Need help remembering an anime or female anime character that replied a cute "silly" or "dummy" towards someone (it was in English dub)

Not from an anime from the past 5 years or near 10 years though I don't think it's older than a 2008 anime. What more I can remember is that the dialogue was spoken by a female character towards a male character after the male character did something. Probably went "<something> <something> silly! / you dummy!" (really not sure if it was "dummy" or "silly") but either way, the delivery from the girl towards the guy was of rather playful and cheery tone. The girl's not of smol size so it wasn't high-pitched.

The dialogue randomly popped in my head yesterday and I've been trying to remember what anime it was for a whole day now.

Appreciate the help and possible leads. Thanks.

Was it Hormiya? The FMC says it pretty frequently to the MMC. Says you dummy a lot in the English dub.

pink_takakura2026-01-13 09:29

Though I'm aware of the anime through some youtube clips, all of those I've watched were all Japanese dub and haven't heard the English dub of the anime. So, I don't think that's it. And the anime series was released around 2021, if I remember correctly, so a bit off from what I listed in the description unfortunately.

Signal-Comb-69472026-01-13 09:33

Oh my bad I was thinking of when the manga came out which was 2007. Whoops

pink_takakura2026-01-13 09:49

No worries!

Maybe Kaguya Love is War

"o kawaii koto" is probably the line you remembered.

pink_takakura2026-01-13 09:27

I've watched its 1st and 2nd season but haven't watched or heard its English dub.. so not that unfortunately.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

Maybe the “ba-ka” sign language scene from silent voice?

pink_takakura2026-01-13 09:50

Haven't watched that anime, and upon checking it was released almost 10 years ago, so not that unfortunately.

Do you even know how little that narrows it down?

pink_takakura2026-01-13 10:03

'Yes', but I still bothered asking 'cause there might be a chance someone have watched that anime (what it is) recently and help me out remember what it is.

And well actually also 'no' too, 'cause I feel there are a lot of anime to look for around 2008-2015 (the range I've mentioned in the description), unless there are indeed not much of that particular scene / dialogue on anime around those years.

*A Certain Scientific Railgun* Misaka Mikoto

Ruizu Familiar of Zero　

evangelion *asuka*

Are you in this?

pink_takakura2026-01-13 09:59

Familiar of Zero: haven't watched it.

Evangelion: at least familiar with the English dub and it's also older than 2008 so that ain't it..

Misaka Mikoto: I've mostly remember watching the anime (Index and Railgun) on Japanese dub. I also remember watching the first season of Index on English dub but had to switch back 'cause I wasn't feeling it. And I don't think I've heard Misaka call Touma "silly" or "dummy" in a playful way, it's usually in an opposite tone.

The next thing I came up with was this

tendou akane

hosino・ruri

hinaduki kayo

pink_takakura2026-01-13 10:55

Ranma 1/2 and Martian Successor Nadesico are a bit too old anime unfortunately.. so not those. BokuMachi is a bit young or over the year-range I've mentioned in the description, and that I haven't watched that anime unfortunately. Thanks, for commenting again though!

EDIT: SOLVED - I managed to remember the exact dialogue which led me to find the anime and the exact scene. I was absolutely completely wrong with the year range - it was apparently from a Q4 2022 anime and it was from an anime I've never watched the series of and only that scene / clip / dialogue was what I remembered.

More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, episode 9 english dub, upon checking.

Thanks for those who commented!
