Let's see, there's the Sexy No Jitsu (called the Ninja Centerfold in Viz's manga translation) which will definatly have to go, which is going to make the ending to episode 2 a pain to edit...there's the sequence where Gara tries to stab himself...the scenes where Naruto and Orochimaru do stab themselves (both in the hand) especially since Orochimaru does it just to wake himself up...the scene where Kakashi scares Sakura with an illusion of Sasuke bleeding profusly with multiple knives sticking out of him and his leg bending the wrong way....the end of the fight between Gara and Lee...the sequence where Itachi makes Kakashi believe he is being crucified and tortured with a sword...the sequence where that one kid's father is ACTUALLY crucified....Kiba teaching his dog to mark trees while jumping, with lots of lovingly drawn dog urine flying everywhere (and Shino commenting "I can't work with this guy")...Iruka with a huge shuriken sticking out of his back...Jiraya's habit of peeping in on women while they're bathing...the sequence where Orochimaru makes Sasuke believe he just died...various references to Tsunade's large breasts...a giant snake exploding in a shower of blood and guts...LOTS of random blood spurts here and there...and, since this IS Toonami, the third Hokage smoking a pipe. Oh, and some spolier-y ones too: spoiler[The flashback sequence showing Itachi casually murdering his entire family, except for Sasuke -The sequence where Itachi forces Sasuke to relive the above tragedy, over and over again, countless times -Orochimaru revealing the two dead bodies of his assistants which he used to reanimate the two former Hokages. -The scene where they find Hayate's corpse, already half-eaten by scavenging birds -The scene where Kazekage's corpse is found, already badly decomposed and covered in maggots -Sarutobi summoning a Shinigami and attempting to pull out Orochimaru's soul -The flashback to the death of Tsunade's brother, which shows his body covered in a sheet in a mourge -The flashback to the death of Tsunade's boyfriend, where she ends up covered in his blood ] I could go on, but this post is long enough. So in regards to Naruto on Adult Swim-not as ridiculous as you thought, huh? :p |

Naruto is quite a bit bloodier than a lot of stuff they have on Adult Swim right now. But no matter where they show it, I will avoid even watching clips of it in order to keep the voice acting unmolested in my mind.

If it does indeed stay on Toonami, which seems to be more and more likely with all the official statements, then it will really test Cartoon Network's bold declaration in Q1 2004 that Toonami will be "aging up" for tweens and teenagers. So far, the one "aged" show they had on there, Gundam SEED, got moved off for bad ratings, so this could test its principles. |

Since Shopro/Viz licensed Naruto they will most likely be using the Ocean group (probably best known to people from Inu-Yasha) to dub it. So my roomate and I were trying to figure out who's voice will end up with who's. I don't know any of the voice actors names so I'm just going to list who they did on Inu-Yasha.
Naruto - Inu Yasha??? (I hope they don't, but that's what they'll probably do) Sasuke - Miroku Sakura - Kagome Kakashi - Sashomaru Tsunade - Sango (though the woman who does Faye Valentine would be perfect for her) Kiba - Inu Yasha (perfect fit but I don't think they'll stick him w/ such a minor character) Orochimaru - That guy who used to do Vegeta season 1 and 2 (don't know if he's still with Ocean group) I can't think of any others right now (especially since I'm not that big of a Inu Yasha fan). What do you guys think? Who would you use |

I dont think think So. Naruto is pretty tame. Sexy no Jutso they will just edit on a bikini like the Japanese did for the video games. Everything else till around the mid 30's I dont think will be a problem. And since this is Viz and we will get uncut bilingual Dvds I dont give a crap if they do edit it. Im just looking foward to merchandising. |

You know, there's this site called animenewsnetwork.com that has cast lists for a lot of animes..... 
Anyway, it probably will be Richard Cox as the fox demon ninja. But whatever happened to Ian Corlett?
"THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD" POST COUNT: 9 (8 are from the other thread) Get a clue. Look at Kenshin and then make it slighty more uniform. Yes, there won't be any pipe smoking, but faking death?! Please. You do know that Dragonball kept in all or most of the peepy sequences. DRAGONBALL!!! Welcome back the glory and splendor that is digital bikinis. Now shut up and watch happily like the rest of us "heathens." |

No, I don't think so. He did stuff for "Sitting Ducks" at least, and that wasn't too long ago. [ADDENDUM: He's now a writer. Whoo. And what's with me posting ahead of people I quote?!] |

I think I get your point, as I've pointed out many times myself that Spongebob Squarepants reruns get 5 or 6 times the ratings of One Piece among the all-important Kids 6-11 demographic (the one the advertisers care about for Saturday morning cartoons), but CN, while it doesn't get Nickelodeon's numbers on Saturdays, still beats everything on broadcast television in the 6-11 demographic, including 4Kids' syndicated block on Fox. Unfortunately, ratings information for weekday afterschool programming isn't nearly as readily available as the Saturday morning ratings, so i wouldn't be able to say how well CN and Nick do compared to Fox in that timeslot for that demographic. |

I know, I'm just lazy and didn't feel like finding everyones name. Plus when I try to explain to people who they are (because I do know a few names off hand) they usually don't know who I'm talking about until I tell them who they've voiced before. As for Ian Corlett I think he quit doing voice work (in general, not just DBZ) after season 1 of DBZ. Last edited by VOX on Thu Feb 17, 2005 3:37 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Ah, the great misconception that gore = maturity. Naruto may sport "more blood" than, say, Big O or Witch Hunter Robin, but the fact remains that Naruto's storyline is the sort of thing that elementary school kids get the most into ("I'm gonna be the bestest super ninja ever!"). The two Adult Swim shows I mentioned both feature...I guess you could say more refined plots with more complex themes (and in Big O's case, the sort of odd tongue-in-cheek humour like episode eighteen) that better appeal to an adult audience. The amount of blood has nothing to do with how much more mature one is over the other, and removing some random Chuunin getting stabbed with a kunai in episode 40-whatever won't compromise the overall theme of the series.
Hm...nope, still ridiculous. Again, gore is not maturity of story. |

I don't know as though Fox plays weekday after-school cartoons anymore. I think that of the broadcast networks, only WB is still doing this. One Piece and Naruto seem to be very similar story style-wise to other adventure type shows CN's previously had success with - DBZ, IY, DB. I'd figure that both should be fairly successfull. They've got a lot more action and some humore, as apposed to the last big name show they got - SEED. Toonami is deffinately the place for these shows, though. |

We've seen liscening Kodomo no Omocha, Milk-chan, Naruto, One Piece, Bobobo. Almost nothing seems off limits anymore for licensing! I won't be suprised if we someday get to see a plain nonmagical nonaction Shoujo series on tv.
I think there'll be no way to avoid hearing the dub as I'm sure we all have some [morbid] curiousity. |
