No one is forcing you to watch the fillers. You can just skip them if you want. I don’t doubt the creator has his hands in the production of the anime so I don’t know why you’re asshole is spreading over this.
I’m not spreading my asshole over anything, I’m just saying that shitting over the original version of something because it’s in black and white is pretty stupid.
Are you one of those that finds the Lord of the Rings movies superior because the books didn’t have any illustrations in them? Or any other movie based on a book for that matter?
I was referring to manga in general on that part. Definitely not Naruto, but considering the shit that’s been coming out in the past couple of years this one isn’t even that bad.
I pretty much stopped reading manga 5 or so years ago because all that came out was Dragonball clones and lolicon.
Show me where I shit on the manga version.
Show me where I said you specifically were shitting on the manga version : )
The following question part was rethorical.
So tell me be honest did you enjoy DBZ more as a Manga or an Anime?
You’re quoting me so it looks like you’re making me out to be shitting on it.
I rather the anime over the manga because I like seeing it in action but then I will be about a year or two behind so yeah.
Like you’re paying for these scanlations. As for manga VS the big American 2 (DC/Marvel) well, you can argue all you want about the quality of story, but there really is no comparison to the quality of the artwork/presentation traditional comic books have over manga.
Also, just because an anime might be based on a manga doesn’t mean the series creator has no say in its production.
That’s a good question. In all honesty I liked both, but I watched/read both as young boy 
The manga is definitely better in the humorous parts (like the original Dragonball series, before Z) but obviously the action was portrayed better in the anime, even though most of the battles stretched out for WAY too long. Also the anime where I watched it (Italy) suffered from many stupid cuts. Although from what I’ve seen the US version wasn’t much better if not worse.
There are many cases of anime being better than the manga version don’t get me wrong, I just don’t think that’s the case with Naruto at all.
I will agree with you that the presentation is far superior in American graphic novels, I would be a raging otaku if I thought otherwise. But on the other hand presentation is definitely not everything and I usually value the story over the artwork. Unless the artwork is really bad.
Yes I’m sure Mr.Kishimoto has SOMETHING to do with the anime, but I think you’re overblowing his role in it. I’m sure he’s busy enough with the manga (taking constant “research breaks” because he can’t keep up with the weekly shonen jump deliveries).
yeah alpha, i smell the rat too :razzy:
kishimoto has not really any say on the anime. it’s just studio pierrot adaptating his work under hayato date’s direction. maybe they are seeking his advice from time to time although we have reasons to doubt that since they regularly mess up things like attacks kishimoto has described in his databooks. (fukasaku doing a water stream attack instead of sharp tongue for example)
i agree with studtrooper. take the anime for what it is. if your standards aren’t too high it’s enjoyable and sometimes there are some real goodies. since i am sucker for seeing things in motion and with music i am always looking forward how they animated xy scene.
I can’t believe there are actually real humans that enjoy Naruto.
Like, actual people. In real life.
No joke.
Well, for me at least, it’s gotten to a point were honestly I just want to know what happens and when it’s going to end. It’s not that I enjoy the series too much, but I followed it for so long that there’s no point in stopping now. I only have to dedicate 3 minutes a week to it.
For me, I look at Manga Vs. Anime arguments as a Chun Li Vs. Zangief type deal. Manga packs in more hits(Chun) But the manga packs a bigger punch(Gief). I count Filler as gief missing a punch because blow for blow, Chun loses everytime, but as long as she uses her speed to counter his power, things can stay even. Personally, I enjoy both and collect both. That’s my two cents on it.

Oh boy, apparently NJA’s One Piece spoilers were legit (pictures came out)…unless he’s trolling on the Naruto spoilers specifically, then what he posted is indeed true and Akatsuki just got a whole lot more crowded.
I don’t know… I don’t see how this is any more nonsensical than anything else we’ve seen.
Honestly, I don’t either. But people are bitching up a storm about it on other forums, so it’s gonna be an “interesting” day tomorrow if it is true.
Lol, with me having posted wondering why no one uses Edo Tensei anymore, if this spoiler is true I’m gonna laugh until my gut bursts
yeah really. a week before kisame came back i just threw out a jump the shark joke AND HE FUCKING COMES BACK.
i’d wouldn’t be surprised if the juggernaut showed up out of a black hole and starting screaming catch phrases from other super heroes. “HERE’S MY SUNDAY BEST!”
what im trying to say is at this point LITERALLY, ANYTHING can happen.
If its true, then they just retconned atkusuki…sigh…this is up there with Spiderman’s wish to Mephisto or whatever…
- :bluu:
Anyone notice that Hidan is the only one not included in the zombie corps? Just how long does his ability keep him alive without killing? That is provided this filler is indeed real.
I think I’m more saddened that Kakashi got Hokage-rolled than Akatsuki doing a Blackest Night.
