That bit about "the creator's intent" always gets me thinking. I actually tried watching Cowboy Bebop for the first time back in like 2005 on a bootleg DVD a friend burned for me, and the audio was all messed up. Half the time the English track would cut out and switch to Japanese mid sentence. Ended up watching the whole series that way, my brain mashing both versions together. Now I can't hear Spike's voice without hearing a weird mashup of Steve Blum and the Japanese actor in my head. Weirdest thing is I actually grew to like it that way. Makes me wonder if most people's opinions on dubs are just whatever they heard first.
