Yeah... I think that that last bit is very telling, as I often can't stand the dubs that the Americans produce on top of the animation. Never quite figures out why there was such an apparent quality difference, but... now I can kind of see why... I wasn't just making it up in my head, I really was hearing a real difference in the quality.
I thought, at first, it was obvious why, as American dubs HAVE to be done the Japanese way, so I thought they were at a disadvantage because the originals were made to the voices as they were said; but now I realize that they both were doing the *same thing*... that the Japanese actors had to speak to the animation, too!! So the difference is all the more glaring, I guess.
