Customer Review: The second DVD box set of uncut Naruto episodes

This is a three-disc DVD set that contains episodes fourteen through twenty-five of Naruto. The first two discs contain four episodes, while the third disc contains four episodes and the special features. The first disc is a little tedious to watch, because the fight that is taking place in these episodes is stretched out by a ridiculous amount. The second and third discs are a more enjoyable viewing experience.



The extras are rather similar to what appeared on the first DVD box set. There is "Production Art" (nine pages of model sketches of some of the Naruto characters), "From Sketch to Screen" (eight pages of storyboards for episode twenty-two; you can also choose to see the clip that the storyboard is for), the English credits, a sneak preview for the third Naruto uncut box set, and trailers and promos for Shonen Jump products.



Like the first box, I was rather disappointed in the special features. While I knew to expect it after seeing similar extras on the first box, I was still a little disappointed.



If you're a Naruto fan and want to collect the episodes on DVD, then this would be a good addition to your DVD library.

Customer Review: turning up the intensity

Viz continues with its stellar box sets for Naruto. The box sets are attractively priced and come with three discs, which effectively makes up season 2 of the series. These discs finish up the Land of Waves arc and starts the defining arc of the Naruto series, the Chunnin Exam arc. While memorable characters like Zabuza and Haku make their permanent exits from the series, you get your first looks at the gennin/beginner ninja of other Hidden Villages, including the unforgettable Gaara. The action and story on these discs is mid tier as some aspects of the Land of Waves fight dragged on for too long, even if it did have a very grand and exciting conclusion. And much of the beginning of the Chunnin exam is very introductory and full of teasers for things to come. Overall, box set is a very good one with a good amount of extras and episodes for a very fair price, and I can't imagine the Naruto series getting better treatment than it is getting for these Uncut releases. A definite buy in my opinion.
