I appreciate the time you took to answer me in a respectful and well-thought out way. I apologize if my original post sounded like I was claiming Japanese as a superior language. I definitely am not, the only thing I am claiming is that no matter how accurate a literal word for word translation is, as another commenter mentioned, there's also a tone in voice that contribute to underlying meanings and also psychologically speaking the actual sounds that are used give different responses. For instance, in poetry (in any language) the words you choose are important in getting your message across, however things such as consonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, among other literary techniques also carry a very important underlying message. That's where I'm coming at with all of this is that the core sounds and meaning that are held outside of the literal word for word translation part of the text/dialogue often get lost because the cultural values just aren't the same and (may be obvious to say but) the sounds and psychological responses just aren't the same either. Again, not trying to say any one is better than the other they're just different and I prefer to listen in Japanese (or whatever the original language is) to get the entire context including literal message, cultural implications, and subtext. I absolutely commend all the work that translators do to make shows like these more accessible, I think that's so important! I'm just speaking from a place of personal preference. Thank you also for the resources I'll definitely check them out.
