PRAISE THE LORD! IT ENDED!

THE FINAL ENDING LOOKED LIKE A TERRIBLE FANFICTION BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE IT ENDED!!

DISCUSS

Thank god its over…

Are we gonna forget about the supposed manga sequel that focuses on Naruto's two kids and is supposed to come out next year? If it does happen I expect it to be the quality of Dragon Ball GT, but even worse.

Now if only Bleach and One Piece would end…

I'm pretty sure Bleach is about to end.

Bleach just needs to end now. This final arc in the manga kinda sucks.

I wanna admit somethin': since pretty much the beginning, I'd been on the wagon of "Naruto is the most annoyingly popular entry-level manga/anime out there". But when I heard it ended, I felt this absurd twinge of sadness. I just assumed it would never end, and made fun of it for never ending, and thought I'd be happier when it finally did, but…it just feels weird for it to be finished. Like what if the Pokemon anime had ended, what a vacuum it would leave behind! And seeing all those tribute images, passing the torch, etc. Now that it's ended, I can't help but salute the passage of that thing I had derided and ridiculed. And hell, if a fuck-up like Naruto could become Hokage, then it only gives me hope that Ash Ketchum can still become a Pokemon Master.

Anyway, whatever. To the fans, I hope it was a good run.

Salad is the best character, and that's all that matters.

What? It was still running?! This is news to me. An now it ended, so more news. I need to rethink my life for a second…

Good.

You know, I remember there being a joke back in 2009 that Naruto would still be running in 2027 (or some arbitrary number of decades later). It would've been funny to see that joke become a prophecy. Then again, considering the follow-up spinoff series, it just might.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that Naruto seems to be following the Disney formula of shameless sequels? i.e. The children of the main characters in the original series play out the same exact story their parents did.

Is Naruto really that hated here on KYM?

Actually I personally don't hate the series at all. In fact, about a year ago my boyfriend and I started rewatching the anime from the beginning, and we're still going with that. I love to make fun of it like nobody's business, but to me it's still enjoyable to watch overall. I don't have any experience with the manga though.

I've read the entire thing.

you know this trope. For some reason it's everywhere in the final chapters to the point where we see a character we haven't even heard of.

What ever happened to that show featuring Rock Lee and Guy?

Oh well, the only thing i'll miss is Kakashi. The rest for me is……

Well, the fandom will continue to exist tough. Its just like Chernobyl, the event was long ago, but the afther effects are still there.

I was never even aware such a thing existed. That is either the best thing I've ever heard or the worst.

Didn't Oda say a few years ago it was only halfway through its plot?

I'm totally indifferent to it. I've never been a fan of ninja or samurai anime so that ride whizzed on right past me.

I havben't watched it but I've not heard very good words about this show. Can anyone explain?

>Naruto
>Ninjas

It's like mainstream music.

It has a lot of popularity, so there is certainly hidden appeal in the manga/anime. Yet it also gets a lot of dislike because people can't phantom why it's popular thus making it hipster cool to hate it.

It's up to what anime you usually like. The show can drag on with fillers if they want, and there's a lot of flashbacks, but they don't spend 8 episodes to charge like dbz. The plot of "ninjas" has to be taken with a grain of salt cus they don't match your average ninja.

Dear dearest dear Hollywood Filmmakers.

Please don't make a Naruto live action movie. Otherwise they will give me painful reminders of why I never told anyone that I liked it.

sincerely, me.

Also unlike DBZ all the characters are whiny teenage emos that cry about everything. And not liking Naruto doesn't make you cool or a hipster, it just means you don't like it. Just like liking it doesn't necessarily mean your some 12 year old on DeviantArt. Like with most things, it gets more popular and that means you open it up to more people to like it, but there also more people who end up watching it and disliking it.

I agree that it is completely subjective. But if your gonna say reasons why people don't like it make a list or something like…

Some reasons people hate/ are against Naruto
-It's popular so hipsters will hate it
-Some people find the protagonists overbearing
-Some find that the characters overly-emotional about everything
-It has a lot of anime cliches
-It has nothing to do with ninjas despite claiming that
-The powers used in it are boring for some people
-The fanbase

I just always hated it because I associate it with this one guy I knew in highschool. He was the ultimate weeb and did some really…. strange things. His friends were also really odd. I know I am not being fair to the show, but god damn, the fanbase. Really, Naruto's fans are the reason why I hated anime most of my life.

Fanbases are the reason behind a lot of issues with shows.

I'm doing well so far in ignoring them. I refuse to let them ruin the experience for me.

are you, reading the manga?

i dislike super long running shows that drag on forever in general, especially when there is some sorry excuse of a plot (i do like this conan guy though, but the episodes in this one are rather incoherent. i'd still like to see him return to original size tho).

i admit that i watched the least amount of naruto episodes possible (like, the first episode and some shreds from later episodes), and i really didn't understand anything when shippuden came up with regular kind-of adult naruto, massively pierced bathrobe ginger naruto and long-haired naruto etc.

so am i happy it ended? well, idc, damage done, the annoying fans are going to stay for some time before the next 15-year manga appears and the same thing will happen again.

i always thought i'd feel at least a bit satisfied, i had to cringe through all these years of highschool and cons with "sasuke is mai waifu" and "sakrua is perfuct wymn", throwing imaginary shurikens, reciting shit and do ninja gang signs with their hands, come to school with those headbands with the metal plates &stuff.

@hollywood naruto live action movie: yes please, maybe that'll give me some satisfaction.
