    I have been watching this show since the start and I still can't work out what is up with the Engrish scnes that pop up either at the start of the episode or halfway through. At first I thought they might become important to the plot at some point but the longer they go on the longer I am thinking that they are just pointless. Having said that I still can't work out why they are there at all. The strange 'projector failing type effect' that happened at the end of the last one makes me think that they maybe from a TV show or Film that one of the characters is watching in their spare time. Any thoughts?

    I'm thinking that those scenes might actually be flashbacks, but I don't know lol I guess we'll find out as the show progresses.

    I have to say that that is becoming a distinct possibility. Is it me or is the guy in the scenes Lintence from Grendan? If not it sure looks like him.

    I just watched episode 11 and it turns out that the scenes are from a TV show. Shame we found out so early though... I quite liked trying to work it out.

    Just had to say that I love the fact that they keep showing the clips. I am almost as interested in the engrish scenes as the actual show. In fact does anyone else think it would make a good show? I would watch it.

    OK just watched episode 19 and the scenes are not just a TV show! I am very confused now... Oh well. Loving this show!
