I'll tell you why. It's the bling bling.
The Naruto guys know this is going to be HUGE. They want HUGE money in return. They haven't gotten a good # out of anyone yet. That's fine with them...they can wait. Only 1 1/2 years of anime out right now...at 6 eps per disc, that's only 12 DVDs we're at so far. The Naruto folks can wait. |

why has naruto still not been licensed?
Can anyone tell me why the naruto anime is still not licensed? (not that I wanted it to be )
I mean, many anime have been licensed after airing 10 - 20 episodes, Naruto on the other hand, just passed the 100th episode. I can't help wondering what the reason could be, as the Naruto anime is populair as hell, and other anime keep on being licensed, some of them even being total crap. sooo who knows? |

Last I heard Naruto had in a sense been priced out of the market because of it's huge popularity online in the west. If that's true then I guess no one wants to jump right in and fork out high distribution costs for such a long-ass show so they're hesitating.

Damn, that sucks! Shit, Kakashi's going to be voiced by Ash from pokemon and Naruto's probably going to be Yugi or something. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed Sasuke's name to Sammy and Hinata's name to Jennifer (NOOOOOO!!!). And then Naruto's going to go around yelling "Shadow Repiclation Skill!" instead of "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" like it's some American kiddy ninja cartoon. |

Yeah Naruto being licensed would't be too peachy.
Kage Bunshin No jutsu became Doppelganger technique at the hands of Viz But then again, there will always be the illegal subs to leech so all out of Naruto is not very likely. And well, in the end it's only Naruto, there are tons of anime way way better then Naruto out there up for grabs. Actually it would be good for for some people in naruto gets licensed, they would see that there's more to Anime then Naruto. The bad part would be the steady decline of posters on Naruto forum. Where ever will I spend so much time on discussing such trivial things? twould be a pity indeed

I guess they're too lazy to licence it, or in reality it has been licenced but Area 51 won't tell the truth. It's a comspirecy, I tell you. There's no way that someone wouldn't try to licence an anime so popular. It has to be but they're waiting for the time, like right before the series finally in Japan.
Spoiler for many years later.....:

Blah - why do english versions translate so many words directly into english?
Geez, when Rurouni Kenshin came to Cartoon Network and they said Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki.. it was just terrible. And in Inuyasha, Ryuukotsusei.. roll the Rs damnit!! lol but if it does get licensed I hope they at least do a good job with it and don't trash it. |

For shame mentioning that group!
Anyway, they rarely actualy change a storyline or edit the animation to the point where it's bothersome. People just like to complain. I admit sometimes I have some issue with the lack of emotions in the voices. But I have never had a much lesser experience with american dubs. Although I doubt Spoiler:
Anyway I wonder what kind of sales the DVD's would have. I think the biggest problem would be the audience Naruto (admit it or not I don't care) atracts. I doubt many would actualy buy the DVD's to support their anime. Quote:
