Uncut Naruto DVD on sale July 4, 2006

[RyougaZell]

I found this while browsing at Amazon.

-> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...v=glance&n=130

The first 13 episodes of Naruto on an uncut-dvd boxset.

Seems Viz hasn't forgotten about the fans.
No box art is available yet, unfortunately.

The boxset comes in two versions. Normal and special.
The special edition just contains a headband and wrist cuffs.

Normal box will cost 38dlls (at amazon).
Special box will cost 53dlls (at amazon).

DVD Features of the special edition: (for normal just don't count the HB and wrist cuff)

DVD Features:
Available Subtitles: English
Available Audio Tracks: Japanese (Unknown Format), English (Unknown Format)
13 original and uncut episodes on three discs
Includes original audio tracks and original series soundtracks
Japanese with optional English subtitles or English dubbed
Storyboards booklet
Collectible gold-foil embossed box
Naruto headband and wrist cuff
Limited edition: only 15,000 copies printed

Dunno how they will handle the english track, due to the dub having cut scenes, but if I buy this set I really don't plan hearing that track.

Thoughts?

PS:
I searched the forums, and did not found word of this.

My first thought was "bootleg" but this seems legit.

Viz isn't legit now?

Feckin awesome. I hope the later boxsets come with this deal. I'd love to get a head protector and wrist cuffs along with the 3rd Chuunin exam episodes for 50 dollars.

i think i forgot, but what are the wrist cuffs in naruto?

they have the uncut scenes dubbed as well, but they only show the cut episodes on tv.

I'll be picking this up. With Viz handling Bleach now, I think it'd be neat if they did the same thing for that.
Pictures of the box (which looks pretty good, I think) and the other goodies can be seen at http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/cat...em/69878/4/0/0

I'd really like to get this. However I'm not sure if it is worth the 50 bucks since I have the Aone releases.

Well really, what's the point to buying anime if you can just download it? I figure if I don't get this box set then I'll at least get the Rock Lee fight episodes in the spirit of "supporting the industry". Plus, I like the dub, so it'll be cool to have the official U.S. DVD and dub audio track. Very worth it imo.

I'll just grab the normal version since the headband and wrist cuffs don't interest me.

well, i wonder if the filler epi will get released on dvd's...that would be pretty sneaky of them consider that fillers have been goin on from epi 130s up until now (202 was the most recent)...imagine how many dvd's they'll release and how much $ they'll be makin...

but i have to say, the "uncut" dvd cover looks pretty nice. maybe it'll use the original jpn OP and EN instead of the lame rock and roll thing they're using on the US dub tv version..

Even if aone is top quality version you can download, the DVD quality still owns ANY quality that you can download on the computer. Also, the sound quality is much better on the DVD set too. In some ways, it IS worth money to buy these... However, it's not like you'll watch the same 13 episodes for the rest of your lives... You should just rent it and watch whenever you want that way instead of wasting $40-$50 for a DVD set which you will forget about in couple of months. Honestly, with the new fillers expected to end soon, it's not worth getting the first 13 episodes when you have better things coming up... Besides, nothing special to watch for the first 13. I only want to see the Naruto vs Sasuke in the DVD quality... that will be amazing.
