Why is it that if someone just prefers the voices the original series creators hand-picked for an anime, that makes them a "snob"? I never understood this train of thought. I get called an Elitist Fan all the time when people find out I prefer subbed anime for the most part, and it annoys the hell out of me. Is it really that snobby to listen to something in it's original form? Or is it MY fault that there's an extremely limited amount of decent American voice actors in anime, so I get sick of hearing the same damn group of people over and over again?

And if subtitled anime fans should stop being so "snobby", then why do people get their panties in a bunch if others call Dub Fans ridiculous for their complaints of "READING SUBTITLES IS TOO HARD!", or "VIC MIGNOGNA HAS THE SEXIEST VOICE OF ALL TIME OMGGG!!!"? I may not agree with those things, myself, but everyone has different tastes. I don't think fans who like the original Japanese tracks should be looked down upon for that.

There ARE good dubs out there, and there are times I prefer a dub cast to the original, but it's few and far-between. If more people bought anime in America to support the industry, maybe more actors would be willing to do anime and widen the variety a little more. Anime dubbing is basically the bottom of the barrel for actors, so you don't see many of them clamoring to audition for it. If there was a higher demand, maybe we'd get a better grade of actors doing it, then we'd all be happier.
