Naruto airing in Malaysia and The Netherlands
Narutofan writes:
It appears the Naruto anime series has been licensed for possible distribution in the Netherlands, in the Dutch language. The series is being called "Naruto, en de kracht van het kwaadaardige vossen monster" which translates to "Naruto, and the power of the malicious fox monster". We will be looking for more information on this, so far that is all we know. So Naruto is now in a few countries. Phillipines (in Tagalog), Netherlands (in Dutch), Malaysia and of course Japan. Interesting development. I wonder which countrys will follow. on a side note, My country is in for a treat. Holland has about 10 dubbers who dub about all the 50 cartoons/anime that air, so the quality speaks for itself...right... edit due to overal disbelief: this is my only confirmation of the licensing of Naruto in Holland, ANN

The Horror ... The Horror,
Naruto in The Netherlands. We fucked up Pokemon en Yu-Gi-Oh why couldn't they just leave it at that. There is just 1 big plus too this. If it becomes populair enough, and I know it will then merchandise should hit the streets in big numbers. We could even become fortunate enough to get the Naruto games released here. And off course we can still always watch the subs, it maybe illegal but who the fuck gives a damn about that anyways. Should be Fun too, Licensed in Holland before America. This may also mean that Anime is becoming a more serious market here in which companies are willing to invest. And even though it's horrible, it's a first step for kid's into anime. I just got to hunt down Naruto lovers and introduce them to the real series. Quote:

And then the awful discussions i'm going to hear about naruto episode 5 while we are a 100 episodes ahead. Yes, I'm going to spoil the damn suckers :fingers: the only good thing about this is that (maybe) Naruto merchandise will be available for The Netherlands. |

First off the Dutch didn't ruin Pokemon and Yu-gi-Oh the American companies already did that for us.
Furhtermore come on its not that bad, I admit the dub will be but the number of anime showed on the TV after the 80s diminished until the Dragonball Z hype. Oh well if it weren't for the goverment there would have been a chance that Naruto being showed subbed on TV. Maybe we should start a petition for Naruto demanding it to be subbed and uncut on TV |

It never fails to amaze my how people can hate their own culture
Show some pride for your own language, culture and country !!! Besides if you are so worried send the tapes to Flanders (Vlaanderen) we will happily dub them for you, over here we have dubbed numurous cartoons with great succes. We don't reuse the same dubbers over and over again, no they are actually selected through a process that wants to find the voice/personality closest to the original. Oh btw why are you bashing a dubbed version when you haven't even heard a single word of it, or seen a single translated line? |

This, offcourse mainly because Im used to English and Japanese and secondly because the targeted age of the series has since long left me. It's a fact that european (not to mention americans) cut japanese series up because the ethics on what can and cannot be showed on a cartoon are very diferent. What is a good point however, is that most of the time we receive a series 2nd hand, that is to say we translate it from English to Dutch. We already receive an eddited version the US concuted making it impossible to apply our own censor. Holland being a very tolerant and censor-less country (ignoring the recent events, im not here to talk about that) It's very much possible that we're not ending up too bad with Naruto. In terms of censorship that is... Im having seconds thoughts on whetether I should have posted this announcement since some reactions are immature and really only amount to flaming, but hey, that's us dutchies we have no sense of patriotism. Besides, Dutch is one hell of an ugly language to listen to .

MMH im from Germany and i think that many animes witch are licensed in america are not licensed here , but the most our subbers are so slow .
And so i watch the most animes in english sub, but i thing many subbers would continue to sub naruto. And i thing i did't need any dub because the Japanisch language is nice to hear . |

Disney dubs are pretty good over here, I of course still prefer the English voices Quote:
Now if we base it on old dubs like e.g. Alfred J. Kwak and what not I think I would have had high hopes for it. Quote:
Its like saying kids are too slow or stupid to follow subs |

just as I wouldn't want to see a dutch production to be dubbed in japanese. It's just stupid! Naruto, a japanese boy, who eats with chopsticks, with japanese morals. japanese text all over the place. Naruto speaking dutch is like a cat barking And don't forget that it's a great chance to learn about a other culture |

PS On a side note about the dubbing : if Naruto will be shown on dutch tv, alot of kids will watch it too, and not everyone in Flanders and Holland is as good in english (or japanese for that matter) as some of us are.... Quote:
