    Sorry, Abe. Abri? Abigail? Abriginal? *cough* ima call you Abe.

    The reason Japanese voice actors sound so good compared to English voice actors in anime, is because they're Japanese cartoons, designed by Japanese, for a Japanese audience. Unless the script allows for English interpretations (see; Cowboy Bebop), even the most seasoned VA in America will have a difficult time making their dub sound natural and well placed.

    The idea that Japanese are inherently better voice actors is rubbish. Just ask any Japanese fluent in both languages (I did, and they laughed at your statements. Hard.)

    Passing off your observations as fact is kinda foolhardy? Ridiculous? What's the adjective I'm looking for. Garish? Egotistical? Something like that.

    Or just a matter of rather extensive experience on the field. As much as quite evidently some hate to admit it.

    Japanese voice acting is normally higher quality than the original even on American games or cartoons. For the same extensive reasons I explained above.

    If all you have to say in response to extensive arguments is "NO! It's RUBBISH! YOU'RE A BAD BOY. I Speeks with the fluentz!", may as well not even try.

    Not that you've even read those arguments, because of all you can take from them is "the Japanese are inherently better voice actors", then either you didn't read or you can't.

    But do go ahead scrambling for mildly offensive adjectives. It doesn't really change much.
