/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Sorry I don't watch cartoons but nips don't have blue hair for starters

From what I've heard they don't cross only at green lights, eat a lot of food and party all the time. Also they might be hicks.

just thought I'd ask /jp/ since it's a short cartoon about Japanese culture

and this board is about...Japanese culture...and all

I think the point was that it exaggerates all the stereotypes about them

Are they gonna fuck or what?

I wish I had a shameless, incestuous country hick sister who wanted to do all kinds of raunchy things like it was normal.

| keep saying "one more episode" since they're so short

And I keep wanting to see what she says next

I just want to go to bed ;_;

Osakans are basically Japan's hicks

>>10724828
seems like i missed out on lots of flavorful translation by watching hs subs

>>10724758
Osaka is like Tokyo's rival. The metropolitan area there is 18 million people, they definitely aren't hicks. The kansai dialect is like the second most spoken dialect in Japan, so it is the dialect that you see most often in anime that isn't the standard dialect. It's simply commonly localised as a southern accent for Americans, because it is just the easiest thing to do, not because they are hicks. "Hick" dialects are the less common ones you don't usually hear in anime.

>>10724758
There's a phrase that goes "if Tokyo is where the shots are called, then Osaka is where the money is made". It's sort of like California if Tokyo was NYC except with the sterotypes swapped; Osakans are stereotyped as having intense regional pride, a strong accent and also being somewhat annoying, hyperactive and pushy while also being less than moral and caring way too much about money.

Let's keep talking about Osaka

if the kansai dialect were compared to a dialect in American English what would it be compared to?

>>10726318
Southern accent

>>10726318
Texas

>>10726342
>>10726344
This is why most Azumanga Daioh fan subtitles are terrible.

Learn Japanese, kids.

>>10726348
The AZ dub is better than the subs

>>10726344
Actually, most of the Texans I've heard don't sound like that. It's really boring.

>>10726362
Those aren't true Texans. Those are immigrants. They moved to Texas from other parts of the country.

God I'm such an autist

Im attracted to this terrible art, and the lewd things she says in the intro ;_;

>>10726372
No, they were all born and raised there.

>>10726378
Then their parents are immigrants. No true Texan has a Yankee voice.

Osaka being compared to Texas seems about right

the accent would make sense and so would the odd fashion sense

>>10726348
Most?
Can you tell me a good group? I really love Azumanga, man.

>>10726318
The bronx.

>>10726377
>terrible art
I dont see it.

>>10726318
Based on what >>10724872

Seems to make the most sense.

Especially in the 4koma version of Azumanga Daioh where Osaka has a boston accent.

People who make Osaka people sound southern are objectively wrong.

>>10726474
No you are wrong. The Japanese stereotype Osakans as dumb. Bostonians aren't known to be dumb.

>>10726483
I just used the bostan for the accent. The new york stereotype seems to fit the osaka best

>>10726494
What?
That makes no sense. There are no similarities between New York and Osaka stereotypes.

>>10726498
Oh I misread >>10724872

Thinking he was saying Osaka was like NYC not California.

Decided to watch a random episode for the first time (episode 9) I wonder if the osaka viewers find this cringe worthy.

I dont now much about the japanese dialects but I am still able to pick up some of the differences and it seem to be really shoved in your face and a bit obnoxious about it.

Texas ain't the South. It's a whole 'nother beast. If you want South, it's gotta be a contest between Alabama and Georgia.

garbage translation

>>10726558
It's probably about as offensive as King of the Hill is to Texans

>>10726394
>ええねんで
Why do they use nasal sounds so much?
I wonder how an Osakan with cold would sound like.

I wonder if a non-native can actually discern Japanese accents (not dialects)?

I cannot even tell the difference between a lot of anglosphere accents.

>>10726483
YA DUDE THAT'S A WICKED PISSA

>>10724758
You take elevator on the left side when you don't walk in Kansai because it was the region for merchants.

In all other japan it's the right side because this way you could use your katana, but in kansai it was left side so you could protect your money pouch.
So osakan are linked with money, buying selling.

Osakan are also like, the only people to openly use their dialects, all others are shy about it when they go to tokyo and try to hide their dialects.
So that links with osakan with being boastful/prideful.

Also osakan are more "friendly" as in, overly friendly with stranger from a japanese pov.
That makes them a bit coarse but not harmful. Not refined but not assholes.

And lastly kansai is the capital of tsukkomi. Any kansai resident always speaks in tsukkomi and they are all funpersons.
That makes kansai resident the super-funny guy.


So to sum it up, Osakan are good with money and overly friendly, makes coarse but funny remarks, and are boastful and loud but don't mean any harm and will gladly use their skill to help you overcome your shyness and get better at bargaining.

Also they're from the truCAPITAL edo or some bullshit.
And the empror is actually a descendant of the southern family and therefore is not the legitimate emperor.

Osakan vs Okinawan
どっちがすきなのか？

>>10727729
>And the empror is actually a descendant of the southern family and therefore is not the legitimate emperor.

Dude what? Explain please

>>10727718
If you can't discern accents, you must be deaf.

>>10724842
I thought that was Hokkaido

>>10727794

I doubt anyone could label every anglosphere accent based on an audio sample, considering there are several hundred.

Getting 10% exactly correct would be difficult.

>>10727650

i'm a native texan and have lived here most of my life and i would say it perfectly captures stereotypes and general weirdness of people around here perfectly.

>>10727803
even if you can't label them, you'd have to be deaf to not hear two people with different accents sound different from one another.

>>10727823

This is pointless to continue.

I don't want this to devolve into semantics.

Osakans speaking English is horrifying yet interesting because their awful accent goes into their English as well.

I've heard it once, and I don't want to hear it again.

>>10726318
Osakans are rude so probably Oklahoma
>>10726362
Young Texans are ashamed of their accent.

Ever wondered why «Azumanga Daioh: The Animation» wasn't just called «Azuanime Daioh»? A lot less redundant, innit?

>>10729709
hahahahahaha

and an elavator can never break

>>10729720

You mean escalator...

>>10729722
eeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH???

WHICH.??

>>10726498
Oh yeah? Coarse, overly friendly, fast-talking, informal, good at making money and twice as good at spending it, good comedians...
The list goes on and on.

>>10727878
I wan to hear it though.

>>10730535
I think there's an episode of Anthony Bourdain's TV show (the older one, No Reservations) when he's in Osaka the whole time; IIRC there's some Osakan engrish in there.

This amusing example of 大阪弁 was posted recently on /jp/.

お客　「なんやコレ」　　（何ですか、これは）

They're like New Jersey.

fascinating.
i almost understood everything without the translation to the normal moon.

>>10730553
wouldn't it be pretty similar translated in english with various degrees of "what"?

>>10724770
They're Americans disguised as Moonpeople then.

>>10724758
