Naruto was only aired in Japan up until Disney XD began airing episodes on October 28, 2009. Owned and created by VIZ Media, the show was also available for viewers to stream and watch online.
Many fans of the show believe that Disney XD will “Disney-fy” the show, and will change the content and language of it.
While this could be partially the case, we would only agree with the statement above 100% if the show was acquired by the main Disney Channel, which airs such shows as “Hannah Montana,” “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “JONAS,” “Sonny With A Chance,” and “The Suite Life On Deck.”
However, Disney’s XD channel is aimed toward an older audience.
While it can be argued by Naruto Shippuden fans that Disney is not the place for their show, it is unfortunate that fans are blaming Disney for “stealing” their show from the mediums they used to watch it on. Disney did not jump aboard the show like a group of pirates and steal it away from the creators, rather these acquisitions take two parties agreeing on the same end result. Meaning, VIZ Media OK’d the deal.
What do YOU think about this?
