Flabbergasting!Anyone who's ever encountered Japanese manga or anime before will know that any series has to have a bizarre and incomprehensible title. Hits like 'Cowboy Beebop', 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' and 'Read or Die' have proved that the Japanese are to naming cartoons what Salvador Dali was to painting, or what George Bush is to the English langauge in general. So, here before you is the very device you need if you're a budding mangaka struggling to name your new work of art. Just click the link the generate your very own anime series title!
In this remarkable and fully rockin' video, an Italian singer performs a rock piece whose lyrics are gibberish intended to sound like English. Entitled "What English Sounds Like to Foreigners," the video is meant to illustrate which English phonemes and syllables carry into the foreign ear, but I tell you what, it sounded like English to me, too, though like English as sung in such a way as to make it hard to decipher.
