Well, if you've really gotten into the later stuff, I'd recommend you pick up on reading the manga, since it's so far ahead of the anime (a two year leap in the series at that).

It starts to get really deep with Akatsuki and the other "cooler" villians aside from Orochimaru, and so forth.

Unless I'm totally misunderstanding, it's the early episodes that Grey likes, not the later ones.

Well, it seems like he doesn't hate the early episodes from the way that quote reads. I'll ask him in IRC and find out for sure.

I've read the manga, I think I liked the Japanese version better in many ways, but I've not noticed any real edits between excluding name choices (I've only read up to the third volume and then I just quit).


Hm, well if there's no real edits I'm just gonna get the American stuff. Cheaper.

Heh, just make sure you can stand the name choices. The cartoon's edits have been better in my honest opinion from those that were in the comic.

I can't remember names either in my real life or of any characters anyway, so I doubt it'll bother me. In general I like animation better than still comics anyway, I just can't get enough Naruto right now.

English dubs killed Naruto. I watched 10 seconds of the "dubbed" version and vomited. Here is a visual description to give you an idea of what these "translators" did.

Funny how I think the voices fit the characters perfectly.

Of course, SamuraiX, if you watched a whole 10 seconds (wow, that's alot), you would've only seen the opening theme (which is horrible. But then again, most beginning themes are horible, japanese or not)

Yeah, I'm not really sure what everyone's all broken up about, I think the intro and outro are fine. It's not like they have much to do with telling the story, they're the same damn thing every show anyway.

From reading what everyone says I'm starting to think that voice actor preferences are really a matter of taste. No one is ever going to be fully happy with their choices. Rabid fanboys aside, I think they did an okay job at making Naruto just American enough that American kids will actually watch it without losing the spirit and genius of the original.

I would have to agree, no matter what my 2 brothers say...they are to spoiled by the subbed version to even look at the dubbed version, but I think the voices fit almost flawlessly, so far what ive seen (3 episodes) they were really well done.

It is only natural that the original is best, for everything. For example, Dante's Inferno sounds poetic in the original Italian, but not at all in the english translation.
And really, how can this even roughly match with the character?

Oh please, the dubbing and editing isn't NEARLY as bad as the One Piece one. I was watching them side by side today. They had two lines of smoke coming from Smoker's mouth, but they didn't show his two trademark cigars. It's just ridiculous. BoBoBo wasn't that badly done; they seemed to keep all the jokes and thankfully the opening.

Good point. However, we're talking about animation, and I'm sorry, but the writing for Naruto is not enough of a masterpiece that it's squelched by the dubbing. The animation and action are what counts and those shine through.

If you've not seen how horrible the first season's opening theme is, I guess you can't really complain.

Stemware presents the best point, however, I don't feel that the animation of Naruto is all that spectacular, it's okay, but I've seen a lot better, especially with how at least some of the later episodes just look pretty bad, well not horribly bad, but they aren't all that great.

Not sure if it's the anime being good, but I'm starting to get used to the dubs.

Then again, if we're going to talk about One Piece, the same's already happened there.
