When I first watched it I watched the German Dub and I agree. One of the rare anime where it doesnt really matter which version you watch (unless you go deeply into theory crafting).

The dub’s flatness actually works here.

Old dubs are just amazing

Alice: Lain? Are you ok? Lain: æ

I love how the "funny moments" compilation for Lain is still incredibly unsettling and horrific.

DAMN YOUUU DAMN YOUUUU

Dub acting is dreadful as a rule. Think of the difference between high school English lessons when studying Shakespeare and the teacher picks people to read parts - most people don't like Shakespeare and it sounds just like it is, robotic and forced, someone reading words they don't care about from a page, and the potential talent pool to cast from is small - and a movie version of that same play starring skilled professional actors. Dubbing _is_ done by pro actors, but dub studios, like the English class, have small pools of talent and are hiring on a pretty low budget and working to tight deadlines, so they often aren't _good_ actors, you get the same voices over and over and there is little time to do more takes so bad performances are left in. Some dubs are good. Most are very poor. On top of that, in Japan, anime studios work closely with a much bigger talent pool of generally more skilled actors who have trained their voices for range (many are also singers) and may even have specific actors in mind when creating characters, but are not usually involved at all with dubs. Where the Japanese cast will have access to the writers and production crew for support in creating their character, other language dub casts have a totally different director and sometimes no information about characters to work with beyond raw copies of the show itself, so you may well end up getting dramatically different or wildly inconsistent interpretations of characters. The Japanese audio is what the creators intended the show to sound like. The dub...is not that. Then there's practical issues, like cultural peculiarities specific to Japan that don't translate smoothly and have to be adapted, e.g. a school setting may have students going to English class, which makes sense for Japanese characters but if they are already speaking English all the time, that would be weird, so what do you do? Or synching issues: the character opens his mouth wide (like at 0:20 above) so the English has to match the mouth movement, but in context it doesn't fit, or they require more time in the script than is available so the actors have to talk too fast, or too slow. Solutions often suck unavoidably, basically, making dialogue unnatural. So it adds up to a mix of weird, forced, unnatural, inconsistent or just plain bad performances. This vid is just laughing at bad performances, this dub in particular being known for lifelessness and sounding emotionless. The alternative is Japanese audio with subtitles, but for some reason many people think this is unacceptable. Personally, I watch subs or I don't watch. To me dubbing is pointless and represents added expense and delay on overseas releases. But you should probably talk to a dub lover for balance, I freely acknowledge that mine is a fairly extreme viewpoint.
