Besides, I can imagine watching our current group of VAs straining to pronounce big chunks of Japanese dialogue accurately would be painful...and would likely slow down the snails-pace that the episodes are being produced at.

I'm convinced they speak Japanese fine. I don't need it illustrated.
oh, I know why they spoke English the entire episode. It wouldn't be practical on any level. But for a higher level of believability, I just wish it had a bit more Japanese, and the turtles speaking some. I'm trying to learn the language so it would have been cool to hear it a bit more. The English didn't ruin anything for me and it was necessary, though.
