I really think they should keep the original openings. -__- Wow, the German version was cut that much? O_O And I thought the U.S. version was majoryly cut. If you cut some of the scenes like the U.S. and Germany did, it doesn't make sense. Like the illusion of Sasuke fainting or dieing better yet, and Sasuke throwing the shurikens. The kanji on the bottle. And Zabuza's weapon, those really didn't need to be cut. XD

If I'm remembering correctly, I think that when Naruto first aired here in the U.S. that the "accidental" kiss between Naruto and Sasuke wasn't edited. Because I'm sure I remember watching it. But recently when I saw a rerun of that episode, I noticed it was cut. It doesn't mean anything, its just incredibly funny! You know, I think if there going to cut the episodes all to crap then they should air it on Adult Swim or something. Air the series at a later hour, or specific TV station. :P

I guess thats why I love the Japanese version of Naruto the best. *sigh*
