Naruto - Page 3

The English dub is horrible. Believe it or not, you can see it on Youtube now.

Most of the voices suck, and they put the same amount of emotions in all of the characters, which is a horrible way of doing it. Sasuke, Neji and Kakashi are given more emotion than their character demands, and Naruto does not sound like an annoying little brat. That just ruins it. Orochimaru sounds a bit less like an old hag (or for some of you, an evil snake villain), but it's not that much better. The pronunciations are horrible, and the tone is sometimes awkward and out of place. Even I can imagine better voice acting when I read the manga fansubs.

It is intereting, and you do learn Japense from it, before I didn't know:
Ho - Fire
Mizu - Water
Kaze - Thunder
Kage - Shadow

And a couple of other japanese words. Wonder how many episodes (and chapters of the manga) there are going to be.

Kaze is also wind. As in kazikame.

The techniques, doton, katon, suiton and mokuton are also similar to the kanji characters used for the days of the week (also based off of the same words for earth, fire, water and wood).

Sephiroth, I'm pretty sure it's Kamekazi, not Kazikame. BUt the thing that I think ruined Naruto a lot is Naruto shouting "Belive it" every 2 seconds. And whenever he isn't saying that, he makes grunting sounds that sound like he's either having an orgasm, or having a baby. It's really annoying. And the voice actors they hired suck.

They should have left in the original voices for the panting, grunts, etc. They were done much better. And more realistically too.

those are the fillers? Well, I kinda gave up on the anime, mainly because the manga is further ahead, so I mainly watch the movies. The first movie was ok but the second one, which I'm currently watching, is the best. Gaara owns more people in one scene then anyone probably did in the entire anime.

all this time i was hearing about an anime called "Naruto" and i was wondering why they like it.
in the beggining when i heard about it,i thought that it was a stupid anime and all that other stuff.
but still i wanted to see how it was this anime,so a few days ago i decided to download an episode of it,just to see how it was and if i was going to like it or not.
soon i realized that i was wrong about it and now here i am talking about it coz i really like it very much.
the main reason i decided to watch was Sazuke,he looked so cool and strong,although he's a little cold with the others.

i would like to know what do you think about it too and who's your favourite character.

you already know who's mine,is Sazuke.

so lets all of us share our opinion about this anime and its characters too,in this thread

The best anime I've ever seen. =D I too heard everyone talking about it but there were a lot of rumours suggesting that the filler stories were boring. My friend and I chose to ignore this because we like being different, and we actually liked the fillers.
The plotline is brilliant, with some real unexpected twists and turns that I wont mention otherwise I'll spoil it

What episode are you on Sins of a Fighter? Mo matter what, keep watching, and look out for episode 101, that one is hilarious xD.

My favourite character is Naruto, not because he's the main, but because of his drive to never keep up no matter what. He's not afraid to stray off the path and follow his own way of the ninja, I like that about him.
I love Kakashi too, I can't explain why, I just find him brilliant and super cool

Probably due to is carefree nature is a factor as to why he is one of my favourites.
And of course, Saskue. He is too cool for school

But like mentioned, he's a little to cold. He has great ability to be passive though, and I like that mysteriousness.
