I just saw a Naruto and Bobobo preview on Cartoon Network.
It will be repeated again later today at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 EST, if you missed it.
They pronounced Naruto right and it seems they translated Konahagakure to Hidden Leaf Village and they changed Hokage to "Head Ninja".
There was another preview for One Piece, but it sucked immensely. 
It was Usopp vs. Kuro and it was 4K!ds Dubsopp and Dubkuro at their very worst.
It was also heavily edited. <_<
Hell yeah! I was wanting Bobobo on their more than Naruto. Mabey they can get rid of some of the sucky Toonami shows. Here's exactle what the Toonami lineup should be (including Naruto and Bobobo)
Rurouni Kenshin
Yu Yu Hakusho
Zatch Bell
One Piece
Bobobo
Naruto
Megas XLR (Funny as hell)
Get rid of Justice League, Duel Masters, and Rave Master and never play Dragonball ever again (It's not that it's a bad series it's just so overplayed)
"I Need Mo' Allowence!"
Dragonball? They don't play it anymore. I miss it.
too cheap to get the dvds
Did that thing just come out today?
I guessing it did. Dont worry Buc, I wasn't bashing dragonball i'm just tired of the reruns. i think they oughta put the movies back on though because, like you, I am too cheap to buy the dvds. I know that Shopro (The people who dub Konjiki no Gash Bell!! / Zatch Bell) is dubbing Naruto but who's the company thats dubbing Bobobo? Is it Shopro or someone else?
Sounds ok, but "Head Ninja" will probably sound a bit clumsy, especially when putting 3rd, 4th or 5th in front of it. :mellow:
Yeah, I hope that its the only name change. Mabey they could go a little closer to the manga though and call him "Head Ninja Hokage". If they don't I guarantee some narutards will get their panties in a twist. Heads will roll over that one thing.
It's no rumor, ShoPro has it.
Shopro has Bobobo? Well, as long as they leave all the humor in it, i'll be just fine. When did it say they were premiering?
Oh whoops, I'm sorry I misread your post, I thought you meant Naruto.

It said it was premiering this Summer/Fall.
And the Bobo-bo preview was hilarious, it shown Bobobo in a dress, and the announcer was saying how funny Bobobo is. So, from the preview it looked like the humor was intact, but who knows what edits may be in store for us later this year? I'll definitely be watching the first episode of Naruto and Bobobo on Toonami, and if they are good I'll keep watching. If they are heavily edited, like 4K!ds One Piece, I will despise them greatly and I'll just purchase the Japanese manga and translate it myself. And I'll be in Bobobo bliss.
I´ve seen Bobobo here(in spain) and it´s the most hilarious anime in the world ^^. I´d like to see Megas XLR too, but i can´t because the show it about 00:00…
I want to see bobobo since it looks hilarious and I love humour :lol: too bad I don't have the cartoon network with toonami.
'Head Ninja' sounds a bit… un-ninjaish (made that up). Like having Naruto saying that his goal is to become the Head Ninja!

Man, I really wanted to see the Bobobo preview. I guess I missed it while I was out at lunch. :(
It was on the Cartoon Networks Summer Kickoff Special? I will have to see it at three. I wonder if Viz is gonna release the Bobobo manga. If they do, I hope it goes in the magazine and not the GNs. Put Shaman King in a GN line because it is probobly the most boring manga in the whole magazine next to Hikaru no Go.
Um, just a slight comment on the "head ninja" thing, did the preview pretty much confirm that that woudl be the name instead of "Hokage"? Or did they just use it because the word "Hokage" would have little to no meaning to anybody who had never seen or heard of Naruto before?
It could be either one actually. I just hope they don't change any of the Bobobo names. I have a suspision that Tokorou Tennousuke's will be changed though. Long names usually are chaged or shortened. It will either be Tokorou, Tennousuke, Tennou, Ten, Tokou or something of that nature.

I'd rather watch Justice League than One Piece dub.
EDIT: I just saw the previews, and it looks like Toonami will do a good job with the series. I think they just used "Head Ninja" (the annoucner said it) to let the viewer know what the hell they were talking about.
From what I could tell, the clips they used were Japanese, which I guess means they aren't totally done dubbing. But I dunno, it was hard to hear.
The Bo-bobo clips were still JP. They pronoucned Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo wrong. But whatever. I'm actually excited for it.

Exactly what I was going to say.
I dunno how many ways you can pronounce "Bobobo." ;)
Good thing about Naruto though is it seems their leaving some of the blood in, from the scene of Naruto tying his headband and there was blood dripping from his mouth. The also called the world of Bobobo the "Kingdom of Margarita" which I did'nt like.
That's what it's called in the original, man. Well, the Margarita Empre.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit

One.

In the manga it was the Maruhage Empire from what I remember. Allthough, I may be wrong but I could have swore it was Maruhage
The sub I have calls it Margarita.
And I didn't notice any freakish mispronouncaitions, really.
Yeah, thats how I usually say the title "Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo" It's just 7 "Bo's". I think it's probobly the most hilarious manga I have ver read. The anime looks to be just as great!
Some people know about Bobobo but here's asynopsis of the series for those who don't There may be spoilers so watch out.
Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo (ボボボーボ・ボーボボ ) is a manga by Yoshio Sawai, published by Shueisha in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The series will arrive in the United States in the summer of 2005; the manga has been licensed by Viz Media for an October 2005 release (No word on wheter or not it will be a Graphic Novel series or go in American SJ) and the anime adaptation will air on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block.
Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo is a comedy that uses puns, non-sequintial humor, double-talk, non-sexualized cross-dressing, visual gags, and satirical and pop-culture references, which make its humor very specific to Japanese audiences (much in the same way The Simpsons is often not as accessible to non-American audiences).
The story takes place in the year "300X". The evil "Maruhage Empire"(マルガリータ帝国), lit. baldshaven empire, led by Emperor Tsuru Tsururina the 4th(ツル・ツルリーナ) (his name is a katakana for something slippery), are taking over the world by stealing people's hair. The hero, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (whose name is a string of the japanese word Bo (ボ) used on lush vegetation or unkept hair. Can also be read as the word "mother"), is a powerful martial artist who as a child learned to "hear the voices of the hair", and can command his own body hair (including his nostril hair, chest hair, and armpit hair) to perform various martial arts dubbed Hanage Shinken(鼻毛真拳), meaning God Fist of the Hair. The series follows his various escapades as he teams up with many different oddball sidekicks to fight the Maruhage Empire.
The series mocks existing manga and anime conventions, making fun of more than a few fairly specifically: Doraemon, Sailor Moon (and the whole magical girl genre in general), PokÃ
mon, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh! and many others are used as humor fodder. The series also operates as a mockery of stereotypes in Japanese literature (for instance, the ideal of noble self-sacrifice) and Western popular culture (such as action films). While Bobobo is supposed to be the hero, his behavior is frequently self-important, childish, arbitrary and incomprehensible. However, this is also often how he deals with his enemies — by confusing them into submission. At various points the top of Bobobo's afro pops open, revealing a scene that is either an allegory for the state of Bobobo's own mind (i.e., when his powers fail him, we see a pair of boy-and-girl cartoon squirrels going through a divorce), or to unleash weapons. Bobobo even turns into a giant robot (or at least emulates its functions) a number of times. Other charchters include Beauty, the only sane person in the whole series, Don Patch, a little man who looks like a sun and gets his power from Coca Cola, Heppokomaru, master of the Fart Fist, and Tokorou Tennousuke, a Gumby looking fighter.
Rurouni Kenshin ( Toonami's 2 year contract to show Kenshin expired and the FCC kinda complained about the "very minor" editing.
Yu Yu Hakusho ( Yusuke killing Sensui, being a Mazoku (half demon) and the just plain out dark feel and violence of the rest of the show got it cancelled. Not too mention I am one of the only YYH fan's in America :
Zatch Bell (Why on earth did they change the name?)
One Piece (Will be canned very soon}
Bobobo (Not possible to be dubbed)
Naruto (The nightmare of Otaku everywhere begins, and so do their threats and hunger strikes)
Megas XLR (Funny as hell) (It was violently cancelled, though I don't know why)
FUNimation,please buy Bleach

That's Katakana for Margarita.
Thats how its spelled in the japanese manga so I guess it is Margarita, although in the scanlations and on some fansites it's refered to as Maruhage. Sorry bout that.
Kakashi is officially, according to NarutoFan, played by Steve Blum. :D :D
Also, Vic Mignoga is pursuing a role on the Naruto dub.
The Dragonball/Dragonball GT in England was dubbed by a company called Blue Water. They retained all the original music, along with the violence and so forth, but the voice acting was quite amateur-ish.
As for Bo-BoBo, I wouldn't be shocked if it had been called something like, "AFRO MAN", and they changed his name to Billy-Bob Bob.
Hmmn, I'm still a little concerned about the fate of dubbed Bo-BoBo.
Is it a commercial, or what? Do you hear any voices?
It was sort of a preview. you could hear screams and sound effects but no voices. It was raw footage of the original japanese version for both of them but they still look damn good.
How long was each preview and it's going to be on again at exactly 9:00 or sometime around then.
I have no doubt that ShoPro will do an excellent job on Naruto. Seriously, it can't be any worse than 4Kids attempt at One Piece and ShoPro is doing a pretty good job on the Gash Bell dub (I hate the show, I just think it's dub is done good.)

No surprise there.

Isn't he exclusive to FUNi though? Where did you hear this? If this is true, he'd make an excellent Gaara, IMO.

Well, the info was taken from NarutoFan.com.
From the founder, Tazmo.
He knew some guy that went to an anime convention and talked with Mignogna about Naruto.

Ah, you share my fangirlish excitement about that. :D If there's anybody to play Kakashi, it's Steve Blum.
I believe one of the anime magazines here there was a press release by ShoPro saying that the only edits will be the excessive blood (i.e they'll leave in small bits like blood at the mouth), swearing, and needles in Sasuke's neck when he fights Haku. Other than that, it's clean. However, we shall see if ShoPro follows through with this.
and since the announcer, not any of the characters, said "head ninja" that may not be the case for the actual dub and they'll still say Hokage. Or if they really want to be technical they may say "fire shadow."
There were previews? You gotta be fucking breaking my sack, and I missed it.
Could someone put the preveiw for BoBo and Naruto?
NarutoFan.com has the Naruto preview. I haven't seen a Bobo preview anywhere online though.
it doesnt even say anything, i dont know why you guys want it cause if youve read the thread you know everything about it
I got a chance to see it today. I wished they could of showed more, but all we got was Teen Titans crap. Looks good, two name changes already though doesn't sound good, hopefully the technique names will stick.
http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/ has it up
Hey Hey Guys, what if they have Jeff Bennet play Bobobo in his Johney Bravo voice? :lol:

You know as well as everyone else on this site that OP is doing just as bad on Toonami as it is on 4Kids TV. Don't preach crap to us Otaku. It will be canned after the first season and then CN will pull a Lupin The 3rd and show repeats for the rest of time. Even young tots know that dub Luffy sounds gay and that Pirates don't use rubber knives and cork guns. They will end up selling/giving One Piece to Sho Pro or FUNimation by the end of summer.
No, BoBo should be played by Marc Thompson and sound exactly like Mantaro Muscle. Don Patch should sound like Meat and the blue liquid guy should be played by Mike Myers and sound like Dr. Evil.
