    Naruto in the U.S.

    Ok i was wondering when they or if they will make Naruto into english and put it to Toonami. If anybody knows I would like to know. Also im confused, I was downloading a Rorouni Kenshin music video and it was wierd, is there like 2 different versions of Rorouni Kenshin because i think they might make a different version of Naruto but thats just my thinking
    No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

    RE: Naruto in the U.S.

    naruto in english is the last thing we want....if i'm correct, that would mean that the series would be licenced thus there will be no more subbing..

    for whoever is gonna bash me on this one...this is what i think i know about licencing...so chill

    RE: Naruto in the U.S.

    Trust me, Naruto will still be subbed if it is licenced. Look at all the other serise, Since They are so far into the serise i dont think there is much of an issue. Besides naruto will Probly not be licneced for a year yet.

    It will probably get license just not any time soon, I mean look at one piece how popular it is and it just got licensed at like 200 eps by 4Kids Entertainment. I hope they never try to dub Naruto.

    When it does come to amer. there gonna change like mostly everything, maybe even some of the names. I don't think that it will be coming to amer. soon, and Im grateful for that, becuz there prob. gonna edit some of the scenes, and it won't be the same as the real thing.

    I HOPE they dont licence naruto. If they do its probably gonna be like rockman.exe when it was dubbed in english it turned gay they changed everyone's name and they all sound so gayish.

    About the 2 different versions of rurouni kenshin, you might have seen scenes from the TV series and OVA in the music vid. The OVA has a darker and more melancholy and dark drawing style compared to the TV's light hearted and bright anime style.

    And about Naruto being licensed... just my idea but if the fans really do care about Naruto then we should all pitch in to see how much money we could raise and hopefully buy out the company... I don't know just a thought although I realize not all of us have a job or source of income so that plan would be trash... if we somehow do raise enough money, I would like to hire Aone + ANBU to keep subbing and release it over ehre like that. Just my little peice of the license of Naruto but i doubt it will happen IF Naruto is licensed...

    Naruto in the U.S.

    Yeah i havnt the slightest idea why they havent taken this up yet? theres alittle blood but nothing that bad? to me it seems like something that would make a decent line-up someday? but i guess thats to be decided at the convention.

    Yeah, there's Kenshin OVA (gloomy/serious) Kenshin TV series (happy wider-fanbase styled animation).

    Naruto in the U.S.

    For one thing, it matters what company takes it over to how bad it will be. I mean some animes have been great once they were licensed in the US. Another thing it has gotten such a huge fan base that if some company does grab it they would be murdered if they changed the names. I mean look at dragonball-z maybe one to two names were changed, but it was because of bad english usage on part of the japanese. No I dont want it to be taken just yet because i dont know what i would do without my weekly episode, but yall are crazy if you think some company is going to totally burn this anime.

    Ok not the right topic but i believe the tv series is called Rurouni Kenshin and was only released in japan and the us howver i believe the Ova's are called Samurai X and are released by ADV in the uk and the us and japan i might be wrong but i know for sure that ADV have released the ova's in the uk under the name Samurai X

    This sig was made by KitKat.

    Naruto in the U.S.

    I agree with sharingan_user
    if they move bring it to North America
    they will really change everything, some of the story may be changed! shouldn't come to NA at all because it'll ruin naruto. it'll become so main stream. then it will never be as good.

    Just reference: look at Sailor Moon they change quite a bit of details to the story like: Zoysyte he's originally a guy. but they made him a girl.
    or DBZ they leave out so much and add so much freeze frames now it sux (Just Example)

    You are around half right there, let me clear it up for everyone. In Japan, the TV series was known as Rurouni Kenshin (Wandering Samurai Kenshin directly translated in English) and was produced by Fuji TV and SME Visual Works. There were also officially two OVA's and a movie of Rurouni Kenshin made. The first OVA which was the prequel to the Rurouni Kenshin TV series was known as Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku hen which was produced by SME Visual Works. The second OVA was basically a huge flashblack of all the events of the Rurouni Kenshin TV series known as Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku Hen and was also produced by SME Visual Works. The movie was a seperate story line relating to the TV series which was known as Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi no Requiem which was produced by Fuji TV and SME Visual Works

    In the U.S., the TV series, Rurouni Kenshin, was licensed and produced by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Media Blasters (the same name was kept, and now is fully on DVD and has been shown on Cartoon Network recently.) The first OVA (or OAV) was licensed by ADV Films and the name was changed to Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. The second OVA was also licensed by ADV Films and the name was changed to Samurai X: Reflection. I don't really know why they changed the name, I guess they didn't want to be asscoiated with the TV Series. The movie was licensed by ADV Films and the name was changed to Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture. The two OVA's and the movie can be bought on DVD.

    Hope that cleared that up.

    Naruto in the U.S.

    Hmm.. well about the licensing Naruto not yet, but the Anime Expo 04 could change some things i just hope Funimation won't get it. The sad thing is i think Funimation is the only anime company with enough money to get it , just like Detective Conan [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

    RE: Naruto in the U.S.

    ONO! Main steam is Evil. Only Cool stuffz Iz Stuffz Not Many Like! ONO!


    So what if 10 year olds are running arounf yelling art of Doppleganger and TadPole EYES! The Dubbed Verson if you want to look at it this way is a totally diffent show. It isnt our naruto. Licencing is not an evil Clown that will bite you and lock you in the basement. Nore is it the end of the world. That is Why all good Companys Put a subbed verson On the Dvd's. If that wasnt around wineing about licencing be Justified.

    Naruto in the U.S.

    If it does come i really dont think its gonna show in toonami and if it does its not gonna be the same. there gonna edit the series alot cause Naruto does have violent scenes a some sexual content and the english voices wont seem right now tha im seeing it in japanese. Even Cowboy Bebop who is in adult swim took out some of the blood in fighting scenes.

    [i]Just reference: look at Sailor Moon they change quite a bit of details to the story like: Zoysyte he's originally a guy. but they made him a girl.
    That's not actually a bad idea for naruto. If they changed haku into a girl then it would stop everyone asking questions about it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] . Although it would be the only change that I could accept in Naruto [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    What do you guys think?
