I don't why he would believe such crap??... oh well, a lot of us sometimes get misinformed.

Yes!! Another person that hates Inuyasha!! Yeah, they should've changed the name of Inuyasha to "Crazy Grey Haired Geezer" and aired it on the 4kids channel thingy. For some reason I still think people will like the show though, especially since I can't understand why they like that repetive crap right now.

OK enough arguing. I don't want this topic to get off topic

OK then

I felt like a big boulder was lifted off my shoulders when I heard it was licensed while all the downloaders on a whole bunch of Naruto sites were pissed. About 99% of them too. Stupid anime noobs. Why can't they realize how great it would be to walk down the street and hear a 7 year old yell out "Kage Bunshin NO Jutsu!!"..... or actually shadow doppleganger since they'll probably change it to that in the dubs.

I'm glad its been liscened, region 1 DVDs mean cheaper, hassle free source footage. There's no way I'm shelling out for the whole series, but I'll probably pick up a few of my favorite episodes, like I'm doing with dbz. I really don't care one way or the other about dub quality, however. I've been watching in Japanese for this long, I'm not going to stop now. None of the characters would sound right if I did.

Hearing this made me die a little inside. The story is getting incresingly interesting and it will probably be about 4 or 5 years until they get to the point in the series they're in right now. Not to mention that all the good fansubbers will stop what they are doing or go underground (although AonE might hang on i hear). The one thing i guess i can be happy about it that my little brother who absolutely loves the series will not only have seen over a hundred episodes prior to it's release (more likely 150) and will be a little Naruto know-it-all that can provide copious amounts of spoilers for all...

Honestly, that's the dilemma I'm having right now with Naruto as well. On the one hand, I want to do the ethical thing and stop watching it now that it's licensed. On the other hand, 4 or 5 years to get to the point we are at now is a LONG time and I will almost undoubtedly not give 2 craps about Naruto anymore by the time that comes around, especially factoring in that it's not really as great, in my opinion, as so many fanboys would have you believe. I'd like to finish it, but we'll just have to wait and see how it shakes out.

Well as of now it hasn't been licensed by anyone. ShoPro has only obtained the rights to license it. Though now it will be more likely to be licensed especially by Viz whom they are to merge with.

So as of now there is no licensed Naruto but that can very well change at any moment.

Correction I meant they have the rights to license the anime out. This is something that Angel said on the first page I believe. So everyone can calm down for a bit.

According to Animation Insider, Naruto will premiere in the third quarter on Cartoon Network. What's even more surprising is that Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo is going to be on Cartoon Network as well.

Who the hell licensed Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo?!
