Thanks. I've been prepared to do that comic for some time now had 4Kids license "Naruto". Unfortunately, I felt compelled to do one for Shopro/Viz because so many people (particularly the die-hards at Anime on DVD) still hate them. Even Funimation would've been a more "assuring" response because the "OMG FUNI RAEPD DBZ!!!!!!1" crowd isn't that large anymore...and thus not as fun to pick on ;)

Anyway, the question I'm more interested in now is who's going to to dub the series. With Viz, the choice is Ocean, Ocean, and Ocean (oh, and maybe a studio no one's ever heard about like Voice One for a high-profile series like "Saikano"). If that's the case, I sincerely hope they use Westwood, because the last thing this world needs is Blue Water dubbing something like "Naruto"...not that I've seen this series before.

And we also have to wait to see which television channel this will go to...agh, the wank is going to kill me...

Regardless, I still laughed my head off at that last panel. That was classic! Ha ha!

Hn...I don't know much about the dubbing companies. I do hope it gets a decent dub. Dubbing has gotten so much better over the past couple years, I'm not as worried about it as I used to be. If it's crappy, I'll just watch the sub, no big deal. Scripting concerns me more than voice overs too...I'd hate to see an Inuyasha"ish" script for the English release...I have a love hate relationship with that dub, not because of the acting, but because of the lame scripting they use half the time... *shrugs*

Oh well...come what may, my son is super excited. Unfortunatly, he's a Narutard...but I give him some slack because he's only 10... ;-)
