Cuts, cuts², cuts³ in the German Naruto version  
Well, as I´ve already told you in this post Naruto is now on German tv.
A lot of people have been complaining about the German version.
The voices are not fitting, they pronounce some of the names wrong.
And the German opening which isn´t even in German is horrible, too !!

You can have a look at the German opening here:

But the most annoying thing are the cuts. We have the US version of Naruto - and as you might know there are already a lot of cuts - but the German version has even MORE cuts !
I want to give you some examples here - you will soon know what I´m talking about:

The Japanese original version:


The US version:


The German version:


See any difference ? (-__-;) ...

So as you can see the Americans cut out the weapon and a BIT of the blood. The Germans cut out the WHOLE thing !!! So as you can imagine the story changes a lot with stuff like that !!!
Everyone looks shocked and we Germans only think "Huh ? Why ? He has only a SMALL wound that isn´t even bleeding !!!" ... OMG ! *shakes head*


More examples ?

The Japanese original version:

Sasuke is wounded seriously.

The US version:

They edited this scene a little bit. See ? Less blood !

The German version:

Ahr ... un ... Sasuke is totally fine !?! Then why is Sakura fainting in the German version ????!!!!!! WERFASDHRTASD !!! (x_x;) ...



The original + US version:


The German version:

Hah!!~ Where did that weapon go ??? (x_x;)



The original and US version:


The German version:

They painted over the shurikens (O___O;) .....



The Japanese original version:


The German version:

Ok, now where did the blood go ??? You know nosebleeding is only a metapher for another thing .. yes we ALL know ! Would it be better if they show THAT directly ? XDDDDD ... Oh man .. it´s just NOSEbleeding !!! WTF!? Why cut that out ? (x___x;) ....



The Japanese original version:


The German version:

WTF!? It was only a REALLY small amount of blood around his mouth and even THAT is cut out ? o___o .....



The Japanese original version:


The German version:

I have no words .... why even paint over that kanji on the bottle ??!!!????!!! ... *sigh*



The Japanese origina + USl version:


The German version:

Yes, they actually DID it. ... They DID it. ..... I´m curious how he will fight with not really having a weapon. How can they DO that ?
Why are they broadcasting a series that they obviously consider to be too violent ???!!!! THEN broadcast sport series or e.g. Yakitate Japan! .. oh no wait, they´re throwing bread at horses, that´s NOT good ! The little kids might do that, too, and that´s just too cruel and violent, isn´t it ? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
If they want that series to be for LITTLE children then why did they make an ENGLISH opening ???!!! Little children in Germany CAN´T understand English you know ?!? XDDDDDD .... oh well.



Finally some scenes that were totally left out !:


I don´t know why this had to be cut out. I don´t get it o__O; ....


Yes one of the BEST scenes !!! ARGH why did they cut that out ? (;_____;) ....



Well there is a lot more, but I just wanted to give you a short overview.
If you want to see more about each episode go to Animedigital (although it´s in German, but the screencaps say it all, so you will understand even without knowing German !)

The german version had both me and my friend in stitches (with our mediocre German skillz) with some bits. Particularly the episode with the mirrors and Haku. Naruto is so worried about Sasuke and yet, instead of being a human porcupine, he's just stood there, shaking a little. It doesn't even show him faint!

Can't take credit for the icon, I'm afraid. [livejournal.com profile] killabarbie made it ^^ She did a 1 Litre of Tears batch a while ago...

*lol* yes there are SOME parts where you don´t get why the charas act like they DO cuz scenes are completely left out or dialogs are changed (like the thing with Haku disappearing instead of dying XD) - especially later on with Orochimaru (-_-;) ... I´m so glad that they´re going to show only the first 52 episodes and I guess they won´t show more episodes in the future XDDDD At least I hope so.
And Naruto´s voice in Germany is so .. yuck ! I LOVE the Japanese voice though ^^

Oh, yes I think I remember seeing some 1 Litre icons (besides all of her TeniPuri icons) a while ago ^-^
