the translation choice in hgsn to give the characters Appalachian/southern accents was so great. I know I’ve seen some reviews that say they find it annoying, but idk it’s second nature for me because it’s literally how I talk.

I especially love that Yoshiki has one despite being smart. Like the amount of times I’ve seen media where all the dumb characters have ‘hick’ accents and the smart ones have more standard accents… And the thing is, they could’ve easily not given him one. They could’ve rationalized it by saying since his mom is from Tokyo he simply never developed one, but they didn’t and I love it
