Weekly Naruto Goodness!! Wow, who would've guessed back when this manga started, it would have gone on for 400 full chapters? Well, except for Kishimoto himself, most likely no one. Anyway, after getting a late RAW last week, it appears Binktopia has gotten ahold of this week's RAW chapter much faster. But enough babbling, head on to the manga page and grab that sucker! Also, as is typical for our Thursday nights, another exciting episode of the anime has been unleashed upon the desperate masses. Still in filler, but so far it isn't so bad. I'm still giving it a shot. Grab the torrent right here. And, as a bit of an update to my last news post concerning the upcoming Naruto game for PS3, a trailer has been released up on the Playstation Network, so if you're one of those few who own a PS3, head on over there and get it. Finally, on a no less important note, all of Volume 42 of the manga has been removed from our host for the time being. Apologies to those who are still trying to grab those chapters, we're working on getting them up again.

Anime Format Change Hello everyone, we've noticed some people running into issues playing the newest Naruto episodes from Dattebayo, so I figured I'd give you a quick rundown on what is happening there. From Dattebayo's News Release: Dattebayo Special Announcement Regarding Naruto [UPDATED] 2008/04/04 Hello, everyone. Interactii here. I have an important announcement regarding the Naruto 53/54 double episode that aired this week. 1. The episode will be split in two and released as two files. There is a good reason for this, see below. 2. Naruto switched formats starting with Ep 54, it is now a wide-screen show. In order to accommodate the new wide screen format, Dattebayo will change the codec used in its videos. The new release resolution will be 856x480. The new codec Dattebayo has selected is H264, which will grant better video quality in the same file size and permit us to do the wide screen release without changing to a larger file size. H264 requires more processing power to decode than XVID did, so users who have very old computers may not be able to play back the files at full speed. We encourage users with this problem to upgrade their hardware to something newer than 1999. Also this means that people who were using hardware playback devices will not be able to play unless their device supports H264. If you need a new hardware playback device, I recommend the Popcorn Hour, which supports this codec. Dattebayo recommends the use of VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) or Media Player Classic HomeCinema (http://tibrium.neuf.fr/) to decode the files. If you cannot get the files to play then you should visit #db-help on irc.animenfo.com and get assistance there. Dattebayo will investigate the release of an HD-resolution file starting with the next episode. You should not expect both episodes to be released today. Thanks! --Inty UPDATE: Episode 54 released in H264. This choice is non-negotiable and final. We will not release two versions, lower resolution version, higher resolution version, version for people with 13" screens, version for people with a TV with overscan which cuts off subs, or any other version beside the one we're planning to release. We will also not release it in MP4, MKV, OGM, or any other retarded format you might think is "superior", "more supported" (lol), etc. What this means is that they've changed the codec that they use for encoding the Naruto episodes. What this means for YOU is that, if you're reading this because your episodes don't play, is that you need a different codec. I might be of some assistance here. My suggestion is that you download the CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) and keep that sucker updated. This pack comes with Media Player Classic, which I also would advise you to make great use of. If you've been using Windows Media Player, the DivX Standalone player (*shudder*), or some other weird player, I'd suggest switching over to that or possibly the less awesome but still viable VLC Media Player. You can find the CCCP here. You can find VLC here. I advise that you don't use VLC and use the CCCP with Media Player Classic, but the choice is up to you. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at contact@dbzcenter.com and we'll try and get back to you ASAP.

Manga Back Up The problem with the account the manga was hosted at being suspended has been taken care of. Sorry for the trouble folks, but at least the problem has been taken care of. We appreciate the vigilant users here that let us know when something is up instead of just leaving it for us to find ourselves. Thank you very much for your support everyone.

Well, I'm Confused... One of our visitors informed me that when he tried to download the latest Naruto chapter from our site, that he reached a page stating our account has been suspended. It appears to be that way for past chapters as well. Since things are hosted on our own server, I don't know how this is possible...so I guess for the time being we're unable to give you guys what you want. Trust me when I say we're working on figuring out what exactly happened, so please stick with us. As soon as we know something, we will let you all know. Edit (11:50PM PST, Saturday): Still not sure exactly what went wrong, but for the time being the last two chapters have been re-uploaded in a different location, and the links on the manga page work just fine. The other ones will just have to not work for a while. We're so very sorry for this.

Manga Chapter 399 by Binktopia Apologies for getting this to you all so late. I know other scanslator groups have released this chapter before Binktopia, but I like to remain uniform, and stick with the quality. Plus, it's much nicer (in my opinion) to keep things constant between chapters. So, without much further ado, head on over to the manga page and grab that chapter! It's been a long wait between chapters, but I think it's been worth it. No spoilers here though, I wouldn't be that mean to our anime only people.

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 57 - 58 & Naruto Game News Now that Golden Week is over, it's back to our weekly fix of Naruto! This episode, like the rest, has been translated and subbed by the fine trolling folks at Dattebayo. It's amazing to me to think that even with a double episode this week, they still manage to get a sub released in a timely manner. But enough of the "blah blah blah," what you all really want is the torrent, right? Well, go ahead and grab it right here. As a gamer, i've played the majority of the Naruto games out there, some even before they were released over here thanks to the wonder of swap meets, so I figure i'm well versed enough to bring you guys game updates now and again, so here goes! Namco Bandai is giving us another Naruto game, but this time built specifically for the powerful PS3! Called "Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm," this newest edition looks to continue the tradition of Smash Bros. style gameplay brought on by their Narutimate Hero series (Ultimate Ninja here in the US), but this time in full 3D. Click here and head on over to the kind folks of IGN, where they've got a preview of the game up, along with screenshots, and a teaser trailer. It definitely looks like something to keep our eyes on! And, on a final note...the follks over at Binktopia have warned us that Golden Week continues to plague us fans outside of Japan, and they still don't have a RAW of the latest Jump, so don't expect a chapter tonight. It's still possible, but they're aiming more for an early Friday morning release instead.

Manga Chapter 398 by Binktopia Another speedy Thursday night release from Binktopia! After a week long break from the manga, I think I can safely say i'm not the only one itching for the next chapter. Well, itch no longer. The latest chapter has been cleaned and translated for your viewing pleasures. Go on and click over to the manga page and get to downloading!

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 56 And Other News The good folks at Dattebayo (the trolling experts!) have brought us our weekly dose of the beloved Naruto anime, now in glorious fillervision! No idea how long this filler arc is going to last, hopefully they'll intertwine it with more of Naruto's training. But, enough babbling, go ahead and grab the torrent right here. Also, as i'm sure anyone who's tried to access the site tonight has noticed, we got ourselves a friendly little hacker. This wonderful human specimen has been working his magic all over the place on our site, and suffice it to say that webhead has been working his ass off, sacrificing his personal time to get things fixed and back to the way they were. Thank god for him, eh? But don't worry, we're working on ways to make sure this particular thing doesn't happen again. No website can truly be considered hacker proof, plus on the bright side, I guess we're lucky he wasn't malicious.

Shippuuden Episode 55 Our latest entry in the weekly installment of the Naruto anime has arrived! Dattebayo keeps up their speedy releases with an early Thursday (here on the West coast anyway) night release. So, without further ado, grab that torrent right here and get to downloading. Just as a friendly reminder, there is NO manga chapter this week. It's on hiatus until next week. Oh well, at least we've got the anime to back us up!

Manga Chapter 397 by Binktopia Another Thursday night, another Naruto manga release by Binktopia. It's good to see that they're keeping up with a late Thursday release. Not only are they fast, but they're efficient as well. Once again, as a fellow Naruto fan, I have to give my thanks to this wonderful group of hard workers. Can you tell i'm running out of things to say every week? Anyway, enough babbling, let's get to what everyone wants. Head on over to the manga page and grab that chapter! Also, before I forget...this is just a reminder, there's no episode this week. We have to wait another week to get our anime fix! As if that weren't bad enough, the end of this chapter reveals that there will not be a chapter next week. Disappointment!
