>Super watered down so normalfags can understand it>English translator localises Kansaiben to Texan instead of The gorillion dialects in UK and other localisation issues(Everyone speaking standard English in Asterix etc.)>Voice actor is not a native from the regionWhy is this so common?
>Kansaiben
Kansai:>Second largest economic zone in the country where 17% of the population reside and is known for regional prideTexas>Bumfuck nowhere full of deserts and hillibilliesWhy? Obviously British dialects should be the obvious choice. Cockney for Osakan and RP for Kyoto
You will never be japanese
All Osaka girls should sound like Casey from Pokemon.There. I said it.
Okinawan-> ScottishTohoku->Aussie or AppalachianKyushu->Scottish, ScouseThere fixed it>>739423887>Americans are so mindraped discussing dialects and foreign languages triggers their tiny brains
Sata andagi
Are Americans able to understand Scottish, Irish, West Country and Scouse anyways?
>>739423935It took me like 2 years to realize that Casey was the stereotype that all of Osaka's classmates were expecting her to be.
there isn't any reason why a uk accent makes more sense than a texan accent, outside of preference. neither has a damn thing to do with japan.
>>739423946I'm scottish
kansai-ben should be translated as new yorkerand "shaanai" should be translated as "fuggedaboudit"
>>739424436Because Texas is irrelavant and culture doesn't exist in HoustonDialects have an percieved image and Kansaiben and Southern has nothing in common
>>739425189Glasgow?
>>739423853Americans had this mid-atlantic accent or whatever it was called, I think every professional actor knows how to talk in it
>>739425770no part of japanese culture exists in texas or the uk. pretending that you are the same because you like japan is silly.
>>739425189do you like this video?https://youtu.be/fkDhvakx2P4?si=xfAflH7lhHsjCrcF
>>739426191No, baka, i'm talking about stereotypes WITHIN the countryThe stereotype for Osakans are that they're straightforward, social, humorous, greedy financially and love baseballSuch stereotypes exist in every culture, just ask Italians, Spaniards, etc. Dialects should be localises to dialects with similar imagesWhat's the sterotype for people who live in the American South? Guns. Poor education. Southern hospitality. Rural etc.The image DOESN'T match at all
>>739426902I heard Texas stole California's millionaires from the sillicon valley
>>739426902That's because you know nothing about American culture outside of what you see on the BBC
>>739425819No worse
>>739427375Edinburgh?
>>739427389Think smaller
>>739427441Aberdeen
>>739427508Way off, it's ayrshire
>>739427558Since you are Scottish, are you racist or an SNP supporter?
>>739427642Yes
>>739426902>straightforward, social, humorousall of this applies to the southern US
>>739427814Isn't Kansai also known for being rural and backwater?
>>739427860Brother Osaka is the second largest city in the world and Kyoto was the capital for a thousand years, which is why I said the UK fits way more
>World*Typo. japan
>>739428184That Kyoto fact is actually probably the biggest reason it gets compared to the south, the whole region is very old
>>739428456Well maybe you could argue the South is also prestigious because they used to have pseudo-nobility owning slave plantations before the Civil War? But they aren't known for literature, indirect speech, being super strict about tradition and being somehow the biggest communist supporters in the coutry
