The Japanese VAs migth think that it's hot garbage, but they might think it's just a matter of US tastes.
Also, a key issue with the writing is the terrible dialogue and chances are, whoever made the translation might have slightly rewritten the dialogue to be less cringe in the process.

For instance, in Germany, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill are an iconic duo of movie history and that is at least 50% based on the absolutely hilarious dubs.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Japanese translators/writers did a fine job with this mess.
 
Not really since the Japanese dub of the Netflix adaptation had the original VA's reprised their roles. I know Watanabe said that he didn't really do much with the show itself.
It even makes the Ed scene tolerable, holy shit.
Not good, but it makes it so I don't wanna kill myself while watching it because of the grating audio.

Even if the Japanese cast thought it was a train wreck, you won’t see them publicly commenting on it. It’s just not culturally appropriate.

Not even the animators or anyone outside the voice cast? I'd even be glad to hear the word of their studio janitor at this point.
Glad that the only decent and most faithful actor in this shitfest spoke up.

If I turn off the disgusting video, I can almost imagine the audio as being a ten years older Edward in disguise asking an older drowsy Spike (with a beard and peacefully lounging about on a hammock somewhere) for help.
 
From the few clips I have seen, this dude appeared to be the only actor who actually watched the show in its entirety and gave effort to act like his character, despite the horrendous writing for him.

An actor, showing professionalism? What a rare sight to see these days. He's taking the criticism like a champ while also giving kudos to the people he worked with. Good on him.
 
I think the difference here is that the original VA is reprising her role and it isn't a first time role whereas the original live action's Ed was a first time role for the actor and was given bad direction.
I dunno. It just seems like the actress is jammed firmly into Uncanny Valley territory where her performance was never going to not be bad-weird.

I mean yeah she was cast to play a literal child character which when coupled with the shit direction and this being the "first job" yeah the best you'd get out of the combo is echoes of deppwonka.
