One of the most eagerly anticipated anime releases in years, Naruto Shippuden (2007) is the follow-up to the international hit Naruto. Two and a half years have passed since the first series ended: the title character has been redesigned to appear taller and less round faced, as a teenager should. Although he learned a lot of new skills from Jiraiya and might have matured a little, Naruto remains the irrepressible, ramen-slurping knucklehead audiences know and love. He and medical ninja Sakura join their former teacher Kakashi-sensei as a team to combat the Akatsuki, a confederation of outlaw ninja once associated with Orochimaru. The first target of the Akatsuki is the Village Hidden in the Sand. Gaara, who fights with clouds of magical sand, takes on Deidara, who fashions weapons from enchanted paper and clay; Sand Village lieutenant Kankuro duels the scorpionlike Sasori using complex, jointed puppets. Naruto Shippuden boasts more elaborate CG effects than Naruto, enabling director Hayato Date to pump up the action. But these battles also reveal how completely Naruto transformed an icy assassin into an admirable leader: Gaara allows himself to be captured to protect the people of his village. While Naruto fidgets and fusses, Granny Chiyo reveals what the Akatsuki are seeking. Nine extremely powerful tailed demons exist in the ninja world: the single-tailed demon is sealed within Gaara's body, the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's. Chiyo warns that these demons wield far more power than anyone can be allowed to control. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki begin drawing the demon's chakra from Gaara's body. Help is on the way: Team Kakashi, aided by Chiyo and Temari from the Sand Village, square off against Sosuke's murderous brother, Itachi, while Team Guy (Guy-sensei, Tenten, Neji, and the perpetually upbeat Rock Lee) tackle Kisame, who fights with enchanted cascades of water. Can they reach Gaara in time? Although Naruto Shippuden draws a lot of its audience from fans of Naruto, it's exciting and entertaining enough to win viewers who don't know the original series. The special edition comes with a collectible plastic mini-ninja figure of Naruto, the first in a series of four. (Rated T+ Older Teen, but suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, minor toilet humor) --Charles Solomon (5. The Kazekage Stands Tall, 6. Mission Cleared, 7. Run, Kankuro, 8.

This limited edition includes a collectible mininja of Naruto in his Shippuden outfit and an exclusive art card. The regular one will not
Contains episodes 1-13.
Uncut and Original. A few other sites i have been to says the length of this volume is 325 Minutes, not 120.
 Naruto Fan-heads will smile, but casual fans will rejoice! October 24, 2009

Though the information provided for this box set is sketchy at least, and unless the distribution company intends to ration content as it has been for American audiences of this series, then I'll say that it's arguably reasonable to assume that this will get the same treatment as the prior American box set releases. Generally, American seasons for shows number between 13-24, and since the other Naruto box set releases number in the teens and run approximately 325 minutes, it's safe to say that the distribution company won't plan to indulge us by giving any more than what they have been selling.
Having said that, THIS IS IT!!! This what us hardcore AND casual fans have been waiting for! Now as far as I go, I'm a casual fan and was introduced to this series through cartoon network, but I ignored it for some time because it aired along with the lightweight daytime programming geared to the kiddies. Once I gave it a chance, and maybe two because it started slow, I soon gave it my full attention and total immersion. Hearing that the story continues in another series arc versus the notorious bulk drone-episodes after the Naruto and Sasuke battle has concluded, spawned such worry: When will it be released? Will it be dubbed? Will they have the same voice actors? and if you've cheated and have seen a few of the free subtitled episodes on the net, Will the content be maintained?
Shippunden is the true continuation of the Naruto mythos, the characters have aged and progressed in ability and the story grows darker. For those who are still hanging on until this box set arrives in late January, allow me to ease your worries:
-Yes, it dubbed n English
-Yes, they utilize the same vocal talents (though I'm not sure of all characters) and they've even changed ever so slightly to denote their age
difference.
However, there are some worries for the fanheads, but I'm sure that you know already:
-Though due to the content, I'm sure quite a few of you doubt that Cartoon network will ever bring it back to their normal schedule therefore editing it to death...eh, don't doubt it, so far the colorful and gratuitous profanity beloved in the original Japanese dialogue has been rewritten for virgin ears as if it does plan to return to cartoon network, possibly for adult swim because I do believe they use the words "hell" and "ass"...I know...but I'm not an expert and this opinion is based on the first four episodes of the show. So don't forget to tilt your head like a suspicious puppy when you see the word 'Uncut' in chunky-font under the title.
Other than that ladies and gentlmen, enjoy this with those who can't stomach subtitles and prepare to re-engage in the story, this series starts off with a satisfying bang and is worth experiencing in bulk!

I've been waiting for this for so long and am already blown away by just looking at the box set!
Naruto Shippuden is one of the best Anime's out there, nonstop Action Drama, and this special edition comes with more than just the DVDs.
-It comes with a MiniNinja of Naruto in his new Shippuden Clothing
-and as 'Robert Allen Morton's' Review said, an exclusive art card!
-and Amazon is wrong, it's not 100 minutes its about 325 minutes or so!
Original and Uncut, this box set is going to be amazing!
Quick to box set....nice November 10, 2009

Surprised that with individual Shippuden Vol1 and Vol2 just out and Vol3 at the end of the month (Nov '09) its nice to see a 3 volume box set for release 2 months later in January '10. I thought we'd all have to wait a lot longer for a slightly more economical way to get our Naruto fix. With the original Naruto seems like they released all the individual DVD before they started on the 3 DVD boxes..I'm happy to see this box set for Shippuden so quickly. I'd fully expect this be exactly what you get in the individual volumes DVD wise - perhaps lacking some inserts with the individual DVD releases. So I'd fully expect the same English dub and Japanese w/English subs.
Oh yes..review:Naruto is one of the best anime and Shippuden continues the story line 2.5 years (in Naruto time) after the final of the 50 or so enjoyable, but mostly filler Naruto episodes. Watch it.
Very Nice Set January 30, 2010

I pre-ordered Shippuden after not buying any of the filler box sets. And was hoping that the 3 disc format would change with the new series, sadly it did not, and there are still 3 discs per box, but this is fine enough.
The box is styled in a new way, instead of folding out, it has slim disc cases. At first this annoyed me, but when I saw each disc has the original Japanese cover art I was very pleased (much better than the individual disc art). The options are all there, bilingual, subs and dubs. With much more interesting bonus features than any of the original series. It actually has a voice actor featurette, much to my surprise. In all, this is very satisfying, and I hope they release the next one soon, as I will buy it as well.
I suggest this to anyone who wants to see Naruto Shippuden, but doesn't want the Disney XD edited version.
