Thumbs up?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Last saturday <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viz.com\/naruto\/intro.html\">Naruto<\/a> started airing on Cartoon Network&#8217;s Toonami block <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viz.com\/naruto\/intro.html\">of<\/a> programming.  For those of you who aren&#8217;t anime fans, Naruto is one of the most popular shows to come out of Japan in the last couple of years.  Cartoon Network has a really random reputation when it comes to treatment of anime.  Sometimes deserved, sometimes not.<\/p>\n<p>Given the above, I was kind nervous tuning in to check it out.  I tend not to be a fan of dubbing, but realize that it is the only way that most shows will make it onto TV.  In the end, Cartoon Network did a pretty good job.  My biggest complaint was &#8216;why bother changing the opening and ending?&#8217;.  The ones for the show are pretty good as it is (and some of the later ones are great).  The voices themselves were okay, I think the VAs may have to grow into them a little, but hopefully that won&#8217;t take long.  Very little editing.  One minor thing that bugged me a little was that they edited out nosebleeds. Nosebleeds? They&#8217;re an anime thing.  When a character sees something naughty or has perverted thoughts they tend to get nosebleeds.  No, I don&#8217;t get it either, but I&#8217;m used to it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got it programmed into my TiVo as a season pass for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last saturday Naruto started airing on Cartoon Network&#8217;s Toonami block of programming.
