Don't feel too bad, I bought 19 Naruto volumes and I still can't decide if I actually like the damn series or not. A blande, cliched, repetative block with the occasional pecks of fruit and squidge of jam to liven it up. Call me indifferent but I'm too much of a chicken to sell the buggers, because you can bet the moment I do I'll end up actually liking the thing. Bleh.Akira Fumi said:I believe that was why too, but it still ruined things for me. Ninja slice of life. Do not want!evilengine said:I heard they only did that because the anime had to wait for the manga to be written, so they just fiddled around in the meantime.Akira Fumi said:When they needed filler episodes in order to drag the series on. That's when it went ''too far''.
Rednog said:At least then it would make sense why they have it under the "comedy" tag in most online manga sites.Lullabye said:Only if they had a "badum psh" on a black page over "End."Rednog said:I was sooo hoping that when Aizen gave his "you're special" speech to Ichigo, they would have pulled a "Why am I special?"Lullabye said:My strategy for getting through Bleach for the last chapters is "the magic black ball in Aizen's chest is responsible for everything that ever happened. Why? I don't care it just is! And apparently Ichigo is "special", but then since when isn't he? Oh and at least a year more of fighting is to come."ChromeAlchemist said:Then there is Bleach.....um, if anyone can tell me what the hell is going on with Aizen and stuff, I'd really like to know. t just sorta stopped making sense the last few chapters.....
"Because you're retarded."
".........."
And just have the series end like that.
No kidding! That's a great show - way way better than Naruto or Bleach. I am hoping they'll do a solid release here in the US, as I think it will work out excellently for teens.Syntax Error said:Gonna one-up you on that and say:ChromeAlchemist said:No, I think the manga hasn't gone too far. There is still much to be resolved. The only problems I have with it are, yes, there are quite a few characters and he doesn't do enough with them, despite them being pretty well developed, and that damned cop out he did at one point in the manga.
That being said though, I love it. Not the American one though, that one can go die in a fire.
And to everyone:
[HEADING=1]One Piece has been going on for 12 years and is still going.[/HEADING]
Just a bit of trivia for you there.
EDIT: I forgot it's cool to hate on this series actually, maybe I'm wasting energy.
[HEADING=1]Hajime no Ippo has been going on for 20 years and is still going.[/HEADING]
The anime is on hiatus, though.
Woot, another BBB fan! Wish they'd scrape up some more money and do the ending action scenes up better, but what a great vampire story in there.VanityGirl said:you know what? fuck it, i like it.
i don't care if people think it's lame.
i enjoy it.
i also enjoy bleach, outlaw star and black blood brothers.
the only problem i have with naruto is i feel it has a DBZ complex. it wants to DRAGGGGG some things out (like fights).
Similar for me. It's exactly the same with Bleach.JanatUrlich said:I got bored after like, the second volume. I just couldn't bring myself to care about it.
It's gone ridiculously far now
The irony of that being that was a catch phrase invented by the awful English dub.wrecker77 said:Never liked it. BELEIVE IT!! Beleive what? That you need a new catchfraise!?
Trivia note, "Believe It" is just the pronounconym (or whatever you call it) for Dattebayo. Which means nothing - it's a combination of datte, ba and yo, each of which also is just an emphasis word you tag on, like we say "you know", "right", and some of us coincidentally say "yo".eelel said:Watch it subed. He never says beleive it.wrecker77 said:Never liked it. BELEIVE IT!! Beleive what? That you need a new catchfraise!?
Yeah thats starting to annoy me, quite honestly I'm just waiting for Urahara to come back show us how awesome he is and then I'm done.Rednog said:Though I must say Naruto beats Bleach any day in my book, I'm so sick of Bleach, the story just moves so slow and its just battle to frigin' battle and I could care less about the slew of characters that pop up.
Apparently it's so awesome that even the awesome creator awesome could not understand the awesome of the awesome ball that exudes awesomeness allowing others to be awesome, but only if they could be awesome in it's awesome universe.Rednog said:My strategy for getting through Bleach for the last chapters is "the magic black ball in Aizen's chest is responsible for everything that ever happened.

I may disagree with your opinion, but I will fight for your right to have one. Too.Lonan said:Ok, all you fuckers who keep insulting Naruto, shut the hell up. Things are more than just entertainment to some of us. There is a depth of character in some of us beyond a single drop of water on desert sand. Even my friend, who judges everything, has a copy of all the filler. There was a good reason for the filler, the voice actor was playing a 12 year old boy, and his voice needed to drop for when he became a 15 year old. It's seems like many people view Naruto like an annoying rip-off of pokemon or digimon. Well, if that's how you view it, you should just not watch it. It's too good for you, you wouldn't understand, to use you're type of language.
I know that emotional people like Americans need to have an "opinion" on everything, but if you don't have an opinion, you're right. So everyone with an opinion on anything is wrong, because nothing is true at all. That is the ultimate truth. It's all an emotion. And you gents have VERY shallow emotions indeed. I would also mention that I have observed many comments against Japan on this site, and Naruto is a very Japanese anime, despite you're knee-jerk reaction that it's "American."
I don't EVER want to hear you're "it's just another thing" attitude to Naruto again. I don't want to hear it about anything else which is important to someone in such a negative and dismissive way. Although I suppose it's kind of beautiful that the character faces the same kind of contempt here as in the series. And it doesn't faze him one bit, which as also explored in the series, makes bitchy short lived woman angry. But they're just side characters, no one really remembers them.
Man, I'm living on these boards today. The source of FMA Brotherhood internet video is www4.funimation.com/video. You can lose your entire summer there by the way. You have been warned.riottrio said:i don't know if anyone ever told you this, but here is one loyal to the manga and very cool... i've only been dissapointed by it once, but that was actually a mis-translation on the manga's part (supposedly... it was still tonnes funnier in the manga)... and now i find that the website i watched it from has now stopped showing it :'( i'll be able to find it elsewhere.Unborn023 said:Full Metal Alchemist's anime is absolutely disgusting. Almost like they took all the characters from the manga, ripped out their spines then wrote a nice giant fan-fic. I have no clue why they even bothered keeping the name.
The series is called "full metal alchemist brotherhood", kinda annoying how the crappier fan-fic one stole the real name and also confuising because there is supposedly already a movie or OVA called this!
anyway, to get back onto the topic of Naruto, i used to really despise it whilst all my friends loved it. since i got into manga, i've actually come to really love it, even the storyline before shippuden, which i remember finding retarded when watching the anime... perhaps the manga showed it seriously... i don't know.
I actually started watching the subbed Shippuden recently... why? to watch a particular fight... and it was frikking awesome! it was so much better animated than Bleach that i wanted to cry for being betrayed... which i wasn't but whatever... i'm too tired to make sense
