In Japanese, she spoke with an Osakan accent, but in the dub, she was given a British accent.

How can you say it's dumb when VA's want to learn accent's that crap was totally out of line. It's just takes practices and it may grow into. Dubbers would learn what the Japanese even If they did it for homework. Yet, I blown out of this Shizuru Southern accent thing out of proportion. I hope they could get a better VA's Una Shamrock (previous headmaster) because they would use her voice as Southern accent as well. *rolls eyes*!
