Yeah, ok!
Now that "Spontaneous Combusken" has finally aired in the U.S, what do you think of Brianna, aka Wakana in the original?

Adorable Drew fangirl or an annoying brat?

I found her to be quite amusing.

With lines such as, "He's so cute!" and "Mr. Drew!" and "I'm breathing the same air as him!" what's not to like? :x
 
Adorable Shuu fangirl.

I like how she even uses the same pokemon as him.

Funnnngaaaaa
I really wanna know who did her voice, as I swear it sounded like Suzy's VA from Zatch Bell (who did Sora in Digimon...my first Anime crush...)

She was freaking cute!~ <3 Just like me if I had met Drew. xD

[Drew's new voice is SO cute. *shot for offtopicness*]

Really? I thought that part sucked. :p It sounded like Drew was Brianna's thirty-year-old teacher or something.
Especially at the end when Drew said to Brianna, "You did good. Real good." (or something similar) somehow the way he said that reminded me of a teacher complimenting a student.

But yeah, I found "Mr. Drew" a little strange-sounding.

Other than that, I still find Wakana/Brianna adorable. She reminds me of myself in some ways, except a lot more bold. o_O (And unfortunately I'm not nearly that cute.)

Well, since "-sama" can pretty much be translated to Mr. or Mrs., I don't see what the problem is.
Eh, I don't think it always works to try and translate suffixes. Sometimes it's fine, like in Tenchi Muyo where "Washu-chan" became "Li'l Washu", but other times it just ends up sounding weird. Why couldn't Brianna have simply spoken in a reverential tone of voice any time she talked about Drew? That would have gotten the point across.

Thank you, SPPf! :)
It would probably not sound as strange if Drew had a last name and could be referred to as Mr. Whomever instead.

That or "Drew-Schnookums".

Yeah, ok!
"Mr. Drew" may have sounded a little wierd at first, but it was still obvious she had a major crush on him when she says lines such as, "He's so cute!" and then squeals as he walks off in his bathing suit.

Honestly, it sounds a lot less awkward in the actual show than it does saying it online. Brianna was handled well in the dub, I love the gasp she made when she fainted at the end after Drew complimented her. :x

I haven't seen the episode myself, but 'Shuu-sama's change to 'Mister Drew' doesn't sound all that bad imo. I can quite easily imagine her stuttering that as a matter of fact, as she tries to overcome her initial bashfulness.
"M-m-mr. Dr-Drew, s-s-sir *ultra blush*" :p

To answer the thread's question, yes, I do think Wakana/Brianna is quite the adorable character. Though in all honesty, it's probably partly down to the fact that I find fangirls in entertainment to be really interesting characters. I mean, Amy Rose is one of, if not my most, favourite 'Sonic the Hedgehog' character for god's sake :p

lol, Drew-Schnookums. That's a classic.

Even though I picked "annoying little brat" I'm actually in the middle on this one. She was so cute when she was trying to talk to Drew. But as soon as she left, she turned right into a mini*****. So it actually was right in the middle with me.

No wonder I choosed Green Party :p

i voted Adorable Drew fangirl! but its cool that there's a drew fangirl in the show, but she's not that adorable.
 
I thought Brianna was pretty cute. "I'm breathing the same air as him!" That just screams adorable Drew fan-girl!
