However, when the same episodes air on western television with English coming from a character's mouth, in addition to some edited for TV violence, they bitch.
Why.
They can still download these episodes online, even if they're licensed. I also like how no matter how decent the dub of an anime is, "nothing beats the original Japanese voice acting." I'm sorry, since when were you an expert in the Japanese performing arts. Do you know what good voice acting is in that language? Do you know what good acting is period in that language?
Dubbing has come a long way in America. 4Kids knows how to milk a series and make a shitload of cash off of a franchise while destroying the source material in the process. However, other studios, like Viz or Geneon, are able to hire decent and occassionally above-average voice actors for their purchased shows.
I just don't understand how 90% of the fanboys bitching can absolutely abhor their native language. The purpose of this thread is to get to the bottom of this bitching. I've always known "why," but I don't see any logic behind that (if there's any at all).
Any haters of dubbed anime willing to step up?

Well, for me. Their weakness is that they see the fansubbed version. And that they immediatly think that the U.S acting will go bad. When in fact that it doesn't. I know. Because I have both Tokyo Underground and Mars Daybreak (vol 1). And from seeing a few episodes. I can say that these animes have really good acting. Though, if it were for animes relating to 4Kids. I'm not even gonna bother
.
This in particular relate to animes on VIZ, Geneon or Bandai Entertainment + ADV Films
Jam it back in, in the dark.
