A few questions about the English Dub of Naruto?!
Question: 1: Why are there no ending songs in the dub? I am sick of Rise (instrumental) after every episode!!!
2: Why did they use Rise for seasons 1 and 2?!
3: Why is toonami showing 2 new episodes on saturdays all of a sudden?
(lastly, bear with me here)
4: How come they dont make changes in the openings as new characters are introduced and have credits in the openings? (ex: Tsunade on the scrolling backdrop in the 4th opening, Shikamaru in his chuunin jacket, Kimimaro, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari in the 5th opening)
i just wanted to ask all of my questions in one shot
thanks in advance

1&2: less money. it's easier for them because they would have to edit the endings of teh japanese anyways because of characters
3. Because the manga in america is coming out 3 per month rather than 1 per 2 months. they are following the big bang of manga so that that doesn't get ahead of the show at all. Plus because Shippuden is coming out soon in manga and they need to catch up and put maybe some fillers in (the more important oens)
4. Because of money costs again. they are just stupid too. They don't want to show characters because you haven't even seen them in the american manga. but everyone knows they are coming because they see or read the japanese version.
about questions 1,2,4, it's not like as if they do that on purpose, they probably got it like that.
question 3, cuz they're stupid, i wanna see an episode everyday!
that's why people watch the subbed version, and if you really like the dub buy the uncut DVDs the have all openings and endings including changes.
Honestly, I hate Naruto in the English version. Everyone's voices sort of sound gay. That's why I just stick to reading the manga and watching the Japanese version. I think Toonami is trying to catch up since they are seriously behind.
1 i guess since they have to explain whats going on and most english shows dont have an ending theme, or better yet any animation
2 i guess that it would save the company money
3 so they can finish part one quickly, that way they can head into the dubbing of shippuden earlier and have it out in america earlier
4 cause, that would take more time, energy, and money i guess
hope this helps
1. It might be to cut time. Anime broadcasted on TV used to sometimes cut the opening or ending songs completely or have english versions. This might still be the case
2. To save money or the same as above. There was this taboo of using Japanese singing. Recently I've seen the original Japanese music in anime on TV. I was shocked because they used to not do that.
3.They don't have something better to air? They might be expecting new episodes soon? Maybe there's a high demand to show more on Saturday. Cartoon Network has made poor choices in the past on what to air and when. They have some reason to it, but it may not make sense to the fans.
4. Money, time
You had a lot of great questions, but unfortunately you won't get any definite answers. Hopefully the answers help you get a little better understanding.
I say shut up and stop complaining. I am really tired of people with this stupid dub thing. If you dont like it....DONT WATCH IT!!!! And DONT concern yourself with it!!
Its really not that hard!!
And youre welcome.
