Hmm. I admit, his voice is a bit strange and dull compared to his Japanese voice, but you have to keep in mind that the American dub has taken a completely different motive from Japan's version for the voices. In the original, the voices were chosen to fit their personality, for ex. Germany has the deep and angry voice, Japan has the soothingly polite, but nervously quiet voice, Italy is shrill and obnoxious. In America, they were chosen more to fit their nationality. I think it's more of an American thing.. Since we're surrounded by a mix of different nationalities, we're bound to joke about it a lot. You kind of have to use a different mindset when you watch English dubbed Hetalia.. At least that's how I feel.

On the other hand, you would only expect the native Japanese voice to fit Japan better. lolIdunnojustopinions
