Today is the day, when Naruto gets aired on Cartoon Network for the first time. Today is the day, when Naruto faces his worst enemy and wonder's who did the jutsu that made him souind like a 12 year old girl. 9pm eastern standard time....

I'm just disappointed they have Steven Blum doing Zabuza instead of Kakashi, that would've made me want to watch the english version. As is however, I think I'd prefer to snag the fansubs than set aside time every saturday night and sit through American society's decline shown visually through commercials. Not worth risking the loss of IQ points to watch Naruto on TV. Also, anyone notice they're eerily pronouncing Naruto similarly to Menudo?

I'll watch it tonight right after. Streetfighter 2V.

OK I'll use a 10 point grading system on it. 0 = Toilet Material 10= Pure Gold.

The original opening/ending sequences are missing and is replaced by Guitar music and shots of the show. Crappy decision. The openings/endings of Naruto were always a highlight of the show. -5

Voice Actors: ( They either get -1 for bad, 0 for O.K, 1 for good.)

Naruto: -1
Iruka: 0
Hokage: 1
Konohamaru: 1
Sakura: 1
Mizuki: 1
Various others: 0

Pronunciation gets a -1. Sorry but get them right.
Sexy No Jutsu: 3
Lack of nosebleeds: -1

I can live with "Shadow Clone Jitsu" even though it's "Kage no bushen" 1
In keeping with the storyline: 2

Total Score: 2

Hmm... well looking back i would say that it's not BAD... just not GOOD either. Really if you want to watch Naruto, stick with the Japanese version, you'll be better off with it.

I was gonna stick with the fansubs anyway...and I did not watch the first ep.

Yes, I can look past the odd pronouncings, but Naruto is it in for the long haul. His voice is too childish, he talks tough like the stereotypical New Jersey tough guy, and he puts people down more often than I remember in the sub.

The openings are better than what they did to DBZ with the rap openings.

Omni: Don't you mean "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"?

Edit: Did you hear the name of the town? Something like "Village hidden among the leaves"?

Was it that or "Hidden village among the leaves"?

Taking out the nosebleeds was the 2nd stupidest thing they could've done. The 1st was making that god awful opening theme. It reminds me of DBZ's "Rock The Dragon" except the guitar riff sounded out of place an unoriginal and I couldn't understand what was being shouted. Also, why in sam hell did they chop up the 1st and 2nd season openings to make the opening and ending? It just doesn't make sense, we don't even see many of those characters till much later aside from the first couple cameos!

I'd call this series fairly well butchered. Can't wait to see what they do in the bloody Zabuza scenes, maybe discolor the blood to black. And hoo boy, what will they do for the scene (ugh, don't wanna spoil it) that involves a certain degree of self-mutilation I'll say.

I skipped the 9 and 9:30 episodes and watched the 10 and 10:30 episodes.

I own the manga for Naruto, and I think I prefer the manga over the anime...the voice acting can definately use a little more work.

(Spoilers!!)

If your talking about the scene where Naruto stabs his own hand to let out the poison and proclaims that he will no longer allow anyone else to save him ever again, yeah i wonder about that scene also. That's a scene that really best describes Naruto's character.

I also thought "Hidden Village among the Leaves" was lame. It's the Fire Village actually and they couldn't say "Konoha"? Then we have Konohamaru talking about how he's named after the village. What a way to confuse people.

Also... Ganeen?! It's Genin!

Oh man, when I heard that, I laughed my ass off.

They should have kept Konoha... why not? It sounds fine, but then again we have people who cannot pronounce. NA-ru-TO instead of Naruto.

I liked it, why? They only took out a few seldom things, and I want to donkeypunch who said they took out the Sexy no Jutsu... in English, you see, we don't need to use "no" so they call it Sexy Jutsu.

It isn't bad... I actually like Naruto's voice, he has to sound like a whining tard or he isn't Naruto.

I like the dub and the sub, although I'll always be partial to subs for NAruto now since I've watched 1-150 subbed...

But one thing bothered me- the spliced up intro and outros... and at least it has a metal-like theme instead of say, One Piece's rap intro.

I just think people always need something to b*tch about, and let me remind you episodes 1-60 are the only licensed ones here, so they'll repeat those 4 times anyways... our culture doesn't quite allow the same things as Japan, hence the small edits.

And also, why am I going to complain when I can get the latest subs myself to watch anyways...

I got freaking banned on Gotwoot's forums just for saying " Naruto 151 out this wednesday" in the topic discussing the cartoon network version. Do me a favor and just get Dattebayo's torrents.

Gotwoot? Who the hell is that? I use Dattebayo's torrents, they definately do the best job, and they do it on time.

My brother always waits for Anime-One...They're too slow for me.

Well they cut out the Sasuke/Naruto kiss.

Well, I say yay, and you can interpret what happened if you aren't braindead.

There's already enough weirdos pairing those two up in fanfics, etc.

I didn't like the preview I saw of kakashi. It's all I could expect anyhow. I did, however, make another naruto music video while waiting for rpg maker 3. It's somewhat of a character profile, if I understand the meaning, with music by offspring. However, it will spoil things if you haven't seen the higher episodes. It's uploaded to AMV, but it's on yousendit incase anyone doesn't want to bother signing up. Here's the link:

This is going to have to be one good AMV to beat Jiraiya's AMV... that I saw...>_>

<3 Jiraiya

The one with rammstein music?

thus being why i will probably never ever watch Naruto ... if i do it will probably be subbed (most likely get the Dattabayo ones i like them) but whether it is a good series or not is is very much too long! yup, thats my two cents. Same with Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 they all seem good but are way too long.
