Sasuke said something about wanting to become Hokage so that could be the focus of the next arc. Naruto vs Sasuke election battle.

Man I hope they play Hound dog's "Rocks" on the final episode.

Thank god, too. I knew there was nowhere for this series to go when this dumb, horrible, and awfully written War Arc started. The final confirmation just eases my nerves a bit more that it won't drag on needlessly any longer than it already has. I can finally put this piece of shit series behind me when it finally does end, too.

I still find it hard to believe that a series that started off so good, has derailed into complete garbage as much as Naruto has. It han't been any good since the battle between Naruto and Pain, and that was, what? Like 4-5 years ago?

To be fair, it already was on the decline during the last arc before the timeskip. Sasori and Deidara were small highlights but after that is was subpar at best and horrible at worst.

Just like Bleach (although i really think this arc is amazing) naruto needed to end and hoepfully it will. I have found myself bored for the past year of chapters almost. Hopefully it will end on a good note though

I think Naruto will end sooner, maybe six months before Bleach. I don't think in 2014, maybe 2015 if we are lucky.

Please don't turn it into a Hitman reborn final battle.

I am honestly surprised that people would want it to end during this war with madara, to me that would be a very anticlimatic ending. Because as everyone says the war is one of the most slow progressed and sad excuse of an arc to bring back characters to tie up loose ends.

Like i said, this story needs another arc, not another STORY, but just another arc that resolves things from a more personal perspective to the plot. Back when things were not chaotic as all hell and over emo obito causing mass destruction and wars, followed by madara an the jinchuriki's beasts was the only core element of the story.

If you look at the story as a whole from a different point of view, obito only turned rogue in part 2 of the manga, madara was only mentioned during that time as well and was all centered around that plot. Our favorite villain Orochomaru kind of got forgetten during all this crazy madness.

You remember the amazing sasuke Vs naruto battle from part 1, something along those lines needs to take place involving orochormaru in some way or another before this story ends on good terms. The conflicts between naruto, sasuke, sakura and orochimaru have never been resolved as of yet. The original characters first introduced in the story line, needs to have complete closure at the end of the storyline.

That is interesting. It's wide open for some piece of shit, filler-packed shounen anime to come in and get bashed for a decade or so. Maybe room for 2.

Nothing. Mainstream battle shounen is becomming barren land considering WSJ had to bet on Toriko of all things in their efforts to replace Bleach. When naruto ends, they'll be left with One Piece and nothing else. Maybe they'll switch some of their focus to comedies considering how well AssClass is doing?

I wish it ended on a better arc though, tbh.

Guess it will soon be the Big 2... or just OP left since Bleach isn't doing so hot either.

Naruto will still probably run a while before it actually ends though. :P
But since went from the climax to nearing the end: another year or two left?

Not really, Toriko is doing good. I've also heard of Nanatsu no Taizai but I don't know what kind of a shounen it is, looks battleish from the cover and synopsis. Battle shounens will never die.

Toriko is doing good indeed and it's already been consistent longer than Bleach ever was, so in my book it's superior even if should turn to shit now (which it doesn't look like will happen). But yeah, Toriko is already more than 2 years old and with Naruto and also HxH probably ending in the foreseeable future it really does look like a barren land unless 1 or 2 new titles storm the market. Fairy Tail might come back at some point and could replace one of those two (not my favorite battle shounen, but I've been missing it nonetheless), but it's not really fresh either so if it comes down to only OP and maybe FT without something new on the horizon (I don't think I've missed anything in the past 2 years, have I?) I'm not very optimistic for the future of the genre in terms of long-running shows. But we still have tiem for announcements until Naruto and HxH come to an end, so for now I'm full of expectations.

The people who complain and hate are the same ones who read it week after week, it's pathetic and shows just how stupid they are, keep hating, it only makes us stronger.

When did one piece's amazing sales start anyway, the 40 to 50th volume? then there's still time for other series.

World Trigger has been doing good lately and toriko can go on for 10 to 20 years.
Assassination Classroom is not gonna be super long, the author said so himself.
Kuroko is probably gonnaend soon too, can only go so far with basketball based on the real world.

And how many years will this "Final Phase" last exactly? I'm willing to excuse his shitty war if the Madara and Sasuke fights are done as good as possible (which they have the potential of doing) and if the ending is actually decent.

What a load of shit. The Kage Summit arc was decent, and the Confining the Jinchuuriki arc was just as good as the Kage Summit (if you didn't like the Kushina flashbacks then you have no soul). Sure they weren't as good as the Pain arc, but then again nothing else in Naruto is. The only arc that has been bad since the Pain arc is the war arc.

That's the problem - after all the advertising it's only doing good. Ratings finally settled around 5.0 but that's mostly because it airs just before One Piece which is closer to 8.0. Also, Toriko often has worse rankings than anime airing half an hour before it so it doesn't look that great.
Volume-wise it's even worse - it might look well only if you forget it has 130 episodes anime. It's a battle shounen with long on-going anime and still can't get close to 400k. Titles like Magi, Ao, KnB walk all over it. Fairy Tail and Bleach are still much above and it will likely never change. Bakuman with much less advertising and more niche theme was selling better and they started at similar time. AssClass sells twice as much as Toriko despite no anime and being significantly shorter.
When that's the best (and only) candidate for WSJ's #2 after Naruto and Bleach end, I can't see the genre's situation in bright colors. Oh well, One Piece is enough and there are other magazines can put our hopes in.

It's in Weekly shounen magazine ( the same magazine that has FT) and it's not really doing exceptionally well in sales ( below 100k) it needs an anime to gain popularity.

So you're talking about the anime of those two? In that case Naruto even if the manga ends now the anime still has over a year. HxH will probably be a year. Fairy Tail is most likely coming back, in 2014 or so. What about Nanatsu no Taizai? It's an action, fantasy, adventure, shounen and it's doing quite well. Bleach will probably also be coming back once this arc or whatever is close to ending. AssClass while mostly a comedy from what I've heard should be long running. I still don't see how shounens are a barren wasteland.

Here were go again, you saying all Toriko is, is advertising. First of all it's settled around 6 while One Piece is at 8. Toriko's ratings are still good, even if the ones surrounding it are doing better, it won't be cancelled. I've even looked at some past ratings, you always say it's One Piece that's supporting the anime right? Where's your proof? When I looked at those ratings while One Piece was up around 10, the anime before it were around 2.0, so your theory doesn't really fit. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else doesn't too.

You're really going to compare Toriko with Bakuman. You don't need advertising if the mangakas who worked on it were the ones who did Death Note, that's advertising right there. And you haven't said anything about Nanatsu no Taizai, like always you're just obsessed with Toriko.

But I agree. There should've been some dialogue about that when he returned to the village after talking to Nagato, but Kishi is just terrible when it comes to writing female characters.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
