You know, I never did find out why people dub anime with such unnatural voices.

The voice actors usually try to match the timing of the mouth flaps in the animation. It's hard to do that while also conveying the meaning of what is said correctly (enough) -- and practically impossible to do that while sounding natural in English too.
