Starting off, most of what Kuroiwa was saying was borderline incomprehensible to me due to the Kumamoto dialect she's speaking, but I absolutely love it and want to see more of it.

The list of shows her VA has done is somewhat short and I doubt she's doing the same dialect for all the roles. I'm looking for other shows where the dialect is being spoken frequently, if anyone knows any!

As a side note, adding dialect tags on MAL would be cool.

Barakamon is set on an island off the coast of Kyuushuu, and even a non-speaker like me could tell that the locals don't sound anything like the usual Japanese. It might be similar to Kumamoto dialect.

As for Kumamoto specifically, I only know that the male protagonist of 365 Days to the Wedding (airing this season) is from Kumamoto. There's an episode where he goes back to his hometown to see his family and neighbors. Might catch some Kumamoto dialect there.

Unfortunately I can't confirm the accuracy of the voice acting in those shows. But dialects and style of speech are definitely interesting topics I would like to know more about.
