when are you going to get Naruto back on Cartoon Network. So I can watch it again and watch Naruto Shippuden.

Growing up I watched alot of anime. All of it was dubbed as I was too young to wrap my head around the concept of watching something and reading at the same time. I have since matured to be able to enjoy my anime subbed although I still prefer a dubbed format, the subbed still feels like a preview to the main event.

I had heard about naruto years before I saw it on cartoon network, but never could I imagined what I was missing until I spent several weeks in a row tuning in to watch naruto. The anime is in contrast to bleach in that bleach is extremely action driven with story taking a back seat while naruto seems like an extremely well balanced in both story and action with some surprises that keep you unable to guess what the manga writer is gonna do next. Most of the story I'm talking about is in shippuuden but let us not forget the original naruto.

I have even spread the word to many friends I have that I never would have ever imagined ever taking an interest in anime. They used to not be able to understand why I had an appreciation for anime, and while they never judged me until I got them heavily involved in naruto and all I did was tell them to tune in. They all watch now and we talk about the anime on a biweekly basis. I even have a friend who went into the military that downloads some episodes and watches them when he is out training in the field, it helps him pass the time and many in his unit watch with him. Immagine a platoon huddled around a laptop watching an anime.....I always laugh when I hear that.

While it is very exciting to be able to watch the anime on crunchyrol.com the day it comes out in japan streamlining is still an extremely volatile and I could go as far as to say an unstable medium to provide these episodes in a somewhat free medium as network television although the consumer does pay a fee for the service in this case comcast. While one person may be able to watch these episodes in their full 720p glory I on the other hand with 2 gigs worth of ram seem to be watching at a lower frame rate than my cousin does with her 2000 dollar laptop. And while these things evolve at the speed of light it could never beat a high quality download nor a digital broadcast.

I am genuinely concerned about my buddy who can't stand to watch naruto in any other format except dubbed. He watched naruto with his 8 year old son every saturday and now he can't and it doesn't seem like there is any light at the end of the tunnel so to speak with naruto coming back to cartoon network.

There is one other thing and this is the best thing I can give anyone who would read a 4-5 paragraph rant from a nobody. Microsoft has naruto episodes on their marketplace. Microsoft has a partnership with netflix for extremely good HD and high quality streams, for shows on network television such as csi's and heroes the day after they air on network tv and it looks as close to perfect as you can get. So if you could say get in touch with netflix and instigate a deal to a company that already buys your dvd's en mass than you may be able to streamline naruto in the most stable format available. And with companies like blockbuster going under may be able to help secure a company(netflix) that may be threatened due to the economy the way it is. And I highly doubt that netflix would turn you down especially with an anime that gets billions of streams and fans.

Thank you very much,
jake
