A series that presents the most adorable gals, in a warm environment of Hokkaido, Hokkaido Gals are Super Adrable! (Dosanko gal wa Namara Menkoi), which stars cute girls with their accent and traditions of Hokkaido, but for the Japanese public this is not so successful, so they themselves have sent severe criticism to the bad adaptation that is made to the slang and environment of the city.
Criticism for Hokkaido Gals anime continues to pour in.
In recent threads posted by people from the country of the rising sun in forums and Twitter/X, the topic about the adaptation of the Hokkaido area in the anime of Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable! has been put on the table, being the arguments implemented, the language used and the environment, which, according to these inhabitants of the city, is not faithful to their customs and jargons!
In the words of the user “@mareflame”, who is a native of Japan, says that many of the words and accents used in the series are somewhat distant from the one used in the city, taking this as a point in favor for the criticism of the users, although also the Hokkaido area has different jargons that… sometimes cannot be agglomerated into one, also making references to some expressions in Japanese.
Why this kind of criticism comes from the Japanese themselves, it is normal, since, if a location is referenced by a TV series, those who live there will feel somewhat offended or belittled if they choose to deform some of the aspects that are in these references. This is not exclusive to Japan, as recently in the English subtitled version of Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable, there have been several criticisms for the idioms used in it, which we have documented in this article on our website.
It’s not something new in Japanese animated series, the criticisms towards the locations or the accuracy you have, as always, are works that, have a certain touch of the author, which can add or diminish what suits him, it can be understood, but why go so far? Now all that matters is, Hokkaido girls are still adorable, as the title says (Shiki would be proud).
Now, taking the plot of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!, where Tsubasa Shiki is a city boy, being born in big Tokyo full of Hustle and bustle, so after certain events he decides to move to Hokkaido, a quiet place where, in his new high school he meets Minami Fuyuki, a really cute and adorable gal. Now he will be in charge of the charms that can offer this quiet and somewhat warm city where he will meet a few gals who will give him a comfortable welcome.
