Okay, the official Cartoon Network preview is up for Naruto. You can download it from Narutofan.com All in all, it's not as bad as it could have been...but it's still pretty lame... mind you, Naruto is a hard series to summarize briefly and still be awesome about it. Anime North, one of Toronto's biggest anime events has come and gone, and some tidbits of news along with it. Steve Blum (of Spike Spiegel fame) is going to voice the ever popular Hayete Kakashi! Not a bad choice, personally I'd have prefered Crispin Freeman (who did Amon from Witch Hunter Robin. Vic Mignogna (Edward Elric from FMA) has said he's pursuing a role in Naruto as well (let's just hope he doesn't do Naruto-kun ^^;  The ever lovable Scott McNiel (Piccallo, Duo Maxwell, Master Roshi, etc) hasn't denied that he's part of the cast as well. So anything goes with him. Also, the voice of Naruto has been cast. Who it is is still a mystery. Everybody look into it! |

Yeah. Me too. It did seem kinda lame... but, oh well.
I have to say I'm quite happy with Blum as Kakashi. I liked Spike's voice, so perhaps if Blum uses a similar voice for Kakashi, it could work.
Although. NA-ROOOOO-TOE!!! GARRR. lol

Well I wouldn't get too disscouraged by this little clip, I've noticed in the past that the announcer guy who did that little snippet completely fails at pronouncing titles and names. There is still hope for the Anime. I'm pretty excited by some of the confirmed/suspected voice actors, and from what we've seen with FMA and Camploo, I'm confident it won't totally suck. ^-^
AS was said earlier, its pretty hard to sum up a series that massive in such a short time without giving anything away. Although they did completely give away the whole deal with Kyuubi, they otherwise gave no spoilers.
Honestly, I really dun think we can judge what the actual show will be like from this little snippet, because if so... *shudder*

I remain confident that the english dub won't...um...how to put this... suck so bad.Sure, I'll stick with my subbed versions, but I'm sure the english dub will be fine and dandy for younger "Shonen Jump" raised crowd. Little American (and others) kids who don't know a Shukaku from a shoe-kack-koo (I dunno what that is =_=; will enjoy it plenty. The rest of us will be fine... we all know what makes naruto awesome. He can still enjoy our little slice of the fan demographic. Let's just be happy no matter how craptacular it could end up being ^_^ |

And besides, we have the forums to re-educate anyone raised on the dub Naruto!
"Uhh..... why are you all saying Hokage? What is a Hokage, and why isn't there a Head Ninja?"
"Well, you see, in the original Naruto......"
Whahaha. (^_~)\/

very true.
It's like anything. Once the change is made to english, a new generation of different fans will emerge.
Take Inuyasha for example.
I was brought up with the Japanese fansubs (well, not quite brought up...but you get the picture). The 'Kaza-ana' and 'Hiraikotsu' were technique names I knew. In the english dub, they were changed to 'Wind Tunnel' and...well...Sango's technique stayed the same ^^;;
Either way..."Art of the Doppleganger' is regretable...but alas, that's the way it happens.
...
...
...Kay, I just gotta yell it out.
KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!!
*pwoosh*
Kiels: eheheheh...that felt good ^_^

Hopefully it won't sound too bad.
Or maybe I'm just in denial. (~_~)

Oh 7 foot tall man who's been smoking cigarettes since childbirth, your trailer voiceovers never fail to amuse me.
