I was expecting this. It's a pretty good show, the FUNI people probably liked the crowd reaction to it at AnimeFEST....

Guess the crowd reaction to Naruto is still too lame to license.

i thought the main problem with Naruto was that so many people wanted it no-one has been able to get it to licence yet...if anything it's too popular...

but then again i may just be hearing some dumbass unture rumor...
