Japanese dialect in animes - Accents can be charming
Anime
Kansai-ben, Touhoku-ben, Hokkaido-ben, ... Japan is rich with their dialects, accents and expressions. I find certain charms to these and will try to maintain this stack adding animes involving some of these dialects.
It might take me some time to gather series and regions but I will try my best.
If you have suggestions, my comments are opens |ω･)ﾉ
(will try to take time to inform where's the dialect are from)
