No, no, no. You've got me all wrong. n00b or not, as long as you enjoy watching Anime, in ANY language, I'm happy for you.
Personally I prefer the Japanese tracks to the English tracks because the lines seem to come from actors who are REALLY acting. It's kind of like watching a Disney movie. Disney movies try to capture the way the actor acts. ThHe English dub is like an after thought, and not because the actors don't try.
I THINK English dubs would turn out with a lot better feeling into them if they put everyone in a room together, like the Japanese do, and record the dub that way. It's too hard for an actor to play off of moving art on a screen, when all they hear are beeps in a microphone and no other voices.
And to anyone that thinks watching in Japanese you can't tell if the voice acting is bad or not, you are wrong. The truth is that it IS hard to find a bad Japanese dub (but it happens). You can tell when they are putting feeling into their lines. To me, it's just as obvious the amount of feeling they put into it, as it is obvious how much feeling is missing from the English dub.
And to prove my point, I prefer the Tenchi English to Japanese. Ryoko's English voice owns! And I like the character a lot as well.
