When I was researching the topic for my video, I did come across big playlists for the "New This Month" Grim Newspaper promos, and also the promos that predated the Grim ones which involved characters in an airport.
The Airport promos were dated 2005 - 2008, here's the full playlist for those- www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL58xKq2DDjykr398c0GgXp8mVdIkZ00XN
And here's the playlist for the Grim ones, which have dates from 2009 - 2014. Here's the playlist for those- www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWbpX7XFAHUxhugRbhZEpidMzjiPrl4E4
In both of these cases, the playlists seem to be incomplete and don't cover every month for every year. However, there are a couple Naruto clips seen in the Airport bumpers from January and February 2007, which is around our timeframe, but nothing from the 3D bumper.
Based on this, I'm guessing the Naruto bumper would have been shown in a Grim promo from late 2006 promoting its upcoming release, which has not been archived, and then later was moved to the Airport promos once the series started airing in 2007. But if that's true, we're missing 2 to 3 whole years of Grim promos. So either the early ones are rare, or maybe ti4848 was misremembering.
Not to mention, I don't know when the Grim promos started officially airing, but this other video of someone who claims to have animated it puts a date of 2008 on its production- youtu.be/WzlEsNcfbTU?si=g1KxsVpqLlYKI8wp
If that's true, a Grim promo wouldn't have even existed in 2006. I'm starting to think something isn't adding up here.
