Naruto, for me, like Inuyasha, just was too long. I love a good money maker as much as the next person, but unles you've got something REALLY gripping, 100+ episodes it FAR too much. Much better shows have been made with a quarter the episodes of Naruto.
I watch it on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, I dont know if the editing is any different than 4 Kids, I assume it is due to air time and the general...uh...audience of AS's shows, but it's not the editing that bugs me, it's just...well, not a real good show IMO. It's just a new DBZ with new characters and new powers.
I've actually seen some of the uncut Naruto...my friend showed me some fansubs before it started airing, and...still...it's just like...DBZ. Long, drawn out fights with people who take a beating that would put Superman in his place and they still get up because of "love" or "honor" or some crap like that., and then, worst of all, they win! ugh, and why do bad-guys always run off when a kid shows they're not dead yet?
Bad-guy Rule 1: When you have the chance, kill your enemy. Dont ask questions, dont make a speach, no fruity goodbyes or trying to turn them, just kill them and get it over with.
Naruto's great for that mindless DBZ fighting and action and stupid antics, but beyond that, I really dont think it's very good.
