This is actually a pretty sweet deal for Viz. They probably stand to gain some new viewers by doing this. The only downside is that the edits to the show are going to be a bit more extensive.

[NeoStar9X]

If there are edits at all. Disney XD isn't Disney proper as it's meant for a more older audience, also the male demographic. Don't see why they would edit the show if it aired at a certain time slot. Put up the proper warnings before the show and Disney is covered. They are trying to attract more male viewers so editing the show on a channel meant to do that would seem to be counterproductive.

[Rod G]

I wonder . . .




I never got to watch the remaining episodes of the first series and it doesn't look like CN plans to show them.



(Before somebody out there starts any rants,I don't mind or care if it's filler,once it's shown on tv,it's canon for all practical purposes.)

[Kusanagi]

I never got why CN dumped Naruto in the first place, wasn't it nabbing them good ratings. I've heard the higher ups didn't like anime and canceled it despite good ratings, but always thought that explanation was too stupid to be real.

Several anime voice actors confirmed that there were higher ups at CN who hated anime in a way that made it disturbing to work with them/talk with them. Apparently that fact was at least partially responsible for CN restructuring its programming to largely get rid of its dozen-some-odd non-AS anime programs. I think they still show Bakugan and stuff like that in the mornings, but yeah Naruto was gaining enough ratings that I guess they held on to it until they came within like 5 episodes of the end of it. But now its gone, not even in repeats as far as I'm aware.

Sounds like they are going for Shippuden...not sure when or if they'll show repeats, but officially licensed broadcasts of all 220 episodes are available on Hulu, or can be streamed from Hulu at animenewsnetwork.com, provided that you don't mind subs.

Now if only Disney XD would pick up One Piece.:wink: :wink:

Never understimate the idiocy of TV executives.

[Rod G]

I'm amazed you folks are taking this very well . . .

Over at Anime News Network,the reaction at the Talkback Forum has been overwhelmingly negative,what with talks of censorship and how Shipudden should have been on Adult Swim . . .

. . . you get the idea.

it was pertty much filler

Have you read my post?

Filler or not,once it's on tv,it's practically canon.Tv canon may or may not be the same as manga canon,but . . .

I don't suppose anyone can offer any input?

[Hazard]

I don't suppose anyone can offer any input?

Well, I think this is a smart choice on Disney's part. They are exploring the market using an anime that is known to have a very solid fandom in america. Depending on how it does Disney may decide to show other anime. Which would be good I think.

I'm surprised that folks here are excited.


Particularly when you consider the vitriolic negativity elsewhere . . .

[DeadXMan]

cause Disney isn't 4 kids.

So is funimation doing the voice work?

[Rod G]

1.Who cares if they are or not?



2.Funimation isn't handling the dub.

[OverMaster]

I'm surprised that folks here are excited.


Particularly when you consider the vitriolic negativity elsewhere . . .

Now let's be honest here. You are just trying to fish around for angry reactions so you can get yourself a debate, right?

[1505627]

does anyone know when it airs

[Rod G]

October,if I'm not mistaken.

[Len Ikari145]

1.Who cares if they are or not?


Well, let's see: 4kids is the most abominable dubbing company on the face of the planet(second only to the company that localized the game, Chaos Wars) who are convinced that all animation in general is meant for children.

While Disney has a history of being decidedly more lenient in towards darker themes that operate beyond their normal demographic(City of Atlantis, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc). Digimon Frontier and Savers are good testaments that while they may edit certain material, they do it within reason without butchering the plot and the characters.

And as others have mentioned, just look at Kingdom Hearts.

Really, I don't see Naruto or Shippuden being treated any differently than it was on CN and Jetstream.

[Rod G]

Deviate from topics much,Len?

[Zero Hunter]

I'm amazed you folks are taking this very well . . .

Over at Anime News Network,the reaction at the Talkback Forum has been overwhelmingly negative,what with talks of censorship and how Shipudden should have been on Adult Swim . . .

. . . you get the idea.

Only problem with it being on Adult Swim is that it was never going to happen. Not as long as they have Family guy, King of the Hill, and Futurama reruns to fill up most of their block.

That and the fact that Cartoon Network hates most anime anymore with a few exceptions.

As for if its a good thing for it to be on Disney sure even if it is edited. That just means sooner or latter they will do an unedited version for DVD with the english dub so everyone wins.

[OverMaster]

Deviate from topics much,Len?

No, I don't think so.

I'm actually puzzled about why you seem to want to put the discussion on a particular rails so much.

[Len Ikari145]

Deviate from topics much,Len?

Only when I'm feeling facetious(which you can indicate that I'm not in this case). And considering the underlying intent behind this topic, I don't think you want to go there.

[Rod G]

I believe the point was whether or it was better for NS to be at Disney XD than Cartoon Network.


I'm okay with these replies,such as they are.

[Len Ikari145]

And my reply was relevent to the inquiry. Not in the context of whether it would be "better" on either DSXD, but it would receive similar treatment that CN gave to it. So again, where did I deviate from the sub-topic?

Besides, you kinda inferred that there would be no difference between 4kids and Disney's treatment towards anime, and I addressed it.

Not to mention he isn't even the thread starter. If anyone should be judging on the direction it's taking, that's Otaku-Man X.

I merely adressed that most of the posters on ANN tended to be an unpleasable fanbase regarding NS on Disney XD.

LOL nice post about 4kids and its nice to finally see people thinking that Naruto Ship on disney may not half a half bad idea! Almost every other place i go to gives dis the 5th degree when there is an actually solid chance that not too much will be changed.

and considering Viz media is doing the voice work likely there will be 2 version like they did when it aired on CN with the whole Sake being turned into Elixir or the LOOPY fist from the drunken fist....

Anime New Network's forum is always like that from what I can tell. All doom and gloom. Always jumping to illogical conclusions with no facts or even hints to back up claims.

Some people have this weird hate for Disney so they can do nothing right. Disney does do some weird and perhaps stupid things but they do a lot more right. They are trying to do something very specific regarding capturing the male teen and young adult audience. Marvel, Naruto, Disney XD, etc. They aren't doing to do anything that is counterproductive.

It's like when people here started acting stupid with talk about Donald Duck and Wolverine crossovers when it was announced that Disney was going to buy Marvel. People like that should be ignored for the most part I find.

PS if you have any more questions just quote me and i'll be sure to come back and do my best to answer

[Devil_LeonX]

I was just wondering if anyone notice ANY of the BIG F^&* edits Disney was gonna do to the show. Fortunately almost nothing has changed though that isn't to say there were not ANY EDITS i notice or catched 2 changes.

1.In the first ep, the entire scene where Sasuke takes out his sword and is attempts to Stab Naruto as he is holding him, instead we only see Sakura gasp and Sasuke an Naruto's do this quick eye thing typical in making something seem dramatic.

2.They will NOT say KILL AT ALL, death is OK but not the K word instead they use DESTROY.

Anyone noticed anything else?

"cutie jutsu"


nuff said.

[NeoStar9X]

Okay before anyone really starts going off the rails everyone needs to stop and look at how original Naruto series was dubbed and compare the two. If you find the same things done there (when it was simply on Cartoon Network) and also check the dub on the uncut dvds then you need to drop the Disney hate.

[betrayed]

"cutie jutsu"


nuff said.

Actually, I believe it was "hottie jutsu" and while it's a little lame, that's a pretty minor gripe. All in all I'd say it was definitely watchable and above average considering it's being aired on television.

no. it was cutie jutsu. i watched the ep twice. its almost as bad as 4kids.


almost.

[NeoStar9X]

Again understand who is doing the dub and edits. It isn't Disney. They are simply airing the show.

[betrayed]

no. it was cutie jutsu. i watched the ep twice. its almost as bad as 4kids.


almost.

My mistake then. However, don't feel like that's a bit of an exageration? Almost as bad as 4kids?? Really? Come on now. There wasn't THAT much changed. And the truth is, you have to kind of expect SOME changes for mass consumption. My thought has always been that if I don't like it, I can very easily find some decent subs out there. I'm not saying this is perfect, but it's paletble.(sp?)

[Hazard]

no. it was cutie jutsu. i watched the ep twice. its almost as bad as 4kids.


almost.

I am going to have to disagree with you there. 4kids changed guns into invisible guns and worse guns into WATER GUNS. The edits here are somewhat passable and understandable.

[Legato]

no. it was cutie jutsu. i watched the ep twice. its almost as bad as 4kids.


almost.

They have been more easy going on the edits than 4Kids ever have been.

They didn't completly edit out the violence to the point that it makes the action in Naruto less enjoyable.

Just because it's on Disney doesn't mean we should automatically assume it will get the 4Kids treatment. So far thare is no signs of it

[Rod G]

guns into WATER GUNS.




Curiously enough,these so-called "Water guns" fired buckshots,believe it or not.


Face it,the FCC frowns on realistic looking weapons on a kids' morning timeslot.I don't know how relaxed the FCC's standards are these days, but . . .

[The Dog]

I am going to have to disagree with you there. 4kids changed guns into invisible guns and worse guns into WATER GUNS. The edits here are somewhat passable and understandable.

What about changing Helmeppo's gun into some kind of spring-loaded... hammer... thing during the Morgan Arc.

[DeadXMan]

really, your up in arms about using a real word instead of slang?

come back when they photoshop mallet guns into there hands.

You have no idea how long I have been waiting to do that.:biggrin:

[Kevin M.]

The dub isn't that bad.

Besides some minor edits, it's pretty much like the original uncut episode.

[Nevets F]

While I will always prefer the original japanese versions, I think this was actually pretty well done. There were of course changes, but no more than would have been seen on Cartoon Network. For that matter, there was probably less than would have been on Cartoon Network.

I think Disney XD has a good thing here, and I hope it becomes something great for both Disney, and Naruto in the US.

[Robotech Master]

The edits definately aren't too bad.

However, my dissapointment stems from a comparison to the Naruto Dubs, not the original Japanese.

We've had 120+ episodes of dubbed Naruto continuity say "Sexy Jutsu," and have no problems with the words kill, etc.

Heck, when Naruto was first airing, there were a number of welcome changes to the way Anime was edited for tv. Yes, they all still had edits, but they were all very understandable. Meanwhile, they retained sexual humor (Jiraiya talking about 'melons' and trying to peek on women in the bath were all in the televised dub, as was Master Roshi wigging out on the Panties in a lingerie store in the televised dub of Dragonball).

Really, I'm not all that worried about what it will be like compared to the original, I'm just worried about a discontinuity of style between this broadcast and the broadcast for part 1.

i can see where your coming from RB, let just hope it gets better then worse as more new eps are shown plus in a few ways it was better then the CN version i think someone mentioned that they actually showed the original intro which took CN a WHILE to do though sadly the original credits still didn't get shown...oh well.

no one was that mad when funimation tok over one peice or DBZ.

[1505627]

no one was that mad when funimation tok over one peice or DBZ.

in one piece's case, it was because the first company was 4kids

[DeadXMan]

true but before animation took over DBZ

it editing was just as bad with characters getting blasted into another dimension, and seeing parachutes and such

[Robotech Master]

no one was that mad when funimation tok over one peice or DBZ.

Funimations handling of DBZ and One Piece can't be compared.

2001+ Funimation >>>>>> 90's Funimation

Hell, Funimations the company responsible for the awesome Full Metal Alchemist dub, and is currently one of the most trusted distributors of Anime in America after maybe Bandai or Viz.

[Kyle_Ion]

I don't like Naruto but Gaara on the other hand, I like. I like gaara because I like the idea of him using sand to fight

and who is doing Shippution?

Viz even said the edits are no more then when they edited for CN.

[Robotech Master]

and who is doing Shippution?

You're missing the point. I only defended why people weren't upset when Funimation took over One Piece. Public opinion of Funimation is high these days.

But just because a company has had a good record doesn't mean they won't sometimes do more with their tv version edits than they even needed to. In this case, its rarely ever CN's or Disney's fault at all. Blue Gender for instance, was well handled in the DVD market by Funimation, but Funimation edited it significantly beneath Adult Swim standards (compared to other Adult Swim shows). Adult Swim staff even wondered why they did that, but they said that was how they received it from them. Sometimes it just happens that way.

Honestly, I don't give a rats ass about the fact that any anime is edited. I've watched edited anime all the time on tv. As long as the edits make sense and aren't changing the show (a la 4 kids stuff), and as long as they remain consistent. Inconsistency in their own editing annoys me.

So in other words, I'm only worried about the fact that Viz IS doing things differently now. And they *ARE*. I don't care what Viz 'says' they are doing. I've watched every dubbed episode of Naruto on CN. They're not doing the same.

I've watched the episodes that aired on Disney and I think its pretty good (wish they would have stuck to whoever did Deidara in the last episode of part 1, but otherwise, so far so good). It just unnerves me that Viz, who for 160 episodes said "Sexy Jutsu" and showed people hold Kunai to each others throats, would start up Shippuden with "Cutie Jutsu" and be suddenly afraid of showing someone draw a Katana near someone's neck.

And that's it overall. Everything else is cool.
