> It's a huge issue. Cartoons are silly. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are cartoons. Cartoons are for kids. Spike Speagal is not a toon. You know the distinction, please don't pretend you don't know.
There are a lot of serious cartoons or comedic cartoons with serious elements. Also Cowboy Bebop is the latter, it's pretty comical in general, even in the sub.
> You see the difference visually right? If not then I can't help you. If you do see that the realism is increased in the second link, then I have to tell you, the voices also need increased realism to match or many people wouldn't be ok with it. I have a friend who is similar to you doesn't even notice bad acting, he likes shows with laughable acting like the flash on the WB. I think you might be like him.
Why does a slightly more realistic visual style mean that the actors must give voice acting that is realistic?
> But even so the stylized voices need a certain level of realism so the japanese people can be drawn into the story. No American dub hits that level of realism at all.
Have you considered that Japanese people and westerners want different things from anime?
If there is an entertaining, hilarious VO with bad acting, and a serious, realistic one with good acting, I'm going to choose the former. I'm watching the show to be entertained, not to be bored.
Why can't you just accept that I prefer dubs to subs and move on? You aren't going to "prove me wrong" in a matter of taste.
