Cuts, cuts², cuts³ in the German Naruto version

[chochajin]

Well, as I´ve already told you in this post Naruto is now on German tv.
A lot of people have been complaining about the German version.
The voices are not fitting, they pronounce some of the names wrong.
And the German opening which isn´t even in German is horrible, too !!

You can have a look at the German opening here:

interesting. i think the problem is culture? in the us and europe they think cartoons are only for children?

[chochajin]

I´m not sure. I would say that the USA is much more critical with those things than Germany. This is the FIRST anime that has so many cuts !!! And I just don´t get why NOW and why with this series ?!?
Well Dragonball Z for example was broadcastet around 7pm, so there were only little cuts.
And I don´t think that they think that cartoons are only for children. But the tv station that is broadcasting Naruto IS, but why are they buying series as 'brutal' as Naruto in the first place then ? (x__x;) Ayah~ ...

Can't really generalize "Europe" -- I know there used to be really violent and creepy cartoon shows on public service television here (Sweden), and aside from Pokémon/Digimon/Beyblade (ie obvious things) they're releasing a lot of fairly violent anime domestically here. I think even Ninja Scroll is in the lineup, though I could be misremembering.

... and here in Finland they don't cut anything. :P I think it's a german culture thing in this case, since at least in Finland and Sweden the series shown are really uncut. And we have stuff like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hellsing and Samurai Champloo - I guess Full Metal Panic! should be counted in that too, since there's naked people running around. So, duh.

*dies* (laughing or crying I can't decide yet)

That's... AWFUL! (Zabuza's weapon x__X) And ridiculous -_- (I can't watch the opening right now but I will and will tell you what think about it ^_-)

*hugs because it's too awful* There, there, forget it...

XD

(-____-;) *sigh* I´m just glad that Naruto isn´t a series that I did know before !
If they would have done THAT to a series I know and love (like I said before FMA or HxH) I would really flip out x_____x; ..... it´s really ridiculous O_O; ....

Thanks ^____^ *hugs back*

and yes please let me know your opinion about the 'great' *coughs* German opening :)

Ugh, that's terrible! And here I was, thinking that the English version sucks.

You could always go with subs..

[chochajin]

Yeah, I think I will watch the sub version soon ^^; ..

I haven't see the italian version yet, but I don't think that they would go as far as the german one...normally they clean up only some blood here and there, but cancel a huge weapon like Zabuza's one is yet to be seen...

btw, in my country MTV actually shows anime without any censorships, but with big ads before the opening saying "this cartoon is not for little children" which makes more sense...too bad that Naruto is on another channel.

After this revelations of yours, I doubt that I want to see it XDD

[chochajin]

Yeah I know, I LOVE the Italian anime versions in general :)
Normally they only edit a bit of blood and stuff in Germany, too, I don´t get why they´re exaggerating that much this time O__O; ....

Oh and MTV is showing some animes in Germany, too. As far as I know they´re uncut and the dub is usually pretty good :)

Oh mein Goo~oott, ich hatte ja schon gehört, dass die deutsche Version schlimm sei, aber SO schlimm????!!!! (->jupp, jedes einzelne Ausrufe- und Fragezeichen entspricht gerade meinem Unverständnis)
Naja, das erklärt wirklich, warum ich mich fragte, was dieser komische Stumpf in Zarashis Händen sei und warum der andere so seltsam schwitzend reagiert, und viele andere Dinge natürlich auch... und warum ich gerne eine Vorgeschichte mit dem Neunschwänzigen gesehen hätte!>_< Also muss ich mir die Serie doch wieder komplett aus dem Netz ziehen...>__> *seufz* Ich hatte schon angefangen die Serie in Frankreich zu schauen, aber ob die die gleichen Zensuren enthält...? Das würde mich jetzt wirklich interessieren.^^; Schließlich läuft Naruto dort schon SEHR viel länger als hier.^^;

[bf_nightingale]

Zabusa. Wie kam ich grad auf Zarashi?!Oo;
