Eh, if I had a choice between listening to the dub or reading it myself, I would also choose reading the manga myself.

Oooh, this also happened when the Nana the Movie came out. Boosted sales of the tankouban so much...but that's besides the point. It's not all surprising to me at all though. As Satoshi said, the anime usually dictates the sale of the manga at some points...sometimes.

Clearly we're great!

REAL FANS?!?! Holy CRAP you did NOT just say that. What makes you think that people who were introduced to it via the dub will be any less of loyal fans than people who've been following it in Japanese?

you suffer
Edward Elric said:You nuts?; At least the anime's dub is closer to the original than what Viz has been doing with the manga.
It goes down like this for me:
Scanlated Manga > Subbed Anime > Dubbed Anime > Viz Manga
still, I love my Naruto. And I'm glad to see it's doing well over here.

Good to hear. Although this doesn't suprise me. I figured this would end up happening. Everyone's gotta have SOMETHING related to the new, hot anime. XD
It's just that bad? Man, I didn't know Viz also screws up Manga. I suppose, though. I mean, it takes a lot less effort to screw up words than it does to rewrite entire dialogues.
With all tongue-in-cheek aside, Naruto should've been VA'ed by a GUY, but I do like his voice when he gets angry. I think that's the effect they were going for. Also, it's narUto, not NAruto as the dub leads one to believe. Loyal Naruto fans of mine refuse to watch the dub (as per my original comment), but I didn't know the manga translation was bad, also.

Sure, we all know that watching One Piece on 4kids is way better then reading a manga!
Anyway, this is kinda obvious this would happen. I mean, kids usually watch shows before reading, so seeing a show would make them get the manga.

Yep, since Naruto started airing, all of the volumes of the manga (1-5 @ my school) started appearing on my library shelves less.
Oh, and I know why the One Piece anime boosted the sales of the manga.
Anime Lover: I'd rather read the show than listen to this crap!

I doubt that BoBoBo-Bo-Bo-BoBo is going to have the type of success Naruto is going to have. Its just too different.Satoshi said:

The dub's pronouncing his name correctly. Toonami's commercials for the show, on the other hand, aren't.
No, elitist "fans" who are afraid that their precious show is coming into the mainstream refuse to watch the dub.
Kojiro said:
I think Brinstar was referring to Naruto specifically. Not all series in general.

If it did, it didn't boost the sales nearly as much as Naruto's sales were boosted.

If by a kid, maybe. But there's no way they could get a grown man to do a 12 year old boy's voice. Last thing we need is another damn Vic Mignogna trying to sound like a kid and doing a poor job of it. The current VA is fine.Porygandrew said:
Because we all know the dub is so much worse than the original and that the manga is perfect. There's no "Sexy Jutsu" in the manga. Instead, there's a "Ninja Centerfold."Porygandrew said:
Byakugan became the "Evil Eye." Neji references Rock Lee as having Moe Howard (Three Stooges) haircut. Gaara doesn't wanna kill people. He just says they're "dead meat" if they cross them.

I wasn't surprised when I saw this thread. I mean, I saw some seniors today at school with a collection of Naruto manga in Japanese. Where in hell they got it I dunno, but I'll become friends with them too...
I don't think Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo will be nearly as popular because of how different the content is. But that's just me. *shrugs*
