Kame brings up several good points. the anime industry with in america has been getting better with translations, dvd releases, number of eps per DVD and the prices of the dvds. Fuck I remeber before we had dvd's, back in the good old days of VHS. when I bought Eva is spend about 24 dollars for the dub tapes and 28 dollars fro the sub and thas was for only two ep's, thats 350 dollars for all 13 tapes(I would know becasue I have them all.). For the same price your get three to five ep's, a dub and sub track, and extra features. Naruto will be liscensed, hopefully by funimation. I can't wait for that, then everyone in the US will get to enjoy the series as much as i do.
