I am thinking that they are the doing the Family Guy move: the show was cancelled, but due to DVD sales and fan demand, it was brought back.

Would this work with Shippuden? Maybe....they wont get FG numbers, but they will still be a lot though.

I imagine that if N:S vol. 1 sells real well, then the show will be on TV in early 2010.

I'm not too surprised. It doesn't make any sense to slow poke with anime on TV. Anyone even remotely interested will look on Google and find out they can watch 100+ episodes today rather than wait months for Cartoon Network to get around to it.

That's how I got put on to fansubs during the chunin arc.

Well this was an eye opening announcement. But if the dubbed series won't be aried online either there wouldn't be any competition for the broadcast provider. I wonder if online distribution is what killed it. Oh well.

I"ve seen a few episodes here and there and liked it. Figured I'd wait until it showed up on CN to see it.

CN/AS sucks balls anyway. I"m surprised that Code Geass, Moribito and Bleach are still running on there.

I've been waiting almost 3 years to buy episodes of Shippuuden. They are lucky that i'm such a Naruto fanboy. Any reasonable person probably would have given up on the idea and said something like, "oh well I honestly tried and they wouldn't make it... fansubs ftw."

I visited a step-cousin of mine the other day and found out that he's a huge Naruto fan. He was like, "I used to watch it on tv all the time, but then they stopped showing it."

I was excited to tell him about Shippuuden and point him to Hulu or Crunchyroll and tell him there were like 100+ new episodes... then he showed me a gangload Shippuuden fansubs and the bubble was burst. It's too little too late for him.

Just because someone's seen the fansubs or the Viz subs doesn't mean that they can no longer buy the DVDs. Even though I don't watch the DVDs much, if at all, I still buy them. They're a heck of a lot cheaper here than what they retail for in Japan, that's for sure.

I'd actually argue that it's a pretty high sign that they won't. This a a forum for an anime store so it's not surprising that some people here would, but I don't think that the majority of people who download fansubs turn around and buy these same shows. Especially kids who really got into anime via fansubs. Most of them feel that anime should never be paid for regardless of anything.

I think the stats for industry growth/decline say it all. If the majority of fansubbers were buying DVDs, we'd be having record years for growth anime companies would have been expanding left and right rather than closing left and right.

I wasn't planning on getting into that subject, which is why I posted that watching fansubs/on-line subs doesn't preclude people from buying.

Anyway, I don't feel like exploring that topic in this post at the moment, but I'll just say that when they reach a certain point, they may become a more wizened or responsible consumer.

No biggie for me, I'm getting the episodes from iTunes since they get released there before the DVDs.

Naruto failed on Cartoon Network because kids today just go to Youtube or something similar. Why back in my day *sits on rocking chair* we had to wait for new anime on a program called Toonami.

I think it's good that they're not putting it on CN. The first Naruto series was hacked down to being a children's anime and Shippuden is definitely NOT for children.

The first series is a childrens' series, and I don't see how it was "hacked down". I mean, yeah, they had that "Believe it" thing at first, but that got dropped quickly.

Really? Whatever happened to the "Believe It' thing?

It just mysteriously dissipated around the time of the Chuunin exams. Seriously, by the time the Sasuke Retrieval arc came, you weren't hearing it much at all.

I am asking, like why did they took it off? Was it because fans were annoyed by it?

According to an Anime News Network article about the Viz panel at Anime Expo 2009, the dvd release of Naruto Shippuden will be "the only way to see the show dubbed". The link for the article is

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2009/anime-expo/viz-media

This tells us that the dubbed version will not be on any tv network.

I would also guess that this means the subbed version will not be on tv, and most likely the last episodes of Naruto will not air on tv either.

Naruto on DVD is the ONLY way to see it dubbed.

You were saying?... (http://animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=224739) :)

In all seriousness though, and like I said on that thread, it's very possible that Viz may have had to agree to certain..."conditions" (if you catch my drift) in order for it to be shown on the network in question.

I wouldn't believe something like this normally but I actually found a press release. http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/09-10-2009/0005091943&EDATE

Yep, it's legit!

Naruto failed on TV in the US because it was marketed at entirely the wrong audience. It was far inferior to the japanese/original version and it was put on at a time that the audience most likely to watch it in the US had already tuned out.

Naruto at midnight is a failure. I believe when it originally aired it was on at something like 10pm before it moved to their midnight block? Well that's also an enormous failure. Especially with the piss poor job the dubbing team did which effectively lowered the target audience age range down 2-5 years.

I'd bet money that if Shippuuden was started on CN it would thrive. God knows we don't need 2 episodes of Bleach on back to back and if they'd put more effort into making the Dubs more authentic and based off the original things would be much better.

People tend to ignore the sloppy translations more then they ignore the terrible voice acting.

The last anime I watched dubbed was InuYasha. It was also one of the only actual series that did a great job at it for such a large project. Bleach also isn't that bad overall. Naruto though? Absolute [censored].

But not watch it just because it's on Youtube or downloadable? Nah. I've seen Naruto (non-filler) 3-4 times all the way through. Shippuuden at least twice plus I go back and rewatch things I like. I'd certainly watch it all the way through again if it were on TV so long as it didn't make me feel like a fool watching it.

Believe it...

Where did u get that info from? Naruto did exceptionally well on Cartoon network. The only reason they stopped promoting it and airing new episodes is because they wanted a bigger slice of the profits.
