If you're gonna watch anime anyway (I'm not super into them but there are a few I enjoy), the voice acting alone is usually much better in the original Japanese than the English ports anyway.
I've watched scenes in both, and in the original Japanese, a character might go "hm?" with mild interest, but in the English dub, the same character goes "HWAHHHHHHHHHHHH??!?!" and it completely ruins your understanding of what's happening.
Preaching to the converted. I find over all the emoting to be very off with english dubs. In general, they don't hire great actors for dubs, and only a select few are "bearable" and mainly because of residual Toonami nostalgia. Modern dubs are horrific to listen to and by and large I prefer the japanese voice acting.
I know this is a total elitist opinion but honestly no one has been able to convince me otherwise.
