Anyways, on topc, I'm really looking forward to this series, because I've always heared to was really good, and I see it constantly compared to DBZ.
Oh, Dayv. Well, I can't blame you for turning down that job--touching up other people's animation cels sounds sort of lame. I'd like to do a voice acting project at least once, though. I think it would be fun. Heh.
Hey, Ric... exactly how "unsafe" is Naruto for American TV? I mean sexy no jutsu (Which litterly means The Style of Sexy, I think... Odd..) isn't any worse than, for example, Marron's outfit in the Garlic Jr. Saga. I just don't want another headache of people constantly whining and comparing Naruto's dub to the Japanese version and stuff. Meh. I had enough of that ever since "Hey look! I can see their parachutes! They're OK!"
Naruto is much better than DBZ. It's really one of the best animes that's still having new episodes coming out.
Also, the Naruto anime has already been censored a little bit in the japanese version. Sexy no Jutsu has noticably more smoke around Naruto than the manga does. The american version will probably just add a bit more smoke. I mean, it's really no different than something like a bubble bath, which is constantly shown in animes such as DBZ or Pokemon...
And I don't think Jiraiya's pervertedness will need to be all that different. I mean, they might just make it a little more subtle... A few lines will need to be changed, but I'm sure they could do it without altering them too much. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't...
But I'm thinking that probably only some blood will be painted out or something. I'm really not expecting them to butcher it, because after the overwhelming amount of hate that 4Kids got because of what they did to One Piece, I'm sure that Viz will be careful. They're not going to want the same thing happening to them.
And Viz has already done several GOOD dubs... such as Rurouni Kenshin and Ranma 1/2.
But then again, I'm just crossing my fingers here... Trying to be optimistic.
