Chys lives in Japan. And he's becoming fluent. But the language they use is a little different than what he encounters normally.

Hah, that was kind of what I was joking about. Most people who watch anime (on this forum at least!) probably don't speak much/any japanese of any kind. I know Chys does, and it's funny to me for him to be questioning whether he would be getting the right story from Korean animation because it won't be in a language he (apparently kind of) knows.
XXEXX~ Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, as well as FLCL are all dubbed pretty damn well. Especially Bebop and Champloo.

I've only seen a few dubbed shows in the past, and they're typically pretty bad. The voices never match up with the characters they're portraying. Not to mention that they're usually extremely over acted. It's not good.
This is a great example of overacting. Skip to 2:10 for the lolz.

They talk about it. Pretty funny.

There are a few out there that are pretty good, like the original Full Metal Alchemist dub, for subtitles you get to a certain point after you have seen so many episodes that you start to pick up on certain word combinations or situations, often times I can look away and still understand to some degree what is going on. You'll also be able to distinguish certain voice actors right away. I can't read or write Japanese at all, but have grown accustomed to subtitles.

This bitch is 90% of why dubbing is horrible
Wendee Lee - IMDb
She's dubbed over 400 animes, and i'm pretty sure she's the industry standard in dubbing, so her shitty dubbing spreads to other bitches who try to emulate her and it becomes even more shitty.

Heh with the way most female voices are starting be recorded on anime shows the dubbing really isn't that bad. Seems like most female characters either talk in prepubescent squeals or wispy disinterested voices (see rem and ram in re:zero). That shit is starting to grate as it is becoming more common now.

Despite the type of voices being dubbed, I know the worst part is the lack of the range of emotion. Japanese voice acting really seems to "get into it", versus the alternatives I've seen (even in non-English) that keep the same tones regardless of the situation.
The only voice acting that's usually any good is done by animation outside of dubbed anime.
I'd personally like to see more retired actors try to take on voice acting, even if its for less money.

Not sure what you were hoping for. You've played the games, right? It's pretty much dead on exactly the first Ace Attorney game so far, and if that's what you were hoping you'd see, it's very well done. Never mind the fact that the game has been rehashed about a thousand times through releases on every platform known to man.
