Context completely changes in some translations you see.
Like in Japanese theres several ways to say "I" which changes the context of a sentence.
Also prefixs with names changes context and they are rarely translated accurately.
That's just for starters.. second I doubt PSU will be a solo product, it will most likely have radio dramas which I would like to listen to. Readjusting to characters voices isn't fun.
Dubbing in English is usually poor quality and done with no care what so ever. It's quite often bland and the same damn 6 people doing the voices in everything ever. I don't wish to have every hero with the same voice as often seems to be the case these days.
Also why do you assume we don't like subtitles? I happen to like reading subtitles because I'm used to it. Watching things without subtitles is really confusing for me..
But I can see why you'd want it in English if you don't understand any Japanese. But once you do you start to see how mismatched the two languages are and you lose a lot of context in translation
