If someone has a distinctive accent, it's bound to catch someone else's attention, whether due to being aesthetically pleasing to that character, mysterious, or even attractive. On the other hand, it can also mark that character as being a foreigner or otherwise outside of the norm and possibly lead to unpleasantness of some kind. The classic line "I love your accent!" is the inevitable result of this. Sister Trope to Aroused by Their Voice, where this attention has an erotic or amorous intent. Can lead to an In-Universe version of What the Hell Is That Accent?. |

Passenger 57: Marti shows open admiration for the English accent of a fellow stewardess played by Elizabeth Hurley. So does a cop on the airplane, joking that she's likely to become his next ex-wife. Unfortunately she turns out to be an accomplice of the Evil Brit he's guarding, so the accent is actually foreshadowing. | |

Blue Iguana (2018): Londoner Dawn asks Paul to repeat the phrase "Yes, ma'am" because she finds his American accent sexy. Paul takes advantage of her attraction to Americans by pretending to be an astronaut named Teddy Roosevelt whose last girlfriend tragically dumped him while he was heroically saving the earth from an asteroid. Dawn laps it up. | |

Wax and Wayne: Wayne collects accents, although he refers to it as stealing. He often employs them in his disguises, but it's mostly because he finds them fascinating. A true connoisseur, Wayne doesn't just read class or city of origin, but age, job, and district, how their parents and grandparents spoke. The one he really wants to steal is Death's, which is less unreasonable than it sounds given that Death spoke to his friend Marasi. | |

Oni Ga Shiku Series: Ochako is caught off guard and baffled when she talks with Izuku for the first time and he switches from a standard Tokyo accent to a Kansai accent in the middle of a sentence, complete with a Kansai vocabulary. She wonders where exactly he's from and what kind of person switches accents like that. Izuku was born and raised in Tokyo, but since his Honorary Uncle speaks with a (fake) Kansai accent, Izuku picked it up and either uses it on purpose or it slips whenever the situation gets tense. | |

Case Closed: When Conan was James Black for the first time, he immediately realized that the reporters mistook him for the similar looking Randy Hawk due to him being able to differentiate their respective English accents. He convinced the Detective Boys to save him from the reporters by calling him "Uncle Thomas". Conan explained to James that he recognized his British accent right awaynote James pronounced "can't" as "kahnt", not "kent", whereas the American Randy Hawk was known for his strong Southern accent. | |
