I watched <i>Laputa</i> a few months back and we went about ten minutes in English (since we had some sub-haters in the crowd) before everyone unanimously decided Japanese was better. I think my wife will be happy to lift the moratorium on Naruto-talk in her classroom. Her students are always trying to ask her, "Oh! Have you gotten to the part where...?" It's always pretty frustrating for the kids when she threatens to behead them if they give anything away. Oh, I believe it.

I think my wife will be happy to lift the moratorium on Naruto-talk in her classroom. Her students are always trying to ask her, “Oh! Have you gotten to the part where…?” It’s always pretty frustrating for the kids when she threatens to behead them if they give anything away.

It goes way beyond the episodes, which are known as Naruto: Shippuden now. Within a day of the release of the manga, the 'net has subtitled pages set to music up on youtube. And you'll find if you start watching the subtitled episodes with the japanese voice actors online, some of the American voices will really, really grate on you after. Heh.

I could be wrong about this. It may be a good realization. I do wish Shonen Jump sold more, but I am a little bit old to be reading most Manga (29) and Shonen Jump.

It's always a struggle to coerce them to refrain from giving away things that won't happen for six more volumes. My wife and I will be happy to finally have caught up to anything remotely current. Chalk it up to YouTube maybe, but all those kids have seen all kinds of animated episodes beyond where the books are currently stalled - and I for one am jealous.

The trades were moving in lock-step with the cartoons on Cartoon Network. However, in Japan the Cartoon went through about a year where the cartoon out-paced the manga, and there's about 70 episodes that are labeled as "filler." It's not until about episde 200 that they go to the Three Years Later storyline (which predates DC's OYL idea, and actually changed everything by moving the story forward). CN would be smart to skip the 70 filler episodes, as some are in the really, really bad department. But even if they speed up to Volume 27, they're still behind the japanese manga by about a half year. I guess this is a little spin control, as the complaint is always that Japan is so far ahead of us on the story. The other posibility is that Viz finally figured out that the glacial pace wasn't making for more sales of Jump. Instead, it was making people download the comics translated by netizens.
