A question about Naruto and licensing

[jing]

Hmm. why hasn't Naruto been liscenced? Let me call 4Kids and ask them.

you also cant expect that, just because anime dvds have subtitle options, that they would be GOOD subtitle options.

What if a company licenses naruto and then does something like viz where they call sharingan "copy wheel eye" or naruto's move the "art of the doppleganger"? Then we really would be screwed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Someone was talking in work today about this month's Newtype, which I have yet to see arrive, and that it shows ADV showing extreme interest in it, almost as if they already have it. It would be a smart play for them, given they want to run their own anime channel and this would definitely be a good draw for them. For the good sub end, I'd love for them to have it. For the end of not having to wait 2+ years for it to get where it is now, I pray to god they don't. But I have yet to read the article, so it could be the rantings of some random otaku having a bad day, for all I know.
