    You are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine but quit pretending this other language that most of you cannot even speak is superior. It is no different than French, German, itallian or Spanish, just another way of saying the same damn thing nothing more.
    Actually, there is a difference. The sound of the languages is very different and have a very different flow, some people are more pleased by the sound of some languages than they are of others. It's still a matter of pure opinion, mind, it's different for everybody, but everyone will have their favorite language to hear. For most is their native language due to familiarity, but if you often listen to other langages (like I do, i'm brazilian but I often watch anime in japanese subbed in english...) you develop favorites.

    I, for one, really like both japanese and german. Actually, the female german voice is.. Oh god, it's like one of the things that make me go creepy.

    You know, what, now I want to hear Y'shtola in german

    I'm actually quite drawn to the French language myself, and if Spanish was an audio option, I'd certainly be switching to that.

    Yda in German though...can't wait to hear that one. @.@ I bet she'll sound hot.

    I am a fan of many different languages but I don't spew venom at my native language or hold others as something more than they really are. I am a sucker for foreign languages and accents and will probly watch all the cutscenes in every language.
