Editorial: Naruto and The Future of the UK Anime Industry

From some of the video i saw from the Uk Manga Naruto dvd version, all i know is that everything is the same(apart from that the uk version has like 2 extra, extra's which are not very ''wow''), even the subtitles are the exact same font and style as the VIZ usa release.
and also the luky uk buyers of the dvd wont have to get annoyed at the constant appearence of the term 'Shonen Jump's' obove the naruto logo whenever it is shown (that is probably my biggest annoyance with my Us one.)

would like to hear some info from the uk owners of the dvd.

Didn't you same something earlier about there being no subtitles for onscreen text in the US release? Manga's version has subs for some but not all onscreen text :). Only watch disc 1 so far and am really pleased with it.
 
Ok, I wrote a whole assload of stuff about this on Toonzone so I'm copying, my bad.

Just watched the first two episodes and it's completely uncut and then some. They even have the "This show is sponcered by" cards (Intro and Outro), the "Tune in for the next episode!" Card and then a full english credits (Musicless). Bravo, Manga, You certeinly pulled this one off nicely, quabbles about certain word conversions aside (Art of Eros, using the "Mr." thing for teachers, Noodles, nonsenve that doesn't realy matter worth a damn realy if your out for an uncut DVD, it's just diffrent way of saying nonsence).

And now, DVD CAPTION NO JUTSU!

There is?? thats kool!
if possible take some screencaps so i can just see for myslef and also check again wether or not i may have missed it on the US dvd.
EDIT - damn looks like i posted this late, left it on the preview page for too long hehe.
thos epics look interesting, looking forward to more, and if possible some pics of subtitles that translate onscreen text please :)
 
I'm really glad it's a thinpack...I HATE foldouts. Generally, they're awkward and SO easy to damage.

Really cool that some people have theirs already...I only ordered mine on Thursday night, because I thought it wouldn't come until Monday either way...maybe I'll preorder vol 2 way in advance. >_>
 
From the point of view of a complete Naruto newbie (I have a vague recollection of seeing ep #1 on fansubs ages ago but that's it) the first few eps are helluva lot of fun and are presented really well. The subs read fine and the packaging is really nice too: the standard keepcase in cardboard sleeve that's typical of Manga Ent's stuff, with all three discs stacked up on the same button thingy. Kind on shelf space indeed. :)

I dunno, A brick like the Tenchi Myou boxset would have not have been missed.
 
Why on earth would people want huge boxes taking up their shelf space rather than a neat little normal sized DVD case goes beyond me.
 
Got mine today, and I have to say I LOVE how it's just in a standard-size DVD box.

I'm always kinda reluctant to buy boxsets online, because they usually don't fit through the letterbox, so I have to make a journey to the sorting office if it was delivered when I was out, which is kinda inconvenient...but this just popped nicely through the door. :D

Possibly a daft question, but is there any way to watch the "RISE~!" dub opening? :$
