Airing on Cartoon Network, a youth-oriented channel, Naruto’s depiction of violent ninja action prompted the inclusion of content warnings. The English dub release of Naruto was a seminal moment in the history of anime’s arrival and growth of popularity in North America. Along with series like Dragon Ball and Pokemon, Naruto helped usher in a new wave of interest in Japanese animation in the early 2000s. The resurfacing of Cartoon Network’s infamous on-screen advisories for Naruto serves as a bit of nostalgic lost media today. It provides a window into an era when anime was still novel and foreign media was gaining traction in the US. A tweet by a user recently unearthed a bit of nostalgia for anime fans – the content warning that used to air before Naruto episodes on Cartoon Network. Though not remarkable on its own, this resurfaced artifact sparked nostalgia, especially for older anime fans.
