I actually had the same reaction as Franchette when I watched Blood: The Last Vampire. Saya’s seiyuu could speak very fluent accent free English and speak Japanese not like how Gaijin or Nisei are portrayed in Anime.
Now, this makes me curious. Is Demo-chan a JFC (Japanese Filipino Citizen)? Or has she appeared in too often in Pinoy comic strips be it Beerkada, Pugad Baboy or others that she picked up the language?
Matt: because they’re stereotypes that ‘ignorant foreigners’ have lumped onto the Japanese culture. It’s about the same as the moronic belief of some caucasians that filipinos are all mail order brides and prostitutes who will give way and bend over backwards for any caucasians they encounter. I’ve had to disabuse at least one jackass of that notion here in cebu.

Tentacle porn? The one that Bryan, Glen, and Alan all watched? Lol.. why would those things offend Sadako?

Oh, aright aright. I got it when it was put in the Filipino perspective. Haha.
Thanks for shedding some light on it, Phoebs.
Anytime, Matt. Congrats on your Beerkada Bucket, by the way. 🙂
