Yeah, I guess we could be overexagerating this issue a bit, huh?

Well, as long as we don't hear any DBZ voices, Naruto won't be doomed beyond! hell.

Still though, dubs should die.

But I completely disagree with Kakashi - Spike. Spike's voice is deep and cocky, while Kakashi and his attitude is kind of a laid back I don't care slithering kind of voice. For instance, if Shikamaru were older, I'd say Spike would fit his voice much better than Kakashi, because it fits the character too.

(Hopefully that made some sense )


I completely agree down to the last period. I can see Heero - Sasuke more so than Vash - Naruto.

We're comparing the character voices.....the actors usually change their voice according to character.........but Spike and Mugen could be twins.

I dont know why people are ragging on the dubs. I jsut scored on some free clips off a site and it looks really awesome.

[seriously] Okay heero sounded like a 35 year old man on gundam wing so we know sasuke is screwed. Spike and kakashi kind of actually fit real well. Vash and naruto are a good comparison if you recall childhood vash's clips. Sakura is okay for her voice. And garaa and kaiba wont work out in my opinion garaa needs a deeper voice.[/seriously]

Steven Jay Blum as Kakashi (Spike from Cowboy Bebop)
Eric Stuart as Gaara (Kaiba from Yu Gi Oh)

Am I supposed to laugh? I can't picture ANY of those characters with those kind of voices. This is easily going to be one of the worst dubs ever.


Seems like their trying to break out the big shots.....to bad their 'all star' cast doesn't really seem to fit.

I can see where they would draw the similarities....but I don't see Vash's voice even coming close to Naruto. I'm sure they'll change their voices at much as possible.....but I still don't get a good feeling from this.

I doubt i'll enjoy whatever the game is as much as others. It won't have many characters and I doubt it will be as fun as the japanese games for Gamecube and Ps2. (Which I already own.)

It's okay though....I'm sure a Narutard that lives by me will buy it. And I'll give it my overly biased review.:giggle:

There are so many questions to how their going to do the Naruto stuff. I'm actually fearful yet excited to see what they do to the series. I'm just going to hope that later on they stick a uncut version on adult swim like they use to do with anime back in the day when toonami ran throughout the week.

The Naruto game I cant wait for thought. It just seems like it will be a great fighting game. I could really care less about the merchandise. Normally I would just get it off ebay and even with local retailers, ebay may still be the best choice. With all that said and done ill have my fingers crossed and hope for the best. It should be coming out this summer.

Hot Topic? Oh gods... the posers shall have a field day with this. First Foamy, now Naruto.

... oh well, at least it will be easy to get merchandise.

Hot Topic now has exclusive rights as a Naruto retailer.

I can't say i'm happy with this.....at all.

Bandai is also making a USA exclusive game for Ps2 and PsP. We'll see how that goes...

Now you and I know that no mainstream channel would ever do that. Too much of viewer alienation. Most of the American Public wants movies in a language that they can understand. Even the freaking Anime Network, THE ANIME NETWORK, the 24/7 anime cable channel that you have to pay extra for dubs everything. Seriously. It will probably be dumbed down though to pander to ther 12year old boy audience. Shame really.

Yes... we do... we've seen enough animes done by these people... It will not end well...

I want to see a channel that doesn't even bother dubbing them... just sub it and put it on tv...

Knowing Toonami, they'll probably make it last for years.

Of course, I've only heard they licensed the first 60 episodes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they continued on ...

There's a commercial out though now for Toonami, it's absolutly horrendous. Just look it up, or watch Toonami and look out for it, it'll make you want to cry in sadness.

*sigh* Now that I think about that ... yeah, I could see that happening.

I think it will be the next DBZ. Shonen jump has mentioned allready that its a huge hit in there Magizene......im sure it will do just fine.

(The Forgotten, from here on please refrain from using the term "gay", some people out there can take that offensively)

Meh, I probably just won't ever watch it.

I don't think it'll ruin the show for me, but I just hope it doesn't become the next "DBZ" craze-alike anime out there.

I've heard they've only licensed about 60 episodes or so, but still, I wouldn't doupt it's success, and that'll probably push them to buy out more of the show ...

What's next? Bleach?

I have not been happy with the recent licensing going on:
Naruto, Samurai Champloo, Samurai 7, Getbackers, Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo, and more.

Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo, will also be on Toonami. Now THAT show is already ruined. It has a ton of Japanese terms in it that make it funny half the time, and translating it over is just going to butcher the show.

I was debating if I should keep this open or not. We could just talk about this in the Naruto thread. But before the post wipe, there was a seperate thread. So I guess we can keep this one.

That sentence (I think that's what it is) contradicts itself. Unless you're excited that it's going to be ruined. But that's not the impression I got....

Toonami doesn't control how the show is edited. The licensing company does. And considering that the company that licensed Naruto, also has Hamtaro and Inuyasha licensed. I think it's safe to say that it will be butchered.....But there's always hope....
