That’s explained by the muscle memory of the sleeve that he’s in. A mouth that has only practiced pronouncing American English will not have the neural pathways to pronounce words in a Japanese way. The consciousness and memories transfer but the sleeve doesn’t change.
It’s a convenient plot device but also it fits the narrative cleanly.

I love this. The somehow nuanced yet obvious humor that picks up on how extremists call pure facts of fiction documentaries.
I’m going to start calling everything a documentary from now on.

Great show. It’s a shame we never ever got another season.

If they ever do a second season, I’d love it if they refrained from trying to shoehorn in any radical changes.

They did a second season, but there were three books.
Excellent series

I think you might not understand what they are joking about. They say there isn’t a second season because they don’t consider the one we have to be a “valid” season, because they think it was bad.
