I'm surprised Naruto's going to get the Toonami treatment and not Adult Swim... shows you what kind of marketing they're going for there. :\ Trying to find the next Dragon Ball.

Naruto getting that treatment SHOULD ensure that, if YTV picks it up, it probably won't find itself on the Bionix lineup for next fall... *phew*

Why? Why does it surprise you that it's going to Toonami? The target audience for it was teens and "tweens" in Japan, why the hell wouldn't it be here? It is in no way a mature show, the only things that would prevent it from going to Toonami are the sexual references and the blood. Both of which are very easily edited.

I hate how they changed the focus of Naruto from him making a future for himself (or something like that) to him being all omgssjkyuubikewl. Also, the fact that it's easily edited doesn't mean it should be edited, if it's made one way it's most likely supposed to be that way.

You're exactly right! It was made for the 10-14 crowd, so it's supposed to be for the 10-14 crowd. And the only way to get it to its target audience without complaint of graphic content from guardians/parents/concerned citizens is to... EDIT IT. Removing blood in no way changes the tone of the show. It's not a bad thing. They're not screwing over the plot and the character's personalities are the same, so what's the big deal? There's no way to tell how it's going to go until it actually airs. It could turn out to be a great dub. Save your damn complaining until a time when it'd actually be appropriate.

And that's funny because while Naruto's probably going to be chopped up, they're going to start airing DBZ - this time *uncut*.

It boggles the mind.

Not uncut, just... Less cut.

Oh, and...

You keep saying that, but where is the proof?

Uhm.. pretty sure it wasn't made for the 10-14 crowd.. the content seems more like 15+ to me. So not editing it and announcing it as some 15+ anime would be ok.. really.
Also, DBZ uncut would mean good music and stuff.. can't have that . (Trunks had some cool music though )

... the hell? With the exception of like two songs, DBZ's japanese music sucks *so very much*. The music FUNi gave it is quite a bit better (with a few things in particular).

Anyway, Japan is an extremely screwed up nation and doesn't care what children are exposed to. They're also a horribly sexually immature nation and they have a host of other problems, but this isn't Japan-bashing time so I'ma quit with that subject. Yeah, Naruto is aimed at "tweens" and young teenagers... So is, for that matter, just about every other Japanese action cartoon. They're called "shonen" anime because they're aimed at shonen.. It should really be obvious, though. I mean, that's exactly the age group that gets most excited by sexual content and ridiculous amounts of blood

What's this excitement about DBZ?

I'm more than positive all we're going to get are those "uncut" episodes, that were also released in the US for 3-5 dollars more than the "original" episodes. What was the difference? Nothing. I had a few tapes, and there was nothing about them that was different. Okay, maybe somebody said "crap".

Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth.

And Naruto was already ruined when it was licensed. And it's time like this when I'm going to say ... "Dopple Ganger Attack!" ...

They're showing DBZ uncut. [spins finger]

Well I guess that gives me something to peer at out of the corner of my eye when it comes on starting tomorrow.
