Naruto
 

So, this is for Naruto anime and manga.

Open discussion in this thread will go up to the current episode of Naruto Shippuden in Japan. Any discussion about the manga beyond that point should be kept in spoiler tags so that the people watching just the anime are not revealed anything too important.

So, have fun.

So: Recent Fillers are win. Reinforcing the canon material and character relationships is the way to go.

[ Naruto has gone Super Saiyan. It's about time. So, he's actually top-tier now. I'm guessing, after Pain, we'll have another Naruto vs. Sasuke, and then another time skip. ]

EDIT: Thank You, Archdarker.

Spoiler tags are [sp], not [spoiler].

I lost complete interest in Naruto in general. I stopped watching when I was up to Naruto Shippuuden 74 I think and I was so annoyed with the fillers I just stopped watching.

DA: Create a poll like I have for the Death Note one.

[ What to say about the new chapters...what to say...not really a fan of Froggy Naru, but that's one badass coat ]

[ well he doesn't really turn froggy, hes using Senjustsu or Sage Arts ]

[ true ]

[ And now he's gonna kick the crap out of Pein ]

I didnt liked Shiipuden that much so far, but in the last couple chapters the manga is getting better

I used to ADORE Naruto. I tried to get every merchandise of it every anime store I went to. But, after they showed a zillion Fillers I got bored with it and lost interest. =/ I like it but not as much. The only thing keeping my interest is the Akatsuki~. x3

[ Kakashi is dead. That's all that matters. ]

the manga at the mo has me in suspence..each chapter shuld be longer
but the ep went into antoher filler so at the mo im out

I agree, the current manga is some of Kishimoto's best work in my opinion. It's actually pretty interesting and you don't really know what's going to happen.

This is a great series, and the recent manga chapters have been captivating. Unfortunately, I think this series is going to run for one more year, tops. [ Kishimoto has killed off almost his entire cast of antagonists. There's only a few members left in Akatsuki, there's Kabuto, and then Sasuke (if you count him). With Konoha in ruins and most of the good guys K/MIA, it'll just seem awkward if they rebuild it and move on. ]

[ I'm only at chapter 400 - Tobi/Madara explaining more stuff about Itachi's hell. ]

[ Yeah I totally love how Kakashi and Jiraiya die! ]

Mark your spoilers please.

And that probably was the surprising one, wasn't it, darkarcher?

Good job not putting that in spoiler tags either....

I'm probably a horrible person for saying this but I wanted to lol at this week's chapter.

i did lol'd [ Hinata was always so useless, im glad her only role was the cliche "sacrifice" so the main character can get a powerup...hope she doesnt pull a Kuwabara :P I hope Orihime will follow her example in Bleach soon ]

[ when he went 6 tails i was like....FINALLY it got interesting....hinata, lol like she could do anything the skeleton coming out of him was pretty cool ]

[ Hinata dying in one shot. Pathetic. ]

[ Actually it was two shots. First he knocked her down with his energy wave thing, then he stabbed her. ]

lolnaruto

[ You only watched Naruto for a pathetic hanger-on who had no personality outside of "Naruto-kuuuun *mumble*"? ]

[ There's no way Hinata can be dead. It was far too sudden and they didn't even show the second blow. I have little doubt that she will pull a Kuwabara. I hope she is dead though, I could never stand her character. I wanted Neji to get in a good blow and kill her back in the chuunin exams :) ]

Far too sudden, you say? [ Kakashi, Choza, and Shizune were pretty sudden too, you know. ]

Good point
