Viz Unlicenses Naruto 3.1.05

In a stunning announcement, Viz/ShoPro Entertainment revealed its plans to sell the the North American television, home video, and merchandising rights to Naruto back to it original licensors, TV Tokyo and Shueisha Inc. "We began to feel uncomfortable with the idea of making piles of cash from the show," a Viz representative told ANN. "After several parent advocacy groups showed us the error of our ways, we felt it was the only logical decision." ANN also contacted Cartoon Network, which had planned to broadcast Naruto later this year.

"Thank God, I can use my mailbox again," said an executive VP at the network. "Within minutes of our broadcast announcement, we were flooded with thousands of e-mails claiming to be from enraged mothers." "They were all the same. 'Naruto Uzumaki, he's a mischievous little brat!' 'By choosing to broadcast this show, you are directly responsible for the moral decline of our country's youth.' They said I would rot in hell, and that my family would face eternal damnation if I allowed Naruto to reach American airwaves." When asked how this would impact their licensing plans for 2005, the Viz representative gave another stunning response. "With California's new stem cell initiative and the breakthroughs at Johns Hopkins in placing human stem cells in rats, we asked ourselves: why not hamsters? Imagine, a real-life talking hamster! That would shut up all those folks who keep mocking Hamtaro."

Since when has anybody cared what parents though when releasing a show? For god's sake Akira is much more disturbing than Naruto and it's one of the biggest anime releases we've seen (I believe). If the companies sold the rights to shows every time a mother bitched, we would never have beenaddicted to anime in the first place....still determining whether that's a bad thing or not ninja

Naruto should stay in japan. Stupid dubbed american version would just screw up an already great series.  

[[Shikamaru]]

I hate dubbed versions scream  

[Glow Stick Mosh Pit]

I kinda wish it comes to America.. ((I've watched the subbs and I'm in love with them))

But They already got the licence for it to be put in America so I say why shouldn't it be here?

Yusea

Actually it is in the America and its gonna premiere on Cartoon Network (though I kinda wish it doesnt T___T) They already ruined the summary of the anime!!! D:  

[Orchionecrosis]

In a way I hope its true. We tend to screw up anime series when it comes to english. Its probably going to be watered down beyond recognition. There is a good chance that it would be better to watch the english subtitled version than to watck the mutalated version of one of my favorite mangas.

it is coming to toonaim on cartoon network on september 10

I hope it's only a joke.
