    You were gonna have to face it sooner or later: Naruto's a kid's show.

    Nice shirt though!

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Heheh, yeah naruto's a kids show, reminds me of a little story from this past summer.

    okay so me and my buddy are standing in line for register for otakon. He's dressed like itachi, a little girl behind him whose only seen the dubbed episodes aired on cartoon network asks him.

    Girl: who are you supposed to be?

    Friend: I'm sasuke's brother.

    Girl: Sasuke has a brother?

    Friend: Yeah.

    Girl: Oh that's cool, so what does he do?

    Friend: He kills his entire family.

    Girl: Why!!! Why does he do that?

    Friend: because he felt like it.

    After that the little girl was silent for the next ten minutes.

    LOL... Speaking of which, what is CN going to do when they reach those eps? I doubt they will remain intact, all the little kiddies will go crying to their mommies about it.

    ...Have you even been watching Naruto on Cartoon Network? Sasuke's already mentioned how he has to kill "that man" and avenge the death of his clan several times.

    It's not fucking One Piece, for Christ's sake. I love all these generalizations people keep throwing around about dubbed anime on American television when they don't even know what they're talking about.

    @LobsterMagnet: You can deny it up and down, and throw in as many "dark" and "adult" elements you want to (I won't argue that Naruto is full of them), but in the end, it's a show marketed towards preteen kids. That doesn't mean it's still not enjoyable to other audiences, however.

    Fanboys will be fanboys, I suppose...

    Edit: and on topic, today I saw a guy walking around on campus in an Itachi head protector. I laughed at him.

    I'm just curious........ how many of you guys actually buy the manga/DVDs?

    I buy the english manga. Not the DVDs.

    And probably will re-start buying the manga since its getting published in Mexico beginning this month. Montly Volumes, contrary to VIZ's volume once every 4 months.

    i suppose im not really as obsessed with naruto as i used to be, the 2 year gap kinda helped with that

    but i spose the furthest ive got is sasuke as my background on myspace, lol

    considered getting the tattoo kakashi has on his arm for about a week, then thought it was a bad idea

    ....so i got a metallica ninja star instead :P

    Cool shirt, where did you get it? Please say at a hot topic since I know where one is.

    Also I suck at Naruto obsession I only have Naruto Ultimate Ninja for PS2 where I gave up trying to become a Jounin and the Sakura patch that came with the game.

    No I don't deny that ultimately naruto is a kid's show as the rule of thumb goes for most shonen animes.

    But other more mature themes that occasionaly appear in the series is always what's kept me hooked. At their core most shounen anime are the same, but generally it's style and form that helps separate certain series apart. Plus it seems that in Japanese television at least their properties aren't censored and they seem to get away with alot more challenging material then what's present on american tv.

    So the prospect of seeing such momments like Garra's, and Sauske's are things I'm looking forward to seeing adapted for a rather naive american audience. It amuses me.

    Oh I wonder if the Kakashi's crucification via mangekyou sharingan will make the cut?

    One thing I was pleased to see though is that naruto usually rated TV PG, as opposed to TV Y7 with the little FV under it. It dosen't make it a completely mature show that's not targeted towards children, but it does give a bit more weight then something like yu-gi-oh.

    This is one of the first threads I posted in when I joined the forum, if I remember correctly. That was quite the thread resurrection there.

    I have to say that my enthusiasm for Naruto is significantly less than the last time I posted here. I haven't watched an episode in more than a year. The fillers were just too much for me, so I quit wasting my harddrive space. I did make an Anbu mask last year for halloween though. It turned out really well, too! I made it out of plaster, so it was pretty heavy. Next time I might just invest in some plastic to save myself a lot of trouble.

    At least you'll have a nice scroll to roll up in when you're sleeping in the park
