Just as I woudlnt want to watch Lord of The Rings or Star Wars in a different language. The difference would be that the actors paid to voice the roles, no matter how talented, just would not be able to give the same performance that the original directors envisioned.
I've been watching subtitled films since I was eight years old. So long as you possess a modicum of reading ability it ruins nothing. To really get the most from international cinema it's best to have a more open mind. Im not a fan of Advent Children, but it's the princible of getting the most out of the film possible.
