I know this because my Japanese friends basically told me the anime was pretty cheesy all things considered, and that this is pretty par for the course with Japanese voice actors.

It was also over-dramatic and over-played in terms of emotion sometimes. The dub got a lot of hate, but really mostly it was simply a mirror held up to the Japanese version with the curtain on the language barrier removed. I saw a lot of this with Attack on Titan. And perhaps hearing about 'lacrima' and 'dragon chain canons' sounds like it could be a little less silly in Japanese. For instance, it's pretty hard for someone to tell if someone is doing a cheesy or nuanced delivery of a line in another language. Sure there are subtitles, but it's amazing how much of your own judgements you have to fill in there. The other thing to remember is that the Japanese language, which I'm going to guess few people here (if any) speak in any fluent way, serves as a natural barrier between the viewer and the content. I mean, do you think Kana Hanazawa seriously works all that hard to differentiate Generic Moe-Bob 58 from all the other identical characters she's played? Nah. And I don't think Japanese voice actors are magically more invested or something. Different people voice lines in different ways. I've never really bought the 'more emotion' argument. Sometimes I will even imagine what the English delivery of those lines would be like, or how the Funimation writers would localize a particular sentence. Being that I'm impatient, I switched to subs when I ran out and I have to say I prefer the English voices. For instance, I started watching Fairy Tail dubbed. People like to shit on Funimation, but they and the other major dubbing companies actually do good work.įor the most part, people are going to prefer what they hear first. Gone are the days when gems like Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon were rare. I think we're at a point where Japanese and English dubs in most anime are basically interchangeable in terms of quality.
