    evidence (at 2:27... and holy crap, I heard they tried to approximate Osaka accents as southern, but I didn't expect it to sound that weird)

    Not sure why you posted that here, but omg, that was painful to watch. I couldn't watch the whole thing because of the retarded accent. Awesome anime tho.

    She says Ni Hao at 2:27 (in order to indicate that they're now in China). It's easier to tell in the sub, but still there.
