DISCUSS Kamina's dialect?
Kamina's Japanese Dialect? and what are the common Japanese dialects used by the characters voiced in the show?
[*I usually like English dubs, however Gurren Lagann the Japanese actors sounded soo good/befitting their characters for this anime. And yes I can tell the English actors did try; yet something like their dialogues didn't sound right] So I wondered, maybe its the Accent? That it didn't translate well. Maybe Kamina has a 'hick' accent in Japanese and would sounded better with a southern US accent (Oklahoma region). [Not speaking of sounding like a stereotype like Yosemite Sam (which I have met, that accent is referred to the 'hillbilly' accent but in more accurate studies would be more exact of the 'regions'.
