When Naruto becomes licensed...

[Ryno2410]

What things would you change/keep in the translated versions?

For example, would Naruto say "Kage Bunshin no jitsu," keeping the Japanese in the translation, or would you rather him say in english "Shadow Replication Technique" or something like that. Unless, you like Viz's manga translation and Naruto's technique is called Art of the Doppelganger.

If you were a business person in the U.S. who was in charge of the licensed Naruto, would it make more money if you edited some of the graphic scenes with blood so it has a wider audience or tailor to the more hardcore fans? For example, is it good business wise to make Naruto an anime on fox instead of putting it on adult swim? If you watch One Piece, which is going to be shown on Fox Box soon, they now have Sanji sucking a lollipop instead of smoking a cigarette. Maybe they'll make Asuma suck a lollipop as well....

Don't edit anything. Some techniques could do without the "jutsu" for American audiences. For example, having Naruto say "Kage bunshin" or "shadow replication" would be acceptable without "jutsu" or "technique" tagged at the end.

i hope they dont change the name of kage bunshin to "art of the doppelganger" like they did in the US manga...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]...i shudder at the thought...

First off if naruto becomes liscenesed, I will CRY!!!!!!

If im right, once a anime become liscenesed, distrubiting and fansubing becomes forbidden for that anime. Well you could still do it, but you might end up gettin into alot of trouble.

If im right that is.

Beside if naruto came to the US, i prolly wouldnt watch a Dubed English Naruto. Id stick with watchin japanese.

i don't understand why naruto is not licensed yet...

it is much better and much more promising (action/ninja stuff is always popular) for a company to distribute.

[Ryno2410]

I'm thinking it probably won't be licensed by the kiddie people for two main reasons:

The violence in the show...like the stuff with Zabuza and Haku and Gaara's desert funeral
Sexy No Jitsu and pervert Jiraiya

It would be kinda hard to edit those out since they deal with the plot directly...unless you totally changed the characters completely

seriously they did that? hahahahahaha i feel sorry for the americans. good thing swedish translators got more of a brain the american jackasses do.

i will also cry when naruto gets licensed and then download it form some vulture group.

I just hope funimation or whoever waits until the anime is over before they sub it. That way the subbers won't get in any trouble whatsoever. Correct?

Question: If they do license it, are the subbers allowed to continue distributing the episodes that were already subbed before licensing? Or do they have to take all the episodes down completely?

[PSJ]

they have to take all of it down because americna companies are to greedy. god i hate them. they air the show in north american ONLY yet we who lives in the rest of the world cant get it. stupid dumbass american assholes.

I hope they do not change anything. I hope they do not liscence.

holy shit im soon at 3000. 4 more posts after this [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] sorry for this off topic..


i dont care really if they license or not as long as groups still subs it. if they stop subbing it however ill go mad and head will roll [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I don't naruto will be liscened befor the series is finished or at least like a season away from being finished. Also i think the creator of Naruto isn't in the mood to have the animated version of his story liscened after seeing what was done to the original manga, I don't think he was to happy with the "art of the doppleganger" instead of "Kage Bushin". if it's liscened by anyone it's going to be Viz. they own the Manga they'll fight for the anime so they'll corner the market. Be afraid very afraid.

[Pyron]

i agree with jiraiya....i won't care unless the subs stop.

my friends and i use to joke around with dbz saying shit like "reallyyyy long fireballllll!!!" instead of kamehameha. or something like...."really fast kicks!!!"

that's a little extreme but i wouldn't want them to change too much in a translation if they licenced naruto....which i hope never happens anytime soon

have you ever seen fullmetal alchemist. its way bloodier.... is that a word?
anyhow , it even uses real blood colour , instead of naruto's "black" blood at times.

and FMA did become licensed.....

sexy no jutsu and pervsin Jiraiya('s behaviour) are more for fun , rather then implying sexual content.

I will cry more than all of you put together if they license naruto! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] i would hate that soooo much. i really hope they dont license it for their own good. lets all hunt them down if they license it [img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

[DeluxSkillz]

face it, it will be licensed eventually and yes there will be groups who will continue subbing there are countries that don't fall under the laws north america does so we will get it in japanese with english subs, now definately a kiddy company is gonna get Naruto. why? because 50% of the naruto community are DBZ lovers which means cash because DBZ was a major succes so don't be afraid to see 4kids license it or funimation, the only thing that would make me worry is the fact that they might not release the DVD''s with the original japanese version on it since i'm gonna buy this series on DVD i'm afraid of not getting a japnese version on it and i won't buy if it's not on there

I'm not sure who licensed FMA, but I'd be very surprised if someone like 4kids licensed it...just think about the scene with Nina and Scar. Also, to the sexy no jitsu and pervert Jiraiya, sure its fun, but I'm sure American parents would have something to say about that...do i have to describe it?

[DeluxSkillz]

FUNimation licensed FMA they did DBZ

[kilzo]

Yeah they're going to have to do something about all the big bloody nose parts that go along with the sexy jutsu. i dont think 4kids or many other groups will allow some guy falling over with a bloody nose, with the blood all over the place.
