    How exactly tf do you know how good a voice actor is if you can’t understand their language, accent, or inflections? Do you reckon maybe American voice actors aren’t treated well has more to do with the elitist attitude weebs have regarding them than their skill levels?

      I’ve heard that Japanese anime voice actors are seen on about the same level as we see American anime voice actors.

      I understand all of those things, and I’m a second language speaker for both English and Japanese, so there’s no favoritism there.

      No, I don’t. That’s a fairly senseless hypothesis.
