Well I don't doubt that. A lot of the Japanese voice actors in general are better than most of the English ones. However, I like Orochimaru's English voice regardless. It just catches my attention. As for the other characters in the series, some voices are worse than others. Like I can't stand Naruto's voice for one in English. Though, a woman plays his voice, so that is probably one of the reasons why. Lol. And I heard from my friend who has watched it says Kakuzu's English voice sounds like he has been smoking all of his life. LOL. Anyways, Itachi's English voice is pretty good. I'm a big fan of Itachi's English voice actor.~Also I love the guy who does Neji's English voice too. He played one of my favorite characters in 'Final Fantasy VII Advent Children' as Kadaj. Anyways, I watched all of the Naruto episodes in English until they took it off CN. (Well you had to watch it in English on CartoonNetwork anyways.) Then I only bought a few dvds here and there,and watched them in English. However I always relied on the manga for Naruto because I have dial up, so I can't watch recent episodes on the computer.XD So I don't watch the anime unless I buy a Dvd. (Doesn't even bother anymore.) It just really depends on the character though. Some Japanese voice actors may sound better than the English one, orrrr the English sounds better than the Japanese. XD
