The point though is that in anime, an audio-visual form of story telling, the music is a vital part of any scene. A scene’s dynamic is vastly affected by the music and I felt the entire experience fairly distorted when the song came on.

Perhaps others may not find the music element to be as important, but I do.

For the record tho, overall, I did enjoy the episode, but when a show/scene has a song inserted into like that, it is a fairly important part of the work. Given that there was no contexual necessity for that song to even be in English, if it cannot be done properly in english and doesn’t need to be, it really should have just been in Japanese instead.

Also, if I didn’t like the episode, the song couldn’t have ruined it quite a bit for me now could it? ;) If I already disliked it, then there is nothing to ruin! Anyway, I wasn’t saying it made the whole episode crap, that’s why I didn’t say “ruined the entire episode” but it did make the experience, as a whole, not as enjoyable as it could have been.

The grammar isn’t that fucking bad, for it to “ruin” the episode for you doesn’t say anything about how good the episode was but how good you are at judging a show’s worth, which obviously isn’t very high. If you couldn’t concentrate because of a fucking song then thats not exactly a problem on the shows part, but on your intelligence.

The “english” song ruined the episode for me quite a bit though, I could hardly concentrate on what was actually happening because of how grating the bad grammar/translation was. Why must they do that?
