    What you find annoying is pretty subjective and is almost entirely dependent on what you're familiar with. For example, I hate Vietnamese. It sounds like ducks quacking to me. Thai also, but to a lesser extent. But I can guarantee that no native speaker of either language would think they sound like ducks and even if they did they'd probably find the sounds of a duck oddly human or pleasant even. But to me English sounds very neutral and "normal" when spoken with the standard Mid-Atlantic dialect.

    So if we apply this to anime, people who watch more raws or subs will probably enjoy the sound of Japanese more than people who mostly watch things in English to begin with. So at the end of the day unless you are fluent in a language your interpretation of how annoying it is will always be more your biases against the language as a whole than anything else.

    Japanese sounds cool because of the language barrier, but people screaming and being hyperactive is annoying no matter what language
