We, the fans of Toonami, would like to respectfully request that you don't restart Naruto from the beginning. It will be one year before the show reaches this point again. Though we realize many things could change within that year, there are also many things that cause this decision to inconvenience us. Some of us were watching this series for the first time. Others were rewatching it. Still others wanted the opportunity to watch certain episodes with their friends on television, while even more have committed to watching it in full, on Toonami or not. Whatever our reason for watching Naruto, we will all be affected by this decision to restart the program. Make no mistake, we are VERY grateful the show will not be leaving the block as intended, but we would like to respectfully request that come January 4th you air episode 53 instead of episode 1.
