When Naruto becomes licensed...

Not only that (what was mentioned above) also have to figure that they more than likely won't get voices that fit the characters. Naruto has a lot of unique characters with japanese vocies that really fit the personalities, but highly doubt that would happen in the dub.

I watched Gundamn Seed first as a Hong Kong subb, right with crappy subbs, actually starting in Episode 8 they changed th spellings of names and I like wtf is that!? So my point is my first exposure to Seed was in japanese voice, now I'm watching it on Adult Swim and I'm pretty ok with the american sub because I do not hear accents its simply american voices which are clear enough, perhaps they do not put enough emotions in the same areas that the japanse version puts but its close enough that Iam happy with it. I really like Mu La Flaga's voice actually.

However first time I watched Bebop was in american dub, and I prefer that over trying to get use to any japanese voice of bebop. I know Bebop was a Grade A American Dubbing, so not best example on why American Dubbing works. However I feel the same way for Samurai Deeper Kyo, very well done in my opnion.

My point is, do you hate American dubs because they flat out suck or because you were first exposed to hearing them in japanese voice first.

I cannot honestly if I had heard Naruto in american voice done similiar to the way Gundam Seed has been done that I would have a problem with it. If I heard Naruto done Love Hina Style, or Full Metal Panic style I will have a problem with it. If I hear Naruto done .hack//sign style I will have a problem with that too, because all thsoe voices I've heard before so its boring and not unique to me.
