You know how in older dubs, character's would get the most random accents. Jeice being Australian in DBZ or Joey sounding like he's from Brooklyn in Yugioh. Or an Osakan Character getting a southern accent.

What's your opinion on this practice? And do you have any favorite or least favorite "Accent roles"?
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I dont usually pay much attention to accents
But whenever a blonde person talking in english with japanese accent in subs is eye opening moment

I think 4Kids did well with accents. Nothing of theirs sounds as absurd as the Italian accent used in the Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

I have been satisfied with those, they are the best things about dub. Girls und Panzer dub is superior because of the accents. They add to the plot and make it immersive. I prefer dub but love this kind of dub.
