Disney XD abduction of Naruto

**Oden** · 11-04-2009, 03:35 AM

I realize that it is sort of old news but is anyone out there just pissed off that the english dub episodes of shippuden are on disney XD and not on a network that will do the series some justice! Seriously I hate watching "tampered tv" and adultswim used to be awesome b/c it pushes the limit of what is viewable. There seriously needs to be a network out there that will put out television shows out for the 14 - 28 male demographic that will put out a show as it was meant to be seen. In addition, they already purchased Marvel so they should have no trouble making that happen and filing it up with shows.

I am starting to wonder if it just a marketing scheme for the DVD sales so they can release uncut versions or if they really just enjoy watering down TV! Disney should just make a whole channel that would steal adultswim's demographic and put me in charge b/c this is getting ridiculous. I love anime and I am glad that it is more successful in the united states but I wish it was still underground and not so mainstream, perhaps then networks would not be trying to water it down so much.

It may be a watered down/edited version of naruto.

I understand you mean that you would like naruto to be underground but really naruto is already mainstream quit a lot of people know what it is. Not as much as Dragon ball but its still mainstream.

Being on Naruto is a good thing its advertising for naruto and more people will be buying the games/the series on dvd. A lot of people dont realise that naruto doesnt have a big budget. Such as Inuyasha and the ratings went down due to the heavy amount of filler and the anime ended becuase they didnt get enough viwers and people buying the dvds.

sorry went a little off topic there xD

I, for one, can't stand it. I've just decided not to watch it all together. soon as I heard Kakashi's voice I changed the channel.smh I just don't understand why they didn't put it on adult swim. Bleach & Naruto back to back every saturdays would of made major views.

im dissapointed. what they need to do is keep it in japanese and subtitles. thats what would keep it awesome. its not that networks like to water down series, its just thats what gets ratings...is shows that people watch.

I'm not sure about it yet... I just recently found out about it earlier today.. I'm going to head to disney XD and check what all the fuss is about.

**Takeo** · 11-19-2009, 07:46 PM

Meh, just checked out episode 4 dubbed. I don't think the voices are TOO bad...

cept deidara....gaara....kakashi.... naruto... oh hell, who am I kidding? I wanted to rip my ears off after the first minute -.-

It does kind of annoy me how much they seemed to butcher Shippuden on Disney XD. Ignoring this fact, it has already become one of their most popular shows. I think I'll just stick to my japanese versions, at least until I can get the uncut english box sets.

**Blueice547** · 11-27-2009, 06:01 PM

Only way to go is the japanese version. Since there never is a 100% clear translation between language...People ask me though how I can read subtitles and watch something at the same time...sad isnt it? Cause its not really that hard haha.

I agree with the Adult Swim thing, they have their anime monday's too, you could easily have nartuo and bleach on there. Replace some of the crap on there.

What time does it come on? I live in england so it is not on tv right now.

**Sin** · 11-30-2009, 02:38 PM

Its not on in the uk -_-

**Degrees** · 11-30-2009, 03:29 PM

Yeah it's not on over here anymore & the last time I watched it on tv, Neji was still fighting Kidimaru & it just stop airing. I thought since they changed the name from jetix to disney XD it might come back.

**Sin** · 11-30-2009, 05:07 PM

...I didn't even get that far, it just kept repeating for me... from idate at a bit before te last bit in that arc, to the chunnin exams...

I stop watching the dubs for awhile, but I have the series on dvd up to series 6 which starts the horriable fillers but I will start buying them to.

The dvd is called naruto unleashed, it contains 13 episodes on 3 disks sold together in 1 case, which is half a series. Series 7 has come out.

**Blueice547** · 11-30-2009, 08:55 PM

Why buy them when you can watch them free on the internet?
