Naruto Uncut Box Set, Volume 12
Filed Under: Boxed Sets
The box set was smashed in on the corner. however the DVD’s are still in great condition. Just lost value as a collection.
At has come to this at last. Naruto is right in the middle of filler till episode 220 something. And it mostly reeks. In the 88 episode stretch of bridge-to-nowhere garbage youll find a few episodes that are worth sitting through, and the rest making you cringe. Watch this for the episode with Hinata and the bees, and Naruto trying to find the bug. No episodes in this boxset or the next few take the story anywhere (FILLER!)So buy it if you are a completist. Go in with any expectations at all and you will be dissapointed.
I think this is a great set. Don’t listen to any one that say’s these are bad, There not. With these episodes left out of Naruto there would be someting missing. If you don’t like them becuase there not a lot of blood and fighting in them that’s life. These episode of a part of Naruto and they show better side of him. I have seen all these episodes on TV as well as on this set and they just keep getting better. I like it when Naruto is funning. Just give it a look.
Don’t torture yourself watching these fillers. They really are that bad.
I must start out by saying that I did not believe anyone when they said the fillers were so horrible.
Their had been some filler episodes here and their that amused me.
Then, after Orochimaru changing bodes, and Sasuke getting away, the fillers began. The first two filler arcs, one involving travel to his hideaway and running into trouble there, and then another about that guy who made Naruto steal the scroll at the beginning, the two big prisoners, and that plot seemed pretty good. I enjoyed them.
Then their was a rather boring, poor plot about a bikouchu beetle. Only one episode was good with a summoning jutsu of a giant bee, and Hinata basically taking them out. So maybe 1 1/2 out of the 5/6 episodes then goes for into this box set.
Their is a rather interesting story for about 5/6 episodes about a man named Riaja, who holds a funeral for everyone he kills while they are still alive in the coffin. He is one of the seven swordsman, like Zabuza was and the guy who was traveling with Itachi as well.
While this may sound interesting, it get’s very cheesy when Rock Lee continues to go on about “The Curry Of Life.” It is really, really stupid.
Then their is a further story with Riaja travels with a boy who is his eyes and ears, and a lot about mortality, blah blah blah.
This is a poorly executed story with a good action scene followed by why people hate these fillers so much.
After that, it’s just the same thing over and over again. Tsuanade sends Naruto on a mission with some characters; they go fight someone with a plot fit for an episode of Pokemon (actually, no it’s not), and it concludes with you annoyed by how bad it is done.
And what’s worse is they play on what you want. They are:
1. More Naruto. Who can get enough?
2. To see other characters get more screen time. First it was Hinata, then it was TenTen, both who get near entire episodes devoted to them. This seems to continue to go on.
In the last 9th season (presumably box set 16; it won’t end until after that), Gaara becomes the character we NEED to see more. I know I’ll end buying that one, but not any of these.
3. Being so-well packaged, with 13 episodes at average, an excellent dub, and playing cards that are really nice.
Do not buy this box set. It is just torture to be teased with decent storylines that go more and more downhill as they go on.
I reccomend box sets 1-11 but not any of these.
Hold out for Naruto Shippenun; at least seasons 1-2 are not filler.
Naruto Uncut Box Set 12 is a three DVD disc set that contains episodes one hundred and fifty through one hundred and sixty-three of Naruto. This set concludes the Bikochu bug arc, has the entire Raiga arc, the Great Survival Challenge, an arc about a bounty hunter, a story about imposters coming to the Leaf Village, and a search for “The Cursed Warrior.”
The first item in the extras menu is labeled as “Production Art.” This consists of fifteen pages, which are model sketches of some of the Naruto characters. There is a sneak preview of Naruto Uncut Box Set 13, which runs for roughly three and a half minutes. Next is “From Sketch to Screen,” which contains eight pages of storyboards from episode one hundred and fifty. For each storyboard, you can choose to see the clip that the storyboard is for. You can also see the English credits in the “Extras” menu.
Next in the extras menu is a selection labeled “New From Viz Media.” This link takes you to advertisements for Shonen Jump Magazine, two Naruto pages, and two pages featuring other Shonen Jump manga titles. A link in the extras menu labeled as “DVD Trailers” takes you to a set of trailers. There are trailers for: Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody, Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, and Buso Renkin. The final link in the extras menu is labeled as “Game Trailers,” and it has trailers for: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 Revolution, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, and Bleach: Shattered Blade.
These extras are what I’ve come to expect from these Naruto Uncut box sets, but I still feel a little disappointed when I see that no further effort has been put toward the special features on these sets. However, if you’re a Naruto fan that wants to collect all of the episodes on DVD, then the Naruto Uncut Box Set 12 would be a good addition to your DVD library.
In order to write this review, I checked out a copy of this DVD box set through the King County Library System.
