holy shit a Naruto thread!!!
Who were yall's favorite characters & those that hit your soft spot? My favorite of all time is Sasuke, I think he was right despite all his messiness, but aside from him, Hidan and Shino are great too. I also like Sakura out of spite and what her full potential could've been.
What are your headcanons/"in a better anime, this would've happened"? Personally I think every clan deserved to powercreep as hard as the Uchihas to different degrees, based on each clan's attitude to breeding power. The Hyuugas definitely could've gotten some freaky shit like not just blocking chakra pathways, but injecting their own chakra into their opponent's pathways to puppeteer them, or even make/unmake/modify things to the molecular level via ~chakra~, like tapping a chicken and making it lay eggs with two yolks every time. Idk I think it would be fucking awesome. Also due to my Shino bias I really wonder what an Aburame powercreep would be like. Bug mecha sounds cool but that's probably too many bugs to sustain for one ninja unless you're a jinchuuriki. Maybe an ultra-powerful cancerous breed of maggots that are their own bioterrorist weapon that basically salts the earth of their enemy's lands, or ones that feed off their enemy's chakra that enables Aburames to create bug clones OF the enemy that can nullify them. This would've been sooooo cool.

Oh god, I read so many funny fics with the Akatsuki. Like crack-tier but well-written. There was one author that loved Hidan and I can't shake the characterization she made whenever I see him. Such good memories!

Link to the author who wrote all my favorite Hidan fics. "Piano Man and Church Boy" absolutely murdered little 13 year-old me. Highly recommend for a stupid fun read!

Kishi is racist against long-haired male characters, WHY DID HE KEEP KILLING THEM OFF!? I legitimately can't think of a long-haired guy he didn't kill in the original series. s2g his rule of thumb was if a guy's hair goes past his neck, it's time for the head to roll.

Neji is best boy! He was my husbando for so much of my teenage years. Sometimes I still dream about finding a long-haired sullen guy who needs to be bullied a little, kek.

The Shinobi System and Its Future

by Uchiha Madara

1. The shinobi system and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of the elite in the "advanced" lands, but they have destabilized societies, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of ninja techniques will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" lands.

2. The ‘one shinobi village for each land’ system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing shinobi and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.

4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the shinobi system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence: it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can't predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the shinobi system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and military basis of the present society.

5. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the shinobi system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed Shinto and 'nature worship' movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.

I used to be obsessed with naruto during middle school but nowadays all I know about it is that there is a naruto all grown up anime that I haven't watched and that awful boruto show that I actually watched a bit because it was on tv and I was bored. Boruto has a very boring design and all the kids are annoying, and not naruto-annoying, boruto is legit retarded and has no personality beyond his dumb daddy issues… "oh no my da is hokage and I hate him and I'm gonna publicly humiliate him by doing stupid shit for no reason because I am a rebel and not a sheep like da" like, fucking get a grip, he managed to be like naruto but worse. And how dare he speak of naruto like that? couldn't Hinata ninjaed his ass a bit so he can learn proper respect? How could this happen, it makes no fucking sense, he is just a rebel because his dad is successful and respected (fucking finally)???? Nothing else??? What kind of teenage angst is that? It's not like he is even treated different because his dad is hokage, there is some random bullies there bullying the most annoying nerd ever and boruto narutoed his way into this friendship and (easily) defended the kid cus he got impressive powers, too bad he doesn't have an impressive personality. Also he has a friend that is carbon copy of that guy with a ponytail (don't remember his name, been a while) I know it's his son but the designs are so bland. I expected to see new characters, not 'hey, look, this is that old character kid. You can recognize it because they look exactly the same', if you gonna keep reminding me of the old characters, why do a story on new ones at all?
Naruto and his son have the most ridiculous father and son relationship issues I have ever seen in anime… and thats to say they have none, I have no idea what is boruto's problem. He is retarded and I hope sasuke's spawn teach him a lesson if the guy is still around. Or maybe the pups of that ninja dog. I swear everyone of the old show reproduced. Fuck this shit, I hate the day I learned about boruto's existence, life was better when I thought naruto had ended with them growing up and becoming good ninjas and kicking sasuke's ass. Boruto makes me angry in a way only goku dying and getting revived again and again only to ruin other peoples life does. I hope goku kills boruto, that'd be my wish for the dragon if I could get all the fucking balls but I'd never get them because we all know bulma is a fucking cheater. I hate everyone in boruto's but specially boruto himself.

I love kakashi, he is forever my favorite character.

>he is just a rebel because his dad is successful and respected (fucking finally)????
Without Boruto acting like a little shit, there would be no plot and no dramatic tension. A lot of things in Boruto don't make sense, Boruto having a minor grudge against his dad is one of the less offensive ones.

>but the designs are so bland.

Yeah, the 'new generation' ones are the laziest shit, on par with Hirai re-using his in almost every work he's worked on.

>why do a story on new ones at all?

>I swear everyone of the old show reproduced.
To have the cake and eat it too. Can't take much risks by writing a story about brand-new characters, but with this [ONE SIMPLE TRICK] we can capture the oldfag audience!

I just wish it was better written. Felt like they really wanted for them to have a complex relationship but at the same time didn't want to make naruto look bad, so boruto just looks like a whiny spoiled brat. Missed opportunity right there.

what's your favorite sideship (canon or not)?
I ship pretty much anything tbh but Kotetsu and Izumo hit a specific soft spot. I like to think they lead relatively chill lives and looking at Naruto and going "thank fucking god we were never that bad"

Unrelated but I hope Hidan's still alive underground in some comatose half-decayed way and there's like a bunch of insects feasting on this slowly (but slower and slower) regenerating Cornucopia of flesh, it would be cool. If Boruto ever touched that plotline they'd fuck it up super hard probably, but it'd be nice to hear about some actual continuity instead of powercreep retcon plothole.

I'm currently in Japan and I've been cruising every used doujinshi store in search of HashiMada doujinshis and I can't find any, not even shitty ones (and otoh there's a fuckton of KakaIru stuff which never made sense to me as they must have like two dialogues together). I guess the ship is more niche than I thought and that the few people who own doujinshis don't want to part with them. They've even become expensive online, they easily tripled in value for the last four years.

Thank god for the great fanarts, but I'm a doujinshi collector first and foremost and I only own three of HashiMada, it's a bit frustrating, especially since I got into the ship super late. Maybe I should get into fanfics, do you have any you could recommend (with as littlr Tobirama as possible)?

I got forced into JJK, KNY and MHA, but I still saw their strengths and weaknesses. They just don't have it and I could rant more than I did but I'll try to limit it. Land of Waves and Sasuke Retrieval Mission are two I rewatch the most. They were so perfect.

I'm bowing before your power. That is one hell of a binge! Did you find something to decompress with afterward or was it the emptiness? I'm not looking forward to the emptiness, but my buddy said after Dadandan we're going to watch Boruto… I felt like that was a threat lmao

>>425796
I think one reason is because of Kishimoto's authenticity, care and motivations that went into writing a story that was different from Shonen of the time. With the exception of the NaruSasu accidental kiss he claimed in an interview that he did that because no one had had their rivals kiss before. Sakura's writing is a complete fail and clusterfuck, but he did put in effort with reading girl's magazines, asking his wife and daughter for input and reading writer's advice books kek. He didn't come from the angle of subverting expectations or progressiveness for the sake of it with his storytelling.

Latchkey, bullied and abused kids and I would say anyone who felt lonely and rejected, or like they couldn't get out of their life circumstances found a message of hope. I think the way Kishi writes loneliness and grief is the most human out of the manga I've read. I'm not a yume, but when I was a kid I really wanted Naruto to be my friend lol Since Naruto didn't start out some super hot and cool popular hero he already set a clear goal for his character to reach. This clumsy little failure who was hated and written off by everyone (until he proved himself which was his ultimate goal) had to fight hard to earn the respect he has and that set him apart in such a purposeful way. All of the characters are dysfunctional in their own ways and Kishimoto lets that be their downfall or when their life turns around for them. He gave most of the major characters a defining moment where they chose to go down the wrong path, or took the hard route and the good path instead. Orochimaru and Tsunade in particular. Orochimaru and Sasuke had the most opportunities to have a way out I would say and they still chose each time not to.

>>Flaws

Naruto was much stronger than Shippuden in my opinion because he (Naruto) had a lasercut morality and that was what was so powerful about him as a character. It wasn't empty words or what Kishimoto thought sounds good on paper as the lesson of the week because Naruto's actions backed it up. So when he didn't compromise and it opened other people's eyes it really was life changing. Naruto's bonds he created through it (Sasuke, Gaara, Konohamaru, Kakashi, Haku, Neji, Tsunade etc) were so good. He's definitely no saint or above it all. It would have been so easy for Naruto to hurt and hate, or have destroyed Konoha in retaliation. Having the Will of Fire and the dream of being Hokage was impactful because of how bad he had it. I definitely wouldn't have been able to overcome that level of rejection and persecution that poor kid is amazing. Back when Sasuke's approach was clearly shown as self-destruction and a perverse dogma I think Kishimoto was on track with him. That was where Shippuden jumped the shark. Sasuke started getting validated, Neji was proved right, Nagato's unwillingness to see anyone's pain other than his own dragged on and on instead of Naruto or Tsunade btfo'ing him right away. That reminded me of Sasuke in part one when he threw his losses in Kakashi's face when Kakashi was counseling him about his revenge and inferiority complex. When Shikamaru had a revenge arc that completely undermined Naruto's anti-revenge message too and muddied the morality. Sasuke had compassion up to a point for his suffering in Naruto, but in Shippuden he kept getting asspats, justification, enabled and validated instead. That Sasuke and Itachi's narrative shifted to poor little victims doing whatever it took, that Sasuke was vindicated AND he didn't learn a damn thing from Itachi's and Naruto's sacrifices it was all lost. Sheer madness! He just doubled down on it. The Uchiha Curse of Hatred was a new explanation I think? I'm delayed at the Sasuke vs Raikage fight because my buddy is unavailable to watch it with me lol She's the one who keeps forcing me to watch shitty series so I think Naruto equals out with duration.

Is it true that Itachi's true story is a retcon?

I'll try not to ramble so much next time.

It's so much easier to give your MC unnatural power-ups and a special holy lineage than have him struggle as a commoner whose only ace in the sleeve is a dangerous magical beast powering him up he never even wanted in the first place.

The manga is barebones (and still shitty), the anime is better solely because it has many filler episodes with character SoL (that's the highlight - not the crappy plot from the manga). The powerscaling is all over the place, the antagonists from the end of Naruto turned to be a bunch of nothing, many old characters get ruined in the course, it started to diverge into some dimensional crap nobody gives a fuck about, Boruto as the MC is unbearable, it's conceptually derivative (had to include brothers-in-arms-to-enemies rivalry at all cost). It's funny though, because Boruto the series retrospectively makes Naruto the character into a hypocrite - world peace never ever.

Kimimaro/Jūgo, the most barren of the in plain sight ships. The anime even amped it up further.

I painstakingly translated a German doujinshi using a Deutsche to English dictionary in order to read it. Warning it's unfinished and probably never will be https://www.animexx.de/doujinshi/44049_♫_Memories_♫/ I wish OCR was available back then. What a difference it made.

I hope Mr. Beast does fund a reanimated Naruto + Naruto Shippuden. Road of Naruto was amazing, even it had flaws though. Some of the original scenes were better, but it still looked so good.

If there is ever a fully remastered release I would buy the full series filler and all. The Naruto vs Pain fight and Chuunin exams Naruto vs Kiba are two of the fugliest things ever. The first VotE Naruto vs Sasuke battle would be another one for the polish or upgrade potential.

Any alternative studios you would like to see a reanimation from?
