Holy cow! Saw the title change and thought it was the new thread for a moment but when it wasn't I knew something was up. I'm actually going to miss the rewatch of Naruto with gaf but eh, Shippuden. I can't believe they managed to get that from Disney. Good Space Dandy news as well. There's no stopping Toonami lately. Congrats to them.
YES! My favorite Naruto opening

Nothing stops this space ship.
Considering the timing and the fact disney hasn't aired shippuden in years I'm guessing it just expired at the end of 2013.

Wait, we're skipping the good arcs of Naruto for all of the shitty ones?
While you're not wrong it does even out by skipping almost two years of awful Naruto in exchange for a year and change of...well, the best of Naruto.
I'd actually wanna the rest of Naruto original as well, but I just wanted to use that Gif

You don't announce acquisition rights when another channel's contract is still on going. Shippuden originally aired Oct. 28th, 2009, so the Disney contract was most likely for 4 years and ended last week.
Also it looks like Disney just took down all their Naruto Shippuden pages.
They were never going to air that. It was all a bluff.

Another nice pickup, and in my opinion, your front-runner to slide up to midnight when Bleach ends.
Though right now a premiere** line up for Space Dandy / Bleach / Shippuden / One Piece / Soul Eater / Sword Art Online is pretty good for a Saturday night action cartoon programming block in 2014.

Best opening of anything ever. I'd rather not have the memory of that glorious opening sullied by the likes of Viz.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
It aired in full and completely unadulterated the last time it was on CN and on the dvds/various streaming services.

My favorite Shippuden opening, cheesy English and all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fabOi61Fq-k
Corresponds to my favorite arc of course.

Shippuden is like 90% flashback anyway.
I could have sworn at one point they had a flashback within a flashback.

Good point. You're probably right. Still looks like it would have caused quite a bit money whoever they would have to pay (would it be Viz?), or maybe at this point, VIz is just looking for anyway possible to get Naruto Shippuden out there. Why not Toonami where part 1 took off in the US?
Lol. I really want to know where this is from.

I wouldn't recommend watching the rest of the video. Zack Ryder tries too hard to be funny.
Even the manga had awful pacing in the beginning. The first arc has a compelling story but it just takes too damn long to get going.
I bet Shippuden Kai could do those 30 plus episodes in eight to ten weeks.
EDIT: To be honest I expected it to be a five year deal and for them to burn off the remaining non filler naruto by running two a week in 2014 before getting Shippuden this time next year.

so, which arc are you suggesting we watch again?
Those things do not exist yet.
DBZ Kai is pretty much perfect pacing wise. The only thing that feels like it takes too much time is Goku landing on Namek and even that is a great deal shorter by the time Ginyu gets involved.
Brotherhood before it splits from the first anime is the only time I can think of where a show redoing old events might just be moving too damn fast.

So if Naruto is ending on the 30th, and assuming Space Dandy is beginning on Jan 4th , that still leaves 1 random Dec. saturday with no Naruto. Unless Toonami says fuck it and has expanded movie night to 4 nights.

seen like 2 episodes of shippuden.
good new indeed

It might also be three movie nights and then a marathon of something on the 28th. Though I guess from this announcement that it's not going to be a best of Naruto night.

I'm just going to watch it all again. Which is something I did four years ago when I was completely bed ridden during Thanksgiving weekend. Of course I'll skip everything already shown on Toonami, though I might watch some of my favorite bits from the filler seasons.

you should watch rozen maiden 2013, they basically brotherhood it....except they did it so hard they pretty much made the 1st episode a recap episode with it ending on new material from the manga, they advertised it as a remake, but it really isnt lol
Knew exactly what opening it would be before clicking. Loved the return to the dynamic openings that changed as the arcs went on and things changed.

ugh I hated that opening, the annimation is nice, though not totally great(got better when they changed it to version 2) but the song is awful imo

Hulu has Naruto subbed, not dubbed. Better than nothing I suppose
It has Shippuden and Rock Lee SD as well, and I prefer the sub anyway. Don't mind the dub.
Viz is awful on this. All of their digital streaming stuff that I can remember has been sub only. Funimation has both more times than not, with the default for dub when it has both but the streamer doesn't support it.
It's actually why I didn't bother catching up on Inuyasha a few years back when it was on Netflix, I need demAmerican Mostly Canadian voices in my ears.

They stopped saying "3 movie nights" a while ago and keep saying "a month of movies". I'm really starting to think that all these new announcements made them change plans. So I'm expecting 4 movie nights, especially since Demarco keeps avoiding the issue on twitter.
