Naruto Being Licensed

So, what do I think of Naruto being licensed? Well, I'm not exactly happy about the series being dubbed. Name changes aren't a problem for me, unless they're too drastic X_x;; I'm more concered about alterations in the plot and storyline. Also, I'm also concerned with the language. Hopefully, because Naruto uses a lot of vulgar, that they'll directly translate it to it's English term, rather that omitting it completely. Expressions of hate are very important when translating, so it's vital that they use blasphemy, scatology, or whatever, instead of just saying “oh drats” >.>;;

Sasuke: "ahh, my entire clan was murdered by my idiot brother. Darn"
Me: *stabstabdiedie* xO

Possibly the only thing I'm looking forward to are the merchandise. As the series gets popular (which it probably will), we'll being seeing more NARUTO products on the shelves. So, we can look forward to seeing keychains that won't cost $5.00 a piece, and headband protectors that are almost $30 X_x;; (well, those are the prices at the anime shops over where I live). Not only that, but I'm SO looking forward to the game, seeing as I'm a gamer myself ;D
