I'm just imaging though how funny it would be if emo is helpping select voice actors and what nobody realizes until it's too late is that the person doing english has one type of accent slightly that's sort of specific to one area of the country (call it where they're from maybe) but nobody noticed that the person who's native langauage is Japanese has an accent specific to one area of JAPAN too- so it's not until you've got people native to both languages watching and stopping and going--wait-- did he just switch accents? rofl

ok, person doing English Piro=A
Person doing Japanese language piro's voice=B
A has say, a New york accent. You could get away with that by saying piro and largo are from New york. However, suppose B has an accent distinct to say, part of northern Japan, that the people casting who don't speak japanese as a first language wouldn't notice. So you now have "Piro" speaking with one accent in English and another accent in Japanese. Imagine now once somebody who's good at both languages and lived in both countries hears the speaking and sees the accent switch.

I'm convinced the "cool thing" largo has is really a bomb. It's going to be like MT's deus ex mechina ending.

Imagine now once somebody who's good at both languages and lived in both countries hears the speaking and sees the accent switch. Well, now that I understand... Like I said, I'm Korean, so assume that I can relate to the whole accent thing. Once in a while, on TV, you'll get a caucasian speaking in Korean with an unpleasant accent (for comedic purposes). Now, I understand what he or she said, regardless of his or her heavy english speaking accent. That being said... There is nothing more annoying, for me and many of my friends, than (excuse my hostility) some white boy speaking Korean in an unattractive, American accent. I'd rather hear someone talk in fluent, understandable accents rather than "authentic" accents. I'd rather have Piro speaking both Japanese and English with perfect accents rather than having an English-speaker attempting to speak Japanese.

oh no, I don't want Piro speaking with a very obvious american accent and sounding awful rofl That would just be bad. I just think it would be better if they make sure that the person speaking japanese didn't have an accent specific to some area of Japan, because if piro has an accent specific to one part of Japan, it implies he'd have to be a japanese resident from that area of japan, which he's not, so that kind of gives away that much about the voice actor every time he speaks Japanese, and kind of kills the illusion they were tying to pull off of it being one person doing the voice for one character of an american who knows Japanese. They need to really try to be careful to get people with no accents is the goal.

Ah, I get it. Then in that case...
Honestly, I don't think it would matter much.
Koreans also have different regions with different accents (I can recall two, though, and the two are very distinct).
Now, if an American spoke with either accents, I wouldn't mind. I would just assume that they were taught by someone with an accent.
And anyways, from what I understand, Piro has been to Japan before he got in his predicament.
But really, I don't think there's much to worry about (if they were to make to movie, that is). It's an obvious factor, so it is unlikely to be overlooked.

oh yeah, I know he's been to Japan before, and cou;d have learned from somebody with an accent, but it just didn't seem so likely he'd have picked up the accent that exactly in that amount of time was all I was thinking. It's not impossable, but just less believeable then if he didn't have an accent. 3nodding

~I'd like to see it become animated, but it would probably have to become quite a bit more popular before that could happen.
