How Many Naruto Fans Do We Have Here?
 

I myself am a huge fun. i dont watch the anime over here because cartoon network cuts all the fucking good bits out, so i download japanese anime sometimes with english subtitles + download the manga. cannot wait for ch. 294 to come out. hnfr983wgf98b3u948bvew

What's Naruto?

What's anime?

you've got to be kidding. you don't know what anime is? i can see if you don't what Naruto is cause i don't either, but anime? dude, it's the oriental(or japanese, i don't remember which one) cartoons. you know, dbz, pokemon, yugioh, etc etc.

I saw an episode on youtube (english dub) and I must say it was quite bad. When I'm bored I'll probably go back and try to find a subbed version.

Guys I've been watching naruto since it started airing on cartoon network and I'm a bigger naruto expert than any of you because I've been watching it from the very beginning when it first aired on cartoon network. And no, I won't believe you when you say it's been on the Internet for the past 3 years, because you know nothing about naruto and I do.

So I take it Naruto is some kind of Chinese cartoon?

Pretty sure it was developed in the Bronx during the 80's...

I could be wrong though.

well when i had sushi for my birthday i had something called a "naruto roll" so it could be that

Gah. Cartoon network are ruining naruto by taking all the good bits out. mm. What Ep. is it up2?

Naruto is getting crapier and crapier every week. Bleach is so much better.

Are you talking about the anime? That's all filler. Just wait, in a few weeks Part II (official storyline) will begin. Then it'll rock.

Yea, I only watch the anime. Well I watch the Japanese version with translation. I am on 171 now, I am pretty sure I am in part II already. They been sucking for last 20 or so episols so far, so I am not really looking forward to it anymore. BTW if anyone looking for new anime, Initial D is pretty good also.

The last "real" Naruto episode was 135.

really....

99% of the stuff after that is just crap made up by the animation teams. It's called filler. Bleach is also filler-izing.

no fucking wonder. Bleach is getting shitty now too.

Usually the filler is the good stuff... wierd huh?
Like with twinkys, and donuts, and pie.

The filler is what makes you fat

You are the expert on that one :(

Initial D is funny as hell...

I got to episode 50 something of naruto then I kinda stopped watching it =/

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is really good also.

with the number of fillers Naruto has had ...I really hope there never is another one. I'm guessing they're shooting for 500 episodes or something x_X.

I gave up on naruto already, the only thing I am piss about right now is Bleach, oh man, bleach suck so bad for the past 3 episols.

Why? The filler is just ending or something right? I wish I had a stable internet connection!

Thought there were like months of it left.

Naruto filler is going to end by April, I believe. I'd say late April.

The thing about the Bleach filler is that it's unlike Naruto filler because they also incorporate actual plot as they go along. For example, in the manga Renji, Rukia and other Shinigami do come back as fake students at Ichigo's school.

They've done it before. The "Memories in the Rain" arc back in episodes 8-10 or so, when Ichigo fought Grand Fisher, that was considerably different in the manga. For instance, that comedy-esque Shinigami that was sent to bring Rukia back didn't exist. The part where Ichigo's mom's "spirit" comes out wasn't there either. And they left out an entire scene with fairly important characters that are showing up in the manga now. Don't ask me why.

So they've had many months of straight filler ...I'm really hoping this won't happen again. One question: How does it take longer to make manga than an anime? :P

Maybe more drugs are involved?

Doesn't make sense ...comics shouldn't take longer to create then episodes of an anime. All that animation and such has to take loads of time x_x. Their writers must like to take their sweet time.

Well, they are only given so much space in Shounen Jump every week. About 17 pages or so. Each anime episode of Naruto has been averaged to be about 1.7 manga chapters. An episode of anime takes about two months from start to finish, so they have to plan ahead considerably. If the anime catches up to the manga, they have no material. This is why filler was created.

However, One Piece now has a much better system. They release about 2 episodes a month, so they stay consistently behind the manga.

Who would have thought we could live in a world without filler? It's... almost like... real life.

I used to watch alot of anime. Now I dont watch anything anymore. Just read the manga's. Same with Naruto. last filler I saw was something with that dude from wayyyy in the beginning that had naruto steal the scroll, he was in a prison. That's it.

Ya he breaks out and causes the usual trouble. Trys to hook up with Orichamaru.

One piece is the only anime I have seen that is worse then naruto.

One Piece is considerably better than Naruto. If you're watching the 4Kids dub, that is a different story.

Use to watch naruto up until all they made alot of stupid filler. I hate it because all sasugay drama going on.
