Re: OP here

Well, for me most English dubs sound... really fake...? I'm not saying it's the case for every dub out there, but whenever I watch dubbed anime the characters sound really un-genuine and fake. :/

And I think the dub changes the characters - after watching anime subbed and then switching to dubbed the characters seem really OOC to me? Like, they don't sound like they should. I always prefer the original versions (not just anime.)

I'm not judging you at all - you're allowed to have your own opinion.

Then again, neither English or Japanese is my native language.

However, I do get annoyed when native English speakers say "they're too lazy to watch subs." (I'm not blaming you for this, not to worry.)

Yeah, same. They sound like they're intentionally trying to play a cartoon character and not just a person.

Yess you put it perfectly! That's exactly what I meant.

I agree as well. There are some voice actors that are good at what they do, but there are others who seem like they're just blindly reading a script instead of...well, ACTING.

exactly.

English dubs sounding fake is probably my biggest issue. I'm a native English speaker and fluent in Japanese, and you couldn't make me watch a dub voluntarily these days without a gun to my head--it just completely ruins the experience; hell, I had to stop watching an ENGLISH-LANGUAGE MOVIE that had, for some reason, had all of the dialogue RE-DUBBED in English, because of the horrific acting of the VAs.

Japanese VAs just sound so much more natural to my ears when they're doing anime (conversely, I can't watch dramas; it just feels so fake--what is this even??). I've yet to hear any English VA give a role the depth and breadth I hear in Japanese VAs who've been doing this job for decades, and with more range than several English VAs put together.

It's not even just anime; I can't watch too many English cartoons these days because it just sounds so overacted :/ I feel like they desperately need an influx of new talent and schools to foster that talent.

Holy shit, yes to all of this. I feel the exact same way.
