It's a nitpick but it really takes the wind out of the sails at the end of the film for me. It's a much more respectful presentation and G Kids should have done it with all of their Ghibli releases.
Why do they have to do that? Oftentimes these days, the original credits are left intact and the English credits are presented afterwards. But they replaced the Japanese credits with English. Luckily, the Japanese soundtrack is included so you can hear it as it was originally presented with real voice actors. They just sat in a booth, emotionless, and read some lines off a script. Truth be told they were not really voice actors in the US release either. Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton were not voice actors in the original release.
