NEWS: Disney XD to Add Naruto Shippūden in U.S.

who knows if disney is going to even keep the original va's

Nice. I don't think people understand. Disney for a long time has been trying to fix the problem they have with male teens and young adults. They have woman/girl audience locked. This is also why they actually are in the process of buying Marvel Entertainment. Expect to see Marvel superhero shows on Disney as well in the near future. Disney is suppose to be for the older male crowd as well so I doubt Naruto is going to be that edited if edited at all. The channel is meant for those aged 13 on up so why edit the show? People are getting all bent out of shape before the show even aired. Complain after you see an episode and if it happens to be edited. Don't just assume anything or take your worry and belief as pure fact. Disney isn't Disney proper and they are purposefully going after an older audience. Disney of all companies knows what it's doing.

dvds are far more difficult to obtain and are expensive
its much easier to just search online. and i wouldn't wish one piece or any anime for that matter being sent to disney DX. one piece had terrible luck being picked up by 4kids who edited the hell out of it and ended up losing the license to funimation. but because it was on a 2 year hiatus when it came back no one new what it was. it also started about 1/4 the way in so it ended up being cancelled. anyway i don't consider disney picking up naruto a great thing. it'd be better off cancelled. who knows if disney is going to even keep the original va's
also most of the kids watching this won't understand whats going on since they don't know anything about the first season.

Hmm? Kind of like most off the people on this site. Fan history repeating itself right on time.

Although I'm a hardcore Otaku who will never leave the fandom, most of you somewhat newer guys will get to witness the kiddies grown from the Disney channel and brought into the fandom.

The situations are different now.
When One Piece was butchered the ONLY way to see it uncut was through fansubs.
With Naruto Shippuden there are DVD's as well as online, legal, and free streaming of the majority of it.
So don't even compare to this One Piece's situation.
Plus those who get into Naruto Shippuden through Disney and are interested in checking out the original can stream the whole thing online legally and free.

I mean, yeah, maybe you wanted it to be somewhere on TV where it will be less edited, but face it, this won't hurt you.

you obviously didn't read my post i never compared the two. i was just explaining the situaton one piece went through to someone on the last page.
as for netflix you would have to wait to rent the shippuuden dvds since they aren't available for quite a while since they have them in limited supply. and as for buying them i'm glad some people are rich enough that they can blow 40 buckss for a couple of eps. thank god for hulu putting the dub and sub eps on because thats the easiest way to watch them.

well yeah there are some sweet deals online but at the average walmart, bestbuy ect they are around 40 for the newer ones. even on amazon they have them for around 30 new though they just changed the price from 49.98 which makes me feel bad for the poor idiots who preordered before the price drop.
