1) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1
I have actually bought this set a number of times. Once for myself and also for several friends. The series is solid, and the translation to DVD is well done. As with most "official" subtitling, it´s not as good as what it could be. However, I DO have to say that they did a great job.¤ 2) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. I adore Naruto, but hate the mash the terrible English dubbed versions on American TV have made of the characters and stories I fell for in fan subtitled versions downloaded from the internet. Although this set does not include the translations of writing (like signs) - and swears - that were features of fan subtitling it´s great to hear the voices and theme music as I remember them. A very nice set.¤ 3) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. I have been converting the non-believers. This show has great character development and there needs to be more shows like it. I kinda wish I was a kid again so I could be more into it. I also originally watched it in Japanese, so I was surprised at the translations. They were pretty good. I don´t remember him saying Believe it so much though.¤ 4) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. First of all, let me first establish the fact that this anime is based on a shounen manga...which translates to:
THIS IS A KID´S ANIME.
That´s right. Shounen anime/manga is a means of entertainment that targets young boys ranging from elementary school age to 18 years of age. Yes, that´s on the same level as Pokémon if that´s what you´re thinking. Anyway, having said that, if you are expecting a "Ghost in the Shell/Ninja Srcoll/Basalisk"-esque plot then prepare to be disappointed. Again, it´s a kid´s anime-- chalk full of over-the-top antics, slightly perverted humor, and lots of blatant ninja clichés.
I don´t mind any of that stuff. I love this anime and tons of others (and this is coming from a young woman who put´s Darwin´s ´Origin of Species´ pretty high up there on her good reads list). Simple things can be quite enjoyable if given a chance. I think that Naruto should be given a chance. If you´d rather test it out before purchasing however, simply reserve 30-minutes of your time to Cartoon Network and check out an episode. Easy, yes?
¤ 5) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. I have watched many episodes of Naruto and I must say that this is not worth paying 45 bucks for! The storyline is weak and full of cliches and super boring! All the characters do is walk around, throw ninja stars, and crack some retarded jokes. If your into cliche joke busting ninjas then you will love this, might I suggest Bleach, xxxHOLiC, Ultra Maniac, or any Hayao Miyazaki films. Thank you for your time! :D¤ 6) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. Deep within the Hidden Leaf Village, sharp and cunning Ninja carry an ultimate power while Naruto Uzumaki carries inside the ultimate secret.Twelve years ago, the fourth Hokage sacrificed himself and saved the village by sealing the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit an orphaned baby boy. Now, this plucky prankster must do what it takes achieve this life-long goal and become the next Hokage!Comes with a collectible Naruto storyboards booklet.325 minutesAudio: English, JapaneseSubtitles: English¤ 7) DVD DVD Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 1 by VIZ VIDEO. Although some otaku (hardcore fans) have complained about the editing of the English dub of the popular ninja fantasy-adventure Naruto, the Uncut Box Set reveals the edits were quite minor. There´s a little more blood in some of the fight scenes, and the opening and closing titles are the Japanese originals. In episode 3, Naruto´s stomach problems are presented more vividly, and Kakashi delivers a more explicit jab to Naruto´s butt in episode 4. More revealing differences turn up in the subtitles: In the English dub, Naruto declares he wants to become a great ninja so the whole village "will start treating me like somebody important"; in the original, it´s "will acknowledge my existence." The three-disc Uncut Box, which includes the bound storyboards for Episode 8 (in Japanese), is a good buy. The first 13 episodes include Naruto´s graduation from the Ninja Academy and his assignment to a team with Sakura (on whom he nurtures a crush) and Sasuke, his arch-rival. The reluctant trio begins to learn how to work as a team on their first mission under the supervision of Kakashi. The exotic jutsu (ninja techniques), stylized fights and slapstick comedy will keep any Naruto fan happy. (Unrated, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, tobacco use, risqué and toilet humor) --Charles Solomon¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 7-Jan-2009, 782009235378, WQB-FKB-Z2B-YQB-5AB-NSB-8
