Is the anime cheating us in violence?

[Uchiha-Itachi]

Too much blood in the anime will decrease the audiance watching it, thus lowering the profits http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif since it's getting the R-rated tag..

[Destroyor]

It's just the time slot ... animemaster already pointed that out. Plus Naruto anime entertain a lot of kids (you know ... brat around 10ish years old) and their parents would just freak if there are "too much" blood. Remember Gseed when it was just implied that Kira had sex the parents had a lot of complains then ... oh well there's always the manga ...

[bao]

someone tell me that we have lot of problem in japanese
naruto and lot of manga like shonen jump have been censured
if they show violence they will be censured and naruto , for example, wont be in tv
(i am sorry because i'm not good in english)

[RockLeeisHOT]

none of these arguments make sense to me yet. because they already showed ample amount of blood in the Haku part of the series, they should have no problem adding blood. all they pretty much had to to was add some red paint to the cels... timeslot is what time the show plays during the day? Well unless they changed what time of day it plays, then why didn't they edit the Haku scenes?

[Lys]

I suppose a combination of laziness and censorship is probably the best excuse ... it's true that there was more blood for Haku, but Haku's death was a really major event in the episode—it needed the drama. Kakashi and Gai are just fighting nameless Sound people, so they don't ... deserve? blood or something. If there was gore splooshing around all episode long it might seem a little questionable. But I agree, the lack of blood does take away the seriousness of the WAR.

(personally, I don't pay attention to details anyway ^ˆ^;; I'd never have noticed the differences if they weren't pointed out like this)

[itachi_]

So you're saying that if it's a important part of the episode then it will come blood? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I thought that every human could bleed?

[Lys]

No one said anime had to be completely realistic at all times .... ^ˆ^;;

[Kagari]

I have a question regarding the violence in Shonen Jump monthly, and their graphic novels...

does anyone know if the Shonen Jump mags and the novels are censoring the violence in their canadian/american issues? I'd hate to think I'm getting gipped there too....I know that the haku fight (which just ended in shonen jump here) had quite a bit of blood...

for all of you pointing out there was more blood when Haku was fighting and what not let me point out that AFTER those episodes they changed the time slot remember our lovely documentary and the whole moving to the golden time thing.

Yes the Anime is slightly less bloody but at the same time it doesn&#39;t hurt it much. All Anime is less bloody then the manga if you don&#39;t believe me even look at berserk where there is TONS of blood the manga is WAY bloodier.

[Insomniac]

they used up all the blood at the beginning of the series and are now running on red paint.

[rEkKaShInObI]

Blood Shortage. IF you seen Bruce almighty, konoha and the other villages took their ninja&#39;s blood and stored them only to tell you that they ran out http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

i totally agree with the people because we do need blood, people are supposed to bleed, ITS A DAMN WAR FOR GOODNESS SAKE&#33;&#33; CMON ALREADY&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; JAPANESE ARE HI-TECH BUT VERY LAZY?&#33;

[SilentSnake]

without blood I don&#39;t have a feeling that anyone dies... it looks like in some cheap movie where guy is stabbed by a sword and then just jumps and lay on the floor without blood or anything indicating that something happend to him, it looks reaaaally F***ING stupid if u ask me... same with anime i&#39;m afraid... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[High Wind]

Wow there sure alot of blood thirsty people at Gotwoot http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

I actually wouldn&#39;t mind some more bloodshed, it would add to the atmosphere of having a war

I mean it wouldnt hurt if they add a little blood. I just watched 68 and I couldnt tell which guys were getting killed or which guys were just getting smacked around. Dont tell us that there is no difference, there is a huge difference. Also, adding a little blood is not gonna change the pr-rating from pg to R.

[petoix]

or how about this... when someone gets killed, they can become transparent with a little halo over their head and go floating up into the sky. isn&#39;t that how they did it in the saturday morning videos?

BAH&#33;&#33;

and yes... kakashi is SO SO SO cool in the manga.

[Wren]

my only problem is that the anime makes it look like Raido bit the dust, when in the Manga that wasnt actually him......0__o, that sort of thing pisses me off at times http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mad.gif . but all in all a good episode but a bit of blood is quite needed.

Maybe the blood factor has gone down as naruto may be license in america. Think about it, pokemon was a &quot;cool&quot; show until it was license in america. Obvivously american&#39;s can&#39;t stand blood. Hopefully this is all not true and naruto WILL NEVER be licensed.

Those Ratings are what&#39;s keeping the show on the air. They&#39;ve already had to outsource some of their animation to Korea... do you want them to do that more?

This is a 7:30pm Wednesday timeslotted program. You can&#39;t put what would be Adult Swim equivalent stuff in that sort of a primetime location.

Nara Animation is not getting enough money to do all of the show (or they&#39;re understaffed, which could be related to the former).

[RockLeeisHOT]

I am a nitpicker I gues... I don&#39;t know. but Ep 68 didn&#39;t have quite the impact that the scenes in the manga did. It was because of one missing element... and this element is... BLOOD&#33; please compair these following images:

http://babykefka.tfenet.com/RockLee/compair1.jpg
sorry but I just like the blood...
http://babykefka.tfenet.com/RockLee/compair2.jpg
They just look like they&#39;ve actually been fighting, and gai looks more badass
http://babykefka.tfenet.com/RockLee/compair3.jpg
This is what people killing anemies should be lookin&#39; like
http://babykefka.tfenet.com/RockLee/kakabloody.jpg
ok I might just be a freak but I like the blood... (please ignore what he&#39;s saying in the last panel, I just changed his wording in case it spoiled the anime a tad. it&#39;s when he&#39;s still talking to sakura though ^^)

My opinion is this: Episode 68 was good, but if they had added in minor details like this, it could have been even better. I was hoping that it would be dreary out like it was going to rain soon, but the episode was all bright and sunny. A lot different thatn I expected. I hope 69 is good XD

[rEkKaShInObI]

YEA MAN&#33;&#33; WE NEED THE BLOOD&#33;&#33;&#33; BLOOD BABY&#33;&#33; I think it is cheating us to 0_o

[Jman]

i guess were getting cheated but i think they do so because of the issue invovling the timeslot of the show and the audience...kids who watch the show. personally i don&#39;t mind the blood being taken out but it would be nice if it were a bit more hardboiled during some scenes. then again, the crew that works on the manga is different from the ones who work on the anime (so i&#39;ve heard)

[[\/]etrite]

lol we&#39;ve got a blood-shortage http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif.
But yeah the anime is cheating on us, you can name more things like that.
I mean Kakashis Chidori should&#39;ve went straight through Haku like in the manga.
Oh well, I don&#39;t really care about blood, but I think they just should&#39;ve sticked to the goreness of the manga.

[joker-kun]

Perhaps the japanese anime makers are becoming soft

[Beautiful Green Beast]

maybe Naruto is on tv too early for showing blood and shurikens in heads and so on...

[rEkKaShInObI]

MAN I AGREE WITH ALL YOU GUYS&#33; THE AUDIENCE NEED SOME BLOOD MAN&#33;

[RockLeeisHOT]

my argument is they did show quite a lot of blood (on Kakashi&#39;s head protector/face etc) in the haku fight, so what keeps them from adding it here? I think they were lazy...

[nark]

If you guys look back at the earlier episodes, you actually see more blood than you see now. The haku fight is a good example. Wayy more blood than now.

[Luchio]

Yeah the episode would be more realistic with red stuff coming out. But it is unnecessary. The result is the same, the enemies are dead&#33;

* I see dead people *

[rEkKaShInObI]

Back in the days when kakashi and them were fightn the demon brothers and naruto jabbed a kunai into his hand, all the blood started gushing out, we dont see that anymore =&#092;

[Mgslee]

I&#39;m sure most people realize that Naruto changed time slots (see episode 26) and after that the blood levels have dropped to only when its neccesary (see Hinata vs Neji)

Even if they dont draw blood they should atleast draw dirt marks... Gai and Kakashi are way to &quot;clean&quot; after that much battling ... really makes you question the whole &quot;war&quot; aspect...

[Krbadass]

I don&#39;t find it a problem..

[XwingRob]

I do think there should be a little bit more blood....but I&#39;m not gonna bitch about it or anything.

[OshadowO]

a piece of torn clothing or some dirt marks like someone said...heck even some sweat:/
Quality&#39;s not been so good art wise as of late. I keep thinking it&#39;ll pick up next episode every episode now:/
But hey atleast the plot is good.

[HarukoSZ]

Leet ninjas dont get dirty sires....

[Icingdeath]

Missing of the blood does not really annoy me, but yes, it would fell more like a brutal war if there would be some blood in the air...

Like Kakashi killing those two sound ninjas. Whitout the blood, it looked like Kakashi had just punched them away.

[rleland]

i guess there&#39;s lots of kids watching it and by now people are used to it being almost no blood so they just want to pull a janet

[RoMuLuu]

I spotted the same thing as the thread starter. For example when kakashi kills those two ninjas at the same time, to protect Sakura. In the manga, he throws the kunais through their heads, but in the anime it&#39;s not showed. I think id there is action, fighting and killing in anime (like in Naruto). Then it should be a bit more rough, I&#39;m not saying that there should be blood all over the place. But somehow the action sometimes just looks a bit too much childish. But if you make anime which includes killing, then there has to be blood also. That&#39;s just a must, because if you kill someone with a kunai, then it&#39;s guite redicilous if he doesn&#39;t bleed.

[itsgalf]

hmmm...I&#39;m not bothered by the lack of blood.
I don&#39;t get why everyone wants more graphics scenes like kunais going through people&#39;s heads and people&#39;s blood splattering all over. However, it would be nice to make the fighting more &quot;badass&quot; with more action, but I don&#39;t want people&#39;s heads splattering on the wall.

[itachi_]

Naruto&#39;s gettin&#39;n sucky right now&#33; more blood&#33;

l337 ninjas get dirty when they kill someone violently and the blood of the person they just kill splatters on them. in the anime it just doesn&#39;t seem like kakashi and gai are killing those ninjas. It just seems to me like they&#39;re punching and kicking them away. I can see how they want to make it less violent for a changed time slot... but sheesh. at least when they put DBZ on Cartoon Network they made the blood look like black lines or something and still left some of it there (like coming from thir eyes and mout and nose)

Anywyas... it was kinda disappointing to me. I&#39;m not saying it was a bad episode without it. I Guess I just wanted to see bloody kakashi and gai http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif You people that say you&#39;d rather see it without blood, that&#39;s ok, but kishimoto INTENDED there to be blood. I wonder how he feels about the anime version.. o.o

[Legendary Nin]

Sadly,yes,you are being jipped.I&#39;m not going to stop watching the anime though.I was an anime viewer before a manga reader,and have come to far to be bothered by it.Though I would prefer they would raise the bar a little more.

[r3n]

in the haku fight there was more blood and i think this is due to it being on a less popular time slot back then. however since its one like 5pm now u cant expect there to be blood. would u expect to turn on cartoon network and see bloody corpses in the middle of the day?

but yeah more gore wud be nicer, wud made the ninjas seem more badass, and more deadly.
