Naruto Uncut Season Four Volume 2

The Naruto Uncut Season Four Volume 2 box set is a six DVD set that contains episodes 192 through 220 of the Naruto anime series; these are the final episodes of the series. The first disc contains four episodes, the second disc contains five episodes, the third disc contains five episodes and bonus features, the fourth disc contains five episodes, the fifth disc contains five episodes, and the sixth disc contains five episodes and bonus features.

This set includes Ino being hired to pose as a princess to attract a prince; Lee opening his own dojo; Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba investigating a haunted castle; a group of brothers bent on revenge against Guy; a plot to destroy the Leaf Village; a clip show; a story arc with backstory for Kurenai; a story about the Beauty of Nature; the Ninja Dropouts arc; the story about Menma; and members of the Artisan village trying to capture Gaara. Most of the episodes included on this set are considered to be "filler" episodes.

Just like the previous seven boxes in this set of Naruto releases, this is a "bare bones" release; there are no booklets or inserts included in the box. When it comes to the actual discs included in this set, they are exactly the same as the discs that were released in the Naruto Uncut Box Set 15 and Naruto Uncut Box Set 16 box sets.

The first bonus feature on the third disc is labeled as "Production Art." This consists of 15 pages, which are model sketches of some of the Naruto characters. There is a sneak preview of Naruto Uncut Box Set 16, which runs for about four minutes. Next is "From Sketch to Screen," which contains eight pages of storyboards from episode 193; for each storyboard, you can choose to see the clip that the storyboard is for. You can also see the English credits in the "Extras" menu.

Next in the extras menu is a selection labeled "New From Viz Media." This link takes you to two advertisements for Shonen Jump magazine, one Naruto page, and two pages featuring other Shonen Jump manga titles. A link in the extras menu labeled as "DVD Trailers" takes you to a trailer for Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. The final link in the extras menu is labeled as "Game Trailers," and it has trailers for: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, and Naruto: The Broken Bond.

The first bonus feature on the sixth disc is labeled as "Production Art." This consists of 20 pages, which are model sketches of some of the Naruto characters. There is a sneak preview for Naruto Shippuden, which runs for about two and a half minutes; however, the audio is mastered a little on the soft side. You can also see the English credits in the "Extras" menu.

Next in the extras menu is a selection labeled "New From Viz Media." This link takes you to four pages of advertisements for Shonen Jump titles. A link in the extras menu labeled as "DVD Trailers" takes you to a trailer for Naurto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. The final link in the extras menu is labeled as "Game Trailers," and it has trailers for: Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, and Naruto: The Broken Bond.

If you enjoy Naruto and haven't already purchased the Naruto Uncut sets, this would be an economical way to get the episodes on DVD in order to add them to your collection. You get double the amount of the content of the original sets, but you pay about the same amount as you would have for the original Naruto Uncut DVD box sets. However, if you do purchase this set, just be aware that this is simply a repackaging of Naruto Uncut Box Set 15 and Naruto Uncut Box Set 16. All Viz Media really did to change the discs was to make minor changes to the labels on the physical discs included in the set.

I wrote this review after watching a copy of this DVD set that my husband and I purchased.
