Naruto (2002)
1 corrected entry in show generally
Starring: Kate Higgins, Laurent Vernin, Chie Nakamura, Junko Takeuchi, Maile Flanagan, Tony Beck
Genres: Action, Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Fantasy, Thriller
Continuity mistake: Throughout the entire show, the stone faces of the Hokages change, whether it is up, down, facing to the left, facing to the right, facing forwards, etc.
Naruto Uzumaki: Everyone... everyone... has risked their lives to come after you.
Sasuke Uchiha: Well, how good for them.
Trivia: ANBU members are the equivalent of the secret service. The company ANBU also produce the show along with Anime.
Question: I've noticed this in other Anime, but I see it a lot in Naruto; quite frequently the characters run with their arms straight behind their backs. Is there any reason for this? I spent a little time in Japan but I never saw anyone run this way.
Answer: That is just a style used by some animators. It is easier to keep the arms in one position than to draw them in motion. And it makes it look funnier.
Correction: This is just a normal feature in anime shows and is not a mistake.
