I hate how I'm culturally insensitive when I want to watch a Caucasian American speak English.
Some voice actors are absolutely brilliant and deserve true recognition (Vic Migogna, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, Greg Ayres, etc.)
Hetalia: Axis Powers is a far superior show in English dub. Plain and simple. Each character is based on a nation and in English the accents and little quirks come out more. Let's be fair, Americans are as a whole tighter with nations such as England, France, Canada, Spain, Germany, Italy, and such culturally than Japan, so the English dub brings out more inside jokes. (This dub, as are most English dubs, is American.)
Not to say all dubs are good per se, but I hate the otaku elitism. Acting is always more effective in your own language, and with all the non-Japanese characters speaking perfect Japanese with no accent, it sort of requires too much supsension of disbelief.
