If I ever hear a Japanese VA who actually sounds good speaking English I'll be very surprised. Usually they just sound like they've got a sock stuffed in their mouths, not nice at all .

As an aside, I find American pronounciation of certain Japanese related terms a bit weird, particularly the A in Anime, Manga and Otaku. Always using an "Awe" whereas across the Atlantic we use an "ah" as in actress, type sound. To my mind this also sounds more like the original pronounciation as well. Aw (awnime, Otawku, mawnga like the vid above) sounds wrong.
