People who used their Tivo to tape Naruto this weekend, expected the start of the second season: The Chunin Exam. Instead they got an episode of One Piece. Toonami is giving Naruto a break up until April. The rest of this month and the first half April Toonami will showcase classic Miyazaki movies like Spirited Away (airing this weekend) and Princess Monoke (airing in two weekends). After the Month of Miyazaki Toonami is going to be playing catch up with a Narutothon. Meanwhile Canada’s YTV will keep broadcasting new episodes, so US fans will have to deal with re-runs on Friday/Saturday night at 12:00 AM.
