The English overdubs are useless. just try watching Ghost In The Shell with the English audio track...
You know that all these heady subjects are being volleyed about, but in English they are not being spoken!

My theory: they figure if you are the kind of person who wants to watch with the English overdubs, you probably don't want alot of the more interesting subject matter anyway. The overdubs are geared towards stupid, lazy viewers.

Plus, Japanese just sounds cooler.
