Fusion X. Denver Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'll definitely watch it, but not with any expectations. Kishimoto said he's done with Naruto for a while and wants to take a break from it, which is totally understandable. Though that means whatever people decide to do with the sequel series will probably result in contrasting visions, to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Liebert Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 How would you rank and/or rate all of the Naruto arcs?

mitchermitcher Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 The Sasuke Retrieval arc I hold in my heart as one of the best arcs in shounen manga history. The rest are all kinda okay I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Johan, I was originally going to just move your thread over to the Anime & Manga forum, but that would just mean there would be two different Naruto threads when one would be enough. As for your question, I generally feel that Shippuden was better than Part 1. My favorite arc is hands down the Invasion of Pain arc, though I haven't sorted out the rest of the arcs beyond that.

Fusion X. Denver Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Favorite arcs?Probably Chunin Exams from Naruto and Pain Invasion from Shippuden.Former had interesting new characters that advanced the plot, plus Gaara was a fun villain. Pain really increased the stakes and had a lot of badass moments from Naruto. And it had crazy moves that were still plausible before the series turned all DBZ.

Fusion X. Denver Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Lot of news today.1. Boruto is getting his own manga in Shonen Jump starting Spring 2016 and it'll have monthly chapters instead of weekly. It'll be supervised by Kishimoto with Mikio Ikemoto (previous art assistant on Naruto) doing art and Ukyō Kodachi (Naruto - Gaara Hiden: Sajingensō novel, Boruto -Naruto the Movie- screenplay cooperation) writing the script.2. Kishimoto will do a Boruto one-shot in Spring 2016.3. The Itachi light novels are getting an anime adaptation. Not sure if they'll be OVAs or a short 1-2 cour thing. I didn't think there'd be a sequel manga, so that's interesting. Not sure how I feel about the art though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 God DAMN IT! Well, at least it is going to have more time to develop a more sensible plot instead of one that ends up having a lot of funking plot holes. Anyone remember the crow Itachi gave to Naruto that was supposed to help when he met up with Sasuke again?No?Neither did Kishimoto!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It broke Kabuto's control over his corpse, allowing all of Itachi's actions. Itachi figured Sasuke would take hsi eyes for EMS, so it responded to his corpse eyes.

Fusion X. Denver Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yeah, they explained that. Naruto does have its fair share of plot holes, but most of those result from retcons and inconsistencies rather than dangling plot threads.I'm not against spin-off and sequel material, I'm just not expecting them to match the main series' quality. If I'm wrong, then that's a pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

·Toot Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I like how they're going more into detail with the show than they did in the Manga. Kinda ironic. Lol. Gamamaru was kinda cute. I never would have thought Gamamaru was that damn old. Well I know he's old as dirt, but didn't think he was that old.I figured he may have been around a little before Hashirama and Madara, but damn.

Some much-needed backstory there, imo.I was fine with it too overall, just thought it was a bit of a rude interruption to the main story, especially after the Dream World bullshit.This backstory with Kaguya was kind of interesting since the manga didn't really expand on her that much and there's some serious sequelbait being laid here for Boruto's anime. But hopefully now they'll just march on ahead with finishing the main story now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 So there are two episodes coming out this week that are going to cover the fight between Naruto and Sasuke. I'm guessing the first half of the first episode will be Sasuke explaining his perspective on being Hokage and then the rest of the broadcast will be the fight.[spoiler=The episode preview]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgkUhZ9fUz8 [spoiler=About the preview]It's interesting that it's in black and white...but I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand, it's a cool homage to the manga, it's like the pages coming to life. But I feel like I want the anime to make the fight as vibrant and epic as possible and I'm wondering if some of the fight's impact will be lost without color. I already saw this fight in black and white, so I'd like to see a great animated version of it. But I'll try keeping an open mind. EDIT: Never mind, it'll be in color.New opening and ending too, that's interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

·Toot Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Watching the war arc again. I can't help but notice how easy things would have been without Kabuto. If Kabuto didn't offer to help Obito, Obito would have been assed out. All he would have had was an army of White Zetsu. He could absorb chakra and take for of the others, but in the end he would lose. Everyone would have tagged up against the easily defeated Obito. It didn't really take much for Naruto to bring him down. Now add Sasuke, Kakashi, The 5 Kage, and the rest of the army against Obito and the other 7 Jinchuuriki. I think things would have turned out a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
