Naruto coming to Cartoon Network?

[Johnny_Storm]

I've heard people mention this show alot around CBR, so I got to looking and I have seen some rumors that Naruto is coming to CN. What show on CN is Naruto best compared to or is it original because I really don't know what to expect, you people just have me excited :) I really hope it's coming it's going to air.

Yes, it premieres on September 10th (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/naruto/index.html).

More details here (http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/7147.html).

I refuse to accept this. I just know they'll butcher it, I JUST KNOW IT!!!

Just like they have every other anime.

The restrictions on anime have loosened up on the Cartoon Network considerably since their first showings of Japanese animation. And considering that Fox, ABC, or any other FCC regulated network hasn't got their hands on the anime first, I think that there is a fairly good chance that most of the original content will be kept in, sans non-comedic nudity, harsh profanity, and sexual situations. Maybe one day, a naked cartoon breast will be shown on a cable show without an uproar or it being shown at 12:00 at night, but at least what's here now is better than what there used to be when they were more prudish. HFIL ring a bell?

Have you even been watching Cartoon Network in the past five years or so?

Or you can say the hell with it, download the fansubs, see it in the original Japanese as it was intended without *ANY* cuts.

Maybe when they start showing things completely uncut, unedited and unmolested in the US, with decent voice actors who can actually act, I might start watching it on CN, but not until then.

[Hiromi]

I won't personally be watching it as sadly it airs during my work shift, though I find myself suprisingly confident it'll be treated decently going from the information on it I've heard thus far. What I'm scared of are the potential flood of fans this will bring in who really don't know much about Naruto in general :/ I shudder for leafninja.com(and if you thought tha fanfiction section for Naruto was bad NOW...)

Second that.

I don't remember any naked breasts in the first couple episodes of Naruto I've seen. As far as I remember there was a cloud covering the sentive parts whenever he did that whole chick jutsu thing.

After seeing Samurai Champloo, I think cartoon network shows everything that's relevant to the story.

Champloo is on Adult Swim, which has a completely different set of standards that Toonami has.

It's good for Eva (which will air on AS) but Naruto's going to Toonami.

And, except for that one Outlaw Star episode on the hot springs planet and early DBZ, NONE of the shows aired on Toonami have EVER had ANYTHING removed that's relevant to the story!

...well, I don't know about Duel Masters, Rave Master or anything with 'Gundam' in the name, but I'm certain on everything else. Naruto will be fine on Toonami. Is it that freaking much to lose a few splashes of blood?

Oh, I'm very confident that Doraemon Runchuboxu No Jutsu won't be showing up anytime soon.

There is no instance of a female's "buisness parts" being shown in the entirety of Naruto other than a rear end somewhere in season 2 I believe.

What makes you think the voice actors won't be good?

[Hiromi]

If anything the VAs I've seen signed up make me think the voice acting will be good if not excellent as far as dubs go.
