Dunno if that's fair, the Japanese voice acting industry is more competitive and focused specifically on voice acting. Most US voice actors weren't initially in the industry for voice acting and often do lines solo and contextless. Additionally the pool of voice actors is smaller than the japanese industry.

Yeah, both are capable of shit, but the american industry isn't set up for high quality results.

NAYRT but I understand where the OP is coming from. Anime voice acting in particular is 99% of the time much more histrionic than the Japanese spoken in everyday life. There is some difference in English, but to my ear, Japanese differences are a lot more pronounced. To the point it has taken me a while to get used to understanding anime Japanese because I learned Japanese originally through conversation only.

I have the "benefit" of being able to "turn off" my Japanese comprehension since it's my third language. OP doesn't, so if a line is said in a totally cringy way, I can ignore it. The OP can't. It's why I don't watch English dubs in general. Because I can't ignore if the dialogue is atrocious then (or the mispronunciations of names. Ouch. Cringe.).

Heck, I cringed when watching "Altered Carbon" lately when the main character, who is supposed to be half Japanese, mangles the pronunciation of his own first name the first couple of times he says it.
