the movie VS. isn't too bad, neither is battle royale. i think thier acting is bad to us because we compare it to the acting here which is way over budget and over glorified. I think the japanese realize that and thats why in a lot of anime the characters look westernized, but i could be wrong about that. it seems as though they are trying to follow a western mold. if you look at older japanese anime(100 to 200 years) it is very oriental in nature but that has changed over time. For a while big eyes was a big thing but that has been toned down as of late.
actually, the voice acting in current animes is anything but realistic. Older anime shows had much more realistic voice acting. VS and Battle Royale had the really annoying inflection and squeeky unrealistic voices as well. American movies typically have people acting normally (except for some of the more "dramatic" scenes or movies).
