yes yes yes, we are all aware of the blasphemy that is at hand with Naruto and Toonami.
So now that the dreadful day has come and gone, who watched it?
what did you think of it?
I actually thought it wasn't that bad. They could have slaughtered it alot more than they did. Yes, some of the voices were bad, yes they didnt make the noses bleed to sexy no jutsu, but overall, it wasn't all too bad.
so what did you guys think?

I will watch it later on today
MST3K it
and have fun! :D
ehehehe. I missed it..... ~shrug~ Did they butcher the names already? I'm afraid to look next week to see what they did to it....
I watched it
and
it
was
hilariously BAD.
LOL INTERNET
First off, note that I will be biased one way or another because I am a BIG seiyuu fan.
Voices = crap. I didn't think they fit at all, except maaaaaaaaybe Konohamaru and Ebisu. Pronunciation = HORRIBLE. And OMG, even CN's Tom pronounces it "nuh-ROO-toe." *dies* mee-ZOO-kee, ee-ROO-kuh, etc, etc. Come on! It ain't that hard to pronounce them correctly.... .-_- I absolutely hate it when they emphasize the second syllable.
Other than the voicing (bring back the original seiyuu!), it wasn't too bad. The translation was left relatively intact and censoring was kept down to a minimal, though Sexy no Jutsu just doesn't have the same effect without those long trails of blood. =.\
Now watch America's youth population yell out, "Hey! It's my turn to be nuh-ROO-toe!! I am a ninja!" .~_~
I thought the voices were utterly horrible. I am still in shock.
the dub is ok to me i enjoyed wtaching it, but like if you dont like it dont watch it ya know? then again i never really cared about anime if it was a sub or a dub.
i read quite a bit of the manga and liked that, but it's nice to see it animated even if it does have icky voice actors.
I thought the dub was ok. Didn't make me change the channel. Could it be better? Of course, but I've seen or heard worse dubs.
I didn't like it. :? They change the original songs into their own 'guiltar' song. I thought the dub sound weird like Naruto sounds like a witch when he laughs.. all raspy.. x__x
intro and ending songs sucked, too many spoilers in them too. Voice were okay, just sounded weird since i'm not used to it. No nose bleeds was weird especial when the come back with toilet paper up their nose for no reason. Some names were said weird. Some of the dialog was awkward. I hated the trailers! "Who will rule the school!"
I saw it the dubbing sucks and the Intro and the ending sucks so bad lol, and I refuse to watch it now.

Now remember US main channel liscencers, whenever you get a new series, JAPANESE IS TEH SATAN. Rap and Hop are cool, so pull some random action scenes and play that fo shieezy tune.
Naruto is a best fighter@!
~Chun
i personally dont care for naruto, but my friend does. she said that *big surprise* CN butchered it. meh...just another reason to NOT get involved in it
I've only seen an episode or three of a later season of Naruto and didn't see what all the fuss was about, frankly. But after watching the heavily slaughtered CN version, I want to see the first season of Naruto! ^_^ The CN version was mildly entertaining, so the original must be great! ^.~ Perhaps I'll become a Narutard after all?
the dubbing was amusing. cant wait for this saturdays episode. Guess what technique they will show. Ill give you a hint
"Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu"
ayaaaa the translations...
I've been watching it, but I'm two weeks behind right now. It's not as good as the original, but it's one of the better dubs I've seen. I'm a sub person, myself, so me saying this with a series I like so much is... well, it's big. Of the voices I've heard so far, Chouji's is the hands-down WORST. The others, it's just little things. The pronounciation isn't so bad, but that's probably becuase I was expecting it to be like that. The Oiroke was messed up because of the lack of blood, and I was pretty annoyed about the intro/outro thing, and they cut a scene somewhere--I don't remamber where, anymore--but it wasn't as bad as I expected.
Then again, since 4Kids and One Piece, EVERYTHING is going to be better than I expected...
They...killed...Wind... :(
at first it really sucked but its actualy getting better :-({|=
Quote from: Itachi no JutsuThey...killed...Wind... :(
What is this Wind you talk about? :o
How can you kill something that isn't even there? :(
The dub is OK but at least it isn't as shitty as the One Piece dub :(. I was very disapointed that they didn't use the OP/ED animation since the music is awesome.
Not to mention that the OP/ED has a fair amount of spoilerage if you look closely.
Well perhaps one of the most contraversial characters was on the show last weekend- Haku. I thought they did an -ok- job of dubbing him, though I must say there's nothing in comparison to the raw. They didn't alter Haku and turn him into a she (as Kakashi refers to him as a he). It is most obvious that the VA is a female (and if it isn't I apologize for the assumption).
Over all, with Naruto as an old lady, mispronounciations galore and odd songs for openign and closings, the dub isn't up to par so far.
(BTW, anyone notice that they took Wind out when Wind is actually in english? I thought they could have kept Wind at least..)
They did keep the names and for that I am grateful, but so help me god, if Gaara is a nasaly voiced otaku I will cry my eyes out.
Songs, everyone has given their two cents.
I'm not too crazy about the 1st one...but seriously, by the time of the second, they should just put it. Even if just once. I think these poor American children who know nothing of internet downloads are being deprived...
I'm not going to talk about voices, just can't help the biasness.
i heard there were going to name oroshimaru toby. or tony. or something like that.
hopefully, its just a rumour.
eh. yeah, dubs always suck. i don't think there was ever an ok one. i couldn't watch it for another 5 minutes. :shock: omg. jootsoo-jutsu. ho-ka-gay - hokage. it makes me cry. and all these other mistakes... i stopped watching it, cuz i didn't want to ruin my image of naruto. they make his voice so raspy (even tho it's a female voice actor...)
>.< OMG, I don't even wanna hear "American-voiced" Itachi... my ears will start bleeding from the shame of it...
I thought the dub was great :D They're trying really hard to keep the original intact!
Visual editing (i.e. lack of blood) is most likely attributable to Cartoon Network, not the dubbers :P And CN probably couldn't/didn't buy the rights to use the op/ed songs... (sad ;_;)
Haha, I don't even have Cartoon Network here... =_= yet I still manage to watch it. Ahh the magic of intarnet.
Saw the re-issues of Naruto manga "with free bookmark" at Borders. Naruto is already eight bucks per volume, 20% cheaper than most manga.
Your choice: blasphemy or lower prices.
Cedric.
aka. Washu! ^O^
i don't like it...it seems more boring...less funny. Since the VA's do in diferent rooms, sometimes they pronouce things differently...i seen in some anime only one character would pronounce another character's name differently...
At least its clone jutsu and not doppleganger...
Everytime Naruto says "Believe it!" i get hella pissed...it just sounds so gay...
i doubt that they couldnt get the rights to the songs...they have plenty of anime with songs intact. They wanted to americanize it... i remember reading that somewhere...they said they were going to keep most of the music...character music and background stuff. The songs they put in are lame...i'll look for where i read that stuff about music and edit it in later.
There are way too many spoilers in the intro and ending!
I wach it and like it but I'm only...so I've never seen any thing els
I saw it and thought they f***ed it up with all the f***ing crappy @$$ voice actors and they edited all the good stuff out.
I'd liek to see how they're gonna pull off Haku and Zabuza... if they make it plutonic I'm gonna die.
