I've actually made that same argument about folks who can't tolerate subtitled work, but I usually just hold that standard to foreign films, like Amelie(french) or Downfall(German), or Life is Beautiful(Italian). Even Chinese and Japanese films I'll watch in their original languages.

Yet when it comes to anime, I dunno, I just don't always feel like watching it in Japanese. Some anime needs to be watched in Japanese, like say, Yakikate!Japan. But unless it has something language dependent like the puns in that show, I can take it or leave it either way. That's one reason why I'm so blasé about watching anime in Japanese.
