I haven't seen a mention of this story from ICV2.com

Quote:
Viz has retracted an earlier announcement that Naruto was going to strip on the Cartoon Network in June, saying that "the information was not confirmed prior to publication."

Can anyone here confirm or deny this news?

It's confirmation of a denial, you're not going to get anything solid from Viz or CN, or anyone else in the loop, until that information is ready to go public.

I'd guess that it's on CN's preliminary schedule where it's not quite set in stone yet. But I'd be very surprised if it doesn't come to pass, considering that more people than usual seem to have tuned in for the Easter weekend marathon, as Naruto cracked the weekly Nielsen top 30 charts for both Kids 9-14 and Teens 11-17 for the first time in months. I guess more young viewers were at home that particular Saturday than usual, because of Easter and Passover.

Atamaii.com, just so you know the Talkback forum is reserved exculsively for news and headlines from the frontpage only. If you have a general question you want feedback on, please post in one of the other appropriate forums next time. Thanks.

For now, I will move this one to the Anime forum.

Yeah, we printed a story about that too, and retracted it. But we made an error when retracting it, and instead of moving it to the archives the story was deleted.

Viz did indeed say in their mailing list that Naruto would strip Mon-Thurs, and then they later contacted us to say that this was not yet confirmed.
