Lots of things annoy me about this app, but not being able to turn off the useless little cartoons pushed me to review. Why would I want a childish cartoon to push all the text to the side? Distracting and patronizing. At least give me an option to turn them off. Additionally what happened too the Japanese voices? I've lived in Japan and never met anyone who sounded like that, they're all so over the top they aren't even useful now. I always have the app muted now.
