Naruto's voice was always weird for me. It was a little annoying in regular stuff, but actually was really good whenever it was time to get serious or make a speech about Sasuke and friendship.

It gets a lot better about twenty episodes in.

Tonight on Toonami, Bleach warps back 8 weeks, Seina meets up with Kiriko, the Cats try to save the Berbils, the war truly begins for the samurai and with grave consequences, the Galalunians find an adorable little alien (the tumblr swears it's this episode and not episode 11, so don't come blaming me if it's not Tashy tonight!), the Gekko lands in FAC-51 and Renton finds some strange things in its depths, the Elrics head out to Liore, Bebop goes back to the episodes we skipped over previously this time around, and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru finish their duel. But the big news of the night is the Adult Swim debut of the orange whirlwind himself, Uzumaki Naruto. Believe it!

12:30 - Naruto - 1 - Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!
1:00 - Tenchi Muyo! GXP - 4 - True Love, Truly Painful
1:30 - Thundercats - 9 - Berbils

2:30 - Sym-Bionic Titan - 9 - Tashy 497
3:00 - Eureka seveN - 16 - Opposite View
3:30 - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 3 - City of Heresy
4:00 - Cowboy Bebop - 11 - Toys in the Attic
4:30 - Cowboy Bebop - 12 - Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)

I've seen the first episode of Naruto at least half a dozen times but it's been a couple years since the last time. Really excited for tonight. :D

Not that anything is being spoiled in the last few posts, but be sure to be courteous and place spoiler tags accordingly!

I was actually debating whether to spoiler that post or not in case there was someone who still hasn't watched the show. I'll spoiler it just in case.

I haven't seen (most of) the show :<

I still knew that tidbit though, unfortunately. I'm still blank on the rest of the show at least...
 
First time seeing Naruto tonight. Please don't disappoint me

And for anyone that cares (and has Comcast), the final episode of Casshern Sins will no longer be OnDemand after Sunday so if you want to rewatch the episode one last time, it would be best to do it quickly

Anybody who saw it the first time either killed themselves or wanted to after it aired, doubt they'd rewatch it. :p

Naruto is very good. Only time it really drops in quality is when they start the onslaught of filler, but we won't have to worry about that for a while.

Porno episode? I don't remember a porn episode, I remember when
the guys try and help Renton bang Eureka
later on but not a porn episode.

I've always liked Naruto for the most part, some of Naruto's monologues are kinda silly though, when he activates his never give up powers ya know.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

As long as the Toonami staff ends it at Episode 135, we won't have to suffer through filler hell. Maybe start up Naruto Shippuden after that, I imagine they can get the rights in the 3 years it will take to get to that point. Especially since Disney is just sitting on them, doing nothing.

Part 1 Naruto is a really high quality shonen series most of the time. Very standard and straightforward, and it embraces an awful lot of tropes, but it's a top shelf example of the genre. It's no One Piece or Hunter X Hunter, sure, and it might not have any single arc executed quite as brilliantly as Bleach's Soul Society Arc, but it's good stuff.

It's just as you approach the end of Part 1 that it starts to bog down in its own unnecessary angstiness while Shippuuden is a whole other sort of clusterfuck entirely, and the manga is steeped with utter bullshit at this point as it's approaching the end. Thankfully, none of that will come for a good long time on Toonami's run.

Viz hasn't put up new (dubbed) eps in a while, but they did recently complete the 3rd Shippuden movie.

Does Disney XD even air the show anymore? Or do the eps just go up on Itunes and stuff?

I was going to say it was on Netflix Streaming, but apparently they took it down here in the last few weeks.

No, Disney has removed all traces of the show even happening. Not even reruns.

According to Wiki, they do still dub episodes. The next DVD boxset comes in January with Episodes 154-166.

It's gotten way to violent for the Disney channels. If Toonami can give them a decent offer I don't see why they wouldn't surrender the rights.

I thought Shippuden was pretty good when I watched it. It started off really slow, but when it picked up, it was good. Granted, I don't know how it turned out. I watched up to 130 and the Japanese dub is almost 300 episodes in.

Where did the dub stop anyway...

EDIT: Oh yes
It's at the point where they have to decipher Jiraiya's message to what out what Pein is, and Sasuke recently "joined" the Akatsuke

I agree, I didn't really like how Shippuden started, but I really got into it during the Hidan/Kakuzu arc and was for the most part enjoyable since.

I think they stopped before the Shikamaru as Batman arc. That arc is just WAY too violent for anyone outside of [AS] or current Toonami to show.

EDIT: They showed that bit on Disney? Damn son.

I thought that arc was really awesome. Shippuden had the most emotional heights in the series.

I think the Zabuza arc is really quite something.

No fricking way. There can only be one other Batman:

Quite excited for Toonami tonight. Been forever since I've seen pt 1 Naruto and I'm so ready. I wonder what are the chances of Disney giving it up and toonami being able to show Shippuden, assuming Toonami goes on long enough.

I also have to say I've liked the last several weeks of Samurai 7. It really started to drag around episode 6-12 or so but I've enjoyed it lately. I hope it can stay interesting.

Heh, found this looking through the Toonami TVTropes page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONtEYSrLZkM Seems they were really proud of Naruto back then.

Damn!! I remember it all. Naruto followed by Naruto marathon, lol. but yeah, I remember when naruto had a marathon literally every month, sometimes being holiday marathons, and it led up to the Naruto Hondo marathon. Man, Good times. I watched the shit out of it.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMahQG2O07Y Aww Yeah!! I sat through that weekend with a case of amazon grape and watermelon and pizza. lol
