Hank Hill and his fellow denizens of Arlen, Texas, are about as American as you can be, seemingly exemplifying the best and worst of the nation itself. In transitioning their dialogue into Japan, some fans believe that you lose some of what makes those characters so delightfully U. Take for example Boomhauer, who in the original English version, is nigh impossible to understand. This is specifically a joke on "southern drawl" and a huge exaggeration of some American dialect overall.
Instead of following this style to a tee, the Japanese voice over instead changes his language to make it understandable, but "lazy". Does this fundamentally change the character do you think? Aside from just Boomhauer, there are several other examples of the dubbed Japanese version of the show changing some subtle dialogue or quirks among characters in order to make it closer to Eastern culture.
King of the Hill , which began in from creator Mike Judge who also spawned MTV's Beavis and Butthead , has amassed a big following on the internet, with a lot of fans jokingly saying that it's their "favorite anime".
Didi tells Hank that Cotton has not been acting like himself and asks for help. Dale suggests taking Cotton to John Redcorn 's healing spa for steam with Bill tagging along. Once inside the sweat lodge, the four guys begin to hallucinate; Bill sees himself naked and riding a motorcycle off a cliff into a giant pie, Dale sees himself having sex with a praying mantis before it decapitates him, and Hank sees himself finally gaining his father's love and acceptance.
But Cotton sees every last soldier he killed in WWII entering the tent to kill him which causes him to run out and berates Hank for the idea. Back In Cotton's apartment, Bobby sees his grandfather looking at a picture of a Japanese woman inside a wallet. Cotton tells Bobby that it belonged to a solder he killed, and admits to his grandson that that he wants to go back to Japan to apologize to those he hurt, but doesn't have the money to do so.
Bobby wanting to help, takes the news to Hank and Peggy and asks her to take the story to the Bystander coining the title "The Widow in the Wallet", but Peggy due to her own egotism or her dislike for Cotton shoots down the idea saying "there is no story". The next day at the Bystander, Peggy tries again to get a free vacation with more stories which still don't get past the editor.
With no options left she reluctantly tells the editor the "Widow in the Wallet" story which finally gets Peggy a free vacation to Japan. Once they get to the airport and on the plane, Cotton begins to have a war flashback which forces the airline staff to drug him to calm him down. Once in Japan, Cotton awakens and runs back in the plane when the paparazzi appears having been informed by the Bystander to make a story of Cottons apology.
Hank goes after his father, but Cotton tells him that he wants to say his apology in secret. Hank hides Cotton in a duffel bag and tricks the news crews into letting them leave. At the hotel they are staying at they find the rooms to be way too small and cramped. Hank goes to his father's room, where Cotton reveals that he is nervous about meeting the woman later known as Michiko again after so long, but Hank encourages him to go for it. Just as Hank was about to shake his father's hand for the first time he begins noticing some strange things when a hotel room service employee comes in bringing flowers and cologne, and that Cotton dyed his hair brown with shoe polish.
Hank realizes that Michiko wasn't really a widow, she was just another woman Cotton slept with. This news forces Hank to call Cotton a dirty old man as he angrily leaves the room. In the other room Hank is still visibly upset with his father. But when Cotton comes and asks for a family photo to show Michiko, Hank realizes that if Cotton is going to show Michiko a picture of Hank and his family Cotton may have good intentions after all and follows after him.
After catching up with Cotton at an apartment building, they encourage him to go for it.
