Why did Cartoon Network stop showing Naruto?

Answer 1

After Naruto was made in english, and after the series ended, Naruto Shippuden, or constantly reffered to as the time skip (of 2.5 years) hasn't aired yet because of these reasons: they might not want to air it because Toonami was deleted and after all, that was Naruto's CN domain. However, they still continued the series even with Toonami gone, until about Shippuden appeared. I belive they went a little into the time skip but stopped for some reasons unknown. Also, Naruto can still be continued in the manga that can be found at your local bookstore so you can continue the Naruto Series.

Apart from the above, if you've never read the actual Manga of this series, you may draw some conclusions of your own. Certain parts inside of the manga put out what many parents wouldn't want shown to the younger audiences, such as smoking, much blood, cursing left and right, death being a bigger part in the series and much more as the series went on. A big example of this is the two Immortal Akutski members, one whom cuts himself all over to kill of his own victims while worshiping an evil god whom led him into this perverse fighting way. And the other would take out the hearts of the people he killed putting them inside himself to extend his life.

I myself couldn't care less, since I read the manga, which I am happy with. If you really feel like your missing out, go to Mangafox.com and read it, or Animefuel.com for the dubbed versions of Naruto Shippuden.

Answer 2

it went bankrupped on making the three movies

^ No, and there's 6 movies. Well cartoon network doesn't like anime cause there haters, just kidding, but they do like to stick to American Cartoons. I don't know when this was asked but w/e, funimation is the place to go for anime (in English dub). They show Naruto Shippuden a lot, which takes place 3 years later when naruto is around 15-16.

Cartoon network isn't what it used to be.

BTW try to get used to Japanese with subtitles if you are interested in anime, just has a special feel to it, 9/10 anime fans say they prefer subs in a recent poll on kotaku.

Answer 3

Most likely not, but it may show up on Adult's Swim anime block, Toonami in a few years. Toonami comes only on Saturday 12am.

Answer 4

Because cartoon network played the uncut version of Naruto.

The show therefore got bad ratings and was canceled on cartoon network.

Answer 5

Initially, naruto came on animax but stopped later and began premiering on cartoon network. Cartoon Network must have paid a higher price to the creator of anime.
