Acting them out like actors? I can only assume that you're from a totally different culture than I am, one where that overwrought cartoon-y vocal style is the way people actually talk?

In my part of the U.S., at least, that Japanese male voice actor style is what most men, and most women, sound like when they're talking. There's plenty of nuance and expression in it. In anime, it adds a welcome note of magic realism to the form, unlike that American-style exaggerated "acting" of lines that only sound right when spoken as if in conversation. It's like the Americans think, "They're watching cartoons, so obviously we should make this as cartoon-y and unsubtle as we possibly can!"

If these people "acted" this way on a primetime live drama, they'd be fired. And yet, you say you like this style of voicing? Seriously, does it sound natural to you, or do you like it for some other reason? If it's for another reason, what is it?
