Quotes / Too Long; Didn't Dub

The dub, while vocally competent, contains plenty of distracting ventures into "casual Japanese", like retaining kyoshi and baa-chan in dialogue, as if they can't be translated into equivalent English concepts like "teacher" and "Granny". The subtitles do this, too, and it's really, really annoying. After all, we hire English VAs to speak in English, not repeat the Japanese with an English vocal affect! Come on, people! If I want to pay to listen to Fanboy Japanese, I'll go to a convention!
