Am I the only one bothered by the Anime not showing Shikamaru smoking???

[PMCRW]

Frankly i know why they cut it out (the whole we dont want to encourage kids and what not), but that just makes me think more and more that the anime has gone to crap when comparing it to the previous Naruto series. Not only has the animation slacked big time but now they are just chopping up the original story like the amazon rain forest. I know its a minor bit of info but come on it not only shows Shika closeness to Asuma but he does eventually give it up after he fights Hidan.. IDK i felt like venting cause everytime i read the manga i am more and more convinced that it is that much better than the anime adaptation which is sad. I was so excited for Shippuden but man every week its a let down....

i totally agree,because i also dont know how they want to end the fight between shikamru and hidan
i mean how want they make the asuma out of smoke when shikamaru doesnt smoke and how will shikamaru activate the kibakufuda?? with a lighter??O.o
and it was kind of cool,too,when he was smoking^^

i never carred about shikamaru
but tow words to answer your quistion SINSERSHIP

[Shaunlim]

I don't really see the problem here. I mean Shikamaru wasn't really shown smoking in the manga except two parts. One after Asuma dies and another when he killed Hidan. Shikamaru can easily just lit the smoke and throw it to Hidan. He doesn't really have to smoke it.

doesnt really seem like a big deal to me. tbh im glad they cut it out.

They won't show him directly with the cig in his mouth and smoke coming out, but the anime team will do something to indicate he was/is smoking.

the anime went to shit ever since shitpoohden...Watching any episode prior to the timeskip makes me nostalgic and brings tears to my eyes. I don't see why they went through the trouble of having fillers for so long if they're not going to follow the manga 1:1...if they started right now, it would take them a while to catch up again...

I don't think smoking can be shown in children shows, must be a regulation or something in Japan imposed by the Government or commitee. They've added some filler which is mixed with the canon, which doesn't neccessarily make it that bad, except for Asuma filler move,. Apart from that they did the fight how it should have been,but they had to do some censorship because its a children's show.

I'm assuming since it was in shonen jump, they wouldn't have a problem doing it in the anime...maybe different regulations for print and television

its the case in germany
in the manga they publish they dont censor anything,
but in the anime they even censor a smal blood drop ô.ô
so the same thing could be in japan maybe??

[Dekker]

Nah. Here in Germany its way worse. You should be happy you guys never saw one episode of the Series. Extremly bad voiceactors, sometimes total mistranslations and they cut out that much that you wouldnt get what is going on sometimes. Realy a great way to shove an anime into the ass

Here for an Example

The most awesome thing is the nice Namespelling. Sasuuuuke, Schikamaru, Saakuura. Omg -.-

[Googlez_kun]

yeah they even cutted asumas smoking and if the original text says:Bastard!you're gonna diiie! they change it into :idiot!i'm going to hide you/kidnap you/make you vanish!
so we in germany are punished ^^''
anyway...in part 1 of naruto they didnt bothered to show a pierced haku and a pierced naruto and in shippuuden they dont show how shikamaru is smoking Ô.o

Always stick to japanese subs.

[Dekker]

you can bet on that

Sakon/Ukon's VA sucks, and Kimimaro was still in Japanese in his first scene :|

As for the censorship of Shikamaru smoking, I can understand why they'd do that, and I'm not really bothered with it. They'll do something for it.
