Naruto and Bleach: Let's put this thread to bed I

[Demon Rin]

1 week ban is the most i got (and it was over a year ago). I don't know why there's so much hostility.

People 'round these parts tend not to Like Narootoo: Sand Ninjas very much any more, but in the end that's subjective. It's possible to like the series, fine.

But Kishimoto? Best manga author EVER?!

Over Osamu Tezuka, Akira Toriyama, Hirohiko Araki, Yasuhiro Nightow, Yoshihiro Togashi? And Literally COUNTLESS more greats in the field?
Ha... hahaha... hahahahahaha... haha... ha....

No.

[sanji499]

If he did not mess up part 2 that bad. He could have been one of the best for sure.

He had great characters(especially the secondary), badass villains, high expecations, and mysteries to be solved.

Reading the interview:

Apparently, Kishi likes the saw movies... (well it was passable up to 3).

However, I really liked his description of the tintin movie

[Cyan D. Funk]

Naruto, I believe, is the ultimate example of "Failed Potential" in manga.

[Cruithne]

I'd give it to Bleach, personally. At least Naruto was good through part 1.

[Cyan D. Funk]

Part 1 was the potential.

Then Sasuke Rescue happened and everything fell apart.

[Nobodyman]

Naruto, I believe, is the ultimate example of "Failed Potential" in manga.

i.e. it's one of the biggest cases of blueballs in manga ever.

[sanji499]

Part 1 was the potential.

Then Sasuke Rescue happened and everything fell apart.

Do you mean the rescue arc at the very end of part 1?

If yes, I agree that it was annoying that Sasuke gets too much attention. At least, you had a drunken Lee, Neji vs Kidomaru (freaking awesome), Shikamaru is always awesome, the sand ninjas team was here , Temari had a great interaction with shikamaru which was underused as well.

Naruto's not a terrible manga though. It has terrible moments, and is uninspired a lot. But it's not Bleach.

I don't really think Kishi is the greatest mangaka of all time, twas a joke. I have no opinion on the matter really, since I haven't read all that much.

[piratemarimo]

...If your standard is "at least it's not Bleach," you're setting the bar too low. yes, naruto is probably not as much of a train wreck, but doing better than Bleach is hardly anything to write home about.

That's not my standard, I just think Bleach is a better example of a terrible manga. I like Naruto, and I don't think it's terrible.

Ahahaha

Spoiler:

Young Kurama is cute. Something about the young Bijuu sitting around the Rikudou Sennin. Bijuu names, not sure on some of them due to different ways kanji can be read: 1: Shukaku 2: Matatabi 3: Isona/Isonade 4: Son Gokuu 5: Kokuou 6: Saiken (?) 7: Choumei 8: Ushioni/Gyuuki 9: Kurama

[Kurbul]

8: Ushioni. Bulltroll? Seriously?

["Fire Fist" Ace]

8: Ushioni. Bulltroll? Seriously?

Oni means Demon. Cow/Bull Demon.

[Cyclone_Baroness]

What is Shukaku supposed to mean? I don't recall ever seeing a meaning besides 1 tail...which seems very uninspired if that's all it is.

[Silverblade]

Baby tailed beasts can only say their own name. I'd want to call it.

[Shezar]

A spoiler about the Lead CP coming next week from Bleach Repeat@Reboot vol.3

巻頭カラーで描かれるこのもの達の目的は？正体は？
What is the objective of these people drawn in the lead colour page? What is their true identity?

Sounds awfully familiar i wonder why...

[Oga Simpson]

Not sure if I'm alone in thinking this, but I really don't care about these tailed beasts. The last few chapters have been incredibly boring imo and it's mainly because of these guys. I just don't give a shit about them. Then again, Naruto's been boring for a number of years now so......I don't know. This series depresses me.

[Sâuza]

You know the chapter is out right ?
