Yeah, Biz and I were wondering that too when we were in chat while it was on. They take out the kiss, leave the acknowledgement of it, take out the sexy no jutsu blood, leave in Naruto on the toilet AND leave in the butt poke. Even if they do give it a stupid name.
It's like this crazy game of "let's pick what to slice out." Maybe they threw darts. They also cut out when Iruka coughed up blood, but kept the blood from the shurinken Mizuki tossed. I'm really wondering what the HELL they're going to do later on since:
1) It gets pretty bloody pretty fast and for extended periods of time
and
2) Jiraiya
And if Naruto and Sasuke kissing (which they obviously didn't like from their reactions afterwards) was cut, what are they going to do with Orochimaru, who exudes the aura of pedophilia? And jesus, HAKU AND ZABUZA. If they make Haku a girl, I'll scream.
Someone else said some of the scenes were out of order, to, but I'm not quite to the point I have order memorized yet to say whether that's true or not.
Thankfully, I will only have maybe one or two more chances to watch the dub and that's it. Then I can go back to my sweet, sweet original.
Baby-making position filled, sorry! *points to icon*
Well, I KNOW for sure that they edited quite a bit out of the third episode, with Naruto in the bathroom. Sure, they showed him in it, but they didn't, you know, show him wiping off and such. That toilet paper scene sorta sticks out in my mind.
Though, maybe it was the numerous commercial breaks that were breaking up the flow? I know it was annoying me. That and the lack of the OP and EDs.
;____; Well, as long as you make sure Sasuke is carrying a litter, I'll be happy. Ganbatte!
... Did anyone expect the dub to be anything near worthy? Hoping a dub will be good is like continually sticking your finger in a light socket, hoping that it won't hurt..........
*pets Sera-chan* I'm gonna go back to watching The Band now...
The Cowboy Bebop dub rocks. The Miyazaki movies are pretty good too, even if they are released by Disney (Mononoke is the best of the lot, because Neil Gaiman wrote the English script askdfjgl *fangirl*).
I really hate the way official translators seem to think they have the right to mangle someone else's original work in the interests of cultural differences and audience 'suitability'. Gods know if I was a mangaka I'd throw all my work over the pier before letting Viz get their insensitive hands on it.
Samurai Champoloo? I haven't heard of that one... is Adult Swim carrying it?
Speaking of companies... on Friday nights out here, there's a classic car show up the street at this Bob's Big Boy, and I've noticed that it's right across the street from an office building with a great big sign that says...
