Japanophiles irrationally hate English voice actors no matter how amazing or talented they are.

Oddly enough, many Japanophiles couldn't tell the difference between a good Japanese VA and a bad one if their lives depended on it.

I think all they care about is that the voices sound cool.

Btw, what does the difference sound like? Can you speak Japanese?

Sometimes I listen to the japanese tracks because the english tracks are terrible, and sometimes...yes, they just sound a lot cooler. Some anime, however, is better in English. The VA for Trigun for instance. DBZ also was made significantly better with the English VA. The evangellion english VA is as good as the Japanese counterpart, and some films, like Moving Castle have much, much better english VA than most things ever released.

People like to sound hip by saying this or that english VA sucks, but honestly, most of them don't know what they are talking about, like in this case for instance....imo that is.

Because I speak english the voice actors sound really stupid for most Anime/Japanese games. However because I don't speak Japanese, so long as they sound 'ok' they never sound stupid to me. Even if how they are speaking in Japanese is terrible.

When I watched DBZ back in the day, I watched the Japanese version because the English one was too damn censored! Both in words and action. The acting itself was pretty good and they really got better as the series progressed, especially with the main cast.
