Is It Weird That I Prefer The English Voices?

To be honest, I really dislike the English voices. Some of them are ok. To be honest, all the male voices are fine to me. 90% of the females however, it just sounds wrong. Helena is one of them =S that fake French accent aggravates me... I honestly prefer DOA2's voice acting to DOA5's =\

"How dare you swindler!" I still laugh at the poor dialogue in 2... but to me, the voices were better than DOA5's.

On a side note, Tina's VA in DOA5 is actually good! I kinda forgot about her, she's probably the only female voice that doesn't bug me- and to me is spot on.

Wow, so Darren Criss is the voice of Jann Lee? I don't even think of him as the Glee guy, i think of him as the Harry Potter guy.

You know what it is though. Subconsciously America has been assimilated (for the most part) into White America culture so in other words, "white is right". So when one hears an accent, dialect, or slang not of it i.e. urban dictionary, its not instinctively natural. America is advertised as a "nation of immigrants" yet this has never truly happened as you can see in movies, etc. Its as when they localize games from Japan, they have only the White demographic in mind, and not being one myself, very early on I decided to just keep it authentic and have become way more understanding of other cultures since then.

Either way, it kinda gives me a massive brainfart x_x

Also, I might be the weird minority here, but I'm absolutely in love with Let's Get It and I'm A Fighter (the credits theme). I mean, it's freaking Lotus Juice for crying out loud! The same guys that brought us this epic gem of a battle theme : D

I actually can tolerate Lei Fang voice now. After having a 1 on 1 lobby half asleep Lei Fang vs Lei Fang matches with CirmsonCJ it was just too fun mocking her voice. We should have our own radio show or something.
