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

You know what I loved about Melancholy of Haruhi? Kyon. He was down to earth, calm, rational and yet he wasn't the "cool guy" character. You know, the kind who's distant and doesn't show any emotion.
I'm of course talking about the anime/novel version not the manga one. I would really like to see more series lead characters like him.

Also a warning: if you want to recommend shojo, be sure that the lead isn't the typical "cool guy" character that I mentioned earlier

Also examples:
Honeymoon Salad
Good Father

There's one that comes to mind, a truly thought misleading title indeed. Seinen/slice of life genre.

The guy in Living Game was just what I was looking for. Although I've already read it, I was really glad to see that you got the point. Thanks!

Also it really reminded me of another exampleDance till tomorrow. So anyone looking for the same thing as I am, be sure to check it out.
