A question for Anime Fans

[Spiderbri]

Some good points so far. I totally agree with the idea if they are rewriting the script that is unacceptable. Though I would never know and probably have some that are changed.

But as for better voice actors, once again if you don't speak Japanese then how does it matter? I get that you can hear the general emotion but without understanding the language you won't get a lot of the nuances. I mean a softly spoken "Perhaps" can have lots of different meanings behind it with the acting and the word within context of what is going on. But if you don't know it was "Perhaps" then you miss out. And if you are reading subtitles then it's hard to know what word goes with what spoken word.

Heck I just finished watching Heroes season 3 on DVD, the Hiro/Ando parts are almost always in Japanese. But you can clearly tell the flow of speach is different, because of when they say a word like Batman it is the last word in the subtitle yet it is first when being spoken. Or vice versa.

I don't know. I'm just not sure how someone that doesn't speak the language can enjoy it more as a "purist". Seems more egotistical to a degree. Like a music snob that only listens to bands no one has ever heard of and when you mention something mainstream like Linkin Park they look down thier nose at you.

Not trying to insult anyone. I'm just stating my feelings. Still looking forward to hearing other peoples reasons.
