I want to see how they do gaara's origin :lol because that's some serious messed up shit.
 
I know I'm gonna get it for this, but honestly, this looks like Pokemon with ninjas. Is this the series that had a 1000 page thread a few months ago where everyone was hailing it as the best anime ever???

They are going to screw the first major story arc with Zabuza and Haku. I admit it, I'm soft, I was teary eyed by the end of that story. But there is just no way in hell that's going to get through and somehow do any justice to the original and major emotional impact will be lost.

I mean you pretty much see an adult kill a kid.

I have only seen one episode (the one dude has the kanji for "oil" on his head or some shit). But how the fuck do you get Pokemon? DBZ, maybe, but fucking Pokemon?

This comparion: Not. Even. Close.
 
C'mon, it's simple. You got a goofy little kid as the main character, the best friend who, from what I read, seems to be all about the ladies, and a witty, independent (i.e. smart-ass) little girl that tags along. Do they run into other aspiring ninjas on the road and "battle"? :lol

Zabuza and Haku's arc was disturbing yes but not on gaara's origin levels, I mean I hated Gaara with a passion fucking bastard
almost killed rock lee my favorite character of the whole series
. that was of course until I saw his origin holy shit that was fucked up

Your tag is perfect. Absolutely. Perfect.

The main character is an outcast and has been alone all his life. There is a secret even he doesn't know, that only the adults know but have to keep to themselves because talking about it is punishable by law, but all their anger and resentment all lead down to their children also. It a vain attempts he draws any attention even it makes him look like a fool, because it is the only little thing he can grasp onto to to keep away the feelings of being rejected of any worth and existance.

His "friend" is the only surviving member of his clan, he is considered a child prodigy and is totally reverred by the village which is quite the opposite for Naruto. He thinks nothing of "the ladies" and only finding a way avenge his family and in a way to be at peace.

The girl was the smartest girl in the class and they were all assigned as a team to be balanced, with Naruto being the worst and "dead last" of all, the other guy being the best, and Sakura being the brightest. Sakura in a way does tag along, because she finds herself much weaker to fight alongside her companions, be it is proven long after dispite this fact she will risk her life for companions, and soon prove to be Naruto emotional link to be strong and learn to totally protect who he has come to care about.

Oh wow, I haven't heard that one before.

But honestly, for someone that HASN'T SEEN this show yet, what else is it supposed to look like?

If you're talking about Sasuke as the womanizer, you're about as wrong as humanly possible. The girls love him, and he doesn't give a shit. And Sakura sure as hell isn't "witty." "Bitchy" is more like it.

And no, Naruto is nothing even remotely like Pokemon. DBZ, perhaps. Pokemon, no.





As for the editing, from what they're saying, it shouldn't be as bad as One Piece. For one, they've said they are leaving "most" of the original soundtrack (I take this to mean they will only change the openings and endings), which already makes it many times better than One Piece's dub.

And they have said they will released uncut DVDs.

I don't know, just d/l episode 1 and see if you like it (unless you prefer dubs, then just wait for the CN showing). One of the groups fansubbing Naruto has an xdcc archive bot with episodes 1-144 and it's very fast (usually ~ 2-5 minute queue, 10-30 minute d/l time).

NOT.EVEN.CLOSE

that is not what naruto is about. try to research some more and make a slightly more informed post.
 
My post was based on the synopsis on CartoonNetwork's website. I admit I judged it based on that alone. At first glance it does look like another childish shonen anime. But my intention was to get some first-hand impressions or opinions of the show from its fans, but I guess i'm gonna get the usual anime-fan response: "STFU N00B U DONT NO ABOUT N4RUTO!!11"


Sorry if was being ignorant before, but you guys gotta understand, alot of us are completely in the dark about this stuff, and I'm actually kind of interested in this series. Help me out.

Hey, I tried to answer a bit. I myself only really started watching anime like a year ago.
 
Christ - even for a Naruto thread this one sucks ass. Good to see it hit CN but i expect it to be raped. The only good way to look at it is more cool Naruto toys without importing.

Like pokémon? Stop posting. :|
 
Maan, I'm amazed how much hate Naruto gets from the people who JUST LOST OUT THEIR CHILDHOOD BECAUSE DBZ RAPED THEIR MINDS AND MADE THEM THE BITTER KIDS THAT THEY ARE. I mean seriously, Naruto is preety good (it's ABSOLUTE SHIT right now though), and will be the biggest anime since DBZ bar none. Haters are just scared.

Oh, I've been watching anime most of my life really. So long infact that I don't see the difference between it and other animated shows. My brother showed me Ranma when I was five, guess that's why I'm so fond of an otherwise ridiculously silly show :lol

A rap theme wouldnt be so bad if they would just find actual songs that fit the show or atleast not hire the worst rapper in the universe as most shows seem to do ...*im looking at you, one piece.*
 
That One Piece Rap is actually kinda catchy and playful if anything. Even if it's bad, it's better than Gash Bell's opening song and a lot more fun to listen to than a lot of the current Opening Theme Songs to animes current playing in Japan.

When it's good, it's real good, but when it's bad it's HORRIBLE. (God willing, the editing will be nipping and tucking the FLAB outta ep. 111 and on). That's what killed it for me; I need to check the manga instead.

Maybe they'll cut out entire arcs (OP) or episodes (DBGT. Funi only released 49 of the 64 eps originally, if I recall). :lol
 
When is Naruto going to start airing on CN?

I actually liked all but 1 of the Naruto themes. And the opening credits (animation) are all great, IMO. Why screw up a good thing?

Premieres Sept 10th on Toonami..

Cant you people just read the CN site =[
This is isamu we're talking about...
 
90% if not all of the music will probably be replaced, I'd be VERRRRRRRRRRY suprised if the opening/ending themes were kept intact. Viz is doing it, and they've already said they're going to have edited dvds separate from unedited DVDs. I expect the same sort of mangling that they did with Zatch Bell.

This close to air and I still haven't seen a cast list though, I'm suprised nothing has come out (unless I've missed it!)

90% of the music should actually be staying, according to all reports. Viz has said that most of the soundtrack will stay intact. OPs and EDs will probably change, though.

As for the cast, Steve Blum is playing Kakashi, and I think Naruto is supposedly being played by a relative unknown. Let me look it up, there might be more info than there was a while back.

...

Oh, there are a few new ones.

Sasuke is being played by Yuri Lowenthal (The Prince from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time)...apparently this guy is already cast as Renton in the English version of Eureka 7...I can't believe they've casted that already.

Hinata is being played by Stephanie Sheh (she's apparently only done a couple minor roles).

The Third Hokage is being played by Steve Kramer (who seems to have done lots of stuff, but usually as side characters, including several side characters in Cowboy Bebop like Whitney Matsumoto).

Ino is Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who is Suzy on Zatch Bell.

And that's it for now.

Wait what? Steve Blum is Kakashi?

maybe the voices won't be so bad after all...
 
I enjoyed Naruto when I was following the subs.... but I just didn't have time to keep up with it... I hope they stay fairly close to the story... this I can just TIVO and record at my leisure... somebody please reminds us as we get closer to the date so I can remember to set up a season pass for it....
 
Seeing as how it's up to episode 146 in Japan now, I'd imagine it will be about 3 years until it reaches that in the US....
