There are so many intelligent and amazing people in this world.

of anime dubbed for American TV are stripped of all cultural references and in-jokes. I understand your pain. I can't watch dub, I just can't. It hurt too much.

I grew up watching Taiwanese/HongKong television, much Japanese anime and then was later introduced to American television. I love all of them, but having grown up watching such different texts with all their cultural references and jokes intact it left me quite aware of the differences in the different cultures. I appreciate that.
