Naruto's US release

[StrawberryInuPie]

:DDDDDD

ILIKEIT.

..No, really, i luff it! ^_^ Overall thoughts:

Good. They pronounced things right, or to me they did. They didn't keep the original themes but..eh, it's getting an uncut release, and Naruto doesn't have my favorite music, so it's ok. ^^ Naruto's voice...eh...it was cuter in the clip. I don't like it all that much...But I don't dislike it. It could've been better, it could've been worse. It's not my favorite voice in the world, but I like it fine and can stand it. ...>_> I seriously cannot stand Luffy's dub voice. *cough* Anyway...From what I heard of Sakura's voice, I liked it. :D ..Did Sasuke talk..? o_O; Um, yeah, overall, it was fine with me! ^-^

Episode 1 thoughts:

:DDDD THEY SAID SEXY JUTSU. YEI~ ♥

...*cough* >><<>>; Now that that's out of my system~

It was slightly different than the manga, I think. :3 My favorite part was the classroom part. Sasuke~ <3 ....So what if he's a angsty bitch. >>; He's my angsty bitch~ :D >><< *cough* Yeah..that was entertaining. Sexy Jutsu= ♥ XDDD

Wow...I was..surprised. They kept in blood! And..violence. And they said die. THEY TALKED ABOUT KILLING :o! Squee~ So yeah, fun. Very nice~ :3

Episode 2:

A DUDE HAS CRISPIN'S VOICE! :DDD Lovely did you hear it? XD

o.o; Return of teh Sexy Jutsu! X3 Hehe..i will laugh everytime they say it, i swear. >>;

I want Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi to come in. ;-; I'm glad they will be next ep. >3

Naruto...makes a cute girl. XD How he defeated the Crispin-voiced guy who's name I forgot was hilarious. xD

One question: Did they keep the original BGM? ..I could've swore i heard some from a cd Mitsukai burned for me..eh..did they?

=3 Hehe, I liked it lots! ^^ I'm so happy it's finally here. >> Now come on Narutards, you have to admit it's at least watchable >P

[Sanji]

Thank the f**king lord, it was decent.

Pros
- All names are kept.
- They got the technique names right.
- Some pretty good voices.
- f**king Sexy no Jutsu is actually naked, I almost died.

Cons
- Shitty Opening
- Some bad pronounciations.
- A few bad voices.

That's it, I'd give it an 8/10, it's pretty good, but could be oh so much better.

[Secretofmana]

Yeah, it was cool.

....

*can't remember anything*

Uh...

Am I the only one who likes the intro? D: *shot*

[Lovely]

Crispin Freeman was in episode 2 ^_______^ .....


*cough*

Sorry.

Uh, lesse. Concerning the show itself: Visual wise, The first episode certainly has a lot of older anime techniques didn't it? I'm speaking of the overuse of speedlines. Ah well.

Ah well, the first episodes are fun, it reminds me of WHY I bought that Naruto plushie way back when . Naruto himself is just a cutie pie ^^.

Somehow, I had TOTALLY forgotten about Naruto's Sexy technique. *chuckles* So THAT was fun.

Concerning potential edits: Blood, the "Kill" word and Sexy Justsu (if anyone complains about the "no" not being in that phrase, please remember that "no" just means "of". It's fine to leave it out...). This show is getting away with a lot. Good times .


Concerning the dubbing: The voices sounded slightly akward to me in the first episode, but it improved with the second.
Concerning the first episode though... "Mizuki" had a sexy voice ^^;. *cough*.

Concerning the second episode, well this episode was very light hearted in general and I think that actors had fun with it.
and also.... Konohamaru's watcher had CRISPIN FREEMAN'S VOICE *fangirls*. *cough* Sorry.
Crispin had fun with his minor role though I think. I heard hints of Albedo in his performance . It was fun seeing Crispin in a goofy part.

Well, that's all the thoughts I have. I haven't seen the original episodes in over two years, so I can't really make any comparisons.
Nothing OUTSTANDING really, but It looks like it might be fun to continue watching this show on the weekends at least.

[yohku]

It was pretty good. Although...to be honest, I don't really like Naruto's voice. I know he's 12 and all...but...It's too high-pitched, and he sounded like a girl at times. In the begining of the first episode, he sounded like he belonged in South Park. ._.;

Yay! Sexy No Jutsu! x3

Ah yes, I forgot to mention this. I actually agree ^^; . I thought she was especially cute when she was actually clothed (wearing Naruto's clothes.)

.... I mean this in a totally heterosexual way. ^^;.

[Innle]

I love Iruka and Mizuki's voices. Naruto's VA seems a bit stilted, but it could just be that it's the first episode and s/he wasn't used to the character yet. Is it just me or did Sakura sound familiar? (Rachael Lillis? But this is west coast! Maybe whoever voiced Kagome?)

Like Sanji said, the opening sucked. (It hurt my ears!) The fact that there were a few mispronouced names and such really didn't bother me... for the most part I made the same mistakes when I was first reading the comic. The fact that the nosebleeds were cut really annoyed me. What, did Iruka just randomly decide to put tissues in his nose after flipping backwards in reaction to Sexy Jutsu?

Well, I'm going off to GAFF to wait for the onrush of fanfiction written by little kids after seeing one episode....

[Keyblade]

Hmmm... I think it's pretty nice. ^w^ But I've only read the manga... which was confinscated... >.>;;;

Naruto's voice reminds me of Spinelli from Recess. o.o

[TakinawaTonfa]

OMFG.....SEXY NO JUTSU!

One question: Did they keep the original BGM? ..I could've swore i heard some from a cd Mitsukai burned for me..eh..did they?

...AND THE ORIGINAL BGM W0000T!

Sans the opening and the ending to the show, but oh well, I really liked the show's insert songs, "Rising Fighting Spirit" in particular (ep.2)

To my surprise, they kept in a lot of the blood, awexomness

Considering the voices, they're good, pretty good. (Is the VA for Konohamaru the same one who was Shippo in Inuyasha?) Quinton Flynn did very well as Iruka. Naruto....was fine, but I think theres room for improvement.

Overall, Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Viz knew what they were dealing with...


*deep breath*...AND I HOPE, THAT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT SOMEONE FROM 4-f**kING-KIDS WAS WATCHING THE SHOW! THAT IS HOW YOU HANDLE A SHOW LIKE NARUTO! THAT IS HOW YOU HANDLE ANIME! THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO WATCH!!!! THAT IS WHAT "ANIME-FANS" WILL BUY DVDS OF!!!!! DRILL THAT INTO YOUR f**kING BRAIN 4KIDS!!!!.....*gasp*

[Ashil]

wow a lot of people commented between the episodes and now.

anyway, yes i agree that naruto's voice sounds a little off, but all in all, i think im hooked ^^

*sexy no jitsu*

Probably not. Inuyasha is an Ocean dub, meaning it was dubbed in Canada. Naruto is a California dub.

[Ashil]

i was wondering the same thing. >__>
he sounded a lot like him. oh well, i tried looking at the credits at the end, but they went to fast and they were kinda hard to read >_<

Oh yeah, I forgot you mentioned that earlier...hee~ ^_^;;

Well they both really sounded alike.

*Looks above at Ashil's pic*

Holy crap, I saw that guy at Otakon!

Sakura is done by Kate Higgins. And Kagome is done by Moneca Stori. So, neither. o-o

EDIT: Oh, And-- Konohamaru is done by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, and Shippou is done by Jillian Michaels. So again, no. Lovely was right.

Can someone please kill the Narutards for me?

Ha ha! I totally agree! (missed dubs due to cableless-ness, freind taped them for me(YES they did, I called them up 2 minutes after the dub started to confirm))

Concerning Akio's pic... LO f**kING L!
