One really that truly worries me about US Naruto...

A lot of your are worried that they will ruin Naruto by doing really bad dubbing...

Some of you are worried that they are going to edit the series to the point where it isn't the same thing anymore...

But there is something that I am REALLY worried about the US version of Naruto...the music.

Naruto features some really, really awesome music. The opening and ending themes are some of the most inspired songs ever heard on an anime series, offering everything from J-pop to pop rock and even some funky stuff here and there. What worries me is that they are gonna butcher these great songs and replace them with really generic rock/rap music...

Imagine that instead of hearing the soothing and sad "Wind" piece or the awesome "Far off distance" you hear this...

"NARUTO! He's an awesome guy!
NARUTO! He's a super ninja!
NARUTO! He is really cool!
NARUTO NARUTO NARUTO NARUTO NARUTO NARUTO HEY!"

All set to some really bad and cheap orchestration, vocals and music (think the US Dragonball GT theme song..or the original DBZ theme for that matter...That's one aspect that will get me mad if the screw it up.

So what do you think? Agree, disagree?

Do they even have opening music on CN? I haven't watched it for so long...usually they just have a mish-mash of screencaps...Eh. Well, if they do, as long as it doesn't involve the words "Courage" "Heart" "Friendship" or "Together", I'll be okay.
