Naruto not subbed by AnimeOne anymore

[Kazuya_UK]

Just posting this as a quick note to anyone who watches Naruto, but don't get too worried. Aone and Anbu are no longer working on subbing Naruto together anymore, but Anbu are carrying on with it themselves (at least until it gets licensed which seems likely at some point). Anbu do good quality stuff though so it shouldn't make any difference really, although Anbu have said that they think they'll be able to release stuff more quickly now, which is cool

In an effort to stifle any rumors or misconceptions, we regret to inform our visitors and the anime community that we have decided to terminate the joint project with AnimeONE. While we enjoyed AnimeONE's pursuit of quality, the price came at too high of a cost: stability and timeliness.

As a result, we have determined that it would be within our best interest to break the joint with AONE and continue to do the series with a staff more dedicated to the project. This is so that we may ensure that we can provide a high quality release of Naruto within a reasonable time frame.

It is our goal that through this decision, we will be able to release episodes on a consistent basis. We hope you will be supportive of us as we tackle this endeavor, and thank you for your patronage.

For more info, go to Anbu's site . Episodes 95-96 are now out by them anyways (double episode this week!).

Interesting. I would usually get one of the crappier subs then pick up the anbu ones later but now it looks like they'll finally be up to speed again

GO ANBU!

Just watched ANBU's 95-96, looks a little different but seems good quality. Aone actually *are* still doing Naruto though and have released their version too... not seen it yet but I'd assume it's also good quality. Not sure which episodes I will be hanging on to in future.

Spoiler space:






































Episodes 95-96 was pretty darn cool, but would have been nice to see a PROPER conclusion to the Orochimaru saga. I've never read the manga though so I have no idea how that goes

Since i'm reading the manga. The really REALLY good part starts next episodes. I'd like to call it "The Sasuke Saga"

Yep just finished watching 95-96 myself. Very good battle scene.

97 by ANBU came out yesterday... looks like they really *are* getting them done quick and they still seem like good quality! ;D Gonna look at the AOne version when it comes out though to compare...

The fight was actually extended in the anime, in the manga I think it just ends with Tsunade just giving Orochimaru a one powerfull punch to the jaw after freeing hereself from the grip of Oro's long tongue but in anime Oro doesnt just get one punch, Tsunade gives the beating of his life.(And I loved it!) ;D

97 was one hell of a filler though. Nothing about it occured in the manga
