I have seen a number of original anime series and then have seen them licensed and brought over to the western world only to sit and wonder if its the same show I'm watching. A large percentage is translated poorly and the voice acting is so bland its just not worth watching, either that or the shows are cut to shreds either due to its graphic nature or adult themes.
I'm not completely against dubs and there are indeed a few companies that have done a rather good job of "porting" anime into english (Hellsing from Pioneer).
I just believe that if companies want to get my hard earned cash out of my pocket to get their DVD or pay for access to a subscription channel then _please_ keep the show in its enirety and save what makes that show work. Don't Rip its guts out.
The comic strip from VG cats sums it up perfectly IMHO
