Not lazy enough to let anime slide unedited. There is such as thing as broadcasting regulations that stipulate what can be shown on a certain channel/time/audience. Since Naruto will be airing for a younger audience, it will be edited, blood/killing etc. As for it moving to adult swim, that probably won't happen. I think the only possibility that it would move there is if they find that the viewers of the show are older than the target (they found out while airing Rurouni Kenshin that the people watching it were older than expected). So, unless all the kids hate Naruto, that probably won't happen.

and adding to what Lefty said about even editing FMA, there still are edits to adult swim programs, even though its for adult viewers, so if even AS programs get edited, Toonami anime definatly will.

Long live raws, baby!
*Celebrates language*

Really though, if you guys LEARN JAPANESE, you don't have to worry about subbing, right? It took me like, 2 years to learn to speak ENGLISH this well. So if I can learn to speak english, a language considered to be one of the most difficult to learn, you guys can learn japanese. It's really not that difficult. *The more you know!*

I doubt studying Japanese for 2 years , you would know enough to fully understand raws, unless the person was living in Japan while learning it.

[miaka]

while In japan they have ENGLIsh classes .. and learningenglish is a requirement.. it's not so in AMerica.. and even hard to find japanese class anyways.. unless you are in college..

and it takes whole lot more to learn a language than 2 yrs..

Hey is this the anime downloads forum?

No, no it isn't.

[diskrnguyjl236]

How much are houses in Canada.... Just wondering? Cause Im willing to go!

[Haku no Fuyu]

Trust me. If you can befriend a Japanese person, you can learn from one of us. MOST Japanese people LOVE to teach the language (my family in Japan has a language school); it probably goes along with our overwhelming sense of superiority. Befriend a Japanese person! We're handy!

I've only taken four semesters of Spanish and can hold my own in a conversation with a native speaker. Languages really aren't as hard to learn as people think.

Obviously you're doing something wrong then. I know a ton more than that and all I've done is watch anime.

Again, not true. I am not allowed to pass (copy) it around, but I can download movies, anime, etc for personal use per the laws of my country.

[Dezalanel]

Sorry G-Angel but you are wrong. Aeon is right, it has always been illegal to dl Naruto and other animes it's just that the Anime companies do not do anything about it really.

[Nightdog]

will Aone include all episodes or only certain episodes ?

Hello

First off let me start by thanking those who for all that time have grabbed the japanese broadcast, subbed it (not too badly compared to some subs on some hong kong DVD's) and brought it on the torrent networks.
your work was really appreciated by lots of people.

Now with this license thing. i urge you to be careful. we have all seen how harshly the mpaa has dealt with both lokitorrent and suprnova and (as is the custom in previous dictatorships) try to give a pseudo-moral image of themselves to the world (just look at www.lokitorrent.com to see what i mean) when in fact they forget how much they steal from artists (by providing them with very low percentages in average) or consumers (remember back in the 80's and 90's when buying a CD cause you like a couple of songs you paid for 10 songs and up your ass if you didn't like it) where was the mpaa standing on those "moral" infringements ?

and now it's worse: they threaten all of us of HUGE fines, even JAIL (as if downloading a torrent made you a physical threat to society) to those who want to give meaning to the word "freedom on the net" they say "stealing is wrong" but they wanna take you most fundamental right by potentially threatening you of jailtime. go figure.

Hitler said once "the rights of the strongest is always the best" and the MPAA and other powerful groups are trying to apply that say.

so bottom line be careful, don't let the "powerful" impose their "rights of the strongest" and do what it takes to ensure you can continue with this great release. (going to canadian or asian servers anywhere the mpaa and their buddies powers have no reach)
