Why doesn't anyone seem to realize that nobody from New Jersey actually pronounces the word "Joisey"?!

Nobody in Jersey...except for EVERYONE I KNOW from the state...

Bad when a stereotype works....

Oh, as for the accent...it seems that Southern is the way to go for Osaka-ben dubbing. I preferred Kero-chan's tough New Yorker accent from Carpcaptors (which was ALSO a horrible dub, and mangling of the story, but the accent at least worked)

"Wow...you sound so cool...." Indeed.

Didn't I say this would happen, didn't I?

Well I am not anti Dub so I give every series dub a chance Tallonkarde. I love the southern accent I think its degrading to it for it to be used so much as the alternate accent. Especially since their are plenty of accents up north which are just as distinct and alot less prettier. Right now when I'm watching Episode 2 of the fansub and I cannot tell the difference between Osaka and the other girls voice other than she talks slower.

Well as long as ADV translate this along the same lines whoever did the fansub, I guess I can't complain.

They must all be from South Jersey

I've lived here all my life and honestly have never heard the word pronounced that way, except jokingly or by someone from, say, Brooklyn...

I'm more concerned with the Bonklers episode (though, considering that the title of their Azumanga Daioh trailers page is "Everybody's gone blonklers!" [sic], I'm feeling rather optimistic about that one) and the far-famed "CUZ I LIKE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS AND STUFF!"

But why southern? I mean if they're going to insist on giving her one, why not a British accent, or Australian, Irish perhaps?

Oh well, I guess it can't be helped.

Personally, I liked what Viz did with the Evangelion manga in giving Touji a Brooklyn accent... they explained their rationale for doing so in the back of one of the books: they talked to a Japanese guy who'd lived in Japan and the U.S., and he said that the effect would be roughly the same. In any case, it did seem to fit his personality.

Now if only they would release volume 8... it's been a freaking year already since volume 7 came out.
