I was hoping he'd really go through with harakiri
HEY! THAT'S MY TREASURE!
DON'T TOUCH IT!
>>140277349
Why don't they ever get natural english speakers to play roles like this
It's not like there is a shortage of gaijin weebs that would love to do it
>>140277536
because it's more fun to hear them talk than some nobody gaijin
ARE YOU EVEN JAPANESE?
>>140277536
That was pretty good though, not really Engrish.
>>140277841
its time to get your ears checked anon
>>140277910
You should get your spelling checked.
Does this mean they weren't goign to let him die afterall?

There was one section where Sakuma was talking to Yuuki that I kinda don't understand.
>"The reason you dressed everyone up as MP. . .was to make Gordon lower his guard, so that the MP would have less trouble in the future"
Specifically the "MP would have less trouble in the future" part. I get the Gordon lowering his guard part, I guess, but how will dressing up the spies as MPs help the MP in the future? Am I retarded or did I miss something here?

>Unfortunately, very few actual professional-quality actors from other countries are going to abandon their careers and move to Japan, so the level of talent that these agencies attract are usually pretty amateur. This suits the Japanese entertainment industry just fine: most Japanese people will never understand what they're saying anyway, so it doesn't matter if their acting is awful. And since there's always a steady stream of under-employed foreigners coming to Japan for extended stays, competition is high enough that they don't have to pay any of them very much!
>This explains why, when native English speakers pop up in anime, the performances are often so terrible that it might even ruin the scene they're in. The Japanese creative staff usually doesn't know English very well at all, so chances are you are hearing a rank amateur actor, being given next to no direction for their role. They run a few takes, the staff look at each other and shrug, and they move on
>>140279684
I thought it was because it'd seem like the MP were the ones to do it, thus gigving them the honors of having found the code
>>140279684
You're retarded. But I didn't even pay much attention and forgot about this.
>>140279817
So, in other words, successfully finding the film while posed as MP gives the impression (to the military leadership I guess?) that the MP are actually competent, which will help them in the future? I can see that, though "have less trouble in the future" was an odd choice of phrasing if that was the intent.
>>140279853
Well I guess we're just both retarded then.
Is this how japanese people see white guys?
>>140280193
That's how I explained it to myself. It was that or that if they went as civilians, MP would later have to explain why people not them were being allowed to raid the guy's house
is this some shitty JAPAN DID NOTHING WRONG NANKING NO HAPPEN NIPPON NUMBER 1 show?
i cant watch any japanese military shows, theyre always retarded
>>140280300
Also reminded me of this dude:

The maximum cancer one was replaced ages ago, this guy's probably just normal cancer.
>>140279684
Crunchy messed up with the tenses. The line is more something like:
>was to make Gordon lower his guard, thinking "It's just the MP, so it will be OK this time too""
>>140284550
Not the anon that asked, but damn that makes a lot more sense
So are we getting more Sakuma and spies doing shit together or is this going to focus on the spies going solo elsewhere?
>>140277536
Because those gaijins are not successful VA in sunland
>>140284550
I am the anon that asked, and that does sound more logical, thanks.
>>140277435
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS THING?
New episode when?
I have to wonder, where people in the Japanese empire so nationalists that they didn't even dear to touch a picture of the emperor even if it was inside the house of a spy suspect?
>>140288108
Yes.
The Emperor was basically a God-king.
>>140277349
>TFW my prediction was wrong.
I thought they were going to plant evidence and the thing was a test to see if the spies would do as ordered even if it was morally ambiguous.
>>140288148
I thought the evidence was on Gordon himself
>>140288147
Stupid nips
This guy was like a racist caricature. First time I've seen a white person portrayed so poorly in anime.
>>140290501
Leave Evil Ken-sama alone!
>>140290501
Cry more, cumskin.
>>140290501
Wait, what? I thought it was a very realistic portrayal of how someone would feel with cops traipsing through his house. Especially since it already happened once before. You saw them literally cutting his walls down, right?
>>140290623
He's in literal whiteface, buddy. Are you blind?
Might as well draw a black person with big red lips and monkey features - not that they don't.
>>140290566
>dislike white people
>spends all his time on a European comic exchange
>>140290501
You haven't watched much then
>>140291418
~350, so not much compared to some autists, but top 1% of the population.
>trying to be elitist about anime
>>140277349
I was really hoping this show would be about the spies playing increasingly elaborate practical jokes on Sakuma.
>>140292741
Same. I wouldnt mind episodes of the spies dragging him along to stuff and leaving him in the lurch unless he learns to become more and more like a spy
>>140277660
They didn't even take off their shoes, those animals
>>140277536
budget.
>>140292860
Could be the next episode since it looks like he's going to take the spy training himself. They could throw him into some really dangerous scenario at the get go, or some minor, wacky one.
>>140277349
Geese Howard?
>>140292860
>>140292956
His life as a solider is already far more dangerous then that of a spy.
>>140292741
You mean the harakiri thing and almost getting him fired weren't practical jokes?
Why is this even an anime? It doesn't seem suited for it at all. I know they've already made a movie, but a short TV series with real people would seem more appropriate for something like this.
>>140293177
Anime can have whatever content you can think of, it doesn't always have to have a high school setting with cute girls.
>>140292956
Dunno, I read a summary of the first three episodes somewhere and I think next episode will be about one of them off in some european country alone, possibly with amnesia
I think the anime might start focusing on each spy alone, which I don't want, so hopefully I'm wrong.
Miyohsi at leats, needs to be put in charge of Sakuma's training
>>140279684
its a bad translation, what he's saying is he had them dress up as MPs to make the american lower his guard; because the mps in the past didn't find the stuff either (as the MPs wouldn't have touched the portrait of the emperor). when the american saw they were mps again, he didn't worry in the least.
>>140288108
>I have to wonder, where people in the Japanese empire so nationalists that they didn't even dear to touch a picture of the emperor even if it was inside the house of a spy suspect?
well lets see. they killed themselves willingly for the emperor. remember kamakaze's? that was in service for the emperor. all those poor bastards who charged machinegun nests in the pac theater did that for the emperor too. If these people were willing to die for the emperor, i'm pretty sure they'd be willing to not touch a picture of him too.
>>140293281
I heard that the main focus isn't Sakuma, so it will probably focus on each spy's story.
>>140288108
Even today the staff didn't put in a depiction of the emperor, just a sleeve
>>140277349
Kind of disappointed he was actually a spy
The way the show had gone up until that point i had hoped theyd do something that wasnt so obvious
>gooks
>spies
ayyy lmao. They'll stand out in any country outside of East Asia. Anyway that Sakuma is such a faggot, he was literally gonna an hero over some stupid shit. If every gook was as dumb as him no wonder they got btfo out by us in WW2.
>>140293493
The MP had reason to suspect him in the first place, Ken-sama just outsmarted them.
>>140293377
Yes I do remember kamakaze but I'm pretty sure that was for the nation not the emperor. As for the machinegun nests well that happened in WW1 and nobody there did it for the head of state, they did it for the state.
But let me guess, the Emperor is the state?
>>140277536
The guy was pretty good, and the elevens probably don't notice it as much as we do. As long as the Japanese VA is above charlotte levels of engrish, I don't mind it.
>>140280590
In the first episode, they talk about how Japan fucked up the disarmament negotiations in the US and their soldiers aren't depicted as MUH JAPANESE SOLDIER FOLDED OVER 1000 TIMES, so not really.
>>140280590
No it's a OUR SPY'S ARE SO FUCKING SHIT, LETS GET A PROPER SPY show.
>>140293389
Pity
>>140288108
You have to understand that the religious belief was based on the emperor himself as a living deity. We didn't have this kind of culture since the fall of the pharohs and the japanese still remained static in their time.
When the inevitable happened and the japanese eventually got bombed with two atomic bombs, they realized everything they had believed in was a lie and that some alien culture, driven by barbarian creatures had conquered everyone and everything while being on a technological level far superior to theirs.
It was utter shame.
The Emperor became a man.
The Japanese demoralized beyond measure
Their women taken for granted by the foreign white and black man and their whole country reshaped and build under their basis.
And people wonder why japan is still so fucked in the head.
