Just give me confirmation of Naruto x Hinata so I can have sweet dreams and beautiful nightmares for the rest of my shonen reading days. >3> It's already bad enough that they completely ignored her feelings towards Naruto after the Pain Arc. 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. |
| It's obvious but it's good to know that it's official. |

| Good God, finally. Now Bleach just has to end. After that we'll get two new mangas ripping off Bleach and Naruto, in the same tradition as how Bleach and Naruto ripped off Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, respectively. |

| So seeing how the series was right before its hiatus, i take it that really slow war arc is actually done and now we are starting the legit final arc I really wonder if people will start dying now or they will keep the body coutn unrealistically low like it has been |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| A final phase may contain sub-phases and sub-sub-phases too LOL To be honest, I doubt the newsworthiness of such "news". I see more gimmick than actual news in the statement as published. |

| 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. |
| '' Holy F**K '' i gotta get back onto that anime. finally theres a damn ending to it (hopefully) |

| Honestly, I don't really consider myself a Naruto hater (Hell, I still read the manga on a weekly basis).... But this shit's gotta end. The war arc is by far the worst arc, it has been drawn out so damn long and is completely boring and uninteresting. At least while the manga was in the Akatsuki arcs it was still interesting since the arcs didn't last 100+ chapters. |
| The war arc is boring, please sensei end it right now lol. |
   |
| Idk about the manga, but so far in the anime I'm liking the war arc, definitely one of my top 3 shippuuden arcs. I see it getting a lot of hate, but I don't really understand it. I can't think of many Shippuuden arcs that got me more excited about the newest weekly episodes. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Well, at least with Failbito out of the way, things can only get better. |

JustALEX said: I disagree. It's obviously interesting if you're still reading it on a weekly basis. I am, too. It's nice to finally see the untold parts of the series, although it is a bit drawn out. I don't like Naruto but I don't hate it either. It's just a series I've got to watch until the end no matter what.The war arc is by far the worst arc, it has been drawn out so damn long and is completely boring and uninteresting. |
IntroverTurtle said: Higashi_no_Kaze said: 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. 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. Progeusz said: 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.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. 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. I think Hiro Mashima mentioned something in his twitter account that he was only going to focus on 3 more arcs, so i don't think its going to be any where near the length of the big 3 or Hxh. I know this really isn't relevant to your heated debate, but i don't really want to get involved lol. |

For the love of god, just end it already! I know, right? When i saw that, i can't believe crap kishimoto says, his declaration of the manga reaching the climax would be more appropriate at this moment when he is truly entering that final stride not 1 in a half years ago. |

IntroverTurtle said: Yeah, right. Show me the last time Toriko had ratings above 6.0.desperate Toriko defending It's around 5.0, One Piece is around 8.0 In your defense of Toriko you're stepping out of facts straight into fanfiction. Where's my proof? Common sense. Use your head a little. Both are battle shounens, Toriko airs just before One Piece in best time slot and it was put there two and half a year ago, back when it had like 140 chapters. Toriko gets crossovers with One Piece, the most popular anime time after time. It was getting color pages all the time even when its ranking weren't impressive, often together with OP which ruled at #1. Also, what are you smoking? Toriko took DB Kai's timeslot which had 6.5-9.5 ratings (OP had 10-11) Go ahead and check, weeks before or later: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-22/japan-animation-tv-ranking-august-2-8 Unlike you, I'm talking about real life. And no, when anime airing before it have better ratings (or at least don't lose) it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. Toriko just fails to attract additional audience. So what of it? Bakuman is completely different manga from Death Note, it wasn't guaranteed to do as well. There are no battles there, no intrigue, no superpowers, not too much humor. I's completely different from other WSJ manga. You're giving Bakuman not enough credit. You can't just say "it was made by popular authors so it was destined to sell great". Even most popular manga get advertise all the time to keep the hype up, Bakuman didn't have such luxury. [e]Oh, and before you go on about Bakuman having good time slot too - nope. It aired at NHK which has much worse ratings than Fuji-TV (at least anime-wise) and was forced to compete against Detective Conan. Toriko couldn't ask for better timeslot while Bakuman got one of the mightiest opponents possible. And its manga still managed to sell better.[/e] I ignored Nanatsu no Taizai because it's still short and isn't selling well enough. Also, that's just one title. Stop talking about your delusions and only then dare to call others obsessed. |

Nah it's still boring reading it on weekly basis. Why? Because there is no plot advancement. What did they show? Bigger jutsus, the same dialogue all over again going into circles. What I call interesting is every chapter of One Piece, well almost, they're so packed that I could barely breath with so little space in it. Quality manga chapter should be like that. |

| Does any one know how to actually translate the video on this article, it would be nice to actually hear what they are saying on the show. |

| The last chapters were full of crap that I couldn't really care less anymore. |
| Finally! These last chapters have been nothing but dragged out BS. |
| Final Phase. I've been reading Naruto for as long as I can remember. I feel a little disappointed because it's almost over. I hope they can extend to 700 chapters just like One Piece. |

| Naruto might be getting cliche and silly from some time ago, but I still can't help, but enjoy it :( Guilty pleasure, I guess. |
  |
| I could not be happier, really, getting sick of it, the war took a lot of time, when you would think it would be over they would bring more dead people back, I guess people got sick of it. I just wish that he actually shows some postwar stuff for some chapters before ending it. |
 |
| Whatever Kishi, just make the conclusion decent. |
| jump wont let it end! |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Yeah, and i hope he stopped writing forever. |

However you're accidentally right. I've given up long ago on making any logical statements on the internet, as they never seem to win. Now I could bring some proof and arguments that B ( Togashi ) didn't rip off A ( Kishi,) but I'm too lazy. Like how Yuyu Hakusho ( both manga and anime series) ended long before the Naruto manga started ( BTW, did you know that Kishi named the nine tailed fox after Kurama fron YYH ? ). Also the hunter exam arc and the chuunin exam arc are quite similar, but Togashi started writing it before Kishi, so his ideas are original. The nen abillities and chakra techniques are both inspired by real life concepts. And if you go reading the later chapters of both mangas, you'll see that the similarities between Hunter x Hunter and Naruto grow less and less as the story progresses . So I don't think that Togashi can be accused of ripping of any ideas from Naruto's later chapters. In the end, the best argument that Togashi didn't copy Kishimoto's ideas is too simply read the manga and/or watch the anime. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
emeraldrosary said: I don't mind if it ends, I just hope they take care of all the loose ends like where the hell Yamato is, etc. I like to see some things before it ends too. There's still some things Kishimoto needs to explain us before the end, I hope he is going do that. But I don't understand Kishi-sensei.. He already said Naruto was going to end / reaching climax too much, everyone knew Naruto was going to end here. OFF-TOPIC ONE MORE MANGA ENDING IN 2013/2014.. THE HELL! |
emeraldrosary said: I don't mind if it ends, I just hope they take care of all the loose ends like where the hell Yamato is, etc. This. I just want to know what happened to Yamato. That is all I can ask for. I just hope that the author didn't forget that he exists. |
| Finally. So we will se an end in 2014. Hope the anime also finishes in 2014. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| Nice joke! |
| Ah another thing, there is a final movie coming in 2014. |
| Smiles and laughter are always good, but never forget your Poker Face.~ |

Togashi has ripped off many things from his stereotypical shonen formula characters to his story arc's . The only thing he can be given credit is for his clever concepts and that's it . Kishi has ripped off stuff too but don't think that Togashi is any better than him . Togashi is still a little better in terms of writing. |
| Wasn't it already nearing its ending? |
x |
| Now the question is: how many months (consider this is a week manga) will take to Kishimoto make the final episode from his manga. |
