Toon Zone Talkback - VIZ Announces "Naruto Shippuden" Episode 103 US/Japan Simulcast on April 9, 2009

Good deal. One wonders if they are working up to doing this every week.

As for the dub, while it's getting worked on I don't know that it's a given that we'll see Shippuden on DVD until after part 1 is fully released.

I mean, when you think about it, doing that wouldn't be that different from Bandai releasing seasons 1 and 2 of Gundam 00 at the same time. That wouldn't make much sense, and while many fans would like to skip filler I can see why Viz wouldn't want Shippuden DVD sets competing with their part 1 sets--which are getting bought, I suppose, since Naruto is still one of the best selling anime series around.

In any case, I'm still pretty far behind, so it may be time for a few marathons to get up to speed.
