Hmm..tough one.  What I'd probably do is mirror what I saw on a rather silly
girls-with-mecha show called Battleskipper.

In that, the mecha had Osaka accents, so when they dubbed it they gave them
Bronx accents.

"I dunno, honey, ya shoire ya know wha'cha doing?"

Anyone else know of a better way?

Ugh...I don't know if I'd want to do it that way. Especially since the
Japanese doesn't seem to give me an idea of a Bronx dilect..
 
I have some idea's from the Rayearth I have (Caldina) but I could use a
bit more help and some more ideas on how to handle it.


How do they do it in Rayearth?  I'm looking over my fansubs now, but I don't
see it.

I dunno, I forget right now...:) And it was in the manga fan translation
that they ended up giving Caldina a different voice. Although IIRC it was
a mild Bronx accent....

Ja ne!!
