    Boo!

    naruto has been licenced by a nasty company in the states.

    apparently it's gonna be shown on Toonami, which is good... but it also means no more fansubs (probably) :(

    It's been licensed by ShoPro (Viz), which isn't bad. At least 4Kids didn't get their grubby little hands on this.

    Some fansubbers will keep on doing it.

    Translators of the Naruto manga seem to be put out by this because of Viz's inaccurate translations of the manga.

    Ahem:


    NOOOOOOOOO000000000000000000000000000000ooooooooooooooo!

    Naruto is one of my favoritest animes out there. I don't mind paying for the DVDs, don't get me wrong--but I REALLY don't want a crappy division like Viz to be the owner of it.....


    But I am really surprised it took them this long to license it--considering its runaway popularity...

    Probably held out for a tidy sum so it did. I know theyll make really ****ty dubs, there will still be fansubs but ten times harder to find now.

    Yeah, animesuki.com took Naruto off the second they heard it was licensed.

    It's probably still available on animeyume.org.

    Well I'm more a One Piece fan myself but I still think that it is sad for one reason, now that it has been licensed, it will take for ever for the DVDs to be released and eventually reached where the Fansubs dropped. Another thing is that in theory we, in Europe, we can't buy Region 1 dvds but no-one has yet release Naruto in the UK so what do we do then? :D

    I meant that regarding the law we shouldn't normally purchase Region 1 DVDs except by paying a big tax on it :D but don't worry no offense taken ;)

    Well Naruto will just generate the same phenomena as Dragon Ball Z in the States, a 100 DVDs + 100 DVDs v.2 :D
