What, no Haku? ^_^ the VAs look pretty good! I think Naruto's VA also did Vash from Trigun.  

[Menzeeto]

Lemme see here...

- Spike as Zabuza? Freaking awesome.
- Raiden as Iruka? Priceless rofl
- The better old version of Mikey as Chouji? Perfection.
- Old ugly lady as Naruto? Nearly as creepy as the ugly old lady who did Kaolla.  

[Camui]

Well well, what do we have heeeeerreee? ^^

Just a few small things today...

First off, i want to wish a VERY happy 2nd birthday to the Naruto Fan website (my personal favorite XD ), and thanks very much to Tazmo for creating it and bringing so much Naruto-fandom-goodness to all us fans!! ^^

Second of all, Chapter 273 is up and out in RAW form... expect the scanlated version to be available soon!! ^^

Also, if you all hadn't noticed yet on CN, there's a commerical featuring some of the new things coming to Cartoon Network... one, of which, being Naruto.. where, you can hear a one second clip of Naruto's VA, a Miss Maile Flanagan, says 'What is this?'!! You can download it from the Naruto Fan website or watch CN during the day and try to catch it! ^^

And, speaking of Miss Maile Flanagan, members and others can send an email to a special email address with an question or questions they may have for her! ^^ So, if you've got a question, be sure to send it out ASAP! So, thanks very much to the people at NarutoFan for helping set this up, and thank you to Miss Flanagan for allowing the interview!! ^^

Ok, that's it, you guys! Until next time!!

Hello, all you Naruto Fans out there! ^^

Small update today!!

And, also, for everyone subscribed to TiVo, they have the first two Naruto episodes listed on schedule already! XDD All you people will be happy to know that he episode titles have NOT changed, save for the names being put in to standard first name followed by last name form.

OK, that's all! Have a good week, everyone!!

[Camui]

Ahhhh, another week, another set of small updates!! ^^

First off, if no one has noticed yet, Cartoon Network has provided a small 30-second video-clip of the dubbed version of Naruto! It features the confrontation in the first episode between Naruto, Iruka, and Mizuki! ^^

You can go see it here: http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/video/toonami/index.html .It is the top clip.

(NOTE: I have provided a list of names of 15 of the Naruto VA that VIZ OFFICIALLY released, and an example of their work on the previous page, if you're curious as to who is who and etc.)

Also, Chapter 274 is available in RAW form for your viewing pleasure. ^^

Finally, this week, there will be NO NEW NARUTO Episode. ^^ Why? I''m not quite sure.

OH!, and just a reminder to those who care, the first two episodes of Naruto Dubbed are going to be shown this week, 9PM Eastern and Pacific! Be sure to check your local listings for the time slots in your area. ^^

Ahhh, so that''s it! Enjoy your four-day week!

Oh my god....I think i'm going to die.

Their pronounciations are HORRIBLE but the voices are ok. They pronounce Naruto in such a way I cringe to hear it, and the way Iruka said jutsu...holy s**t. I'm absolutly disgusted, do these people NOT listen to the japanese voices first? So they can understand the way to say it gonk  

[Windblade]

Obviosuly not ~_~

I'ma die from how they said Naruto...or kill them...yes...that's the wya...heh..hehe...hehehehehehehheheheheheMWAHAHZAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA twisted twisted twisted twisted twisted twisted twisted twisted  

[Fangorn23]

um I just heard some disturbing and conflicting news about the voice actor who will do the voice of Uzumaki Naruto. I read on someone's LJ that Naruto will be voiced by Veronica Taylor (the voice of Ash from Pokemon on tv in the US).
link to that LJ where I got the news: http://www.livejournal.com/users/krakensghost/

so...what's the truth here? confused who's doing the voice?

agree with that tottaly... gonk they really are gonna kill the show...and I was hopeful! I shall tape it on saturday, criticise it, and then watch my japanese dvds! whee  

[Reticence]

Now my friends will understand why I wrote a petition to the distributors of the American Naruto~
I seriously think that I will be sick sooner or later... And it comes out on my birthday. How. Lovely T__T
 

[[Solid]]

The clip looks great!!!!!!!!! I'm glad they are useing the original Japanese and saying jutsu instead of technique!! biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin
They say Naruto the way they said it in the original Japanese to! mrgreen
instead of Nayrootoe xd  

[NeoNexus]

Wow...that's all I have to say. Well alright, not the only thing. Just how lazy are those American dubbers? They couldn't have found better voices, huh? Iruka-sensei sounds...well...normal. Average. Nothing special. Naruto is very kid-like, but I suppose that's alright considering his age in the anime. Though I will agree, when they say his name, it's...well, let's just say the Japanese should be the only ones to say Naruto like that.

At least they did a slightly better job with this than they did with poor Rockman.EXE (Megaman NT Warrior for those of you not in the know) Yup, same company, ShoPro.

Maybe we should start a petition that prohibits ShoPro from ever touching another anime ever again? That's what I think.  

[Camui]

Well, after several days of the Guild System being disabled, we are FINALLY back in business! YAAAYY!! ^^

(And, until i can get the Thread Headline changed, you can locate the actual news posts in here by the 'ornate' posts. ^^)

And, a lot has happened while everyone's been gone...

First off, the Naruto Dub premiered in Canada this week, while it premiered last week for US residents! The result was a mix of opinions, with quite a few positive ones, a couple negative ones, and a few going 'i'm not suuuurreee'... what's YOUR opinion? Let it be known in the Naruto Dub thread, located here: Naruto Dub Opinions

Next! Chapter 274, 'A Dream Unrealized', as well as the past previous chapters, have all been released in both RAW form, as well as (after a quite a long while) Shannaro's scanlation, so thanks very much to them!! ^^ Both Chapters 275 and 276, however, are still in RAW form, expected to be translated sometime later this coming week!

Moving on, Episode 151, 'Burning Byakugan! This is My Way of the Ninja' featuring one of the sweetest kunoichi (and one of my favorite characters to cosplay, personally) to ever live in Konoha, Hyuuga Hinata, is now up in both RAW and Subbed, thanks to Dattebayo! Head on over to NarutoFan or Dattebayo's website to give it a download! It's an AWESOME episode!

And, finally, for those of you who are interested, 'Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3' has been announced for the PS2 to be released some time this winter!

Ok, then, that's it! Welcome back, fellow Naruto Fans, and enjoy your day! ^^
