User blog comment:AceAttorney9000/Replacement for OG Naruto reruns?/@comment-24624840-20140818223006

Personally, I agree with the person who said this: "Wouldn't Naruto just continue once the reruns are done? Pick up after the arc after the Chunin Exams finish?" Although, technically, after Episode 52, (cause Episode 52 is just the last episode of Season 1) starting with Episode 53 (which is the first episode of Season 2), we'd still actually be on the Chunin Exams arc on Season 2 from Episode 53 -- Episode 67. Basically, the whole Chunin Exams arc goes from Episode 20 -- Episode 67 of the original Naruto anime.

I'm actually hoping that the original Uncut Naruto actually will continue after showing all 52 Episodes of Season 1. And I'm even actually glad that Toonami had to restart the original Uncut Naruto back from the beginning of Episode 1, back in the beginning of January 2014 when they acquired Naruto Shippuden. Cause that way, ever since, both Naruto Shippuden and the original Uncut Naruto have both been airing on the same weeks (though in different Time Zones), while at the same time both shows have been staying on the exact same Episode Number each week. For example, last week, both Naruto Shippuden and the original Uncut Naruto both aired Episode 33 of both Naruto Shippuden and the original Uncut Naruto. I personally hope that it continues to stay this way for a while, cause having Naruto Shippuden and the original Uncut Naruto on different Episode Numbers would probably be too confusing (at least for me).

Also, with the upcoming Attack on Titan marathon on August 30, 2014, it seems that now we won't get to Episode 52 of the original Uncut Naruto, and Naruto Shippuden by the end of this year 2014, as I had originally thought and hoped, but now rather it seems that we'll probably get to Episode 51 of the original Uncut Naruto, and Naruto Shippuden by the end of the year 2014, provided that Toonami doesn't plan on airing any more marathons or movies by the end of the year. But this is just my personal guess, cause we still don't really have any way of knowing what else Toonami might have planned after the month of August.

However, if they do replace the original Uncut Naruto with something else after 52 episodes, (which as I said, I'm hoping that they don't) then the only suggestions that AceAttorney9000 mentioned above that I'd be willing to accept as a replacement for it, would be these, listed in my order of personal preference:

1. Yu-Yu-Hakusho (hoping they'll make it Uncut this time, since it will be on Adult Swim).

2. Viz Media's redub of Uncut Sailor Moon.

3. Outlaw Star (since it hasn't been on since the early Toonami days, also hoping that this will be Uncut as well).

4. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig.
