sorry for a 12 year and...10 month necroposing but one would think that to be truly hillbilly/farm that as well as Kansai, that they could have given Applejack a Tohoku accent, like Masako Nozawa gave Goku in Dragonball?
To be fair, Kansai is still redneck. or inner city (hence bronx/Boston anime dubs) but Tohoku is above and beyond, as I've heard. Still Osaka-Applejack is adorbs.
