One of the really annoying parts is how you always hear people demand a Japanese sound mode option for every game because we all know that the Japanese voices are better, and the western ones are automatically terrible.
I couldn't help but think of dear, dear Megatron01 when I read that.

Seriously, Japanese culture, including it's cartoons, is neither superior nor inferior to Western culture and animation. It's simply different, nothing more or less. I think it's okay to prefer one over the other - everybody has their own taste, after all - but to say something like "This game was made in Japan, therefore it is superior" is ludicrous. Judge the game by it's playability and entertainment value, not by it's nation of origin.
