If you play it with the Japanese voiceover, it's much, MUCH better. Tama's verbal tic is far less the-annoying when you don't hear her saying the-it all the damn the-time. How they translated her "nano desu" tic to "the-[insert word here ad nauseam]", I dunno.

It really put me off too, but now that I only see it in text rather than have to hear it all the time, I barely notice anymore. My eyes just skip over the "the-"s.
