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 !)
