It's never struck me as excessive before.

Maybe I was cringing at the bad dubbing when I was younger. Before the Internet, subbed anime was rare. Well I should say before the Internet became a viable way to obtain Anime. Well that or Japanese Anime dubbed in Cantonese with Mandarin subtitles.

Anyway...it's something I've only noticed lately.
