What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

recommend me any manga where the main character(s) change side somewhere on the middle of the story. but we must not know which sides is the right one until the story reach that certain point (although me asking this mean i'll know from the start)
if possible a completed manga

i'm hoping for stuff like this:
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
long ago i watch this mecha anime about some teenagers entering their country(ies?) defense force to be mecha pilot (why does it always have to be teenager?).. the main character is rather slow and somewhat closed at the beginning. but his talent grows, befriending his teammates, crush the bad guys, save his teammates, become the genius mecha pilot that was praised even by bad guys, and so on and so on. basically what you'll expect from a mecha related story's main character.... until the middle of the series where he got captured by the bad guys... and at first was forced to look at the war from the other side... some soul searching episodes later, he joint the bad guys (as it turns out they are on the right side of this war).. and later on start fighting against his own friends

The only one I can think of is The Grim Reaper of the East. It's fairly short though.

I'm sort of curious about the mecha anime you referred to as an example. Sounds quite amusing. Do you remember its name?

I second Nabari no Ou it is really good, (I've only watched the anime)

also 07-Ghost perhaps? (only watched some of the anime)
Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
At the very end

I also HIGHLY recommend it, its one of my favorites!

thanks for more recommendations.. will look it up later (my free time will be for house season 7 for the next few days... biggrin )
as for the anime that i describe, i'm terribly sorry, i don't remember the title... i remember that it gives these underdeveloped 3d computer animated graphic feeling.. and if i'm not mistaken, it's not part of the gundams' family.
i also want to know the title too but most of the anime i ask on this site end up unanswerable cry
