Oh, dear God.
You know what this means, don't you? When you meet Japanese otaku as tourists abroad.... you'll see what I mean. - abunai |

According to another forum user who has the "listening CD," Yukarin's English sucks.

I feel compelled on checking this out.
Who knows? I might be able to improve my English towards the Japanese otaku.....

To abunai: this is not from Moetan but another book, Maritan Shuuchuu Drill Ninensei (まりたん集中ドリル2ねんせい). The protagonist Maritan is supposed to be a US Marine...

I do have to ask...how many times in mainstream English conversation do they expect to say the phrase "you are already dead" to make it into an instruction point.
I mean, do they believe this is a typical day at the office in the US: Hi Fred. You are already dead, Bob. Oh, you noticed? Thanks. How'd it go with Marilyn last night? 
Well, Bob, I whispered into her ear those magic words, "You are already dead" and she was putty in my hands. You dog, you. You are already dead. Hey, watch it...the boss's coming over. Fred, Bob, I have bad news. We were looking at the payroll for the next year, and...I really don't know how to break it to you, but...I might as well say it... You are already dead. W--what? You are already dead? Yes.

I would rather have Maritan...that way I could laugh my ass off while not thinking about crappy otaku dialogue >_>. Also, the Maritan CDs had good English....

I'd already seen it, but thanks for linking to it again.
Requires knowledge of Ikebukuro and fujoshi to understand just exactly how funny this is. But having that.... ahahahaha. - abunai |
