Naruto Place - News for Naruto on Cartoon Network

I updated the site over the weekend, mainly to the backend stuff which changed a bunch of URL addresses. One of the added feature is the commenting ability so that readers can add comments to my new posts.

For those of you who use RSS feeds, the feed URL has changed so the old RSS feed will not work.

The new RSS feed is http://www.narutoplace.com/feed/.

I’m really sorry for this inconvenience.

If you don’t know what RSS feeds are, they are basically a type of HTML code that allows software programs or web programs to interpret. The best way I can describe it is it works very similar to an email. When you get a new email, the new email shows up in your inbox. Now, if you subscribe to a feed, the software program or web program you use will let you know when there is a new article.

For example, if you use My Yahoo!, you can add these RSS feeds to it. Just click on this: .

If you thought last episode was good, this next episode on Saturday October 29 is going to be even better!! I hope I don’t hype it up too much for you. The episode is entitled Kakashi: The Sharingan Warrior.

Last episode, Kakashi was trapped in a water prison. Naruto and Sasuke fought to try to free him. Did their plan work??

Well, Naruto is back once again on Saturday October 22. The episode is entitled The Oath of Pain. Last episode ended with Kakashi holding Zabuza down from behind with a knife right against his neck. This new episode will continue from there and it will be another good one.

Naruto Episode 7, entitled The Assassin of the Mist was another great episode. It introduced a new villain character named Zabuza. In this episode there were two minor edits done to make this more PG. Find out what they are at Naruto Episode 7 Edits page.

So after some digging around, I found out that the Naruto Volume 1 – Enter Naruto DVD will contain the first 4 episodes of Naruto. The episodes will be identical to the ones aired on Cartoon Network which means these episodes are not the unedited version.

The uncut DVD version will be released sometime in July. It will contain 13 episodes. There is no definite announcement on the prices of this 13 episode box set yet but people are estimating it will run between $30 to $40.

Unfortunately for this Saturday, there is no rerun of last week’s episode. You can check out a recap of Naruto Episode 6 written over at Happycrumb though.

It’s finally happened!! VIZ Media, who owns publishing rights for Naruto in North America, has announced that they will be releasing their first Naruto DVD on March 28, 2006. The DVD is called Naruto Volume 1 – Enter Naruto.

No word as of yet on how many episodes is in there and if there is any special features. The retail price for the DVD is $19.98.

Too bad DVD won’t be out by the December holidays because it would have made a great present.
