The American television network Adult Swim will put the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 anime series on hiatus starting next week until further notice, and will repeat two episodes in the series every week in the meantime. On the other hand, Adult Swim has added a second new episode of the Bleach anime series every week for a one-hour block from 12:30 P.M. to 1:30 P.M. Code Geass R2 went on an earlier three-week hiatus in late December and early January.

25 episodes of the first Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion series are now available on Bandai Entertainment's YouTube channel with the choice of English subtitles or English dubbing. The first episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 have been added to YouTube. Bandai Entertainment has not yet responded to ANN's request for comments.

Adult Swim's sibling Cartoon Network currently does not list Naruto in its upcoming schedule. Until last month, the network paired Naruto with a film for its "Action Flicks" block. The latest English-subtitled episodes of the Naruto Shippūden sequel are available from Crunchyroll website, and earlier episodes are being posted weekly to Viz Media's Naruto.com, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Joost, and ANN.

There actually has not been a new episode of Naruto since January 31, 2009.

So, there would be no more Naruto showings in Cartoon Network?

ANN says that it's on hiatus, not that it's cancelled/dropped.

Episodes 210-220 will air eventually, just not anytime in the near future at the moment.

Ah, I see. Well, this is interesting.

However, what was their reason for this decision...?

 

[Vernikova]

I think its not going to finish its run. Action Flicks is no more and Naruto only had a few episodes left so I don't see a reason to wait around for it.

 

[The Mega Champion]

This is ********.

I'm going to ******* kill Cartoon Network. All of them. I swear I will.

 

[Vernikova]

Just buy the DVDs. They aren't that expensive.

 

[The Mega Champion]

The DVD's with episodes 209-220 aren't out yet.

Not the ENGLISH DUBBED DVD's anyway.

I prefer anime dubbed thank you very much.

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

THANK GOD um I mean...

Well, I may not like Naruto at all for myself, I have many friends who like the show. I'm sure they'll watch the subtitled versions though, because the dubbed version is God awful.

So I guess it doesn't even matter then XD

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Dude, it's just a crappy anime starring a dim witted kid who screams "believe it" every twenty seconds.
Stop acting like an emotionally deranged teenage girl screaming at someone for disliking Twilight.

There is no need for such violence, young man.

How about downloading the episodes from the internet?

I wish I knew that myself.

If Episodes 210-220 never air english dubbed, there's always the DVDs.

I'm as angry as you are, but there's no need for censoring your swears.

Just buy the DVDs. They aren't that expensive.

Neither the edited DVDs nor the uncut DVDs have caught up to Episodes 210-220 yet.

The DVD's with episodes 209-220 aren't out yet.

Not the ENGLISH DUBBED DVD's anyway.

I prefer anime dubbed thank you very much.

First off, Episode 209 HAS aired english dubbed on Cartoon Network. It's Episodes 210-220 (11 episodes) that haven't aired english dubbed.

Secondly, U.S. anime DVDs nowadays are bilingual/dual audio, with the option of subtitles.

Dude, it's just a crappy anime starring a dim witted kid who screams "believe it" every twenty seconds.
Stop acting like an emotionally deranged teenage girl screaming at someone for disliking Twilight.

That's your opinion, and he is entitled to have an opinion different from yours.

He only watches the english dub remember?

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

Do you think that the reason why they're causing a hiatus is because of either a finnancial situation or just that all of the voice actors fell in a pit and had their lungs impaled so they couldn't produce those hideous voices anymore?

Honestly. I don't like Naruto, but I don't see why you people can just watch those episodes in Japanese with subtitles. They have better voices, anyhow. Unless... unless you can't read.

Then you really wouldn't be here, would you XD

 

[ShadowDragon~]

[opinion]Cool, and the "believe it" part is a dub exclusive, making it even suckier dubbed, tough i might just watch a couple, to see the dubbed voices compared to the jap voices (since shippuuden is 2 years later)[/opinion]

My 4 Reasons for never watching Naruto subbed or RAW and always watching Naruto english dubbed:

1.) I don't understand the Japanese language at all, nor will I ever try to attempt to learn it.

2.) I hate reading subtitles, they're annoying and are in the way. Plus they always distract me, causing me to have to rewind all of the time.

3.) I prefer to listen Naruto in my language, which is English.

4.) I am very patient, therefore I can deal with waiting for Naruto to be slowly english dubbed and released in the U.S.

 

[BHwolfgang]

Well, if you're patience enough, then it's worth it.

If it was free, then I would still be watching it raw.
