Ipsum-ing like it’s 1889.

Dan Da Dan - Episode 11

[cryoverkiltmilk]

First character design reveals are out for the anime adaptation of Plus-Sized Elf / Elf-San Can't Diet / Elf-San wa Yaserarenai. One of the characters, Oga-san (an ogre) has extremely strong maternal instincts. She tries to adopt child-sized characters on more than one occasion.

Possibly not understanding AmericanEnglish vernacular, the animators have decided to indicate this portion of her personality in what turns out to be the funniest way possible.

I love engrish.

More TV Tropes stuff:

Gratuitous English: Gunsmoke is an explicitly English-speaking world, so this abounds. Unfortunately, Nightow's English skills are less than perfect (and the anime had Engrish abound). The second episode shows us a flier for a "BODYGARD" who is a "CREAT SHOOTER LIKE VASH THE STANPEAT". There's also a sign that says "COFFE & RESTLANT!!" in Episode 5. When Vash uses the computer in Episode 26, it says "Searth Target, All People Relate to Lem Sayblam". In the manga, there's one instance where there's a container of salt labeled "solt". The Quickdraw application in the eponymous episode is pretty legible, though. Maybe Wolfwood is just a better-than-average speller? The whiskey labels are very faithful reproductions of actual brands… except for "Dim Deam", though that may be an intentional Brand X-ing of Jim Beam. And of course, "LOVE AND PEASU!"

Am I the only one who has taken the messed-up English of Trigun - no doubt just the crew trying to create an English-speaking world, and mentally / fan handwaved it (as a native American-English speaking fan) as "Of COURSE it would be that way! This story takes place centuries into the future!" As in, yes, it makes perfect sense to me that people call them "Restlants" now and use "solt!" If you look back into history, things in the same language 100-200-300 years ago were not the same. Everyone who's had to plough through reading Shakespeare plays knows this. I read The Pilgrim's Progress as a very book-nerd teenager. That was a whole other country. I enjoy watching Tasting History with Max Miller on Youtube and I've even made some of the foods he's featured. Whenever he delves into an Old English or Old American recipe and reads the original print from an archive it's interesting how things are different ("plums" being what we'd call raisins and sometimes currants, for instance) and the delightful phrase "serve it forth." What are surely little mistakes in '98 Trigun, for me, become a part of the worldbuilding! OF COURSE language evolved! Hell, in the manga-universe, where the Earth forces come, I wouldn't be surprised if there's dialect differences between whatever Earth-English evolved into and whatever Gunsmokeans / Nomanslanders are using!
