Jetix UK respond to Naruto fans over series censorship

•

Anime UK News forum user Conan-san has recently posted an e-mail response he received from Jetix UK with regards to the controversial edits the kids TV channel is imposing on its highly anticipated airings of Naruto.

  • “Jetix UK aims to provide exciting and entertaining content for our audience whilst being a responsible kids broadcaster. We therefore must ensure the content of our programmes is suitable for our target audience and we follow strict OFCOM regulations to ensure that these standards are adhered to. Where certain content from the original has been deemed unsuitable for our younger viewers it has been edited from the version which Jetix will be broadcasting. These edits are subtle and we don’t believe alter the quality of the viewing experience.”

Naruto airs on Jetix UK every day at 8PM.
