You've gotta admit... There's some messed up stuff in Naruto, esp. in the manga. How young is too young to be watching it? And you all know what I'm talking about.

Stickels · 2003-11-19, 22:17

most of the stuff thats kinda naughty would go right over little kids heads, so I think it should be alright at any age.

TheGrinch · 2003-11-19, 22:21

well there's a lot of blood, and cussing (I think) so I think people 13 and older should only be watching it.
But in Japan, anything goes (violence wise)

Grav · 2003-11-19, 22:38

Whew, I thought this was a Michael Jackson thread.

Uh, it depends on the child really. Some 12 year olds are very mature. Many are not. If I had to put a number on anime I would say 14.

Vicious · 2003-11-19, 22:44

I don't really care... watch what you want.

Lee-pimp · 2003-11-19, 22:47

i say nc 13 cus its not really about the stuff in the show i couldnt care less but kids 12 and under tend to be.....how should i put this uhhh crazy fan boys and thats just anoying as all hell

and i agree with stickles most kids watching it wouldnt catch the naughty stuff they probably wouldnt think the show was that funny and most likely wouldnt like jiraiya and would think taht come come paradise is sick

Ir0nExpress · 2003-11-19, 22:50

All depends on the country IMO, like in US, Definitely +13, we don't need to see in the news some kid taking his dad's kunais and killing someone. And OH DEAR GOD! THE BLOOD! THE BLOOD!

Other countries, the kids can deal with it. They can almost never show naruto here, WAY too much blood for a "cartoon". :\

SnowBoarder · 2003-11-19, 23:06

Any age is good. When i was little (i mean smaller cause im only 13) I watched whatever the hell i wanted (as long as my parents didn't found out), and i didn't care about cussing or violence. And Just because a little kid watches a Naruto episode doesnt mean that he's gonna go off and kill someone or sumtin. Even if he wanted to where the hell would he find a kuni or a jutsu anywhere. And even like 5 year olds could watch it. They wouldn't even know what cuss words are besides sumtin like poopy (lol) and 5 year olds love blood. I remember whenever neone bled in pre school everyone came around to see and say, "cooooooollll.' And this nationality thing about dealing with blood is bull****. A kid is a kid and they all have the same feelings about things like that.

Lee-pimp · 2003-11-19, 23:16

its just the way kids grow up in the us your sheltered from violence and such until your like 10 or 9 mabye 8 but after that your not really into the whole thing until your like 11 or 12 kids are just generally more impressionalbe in America i dont know why but its true

uglypigs · 2003-11-19, 23:23

i must admit this thread isnt what i thought it was going to be about...

wnkryo · 2003-11-19, 23:58

Well i defenetly did not voted for "No one should watch over 13" becuase all the blood and some adult content isnt something a 6 year old would like.

BTW, i also agree, i thought this thread was gonna be something like... " isnt naruto and the rest, just to young to be ninjas?" or "isnt starting to become a ninja at a young age like konohamaru, just to much?".

hobobaggins · 2003-11-20, 00:07

anything goes. violence does not traumatize kids. look at roadrunner/wiley coyote.

Actually thier was not that much violence in road runner and wiley coyote, becuase well, coyote never touched road runner ^^

hobobaggins · 2003-11-20, 00:33

but on the other hand he kicks the crap out of himself.

okay, look at looney toons- they hit people with hammers at the slightest provocation!

yeah, dont forget anvils and dynomite...and then no one in looney tunes acctually gets hurt, therefore giving children a false interpretation of violence. Atleast naruto will teach them the consequences of sharp objects is horrible horrible pain and possible DEATH

HoboGod · 2003-11-20, 00:48

depends on the maturity of the child, i for one was able to watch violent horror movies at age 6, and at that age if there was anything sexual or involved nudity, i was mature enough to know what it was, but would still say "ewww, girls have coodies."

**monir** · 2003-11-20, 00:55

hehe..even kurby is violent..kurby will just suck everything..beside who follows age restriction anyway..if it is good go watch it..

Kakashi Sensei · 2003-11-20, 02:05

Well the violence is something we see everyday., so its common. But stuff w/ sexual situations, etc. like adult swim is on late at night for a reason...
