There is no way a true-to-anime translation of Bo-bobo will be successful stateside. It wasn't successful with FLCL (read: SO MANY CHANGED JOKES) and since Bo-bobo is more fucked up than FLCL will ever be, I'll probably cry when it airs on Cartoon Network. If they have to slash the dialogue, how are they gonna explain stuff like the "Purukogi" segment, or the "I need a hamburger!" jokes?

Naruto has way too much blood in it to be targeted at five-year-olds. I believe the anime's attack names should not be changed, nor should the character names, I don't give a damn how hard people think it is to pronounce or spell or anything like that. Naruto has been way too much of an underground phenomenon to have to endure that kind of treatment, and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates Naruto.

It'd cause a kind of separation akin to the difference between people who say "Megaman" and the people who say "Rock", or the people who say "Protoman" and the people who say "Blues."

I want my damn Byakkugans. The only place where calling anything an Evil Eye is cool is Get Backers, which, Xeogred, you definitely should check out.

Although I can somewhat agree to that first comment (quoted) there's no argueing that Toonami, or whomever else is going to air Naruto can edit out things. (DBZ? Tenchi!?) So all in all, they could almost "transform" it into an anime geared towards 5 year olds, sadly. But I'm not so sure with myself on that one ...

And maybe it's just me but I honestly thought Bobobobobo, was already losing it's touch around episodes 7-8. It just seemed to lose it's humor, and I just wouldn't think they'd be able to keep such random humor strong for so long, but maybe I was wrong.

Grey: Actually I have seen the first 2 episodes of Get Backers, recently, and it definitely seems like a good series, other than the main character with the "Evil Eye" reminding me of Yu-Gi-Oh a bit. , but it really seems promising.

All in all I agree with most of what you said.

No voice actor can do as nicely as the current naruto seiyuu, that girl has one really annoying voice . Japanese females doing male voices = win.

Doesn't surprise me, many female voice actors play the role as voices for characters in the Simpsons.

Then again, I guess that's ... pretty different.

Thanks for that Link, Ive been looking for a new Naruto Source.
Oh and as for GetBackers, Ive seen the first 3 episodes and I love it! My Anime Netwrok On Demand only gives me access to episodes 1,2,3,12 right now. I didnt watch 12 because I dont want to miss anything.

Back to Topic, anyone heard anything about the US getting any Naruto games yet?

There's already one GC game scheduled to come here stateside ... if I'm correct, and maybe some of the GBA games? Don't take my word on that though ...

On more news, I've heard that ShoPro only licensed 60 episodes of Naruto. Although that's "somewhat" good to hear, I'm sure in time they'll just keep on aquiring more.

I could have sworn narutofan.com stated that that was only a rumor, it might have not been narutofan, but I remember hearing it somewhere,I'm kinda sad its been licensed. I just hope it doesnt turn out like One Piece..

I don't particularly like emulating my favorite tv shows only because it makes me want to be more like the characters in them. And, of course, I cannot live in those fictional worlds.

I don''t know. I think you would look pretty badass in an overcoat and dark glasses, sans bugs.

On the flip side, I have come to the conclusion that you can't make sand look cool in real life. At all. Rest assured that I will probably never cosplay Gaara.

Kiba, on the other hand, is a different story altogether.
