Watched the first two episodes of Naruto. Well...it's not the best, but it could've been very very bad, and it wasn't. I'm glad of that.

Though, I still think the best voice was Ebisu-sensei's (Konohamaru's teacher). Crispin Freeman does an awesome job, as usual.I am not a Crispin Freeman fangirl. -_-;

Well it wasn't the horrible, smelly pile of excrement I thought it would be. It was definitely better than the One Piece and Shaman King dubs. Hell they even kept some of the oringinal soundtrack.

I have to praise them for leaving "Genin", "Jonin", "Hokage", "jutsu", and, presumably, "Chunin" alone. They also did a decent job translating jutsus.

I must ask, though, did Naruto say "Believe it!" so often in the Japanese dub?

EDIT: Oh, and SABB's conerns about the chakra joke were unneeded--
"First, you gotta know about cat-tra"
"Uh, don't you mean 'chakra?'"
"Don't question me! And all the cool ninja say 'cat-tra!'"

Kakashi of the NPF, Blum will be Zabusa. EDIT: And, like the jonin you are, you ninja edited me

Yeah, I was pleased how they kept the terms for the most part... even if some were mispronounced. But hey, I can't expect perfection. Not yet. As for the "Believe it" phrase, I don't recall that being in there half as much as "I'm incredible!" and "Baka!"

How I do miss that..

And for the record... One Piece, at least the dubbed version that I've seen... sucks ASS.

well blood was in there (though greatly reduced) and they even said things like kill and die (be suprised how rare that is). Voice acting was decent. Not great, but most are atleast tolerable. Lord Hokage (no freaking clue how to spell it) was perfect so he offset Naruto's.

So you know One Piece and Shaman King sucked because of 4kids. Everything they touch is a mutalated perverted mockery of what it once was.

All in all, it wasn't the edits that got me it was the show itself. Something just felt off and the sound effects were lame. Just doesn't seem to translate well from the manga (granted this is manga to edited so cant say for sure). Then again I was never a huge Naruto fan, its good but not great in my opinion. Hope things pick up.

...I am so gonna get flamed for that last paragraph

Well, me never having read the manga, or seen it elsewhere, thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it to be very humorous, and I'm now addicted only after seeing two episodes. I find the voice actors to be charming, for lack of a better word.
