Naruto Shippuuden Episode 15

[Animeniax]

I was thinking the same thing, very poor choice for Konohamaru's pre-pubescent voice actor. Probably means he won't have much screen time throughout the series.

Pretty good episode, showed some good techniques and skill development, though they did re-use the same techniques. Kakashi's rip-off of Naruto's move from the Neji fight was weak, but he is the copycat ninja after all. The twist with the meat puppet jutsu was awesome and made a lot of sense. Akatsuki members are not going to lose that easily to even high-level Jounin like Gai and Kakashi.

Animation was excellent. Background music was lacking.

Episode rating: B+

That aside, I'm looking forward to the next episode in order to find out what the hell is really going on. Once would think that now the fake Itachi and Kisame have been defeated Teams Gai and Kakashi will continue heading towards the Akatsuki hideout. It should be good if they can get there before Shukaku has been extracted fully from Gaara.

That would be really really bad for the Konoha teams. 7 jounins of varying skill and 1 retired medic against 9 S-class villain ninjas. Even if it is just their shadow forms, the meat puppets gave our guys almost more than they could handle.
