user, I just think that 99.9% of media sounds better in the language it was created in. I think Bayonetta has fantastic English voice acting, despite being a Japanese game - and that's probably because Bayonetta was developed without a Japanese dub Iinitial the first place. The Wii U version adds Japanese voices, but frankly they aren't great, and that's because the game wasn't intended for them. I also think plenty of Western developed games have great voice acting - an obvious example is The Last of Us. P5 is just another case like this; it's better in the language the director actually oversaw, and that's not remotely surprising.
I think you're being ridiculously anecdotal with your evidence. So for the sake of consistency I'll just say I disagree since that's as good an argument as you made. Directors are always the ones responsible for over-acting, P5's dub doesn't suffer from over-acting because of the VAs, it's because of the director. Frankly it sounds like you are just watching a lot of testosterone-fueled shounen anime and basing your opinions on that. But really you should consider that most of those shows exaggerate everything, not just the acting - look at the animation style, or the soundtrack. It's likely a deliberate decision made by the director to make the show seem more exciting or adrenaline fueled. Look at it through that guise and judge whether it works, or at the very least if it fits with the rest of the show - because if it does, then even if you dislike it, it's not an issue with the VA, it's an inherent issue with the show itself.
