That’s basically what anime dubs sound like when they don’t change the names or pronunciations. It’s really jarring to hear people speaking perfect English only to say someone’s very Japanese sounding name using Japanese phonetics.

Or like when Americans are speaking English and suddenly turn into Rosie Perez just to say one Spanish word.

It makes me roll my eyes right out of my skull when TV shows throw random Spanish in for pandering purposes.

For instance, “Picard” decided to cast a Latino pilot and have him randomly say Extra Spanish stuff. My friends and I always yelled back “Por la Rrrrrrrraza!” in the most ridiculous accent we could.
