Target audience

[Ebottif]

So Naruto has been aired on Nickelodeon and I don't know if it still is but that isn't the point. Online it says that Naruto Shippuden is okay for kids 10 years and up. What might this mean for the future of the series? Do you think that Kishi may refrain from killing off protagonists because it would upset younger viewers?

Don't get me wrong- I still think there's at least one important death coming our way. But, in your opinion, could that have anything to do with?

Pretty sure they'll cut out and edit the violent parts for the young ones

 

[AP2k]

No, hes already killed jiraiya. This isnt avatar where they dont kill anyone. And naruto used to run on toonami. I think the target audience is 14-20's

 

[david216]

No it won't change. They will just change the amount of gore involved in someone's death. There's a thread that shows the differences between manga and anime. Also if I'm correct I'm pretty sure English naruto has always been censored in some way.

I don't think Kishi gives a flying **** about Nickelodeon. From previous interviews I've read, it seems he's kind of oblivious to American's opinions about his work and is just happy they're buying it.

 

[MutantWhale]

I never knew it aired on Nick

 

[El Batman]

Naruto is on nickoldean now?

 

[naruto1246]

i just got one question... why, why would they out naruto on that ****ing... it shouldnt be on Nickelodeon naruto is to good for ten year olds

Yeah. He's killed jiraiya. But that's really the only significant character so far. Maybe some would argue Hiruzen/Asuma but I don't think viewers were as attached to them.

me 2 cuz i got no cable

 

[The Work]

Heck no they just need to put it on Toonami because i don't like the shows on it right now D:

 

[Ebottif]

Okay so I tried to find some proof of it on Nickelodeon and I think I may have mistaken it for DisneyXD ._. Is that better or worse?

Naruto did not air on nick. It last aired on the Disney channel but got cancelled. It was extremely censored by the way.

Kids are gonna think Itachi is a pansy. Everytime he fires off an Amaterasu he cries.

 

[AP2k]

Yeah. He's killed jiraiya. But that's really the only significant character so far. Maybe some would argue Hiruzen/Asuma but I don't think viewers were as attached to them.

Eh, all the akatsuki died. They'll probably have to censor some stuff (Hidans satanic stuff, Asumas smoking, tsunades boobs, deidara/hidan/kakuzus language, stuff like that).

Doubt it will make it past part one, theyll probably have to censor zakus arm exploding and stuff like that.

Yeah, caught that ^^ Thank you. Is Disney channel for older viewers? Do you know?

 

[Jyuubislayer]
