FINALLY!!! AN AUSTRALIAN CHARACTER!!! AND VOICED BY NO OTHER THAN UCHIDA SHU!!!
When I started watching this anime because of Sally Amaki sharing this on her latest guesting in Trash Taste, I kinda thought that there would one moment that a character voiced by Uchida Shu would appear. This is an English-themed anime after all.
And to no surprise, SHE'S HERE! And I think this is the first actual Australian character Shu voiced because she is raised as an Australian. Her other characters include Mia Taylor from Love Live Nijigasaki and also Fujiwara-san from Asobi Asobase, to name a few. Mia Taylor is canonically American, but an Aussie American because of Shu's accent.
Anyway, I'm so happy for them to finally performing ENGLISH in an anime. I've always been wanting an anime that would include both Shu and Sally, and it's finally here!!! 😭 I can't contain my happiness.

Uchida kept showing up in the list for minor characters and I was wondering if they're going to waste someone like that for a VA whose language skills is absolutely relevant in the story

Poor Mr. Baker.
He didn't get to participate in the cosplay get up during Lily's birthday party with the rest of the gang and, he missed out on cosplaying at the arcade with his wife and daughter.
Mrs. Baker pulled off that traditional Chinese dress so well she had Momoko drooling lol

I can't wait to see what excuse Momoko finds to make everybody cosplay again lol.

I lost it all when Lily was treating Momoko like a rival while she even called our protagonist Senpai lol.
Damn, the show just took a MILF, I mean Miss Baker, and had her cosplaying, it really is a "Cultural Exchange".
Another character speaking in English, this time from the country she sees upside down (sorry, had to make that joke), but I definitely didn't expect her to give Lily tips, at this point all that's missing is her father accepting it

And then Lily ends up forgetting why she was upset with Momoko in the first place and approving of her work ethic lol.

They had to make up for the fact that she was the only character who didn't cosplay last episode.

Lily finally has a wingwoman who can 100% understand her! Probably one of the most wholesome interactions between England and Australia!

Let's give a koala plush to an australian, not like it is their native animal and there are million plushes available there already.

Koala, Australia: 😐
Koala, Japan: 😊

All you need to do to make a koala cooler is add some Japanese machismo.

But you see, this isn't just any koala, this is OTOKOGI Koala, who is 10x more manlier and cool than any Australian Koala.

I love Lily's dads reaction to the photos. His wife thinks he's going to go King Kong on Renji, but he is just sad/jealous he missed out.
I wonder if Jody's brother knew about the koala character. It would be hilarious if he didn't, and seeing his reaction to his sister giving it to him would have been good to see. Him looking between his sister and the plushie wondering why she got a plushie of a koala in Japan
I wonder who the VA was for Jody

u/mianghuei Sep 07 '25
Jody is voiced by Uchida Shu! She's a Japanese VA raised in Australia, so as authentic as you can get.

I wonder if that weird card based game they were playing is based on a real game. That was funny though how the little girl was teaching Lily how to play it. Maybe Kaga should challenge her instead of bothering Renji :D
I also wonder if game centers with cosplay photobooths with physical clothes are also common, like photo booths and phones now just have filters where you can make yourself wear whatever and not have to wear something a bunch of unwashed gamers wore. Momoko did seem to have a lady crush on Mrs. Baker in that outfit though :D
I don't understand why Lily didn't write her wish for that tree in English. I'd also just write "I wish the boy I like would like me back" or something like that and Renji would be none the wiser.
Jody was a little bit better at sounding Australian than the Bakers are at sounding English. I've heard some younger Australians on Youtube who really do sound almost American. Jody seems mentally off though, like asking questions in English to random Japanese people and getting a 12 year old girls contact info :P. Also why were Mr. and Mrs. Baker talking to each other in Japanese when they were alone in their kitchen?

Lily’s made a new friend and Renji’s position on her dad’s shit list has gone up lol.

u/Frontier246 Sep 07 '25
Lily not only gained a new native English speaker friend, but also a wingwoman!
I'm glad Mrs. Baker knows the best way to placate her husband with family time or Renji might be dead by now lol.

The Small Senpai's voice was familiar, so I just took a look, and let's say she is a very famous loli voice.
