I did learn to speak Japanese (to some degree anyway), but I'd still rather watch good dubs or liberal subs than raws. As I learned more Japanese and saw more anime, I realized just how much of anime dialogue consists of stock phrases, unvaried word choices (due to Japanese's lack of lexical diversity compared to English), and the same lame puns and jokes repeated over and over again. Good dubs and liberal subs leverage the advantages of English to make the content better than it actually is.

From much phonetic listening I also find that quite true.
