NYCC 2011:Naruto Shippuden

By Cass Pineda

There was quite a line-up to see this panel all about the world’s most popular orange jump-suited ninja. There is a lot of exciting news concerning Naruto and his friends, including the release of a new movie, a video game, and DVDs.

Naruto Shippuden: Bonds will be available on BluRay, DVD, or download-to-own, starting on October 25th. All of the previous movies will be streaming on Hulu until the 23rd, which makes it a perfect time to sit down and marathon all of the fast-paced ninja action until your eyes fall out. The ninth box set of the anime is set to come out in January of next year, and a new video game, Ultimate Ninja Impact, will be released for the Sony PSP on October 18th.

Everyone loves toys, and Toynami will be shipping out new Bandai figures of favorite Naruto characters. Naruto’s Japanese voice actress Junko Takeuchi made an appearance and received a warm welcome from her American fans.
