Naruto is nothing like Dbz, and it might be on As

He meant in terms in popularity that it will be as popular as DBZ.

I'm not sure what you mean by As but if you meant AS for Adult Swim then no it's already been announce that it's going to be shown on Toonami... just like DBZ was.

Oh come now, Vic Viper/QAHY was complaining because two other people learned about Inuyasha. Seriously, how does more people getting interested in something make it less enjoyable for you? What changes besides the number of fans? It's not like licenses and localization put that big a dent in the fansubbing groups.

And to say that Naruto is nothing like DBZ is stretching the truth a bit. They both have a basic shonen template of good-hearted, kinda dumb hero training to get stronger to face stronger and stronger enemies. And IIRC didn't Kishimoto claimed that Dragonball was a major inspiration?

Which isn't to say that they're cookie-cutter copies, but there are definate similarities.

And CN seems to feel shonen fits best in their toonami block. Why would they give up the lucrative kids market for a hit like Naruto? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see Naruto toys in a kids meal or something similar in a year or so.

Would someone mind stopping the Naruto fanboyism? Whining because a series get licensed is lame, and the reasons invoked were worse. I don't really see the problem with what Woland said.

As for the censorship on One Piece Saiya, yeah it looks bad indeed, and I wonder what they'll do when they get to the late arcs of the series.
