Naruto

For those of ye who dont know Naruto is airing on Jetix everyday aparently.

Dont have the chanel so I dont know what time but they did have adds for it on Cartoon Network

Maddzy

Yea, it started showing yesterday (22nd). I didn't see it myself, although I do have the channel (I've never watched it though).
I think it shows Saturday and Sundays at 8pm.
Heres the official thingy: http://www.jetix.co.uk/fktv/shows/0,6248,30908,00.html

Edit: The website says Saturday and Sunday but the ad on the channel itself says everyday, so must be everyday.

I watched half the episode today, and as expected it is quite edited, but there was the appearence of some Sexy Jutsu! Which I didn't expect to see on a channel like Jetix. It was only breif though.

Aparently editing will include shurikuns, the word "kill", reference to smoking and most of the violence.

Naruto is great but accompanied with the terrible english dubs, it begs the question of why watch the damn thing at all?
Gimme the jap voices with subs and violence anyday of the week.

I agree, there is no reason why any self respecting anime fan will watch the chopped up Naruto shown on Jetix. But at least it opens the show up to a new audience. I just wish the dubbing wasn't so terrible.

I watched it this evening.... Naruto's voice is done by a woman with a horrible raspy voice... it's terrible.

And they cut out the nose bleeds!

Maddzy

Yea, I doubt you'll see any blood at all to be honest.

Very very silly

Saw a bit of an episode the other day :eek: Scary just how different it is. Wonder how Ero-senin(sp) is going to be portrayed. I doubt that they are going to translate his name quite right. If they won't show blood they arn't going to start calling people perverted hermit

Has anyone seen an english bud of bleach? now that would be strange if they edited the blood

Maddzy

Bleach would certainly get a late night slot if they showed it over here. Unless it was ridiculously edited.

monkeyfudge

Colour correct the blood so that it is white soul society spirit power leaking out.

Hmmm. I reckon the concept of blood oozing out would hold steadfast even with colour correction.
Its a shame that they have to tamper with anime and try to sell it to the younger kids here. All they do is drag it through the dirt and fluff it up, leaving one with an anime that even children regard as childish. It creates a bad image for anime and does nothing but destroy a possible fanbase.
If i were ever to see bleach without violence i think id cry.:(

Maddzy

Yea, I agree, its a shame anime gets such an image here, Pokemon went and ruined everything. If the TV peeps over here realised that if they presented anime with the same kind of attitude as with shows like Buffy, aimed at a 16 - 25 age group, they'd not only make a fortune but also make lots of people happy. Of course, this probably wouldn't work with shows like Naruto and Bleach, but stuff like Ergo Proxy and Stand Alone Complex would certainly work like that.

After the insane success of The Matrix, a movie that was pretty much based on anime, you'd think they'd get the picture.

With shows like Naruto and Bleach I'm not surprised they get so censored over here. The kids in this part of the world, as in America, are far more immature then Japanese and other Asian kids, so it has to be dimmed down for them. Weather we like it or not, Naruto is a kids show, and will be presented as such whereever its shown.

aww

carbonkid

Is it really watched in Japan as a kids show? Yea i know the characters in the show are really young but i would of thought it was far too slow paced and emotional to keep their interest. Damn it its not a kids show >_<

Maddzy

lmao of course its a kid's show. Well, young teenagers at least. Its shonen, its target audience in Japan is 10 - 15 year olds.

This thing you're experiencing is called Culture Shock :P

Art_Wolf

Hah

still waiting for it to get good though :P

Maddzy

To be honest I find it hard to tolerate shonen anime myself...

Rei-chan

I've watched it, but I only do it to like, shout at the TV. I correct the way they say they names. They say Kakashi like 'Kawkawshe' It's like...Omgwtfbbq.
I think the only name they say right is Sasuke...Cause that's easy.
And they don't explain stuff very well...at all. Plus kakashi sounds like a total fag.
It's so ghey. I can't watch it, cause it gets me angry.

tman

Just out of interest, have they translated "Dattebayo" as "Believe it"?
Hearing that at the end of every second sentence from Naruto would do my nut in:p

monkeyfudge

oh.. yes... that's like his new cool catch phrase.

Maddzy

I think its translated as "Ya know?" in the dub, and he doesn't say it nearly as much as in the original Japanese.

Edit: Oh wait, he does say "Believe it" aswell. Maybe they mixed and matched. As far as I know "Dattebayo" isn't really a word that can be translated to English, its just part of Naruto's Japanese dialect.

Rei-chan

Yeah, that's really annoying... Pfft, fags.

awhir

anyone reading the manga

cant wait to see what naruto can do with the wind justu

I will not let Sasuke beat me, BELIEVE IT!

It's so bad it's not even funny. The only voice they have anyway somewhat similar is Hinata (jumped ahead a few episodes on youtube to see what it was like). The voice actors are bad. Gaara has quite possibly the most miscast voice in it.

Kawkawshe Hawtawkay the copy ninja, with the power of sharrr-ing-gon. BELIEVE IT!

Current rumours speculate that the Kakashi Gaiden arc is set to begin at around episode 200. Which ties in nicely with me coming to the end of the fillers (found it hard to watch them with as much entusiasim as episodes 1-136!).

Just incase the rumours are untrue, here is something with a little more substance.

I was wondering if perhaps you Anime Guru's can answer a burning question of mine. If there is a manga released each week, and an Anime. Why do they need to delay the Anime story with filler? Surly now with the manga a whole year ahead they would never need to fill again.... or am I thinking about this too simplistically? Most likely the artists don't just do each episode week by week and this is the reason?

GK¦ Ixion²

Cos the Naruto manga itself only gets a piece of a full manga. Its really only a small part of a compilation of manga's.
As such the weekly release of the manga doesnt tell nearly as much storyline as a weekly release of an anime episode and the anime started to catch up. Hence they stalled to let the manga take a leap forward.
Otherwise they would have run out of main storyline material and hence lost their primetime place on japaneese television(one which is very sought after and would be nigh bloody painfull to get back again).

As explained to me by a m8 of mine and currently my understanding of the situation(even tho i dont read the manga):cool:

Smellyirishman

I see, that would explain it. Many thanks.

carbonkid

Im just starting into the filter eps now

human

Its made up. The word doesn't exist in japanese except when Naruto says it.

Makaveli

Is it just me or did the characters get a growth spurt between episodes 196 and 197? Naruto looks older (well bigger maybe not older).

Cosine

196?

Jebus I'm way back. Gave up about 175 and was going to wait till the filler ended, never realised it had been so long :eek:

Just had a look at 197 last night... I don't notice any huge difference... but they might be laying the ground work for the 2 and a half year growth spurt that will happen when they finally leave the filler.

197 seems to be setting up yet another filler arc... boo...

Makaveli

Most filler arcs tend to only run for three or four episodes though. Hopefully it will all come to an end soon. It's ridiculous, the filler has been running longer than most other series.

OniTenshi

According to narutofan.com episode 200 marks the beginning of the Kakashi Gaiden arc which runs for 4 episodes I believe. The episode titles are: Konoha's Yellow Flash Appears!, Kakashi Gaiden Starts!!!!!, Kakashi Break Down! The Sharingan Awakens, and finally End of Kakashi Gaiden. After this the new arc is supposed to begin. Again only rumours but as far as they can tell it seems pretty genuine. So only filler till 200 hopefully. I'm looking forward to seeing the Kakashi Gaiden arc myself, I enjoyed it in the manga.

neoB

why oh why did I bother to start watching it?? I am so hooked,staying up hours getting no sleep watching episode after episode.. and I am so sick of the bs episodes! Why does it take ages for a battle, its like dbz.. but good gosh naruto owns . Damn you filler eps, damn the lot of you!!

Art_Wolf

CHeck out the menga - it is excellent

The Kakashi flashback is very cool

awhir

ya manga is good.

and also is the blech filler over yet ??

Makaveli

No, but

they have entered Soul Society and are fighting there

.
To be honest, the Bleach filler arc is so much better than the Naruto stuff because of the continuity. The Bounts are pretty lame but it's interesting enough to keep me watching.

Exactly, and since this arc has all the rookies it would be a decent ending to the filler!

Polished off 185-197 over the weekend so I am all prepped and ready! Although it did create time to enjoy the absolute brilliance that is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

bongo13

I am on episode like..80 ish where theyre looking for tsunade. I only started 2 weeks ago. I know a great site for anime though.. its sort of like youtube exept with anime episodes :P

monkeyfudge

I'm playing Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 on the Gamecube at the moment.... It's a lot of fun. You can have 4 player battles and there is a huge amount of characters to choose from all with their own special moves.

Makaveli

Beat em up? Do you need a freeloader or equivalent to play imports on a GC?

Yep. It's a beat 'em' up. It's easy to play as well... very simple to master all the moves.

And yes, you need Freeloader or Action Replay discs to run import games.

This is the latest of the Naruto games and follows the story up as far as Naruto and Sasukes battle at the waterfall. The amount of unlockable characters is unreal though... you can even play as Akamaru on his own.

I'll be sure to bring it along to Eirtakon.
