Some English viewers may not notice, but it's somewhat compare it to heavy accent you hear from countryside English farmers.
You know, the kind that you wonder if it's really English at all, since you can't understand a lick of it?

I wonder if the voice actress was from that area. Although it was a bit over-acted, it sounded fairly good.

EDIT: Ah, I just checked. She's from Hokkaido, so her Touhoku accent is probably mostly her "acting".
(people from Hokkaido doesn't tend to have a very heavy touhoku accent)
Ogiue's accent comes and goes when she's stressed, which makes it harder to understand her.
