American Naruto, preview was just shown

[Mite Gai]

Wow, as soon as I read Rhanfal's post last page I almost died of boredom. SOOOO LONG!!! Rhanfal you gotta just accept other people's opinions and stop stereotyping english speaking people who speak foreign languages as jerks who don't attempt to speak it correctly. Oh and Rhanfal, a country is its people, so when you insult the people of America, you insult the country of America, not that I have a problem with that I just wanted to make sure you understood what you are saying.

P.S. I have no problem with anyone who makes posts in bad english, I just prefer to have good posts so I can read the post quicker.

As long as the names of the characters are kept, the dub voices are good, and they don't butcher it. I couldn't care less.

What *is* the proper pronunceation of Naruto?

I've always done how it sounds in the anime, "Naru-Toe" or, emphasis on the "t"

I didn't honestly mind CN's "trailer" of English Naruto simply because, by the way it seems at the moment: they don't even have real dubbed footage! I mean, the narration for the trailer was the guy who always does Toonami stuff, and his prounciation of Naruto more than likely isn't the one used by Sho-Pro in the dubbing. As for whether or not it will hold ground compared to the original series Is as completely differen't story...It all depends on who they cast for voice acting, how badly they cut up the things they don't like about the series...and if they decide to translate the moves or not....We'll just have to see.

Well yes the trailer actually was not dubbed so what that guy said might not be all correct. You have to wait for the actual dub to come out before jumping to conclusions.

As for the thing with the pronunciations let me tell you my opinion as a non American. When speaking a foreign language within your own country it's not really necessary to have an accent or even try to fake one or pronounce sth correctly because the majority of people speaking the same language don't . They usually make fun of you if you try it. Take for example my people, Greek people, they speak so weird in Englissh its a pain for most people to hear (completely blatant). I always had an accent naturally because I loved English but my classmates who didn't made fun of me until my teacher told them that their English pronunciation sucked contrary to mine. Not only my classmates even random people laughed when they heard my English. But I always sound like a native speaker be it English, French or Japanese. And only the native speakers appreciate it.

The same goes for every country even America. Of course there are going to be mistakes in pronunciacion esp if it is within a mainstream aimed show like Naruto. So don't complain.
Well I guess the Japanese have a harder time thean other not being able to pronounce most English words. Or German. Or Greek. (Have you ever heard a Japanese speak Greek? It's so very weird ...)
