This. The thing is western anime fans can't really hear the bad in the Japanese voice acting because most of them can't even identify well known seiyuu - let alone tell different voice actors apart - by voice alone or understand even 10% of what's being said, but believe me it's just as eye rolling and in many cases outright worse than the english.
If you can't understand it you are pretty much incapable of judging if it's actually good or not. It just seems better because you can't tell.
