Huh? Lets review the last arc, we had about 20 episodes of fighting and very little comedy.

What of the Tsunade arc? (Skipping the filler arc as the filler should not determine the mindset of the series as the creator did not make them) We had a major fight something like 5 episodes long and though comedy was used to lighten the mood sometimes it was not the major focus. Also all Naruto's training in that arc wasn't very funny, at least to me.

Next the Chuunin exam, some comedy, vast amounts more of action. The arc before that? Country of the Wave, usual comedy to lighten the mood occasionally, with a strong focus on the fights with Zabuza.

I left a few parts but the vast majority of this series is based around the action and has comedy interjected occasionally. If you are looking for a moral comedy in Naruto, I suggest waiting for filler arcs because that is all the anime's "writers" seem to want to do. I will secede that there is a lot of issues of morality that are the focus of some characters but I don't understand saying that they were wrong in marketing Naruto as an action anime.

Wow, there's a whole lot of stupid in this thread. A lot of really long-winded stupid, at that.

The only promos that matter are the ones that will come in August, which will actually have dubbed voicework in them. The music in the promos NEVER MATTER, because the music in the promos is stuff the network puts in for their own purposes, that has bugger-all to do with the music in the actual show. And, of course, the Toonami announcer's pronunciation of the name Naruto means absolutely nothing. Maybe someone will correct him for the next round of promos, who knows. It's like that one guy they had who could never pronounce Pokemon right.

As for everyone bashing the hell out of the dub before even one episode is shown...grow up. Sheesh. If you don't want to see Naruto dubbed, then don't watch it, but at least wait until it comes out before you start ranting about how bad it's going to suck. Simple fact: YOU DO NOT KNOW UNTIL YOU SEE IT. For all YOU know, it MAY end up being the BEST FREAKING DUB EVER.

I'm pretty sure it WON'T, mind. But that's something we won't know for certain until September.

So chill.

And I know it's asking too much of this lot, but some of you could at least TRY to not be such complete morons.

I suppose this falls into the same catagory as the fight I have with my friends on 'Why we should like The Matrix?'

The way I see it, Naruto is about a boy and his hardships because of the difficult circumstances he is put in - sure, there is fighting, but that's not what it's ABOUT. The Naruto Anime (and Manga) isn't trying to tell you that we should all solve our problems by summoning giant frogs an snakes and wreaking havok among our friends because they aren't very nice, it's about Naruto (funily enough) and his trials and hardships. The fights have a PURPOSE, people don't just go around beating up on other people for the hell of it, even the bad-guys have a notive, unlike many other stories I could mention...

Point: What I disagree with, is that this never gets a mention in the so-called advertsment, that ad. basically said, "Wanna see animated, flashy effects from Japan!? Well, watch this show. It's popular over there so it should be here too!"

I am aware this is just a teaser, but why don't they just cut out the narrator and have the saem random scenes thrown together, it's be just as effective and a less innaccurate portrayal of the storyline (in the event that the Dubb BECOMES based on all the fighting, I'll be sorely dissapointed.)

Well we know Tom can pronounce things correctly. (note to how he pronounced Katamari Damacy)

I guess we're in luck then, because Tom is voiced by Steven Blum.

WTF? The third quarter of the year would be July to September. September to December isn't even a quarter. Did you fail primary school maths?

[Assertn]

oh god......they have bobobo too?

[AtHRunOwNZaLL]

i think some ppl will hate how naruto is pronounced but eventually accept it cuz when i first saw gundam seed dubbed i hated how they pronounced athrun but later i just accepted it

[XanBcoo]

Yeah, for the most part, bad pronounciation is damn annoying. But it's pretty easy to get over if you stop complaining about it.
Just don't start mispronouncing it yourself, ;p

Anyone else say "naRUto" and not "NAruto"?? It's how the name was introduced to me and I've never been able to break the habbit.

I hope we get some decent promo's now that the show's in the process of being dubbed.

That's creepy, scary, and kinda funny all at the same time, especially if you pull off the voice. Plus, your face would be all red from drinking so you don't have to worry about the blushing effect. ::shudder::
