Naruto Shounen Hen

[Takeshi]

"New" Naruto series "Naruto ~Shounen Hen~" will begin next week (Wednesdays & Thurdays at 5:30pm). It's Naruto just second rerun.

It will have different OP&ED than original rerun and first airing. Might have other stuff too.

Assuming there's new OP&ED animation it's possible money used on this might have had use in Shippuden budget.(Assuming they change them every so often)

Opening:

「道標」スーパービーバー（ＥＰＩＣ　ＲＥＣＯＲＤＳ）
"Guide Post" by SUPER BEAVER

Ending:

EP1:
「深呼吸」スーパービーバー（ＥＰＩＣ　ＲＥＣＯＲＤＳ）
"Shinkokyuu" by SUPER BEAVER (current shippuden ED)

EP2:
「ホタルノヒカリ」いきものがかり（ＥＰＩＣレコードジャパン）
"Sha la la" by Ikimonogakari (current shippuden OP)

I wonder if anyone will be subbing this.. Honestly, I doubt it. I guess a few episodes would be fun to watch, only for the new OP&ED animation. And people who've been wanting to watch Naruto again could follow this.

Also, the video quality will probably be an upscale just like we saw in the flashbacks when Shippuuden returned to cannon.

To sum everything up:

1. Naruto will be re-airing under a different name: Naruto Shounen Hen.
2. It will be a re-airing just like Dragonball Kai, though without the re-recording of voices and BGM, they will stay the same.
3. They will animate new OP and EDs. Source was wrong --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JULpL5IDdog
4. Any fillers will be left out. Though it's uncertain if they'll cut in the episodes since cannon and fillers was sometimes current at the same time.

Temari's battle against Ten-Ten and other things I can't remember.

even less Ten-Ten? gutted.

also, Naruto started 2002 didn't it? a remake already, while Shippuden is still airing...its just facepalm

It's not a remake, it's a re-airing.

But if you look at things like Beverly Hills which have been airing in Denmark (since it first aired) for nearly 17 years then you suddenly don't feel that it's such a bad thing to air Naruto again. I mean, the show is uber-poular in Japan. I don't see this as an attempt to milk some money. God have mercy on Viz if they pick this up as Funimation picked up DBKAI.

if its just a re-air and nothing else then am not really bothered - its only if they decide to change things abit as it goes on (OP/ED could be the start of other small changes), all there attention should be focused on Shippuden for the time been.

Agreed. Shippuuden really needs to mantain a somewhat decent level. Though I can see it going in the right direction now.

[newy]

Shippuuden needs a raise in level

They will probably sub just the OP and ED xD

[Havoc10K]

if it's a re-air, no need to re-sub it at all, the op/ed might need some subbing, everything else, just paste in, l mean, it will be a ful lseason without the fillers so l guess it's gonna be like half of the 200 eps ?

100 eps aint a bad idea l guess.
