Okay, everybody, think of as many bad school-related puns as you can and apply them to Naruto! Cartoon Network might hire you. That ad cracked me up hard - "Don't be tardy to THIS school or you'll end up in PERMANENT detention!". Muted, though, it was pretty good. :P

Anyways, now that I've seen it, though, I think what I said here about the Hokage thing was right. And I don't think the announcer guy's pronunciation is necessarily how they'll pronounce it in the show(I doubt he has a part in the dubbing). Viz/Shoppro got eee-nu-ya-sha and most of the pronunciations on that series correct, so I think they'll do okay with this one. Sasuke's is the one I'm most worried about anyways(it'll suck if they say "sah-soo-kay"). ^^;

Anyways, the main thing I wanted to ask was this: is the show going to be on every weekday or just once a week? I remember Toonami was cut to just Saturday nights and replaced with that thing with the girl and the aliens watching Teen Titans and TMNT(Mizuki?), but...that was a long time ago.

About the school thing, I personally it's because the first episodes take place in the Ninja Academy and most of the personalities are developed there. It isn't till the Chuunin exam where the series stays away from the academy and focuses on the Ninja world aspect of it.

About your question, my guess it's gonna be a once a week deal because like you said, they changed toonami to once every saturday with the everyday Miguzi (the name of the block) action block.

Okay...I haven't really watched non-Venture Bros. CN programming since October, so I wasn't sure if that was still the case. Back then, it seemed like Toonami had turned into a night-time dumping ground for reruns of DBZ and the like, so I thought with the new programming they might be planning to expand it again. If it's going to be Saturday nights, I'll have to record it every week since I'll be at work.

And I don't mind the Academy thing so much, just the excessive puns(though I'm amused by the idea of Rock Lee beating up Sasuke for lunch money). :P

Inuyasha has gotten pretty far at once-a-week. And it should mean shorter rerun periods as they're dubbing the next "season" of episodes.

Ah, I didn't know that. *not much of a YYH fan - though Koenma owns*

About the only on-air tv shows I've watched regularly over the past year are Home Movies, Venture Bros., Arrested Development, and The Daily Show...and only one of them has even been airing lately. So I'm really not up-to-speed. :P

But, doesn't Naruto air once a week in Japan as well? Or do they run it everyday?

I know Toonami currently only runs on Saturday but I'm hoping the attention Naruto brings will convince Toonami to return to its schedule of long ago. I guess Naruto could always fit into the old Yugioh slot of 8:30 p.m.

I agree that the announcer always makes things seem much worse than the actual show will. He has to be as random as possible to generate the most interest. I mean, if I'd never seen Naruto and I saw that commercial, I'd be *quite* interested. Also, since it's geared toward the young males, they have to focus on the school and the fighting in the commercial. Not that likely that it'll carry over to actual dubbing. I do share the worry about pronouncing Sasuke though, but I think the companies may be learning about the u.

I'm sure that all the voice actors had practice pronouncing all the names before they record a show.
