Doesn't the average Japanese person have a better grasp on basic english than an average english person has on basic Japanese? I think they learn a decent amount of it in school but I could be wrong. Also I remember an interview with Japanese people where they said that english people had cool words. Really simplistic words mostly. That might be why a lot of anime will include an english phrase out of nowhere. I think both of these points would explain why most english titles in Japan are 1-3 word sentences with really easy to understand english words (and usually long japanese subtitles at the bottom) |
They seem to really like using gratuitous English. I think it's more acceptable to be into American culture there, unlike in the USA where many people who are into Japanese products are called weaboos.
