Why Cartoon Network?

Why Cartoon Network?

For true anime lovers out: Believe it or not, Naruto will be broadcasted on Cartoon Network in quarter 3. Woohoo I'm guessing most of you are probably going, eh? Yah, I'm am TOTALLY AGAINST IT. Why? Cartoon Network rips every single American who watches TV Cable way too much from an actual anime. They just going to butcher it and leave it out for Americans. I'd like to know your opinions even if you don't like anime or just plain Naruto itself Oh wait, the butchering pretty much applies to every anime.

We have cable here at home & we have that channel but Im totally against broadcasting the program in that channel coz I might not be able to watch it coz the the cable company we had subscribed here shift that channel into PINOY MOVIES starting evry 6.00pm. I would like that AXN animax will broadcast that program & AXN should broadcast all the animes. What do you think?

Agreed. I wished there was an anime channel, but looks like America ain't going to like us Asians (not that I'm saying they'r racist.) Sure they want to censor all that stuff not appropriate to children, but even if it were on adult swim, it still not right.

And btw, I'm waiting on satomi's opinion on this one.

Surely he shall make reply on this asap. I just envy VG living in japan coz he can watch those amazing japanese animes. Too bad we dont have everything here in our place... Hmm.. I already missed those ghost fighter that made me to come home early during my high school days & also the awesometastic hunterxhunter.

Whee, yet another anime to be slaughtered!

Which is why I read manga. I only watch a little anime. But I thought there was an actual anime channel...I remember seeing something about it on my new Saiyuki dvd...I'll check that out.

Unfortunately in my case, manga cant satisfy my thirsty eye & hungry ears. Besides, mangas are too expensive for me because they are not made from here. I think when I will read these stuffs, they will just fuel my desire to watch more animes where & when there is none.

well, i'm not that big of an anime fan so i could care less... i still like anime though, but from the butchering i just stopped watching.

Cartoon Network don't ruin anime

Thats up the dubbers

Heh, I'll bet you a whole lot. DBZ (no I'm not a DBZ fan) was edited since there was a lot more violent scenes. And I have seen it myself, so don't think I've watched actual anime ever. So yes DBZ might've been much more exciting.

I'm not too big a fan of Naruto, but watching any anime get butchered is an insult to American audiences. But I will say this:

The Cartoon Network COULD BE WORSE

If you truly wanbt to see anime butchered at its fullest, watch fox kids WB or anything released by nelvana . One of my favorite series, Vision of Escaflowne, perhaps one of the greatest series around, was horribly edited. Luckely I already had the whole series on DVD unedited, but all those who were unfamiliar with the series were introduced to a travesty.

And, of course, probably the most famous and controversial butchering of all time: Cardcaptor Sakura (another fav of mine). They took the anime series, changed all the names of the characters to "Americanized" names, changed the locations so it didnt even take place in Japan anymore, but some anonymous place in Amierica, CHANGED THE MAIN CHARACTER for the sole purpose of CHANGING THE TARGET AUDIENCE...changed the relationships between all the characters (i.e. the love tiangles were all eliminated). They took a lighthearted romance comedy/advanture anime and turned it into a cheap "gotta catch'em all" pokemon ripoff. At LEAST they had the decency to change the title so it was no longer associated with the original, calling it "cardcaptors" instead. Anime fans boycotted Nelvana unsuccessfully after that.

Cartoon network has never gone that far, so I wouldnt worry so much about Naruto. They will, of course, edit out blood, language, and (which naruto doesnt have) nudity. Its not my fav, but its not a bad series....1000% better then DBZ, which in my opinion gave all anime a bad name, even in its unedited format.

To my recollection, I have seen vision of escoflowne in AXN but the whole series were not continued & i dont know what is the reason & many of the animes being broadcast in this channel are not actually being continued like the Rave. Though I watch cardcaptor sakura being dubbed in our language but i am not really fond of it coz they are really for children. I think those channels whose intention are to broadcast programs for general patronage should not accept animes that has nudity but can be justified instead they should let other channels handle them. I think we should all watch BUBU CHACHA in disney channel when there are new episodes being released.

Dubbers are the ones who change the japanese text into the english version

Cartoon Network wouldn't know how to change japanese if you smacked them in the face with a dictionary of it

Kids WB and Fox Kids just gets different anime. With different dubbers. Different company, different standards. Personaly, I blame 4Kids. Corse, I blame that GAWD AWFUL dubbing company for EVERYTHING

Now, if 4Kids got their hands on Naruto, I will cry myself to sleep. They would remove EVERY refrence of blood from it. Like I said, Cartoon Network don't dub. 4Kids does. They did Pokemon, Megaman NT Warrior (At least they changed the name so it won't get associated with the somewhat BETTER EXE series. Yeah, I just called the EXE series better than something. Therefore, that something sucks) and other random things. No one likes them

You think YOU got it bad? Try living in the Netherlands. They are going to completely translate Naruto into DUTCH. If there's anything more horrible a language to watch an anime in, it'd be german.

Know what they're gonna call it?

No?

Wanna know?





I'll tell you.







They are going to call it...

















NARUTO EN DE REUSACHTIGE MONSTER VOS.

Now of course you do not understand dutch, otherwise I'd have you vomiting up your bowels. So I'll translate it back to english, even though that doesn't do its' horribleness (new word?) justice.

translated, the title of the dutch version of Naruto in english would be:

"Naruto, and the giant fox monster."




HURRAY. /homicide

Yeah, I hear Europe gets the *** end of everything in regards to anime. That's too bad...

Dutch, in my opinon, has never been a "pretty" or graceful European language to listen to, unlike French or Spanish (Spain ver, not Mexican) or even German...
