It's a sad..... sad.... day for anime lovers. Prepare to see one of the best anime shows ever made... get butchered beyond belief.

Not funimation. ShoPro. (ShoPro does Inuyasha, Megaman NT Warrior, to name just two)

and Naruto is really, REALLY far from being one of the best animes.

Naruto is a kids show in japan, it'll be made into a kid's show in the US. it's not really a big deal.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

That may be your opinion Mr. Valkysis, however....

If Naruto wasn't that great of an anime, why did it's torrents get over 4000 dowloads daily? (Just a rough sum, it most likely got a whole lot more.) Nevertheless, we are left with Shikimaru in the forest fighting off 3 gigantic summoned beasts, Kiba about to die and Naruto facing Mr. Bone. And to see it we gotta wait until.... And even so we'll probably get a destroyed version.

Toonami.... worst thing ever made.

If Britney Spears isn't a prodigal musician, why do millions of people buy all of her vapid albums?

People are stupid. Naruto is a mediocre anime.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

I think the show is you know...cute when they're like training and stuff in the school...

It's pretty kid oreinted looking to me.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

I find it hilarious that so many people are acting like this is some horrible tragedy. they'll still be able to watch the show as they always have. the fansub group isnt stopping. ShoPro has never stopped a fansub project of one of their shows.

so what exactly is so horrible about this?

Mr. Valkysis

Way to spell a name wrong when it's literally right in front of you.

And yes, Naruto is mediocre at best.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

Naruto was great, until they started turning battles into crappity crap crap by extending the dialogue to over half the show.

And cutting off each episode at cliffhanger moments. I hate that.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

I somehow doubt that Naruto is worth all this fussing.

sounds like the creative team wasnt happy with just being a slight ripoff of DBZ, and they're going all the way now.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

Well mostly because Fansub groups take the downloads down once an anime gets liscensed. So basically, now it's illegal.

But ahh whatever. I'm not gonna debate with you over the quality of the show. But it is a big deal because of the amount of people it effects. (I guess obviously nobody from this forum.)

Re: Naruto Liscensed

Hey, I used to watch it, but the anime turned old to me around episode 90, and poorly animated (IMO, they did a superb job with Sasuke vs. Orochimaru. Best animation evar. After that though, it just went downhill, even with Gaara vs. Rock Lee). I'd rather read the manga, and at least be able to skip the long looong monologues.

I'm sure it's tragic news to those 100k viewers who downloaded it religously, but honestly, they knew what they were in for. T'was bound to happen sooner or later. So quit your whining. If you really want to see what happens next, go to Japan or become a law breaker.

Or buy the eventual uncut DVDs.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

I'm just reading the manga instead nowadays, as the quality of the anime is quickly declining.
But yes...the Sasuke versus Orochimaru fight was very smoothly animated. The Gaara versus Rock Lee one was also impressive, but still not quite up to par. Since then, no gems. And it's been over 50 episodes.

Re: Naruto Liscensed

The butchering of One Piece angers me more than this. *sigh* what have they done?
