I'm not arguing anime here, nor the production of it. I'm quite aware of the differences that need to be made with script changes to match flapping mouths and whatnot, which can result in quirky and clunky dubs. Once upon a time, I too watched anime, and had about equal dub and sub. Some are hit, some are miss, I will give you that, BUT..the point I am trying to make is that people treat the Japanese and their language as if they're some omnipotent existence on this Earth and that anything in Japanese will always be vastly superior (not just anime, as evidenced by this very thread), even when production elements and high quality dub voice actors are streamlined; because to these people, their minds are ALREADY made up that anything non-Japanese will suck. Then they will watch or listen to said non-Japanese thing and find reasons to validate their worshiping of the Japanese language and its superiority. Lol
Thing is, most mainstream anime/games are either: Japanese or English. If you're playing on a Nintendo console or Sony console, chances are it's one of the two for most games. So it's not that Japanese is held "above all", it's the simple fact most gaming and anime media that's mainstream is Japanese.

If it was Chinese or Korean you'd be pissy about people holding those languages over English or French.
