Would you watch an anime about Osaka's early life, one that took place before the events of Azumanga Daioh?

  No.203106   Report                

No.

Down with prequels.

Possibly, assuming it was high-quality on its own.

Maybe a prequel story for all the characters would be interesting.

  No.203143   Report                

Will it have people speaking in Kansai-ben?

Sure, I'd certainly watch the first couple of eps at least. If it's bad I can always stop...

Wouldn't Chiyo be, like, a blastocyst in a prequel?

I assume my early life approximates Osaka's early life.

More interested in the years she enters the work place.

Maybe we'll get to see her conception.

No, because as great as Osaka is - the main reason why I finished AD - having just a long 15 or 30 minute of pure semi-retardation will wear thin after a few episodes.

Besides, the whole school thing is grating enough, let along dropping the years down further.

Yotsuba&!'s saving grace is that it deals with everyone around her, rather than what all the school kiddie drama shows do, completely blanking out the existence of anyone that's not within the main cast

Most definitely. Everyone speaks in Kansai tongue? It will be like the pure form of orgasm.

I can imagine the English dub already...

Would be the "southern" accent or the Brooklyn one?
I kind of favor the latter, just to make Osaka sound like a rookie mobster.

  No.207532   Report                

I gotta say, I hate the southern accents used in English anime dubs. Southern accents can be anything from Appalachian hillbilly, to Virginia piedmont (imagine old southern aristocrats) to the most swampy of Cajun accents. Instead, we get stuck with the syrupy and mildly anger-inducing Georgia Peach accent.

Come on dubbers, there's more variety than that. Don't even get me started on the various inner-city Southern accents.

what accent do the common black folks use? It sounds like a mix of cajun and some other dialect in that region
i think that would make more sense in directing speech in these dialects in Japanese but it's not totally a region thing either

I'm not sure what the various official names are. My main experience is with what is called Yat, which is spoken in New Orleans.

Osaka saying that putting a sail in her bug collection would be "whack" and the fear that if she didn't get faster that everytime they went out for pizza she would get "shafted"in the ADV manga translations was actually pretty welcome in my book.

According to the ADV folks, Osaka's accent is Houston-based, like the ADV dubbing studios. Like the city of Osaka, Houston is a large, southern city whose denizens are typified as very business-oriented and rather raucous (plus there's that whole loud-mouthed Texas braggart stereotype). The "Georgia Peach" twang is softer, I believe.

Osaka's Southern accent should have been of the same variety as Forrest Gump's. Imagine Osaka going on about farts not being her own and the proper method of chopstick breaking with an accent like that.

"Life is like a box of sata-andagi. Before ya have a chance to eat em, Osaka done at the whole en-tire box.

I'd shoot Osaka on the buttocks, if you know what I mean.
