Japanese English Lessons, Full Metal Jacket style

Japan: We’ve secretly replaced the usual English study materials with the script from Full Metal Jacket. Let’s see if anyone can tell the difference.


From http://byakuya.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/english-fun-with-pixel-maritan/ :

"So what are the Pixel Maritan series about? In brief, they are… English lessons. English lessons that teach the fascinated Japanese-speaking learner in using NSFW slangs US Marine Corps style. Maritan is the chief drill instructor who gives around 80% of the lessons, with the occasional input by her mother and her maid, a sentence or two by recruit Army-san, and in the third volume, we get a new member Tinkle Alice sharing part of the limelight in hurling expletives. The books contain short comic illustrations, with one snippet per page for each lesson, followed by another page for further explanation on pronunciation and meaning of the English phrases."

Here are a couple of pages from the books:
