I maybe a bit ignorant on this bit, but do TVs in the U.S have Dual Sound? Because where I'm from, most of the anime on TV have 2 sound channels, one in the original Japanese and the other in English/Mandarin, so we can choose which language we'd prefer and pick accordingly. Personally I'd always listen to the Jap version as they always sound better. Almost all of the animes shown on TV have subtitles. Same thing with all other Japanese/Korean drama serials.

Cartoon Network is shit they should stick it on toonami ! they should of kept toonami as CNX it sounded better
EDIT: fine, w.e
Itachi_y2k5, either spell out the entire word, or don't say it at all. Censoring out a word with a bunch of asterisks is retarded.
i think the big question should be, how or even, are, they going to translate dattebayo for the dubbing?
every time that naruto says that, will he say "seriously, dude!" instead? seems to be a good fit, but would be akward.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
His sentences will be longer in English. The character have very generic mouth movements so lengthening his sentences a word or two won't be hard.
I thought toonami was apart of CN? Atleast it was, wasn't it?
Yea, It is/and still part of CN. I still say it would have been better to put it in Adult Swim. Maybe then, the anime won't be raped.Originally posted by: Sam98034

Who fucking cares I'm never going to watch it on american t.v. networks any way, and if any of you do you should be ashamed of yourself.
If you think "Thousand Birds" sounds gay, realize that to Japanese speakers Chidori probably sounds gay.
it will be gay on toonami.
Perhaps they should do it like Kenshin... I mean they kept the original attack names in that right?
Yeah...but most of them were horribly butchered.
I have haunting memories of English VAs verbally raping the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki.
But otherwise I really liked the dub of Kenshin. I was actually hoping bang zoom would dub Naruto...
Too bad I guess.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
It will not be on Adult Swim.... For the following link, its third-party but I have seen it on a Cartoon Network Press Release and it says the same exact thing....

On Monday, Feb. 21, Cartoon Network will launch a national healthy lifestyles initiative targeted to kids 6-14 entitled GET ANIMATED, a comprehensive on-air, online, print and off-channel campaign. The branded program will tap the networks roster of original cartoon characters and distinctive 3D on-air environment to communicate positive lifestyle messages through multiple PSAs to air in Cartoon Networks morning, afternoon and prime time dayparts.

Naruto: Twelve years ago, a nasty demon decimated a village but was contained in a baby who is now a student at a ninja academy. But this antisocial boy does not know that he is possessed. As he evolves as a ninja, his inner demon gives him more and more powers. To become a master ninja, he must learn to control his powers without destroying those around him. The series is scheduled to air in third quarter.
One of my favorite things about Naruto is the music.... Ill just sit here and wait for the gay rap music T_T
(HI! 1st post! )
I definately believe that the Americans are going to perform major changes on Naruto. The music is one thing, the names the other etc etc.
However I think what other countries are going to do to it once they obtain it as well. For example in Greece, where I live, they consider anime to be just for kids and they call it cartoon. And if a certain channel I know of obtains Naruto they are going to rape it 1,000 times more than the Americans! Firstly they are probably going to take an original song like Haruka Kanata or GO!!! and turn it into Greek, so it's going to be sth like " Oh! Naruto we love you, you and your friends fight evil, for love, you have good friends, bad guys are afraid of you" etc etc (goes to a corner and throws up)
I mean they did that to One Piece which has been airing there since 2002 (2 years prior to America). Not to mention that they will surely change almost all of the names of the major characters in order to sound appealing to Greek kids. (Ex. In One Piece: Luffy->Drake, Nami->Bonnie, Zoro->Blackjack, Usopp->Gus). Imagine Naruto being named Jack or Ninja Boy... @_@ And Kakashi turning into Harry... Sakura...Suzy and Sasuke...Mark!..............
Of coursethe title changes to sth like "Ninja Village" "the Ninja Hero" and other crappy names they usually put. (For One Piece it was "Drake and the Lost Treasure Hunt")
(Should I also mention that they ALWAYS cut the program to put childrens' songs like "I learn the colours, the numbers, the letters. And CANDY GIRLS!!!! WaaaaaaaH!)
So you should be content they are not making THAT major changes. -__-
That sounds so bad if I were there I'd rather not get Naruto at all....... Some how I feel that more countries are regconising that anime isn't just cartoons anymore though. I always correct my friends when they refer to an anime as a cartoon.

Yeah! I do that too. My friends understand, some of them watch anime as well. But when my grandma says "What are you watching? That stuff is for little kids" it just gets on my nerves and I usually reply: "No it's not! Do you want me to show you one with murders and blood or one where the characters are having sex?" She gets shocked and forget it until next time. ^_^
I did an essay on the relationship between cartoons and anime for my creative writing class. Got a 96 on it. I get what you're sayin. Damn, that sucks about the Greek One Peice. Anyway...
Here's what I don't think will happen to Naruto on CN
1. Name changes
2. Music Changes
3. Major changes to characters (Haku being a girl)
Here's what probably will happen
1. Minor edits due to violence/length
2. Technique name changes (ex: lightning edge, art of the doppleganger *puke*, etc)
3. A dub that no one will like
Because the series was licensed by ShoPro, that means there's a large chance of it getting dubbed by the Ocean Group. Besides series like Hamtaro and Zoids, their mature anime (Inuyasha, and now Zatch Bell) has pretty much been "unraped". 4Kids has NOT licensed Naruto. 4Kids is responsible for Americanizing anime (like One Peice, Shaman King, Yugioh, etc), and completely changing stuff because they feel their target audience is children. So far, ShoPro has not given any signs that this will happen to Naruto. I feel that they will deliver the show in the most untainted quality they can, save for the changes I mentioned. Now that will suck. The actual quality of the dub, however, is something we're gonna have to deal with. Honestly I can't see any of the Ocean Group voices being anyone on Naruto.

i sooooo agree. an anime is animated and made for tv, movies, video or just entertainment in general. do try to seperate anime from cartoons or manga from comics... it only makes you like a leetist dick. unless you, psyke, can tell me what an anime can do that a cartoon cant, you cant say that an anime isnt a cartoonOriginally posted by: Y The Alien

Anime to many countries and people now stand as a genre on it's own. Even department stores selling VCDs/DVDs have their own dedicated anime sections which are different from the cartoon section which is obviously full of kiddy stuff like Disney/Warner Bros. To me the Matrix spinoff the "Animatrix" helped a lot of people to realise that anime is not only for kids, and how big the anime franchise is internationally.
Sure there are people who cannot see the difference and anything animated to them is a cartoon or show for kids, but we of course know better.
