Naruto Uncut Box Set 9 Reviews

• The Road Towards The End

  
  By A2XRS4IWZQF7K9 on 2008-08-13
  I have seen these episodes and I was extremely moved and shocked. Most of the characters face their demons and try to just survive. I was saddened at the thought of these beloved character facing certain death. The way they would risk their life's for a comrade that has gone missing. It felt very natural and realistic, my bond with these characters was growing increasingly over these life-changing episodes that featured many mature themes that I thought this series wouldn't dare show. The realization that life is so short, so unpredictable, so cruel, for these ninjas. This box set should be on every Naruto fans DVD collection. This volume will shock many and maybe haunt you. This isn't just a TV show it's a journey. If you have seen these episodes you know the contents aren't for the faint of heart. If you are an avid naruto fanatic this box set is a must for you. I own a few and let me tell you they are worth the money I paid and they are apart of my collection. So if you are a fan this box set is a steal for just thirty bucks don't wait another minute purchase this Box Set. Trust me this won't disappoint.
  
  

• Beginning of the final story arc

  Volume 9 of the Uncut Box Set stays true to form. Everything from the previous box sets will be presented and displayed in pretty much the exact same ways containing 14 (mostly) filler free episodes over three discs in a 4x5x5 episode format. It contains a storyboard book that gives storyboard sketches for an episode of the show. Something similar can be seen in the extras on disc three, where they take eight scenes/pages from the storyboard booklet and play the animated scenes matching them.
  
  The story for the disc essentially begins the Sasuke Retrieval arc of the story, the final arc before the manga took its hiatus and restarted several years later with Naruto Shippuuden. Sasuke is finally too frustrated with his progress in Konoha. And when tempted by Orochimaru's bodyguards agrees to leave and seek his tutelage.
  
  The next day when this is discovered, the village leader, Tsunade commands Shikamaru, and whatever shinobi he can find, to go and retrieve Sasuke. He leaves with Naruto, Neji, Choji and Kiba and Akamaru. So begins a long chase scene, where the Leaf shinobi face off with Orochimaru's Sound Four one by one to get to Sasuke. While there is plenty of action, it is also tempered by the many flashback scenes. When the characters come near death, we end up seeing EVERY scene they've ever been in. And while it is somewhat understandable, seeing as this may be the last time these characters are seen alive, it is a bit too much.
  
  Overall, I'd have to say that Viz did not drop the ball on this. Any complaints I have are with the show's presentation, not the story or package design. You get a lot of action packed drama filled episodes for a VERY good price. If you've enjoyed the show up to this point you are not going to be disappointed, and I highly recommend it.
  
  

• The Mission To Bring Back A Traitor

  This box set finally gives us the episodes of when Sasuke betrays the Leaf Village and goes to Orochimaru for his greed to get greater power. After learning of Sasuke's betrayal and desertion Tsunade sends a group of Ninja to apprehend the traitor. As you can probably see I am definitely not a Sasuke fan there are some who say that he's being controlled by the curse mark Orochimaru gave him during the chunin exam but to me thats just B.S. the group Tsunade sends to retrieve him made up of Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba, Chouji, and of course Naruto try to bring Sasuke back but end up having to fight Orochimaru's elite bodyguards the Sound Five who were sent to both retrieve and guard Sasuke untill he was in the Hidden Sound Village. The true reason Orochimaru wants Sauske for is to transfer his soul into Sasuke's body and gain the power of the Sharingan the Uchiha's bloodline ability. The Sharingan is an ability that through an Uchiha's eyes and when the Sharingan as active has the ability to copy any justsu(Ninja Technique)and memorizes them. These episodes are fast paced and action packed as each of the leaf village ninja has to fight each of the Sound Five to try and get Sasuke. Of course we're going to have to wait for the next box set for the finale of this story arc but for the Naruto fans who don't want the censored version of the episodes you must get this and for the price very resonable. Of course with most of the box sets of Naruto the picture is very clear and sharp and the audio is very clear as well the Japanese and English voice actors have done a great job for the characters but still I just wished they got a better voice actor for Naruto...

  Great series. Not too happy about this one being more expensive than the previous eight sets for no reason, but still worth the purchase.

  My hubby and I love Naruto, we can't get enough of it. Amazon offers the best price for this DVD. We went to Japan and tried buying this same DVD and it's double the price. Can't get any better than this!
