Official Anime/Manga Help and Discussion Thread
I'm one if those generic jackasses that watches/reads mainstream stuff such as DBZ, Naruto, etc.
In terms of Naruto, it's sort of a double edged sword. I endure a lot of bullshit for even a moment of awesomeness. I loved part one mostly due to the spotlight different protagonists received. After Shippuden started, that slowly died off, and the main characters and villians received far too much attention.
But moments come, such as Might Guy 8-gates, which, IMO, was one of the most beautiful fights in manga history. Too bad Thursdays upcoming episode looks like they botched it in terms of animation.
And about the anime, I really expected a lot more for such a high ranking anime. As time progressed, animation and detail dropped significantly, and much more flashbacks and filler have been made. And I guess we can blame the movies for that. Which I couldn't give 2 shits about. Canon or not, they suck.
I like to compare Kishimoto with George Lucas. Both in control of a beautiful plot, setting, and characters, but have horrible direction, and make terrible decisions without advice from others. Basically like giving superpowers to a retard.
Plus, I'd like to give Kishimoto a Grade-A asswhoopin over how terrible he is with handling romance and character development.
All in all, I suppose the show is somewhat of a burden. It taunts me with immense potential, but takes horrible direction sometimes. And having watched it since it first aired on CN, I can't help but go back to it. But now that the manga is over, all that's left is to see the final fights animated.
Again, the series has it's moments, I just have to cope with the bullshit imbetween.
Working Season 3 is amazing.

Started watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Plan to finish it by the end of the year. Pretty great so far. Can't keep track of all these characters.
manglobe (ergo proxy, Michiko to Hatchin, Samurai Champloo, deadman wonderland, twgok, etc) went bankrupt and closed down. thus, gangsta went down the shitter in quality and ended ambiguously.
kekkai sensen finally aired it's final episode after 5 months or something.
soranowoto was a great watch. if you like moe, but you like your moe with a bit of war torn post apacolyptic military jargon, then you'll love it.
Finished the first season of JoJo's. Totally dope.
Nothing amazing this season unless you're into One Punch Man or have sequels to watch. http://anichart.net/fall
