CorbeauKarasu Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Back in the day, this was the hottest joint in town I was in college when it premiered; I'd been following its localization closely online John Boyega was a little kid in 'Attack the Block' when this kicked off - he even namedropped it in the movie And, as Shippuden's run comes to a close during our usual Midnight Run, Toonami Rewind takes us back to the start - NARUTO EPISODE 1 ENTER: NARUTO UZUMAKI Enter the Hidden Leaf Village's Number One Knuckleheaded Ninja! Will he tame his demons and become the top shinobi? The Legend Begins AGAIN ONLY TOONAMI REWIND 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact same version that aired in 2012. Don’t you remember how they justified the pickup by always calling it UNCUT. The only real difference are small bits of blood here and there.

The only real difference are small bits of blood here and there. The dub still maintains its safe for CN dialog. These are different tapes, based on the HD upscale Viz made for Blu-ray. The 2012 "uncut" tapes were weird because they still used the edited dub's opening and ending credit roll rather than the original Japanese openings and endings. I can't say I paid that much attention to it but I believe the dialogue was the same as what was on the uncensored DVDs, which mainly meant there were some swear words. I'm guessing back in 2012 Toonami told Viz the show couldn't run with the full OP and ED and rather than shorten those they just slapped the TV dub opening and ending credits in. Now they actually put in the effort to shorten the ED "Wind" like they did for the Sailor Moon ending (and also for the OP and ED of Zom 100). Hearing "Wind" and "Rocks" on US television for the first time is really nice and it's funny to me that it makes me nostalgic for the days when I was watching fan subbed Naruto before the show even aired on Toonami. But besides having a version of the Japanese OP and ED they even have the episode previews. All of that is a nice upgrade from the 2012 tapes but the best upgrade by far is the fact that they are properly pillar boxed for 16:9 screens like Kai, HD Outlaw Star, HD Bebop and HD Sailor Moon and aren't stretching the 4:3 video like the 2012 tapes did. The upscale isn't fantastic but it's an early digital paint show made for SD televisions and there's only so much they can do with that to upscale it for modern screens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
