How many of you whiners actually know Japanese? Out of you few, how many have actually been around native speakers enough to know the subtle inflections of the language, let alone how things are properly pronounced? Everyone LOVES to get up on their high horse about "the original spoken language" but a damn few of you have any REAL qualifications to know whether or not the Japanese sounds good or bad. And by qualifications, I DON'T mean you go around squealing, "it's pronounced AHnime, not Anime."

Honestly, most of you have no idea whether the Japanese voice actors are doing a good job, all you hear is a language you don't understand, and have absolutely no clue as to whether or not it's being performed well.

It fits, I enjoyed it, you people go enjoy being pseudo-elitist posers. I'll enjoy a language where I can actually appreciate subtleties of tone and emphasis, because I fricken speak it! Sorry, sorry, I must be ignorant because I don't fawn over what's essentially a cool noise box to me, because I have NO clue how the words are meant to be pronounced or emphasized!

As a subnote... the only time I liked Japanese voice acting better than the American counterpart was Gurren Lagann, and THAT was only because I felt the voices themselves, something no voice actor can change, fit better. Americans did a fine job otherwise.
