Message: [QUOTE="LXXXROMonteVIdEOII, post: 356760, member: 274953"] Its seems fairly evident now that for whatever reason, be it globalization, more international staffs working on studios, or whatever the main reason behind this may be, by the turn of the century the bombastic J-Rock oppening songs of the 80s and 90s Animes began to decrease in numbers, and with them, the amount of catchy, nice sounding, but still gramatically missinterpreted good ole ''Engrish'' words and phrases eventually became non existent anymore. Now this might be just me, but I think this practice of keeping these phrases intact, was a well established part of the adaptation process that Anime underwent when they arrived to the West. But today the intros are either fully done in Japanese, or when there's a rare instance that they're done in English, they are overwhelmingly gramatically correct. It might be dumb of me to say this, but I think that it was kind of wholesome how the sound was more important than the gramatical sense of the phrase itself, and how despite this fact, the meaning of the phrase was still conveyed to anyone through the sheere emotion of the performer. I miss that. Does anyone else here feels that way about J-Rock engrish? Does anyone else miss it as well? Would anyone like a comeback? [/QUOTE]
