-
Well, damn…..carry on.

The other reason being a pic where some fan wrote madara over the head of a statue.

I've seen the rope-belt thing used in a lot of other characters in other series, so it doesn't really bug me that much. At least not as much as the unbuttoned puffy fagshirt.
That, and his outfit emulates Orochimaru… who for some reason never changed out of the clothes he was using to impersonate that woman in the Chuunin Exams.
Ok, if Tobi is Madara I'll ask for pardon, if not…
I had to repost it.
-
That's pretty dead on Carter. Probably would've been better with the Shadow AL face instead. LOL
I really like that Tobi/Madara spread for some reason, even with the cliche dialouge and lightning in the background.
-
Why I called Managafan an idiot earlier is because he refuses to belief something that the character/kishimoto already stated. All the members, except like 2, agree with me.
I mean seriously how can you not belief it when it's said right on the page.
I mean I can understand his broken English if he's from another country, but seriously. How the fuck can you be so ignorant that you refuse to belief that Tobi is really madara?
Also, I really don't mind the whole "CHEESY LIGHTNING" effect because it can make the page look cooler. Same with Franky's SUPAAAAAAAA in enies lobby. (Hope this doesn't start another 5 pages on Nauto vs One piece)
-
I chose the Tobi scene because that's what he's talking to, and I threw in the "I, blahblah" to add in that effect. The hardest problem was the face, so I just threw on CD-i Ganon since it seemed suitable.
And the funniest thing about that lightning in Enies Lobby was (I forget who it was, either sabret00the, Terek or some other guy) was swearing up and down that it was because Nami had started using the Perfect Clima-tact… and that apparently it being there solely for comic prurposes was not possible.
The lightning with Tobi looks cool, but I still kind of cracked up because of how cheesy it is.

"The discussion ends here" :D

@Geg:
Because spiral masks don't work with two eyeholes.
No shit sherlock!
What cames first the chicken or the egg.
The broken face with only one eye or the spiral mask.
I dont want to prove anything i only thought it could fit in the end.I personally give a damn shit about all those uchihas i hope they all die!
-
K, who has died?
-
My money's on Phenomenol. This way to CAPITALIZE certain WORDS, and the …........ at the end of the sentences spell Phenom.

oro probably thought his disguise was very manly and just went with it
-
After mangafan found the prove.. i found another one.

Needs more chestmouth.

@Cyringohn:
Are you serious? He never gives reasonings.
His 'reasonings' are literally "…because you don't understand the plot."
So basically he's like one of those Evangelion fans who claim that if you don't think Evangelion is the greatest anime ever that it's because you just didn't get all the plot and symbolism and crap.
-
Speaking of popularity polls there should be a new one soon. If Sasuke ranks 1st again I'm gonna send prayers to the gods of chaos so that Japan would sink into the sea.
But if Japan would sink into the sea that would mean no more One Piece… or Bastard... but on the plus side no more Naruto so that would be a somewhat win.
-

If you want to see Evangelion symbolism, you can go into a church.
You don't have to wade through Shinjii crying and Asuka being a bitch.

Such as you don't need to watch Naruto in order to see all the mythology and crap. You can just go and actually read a book on Japanese mythology. Which I'm guessing EVERYONE In Japan does when they're in school considering many series has many elements of Japanese mythology not just Naruto.
Oh and you don't have to wade through Sasuke crying and Sakura being a bitch and Naruto being Sasuke's bitch to get it all either then.
Not mocking your post though or anything just to add.

Rofl. That's awesome.
but yea, now there will be offtopic posts until Mangafan comes back with teh spoilers.

People don't really read Naruto for the mythology.
They do watch Evangelion so they feel smart and think they're philisophical. That, or they somehow like the primary characters? SHINJI FOR MODERATOR

Yeah but I hear Naruto fans say all the time how Kishimoto is such a genius and the greatest writer in the universe for putting in all this Japanese mythology that every Japanese person and their mom probablly knows. Meaning that just referencing mythology does not a good writer or series make.
Just as you said with Evangelion.
-
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that,
And I've barely seen any Japanese mythos referenced in Naruto.
-
@Cap'n:

eh it's said on Narutofan a lot so maybe that's why… especially in the library.
As for mythos it's claimed that Kishimoto has obviously researched ninja mythos a lot just because there's a Sasuke character and a "Sarutobi" considering that Sarutobi Sasuke is considered one of the more famous ninja of Japan.
Also the tailed beast mythos and the legend of Jiraiya.

i didn't do any research myself but i read that most of the stuff is only referenced by name and hasn't got much in common with the actual myths.
-
Yeah, most of the shit in Naruto is just named after, or very loosely based on, ancient mythology.
You can't learn shit about Japanese history from watchin' Naruto.
-
Even though I don't like Bleach, I am fairly impressed at the range of influences it has.
Naruto's seems mostly based on Japanese lore.
EDIT: Actually I did enjoy the SS arc(s) but NONE of the others.

True but the fact is that many Naruto fans regard Kishimoto as a true genius and the greatest manga writer of all time because he references Japanese mythology when in all reality any Japanese person could build a series around the same things.
After all notice how many anime/manga are based on Journey to the West?
Personally how anyone can think that Kishimoto is some genius master of storytelling baffles me.

You know what's funny? Not attacking you or anything, but that is the reason I figured most people like death note.
-

There's nothing philosophical about Death Note, really.
Though there are probably plenty of people that read the first part to think they're smart.
-
The only thing remotely philosophical about death note I think is the whole "power corrupts" stuff with Light.
-
Yeah, pretty much. And that's just a question of: "Do you think what Light is doing is a good thing?"
-
Well, well, some people talking shit to my backs only because I have different opinion from them. Very well, guys…
I think I'm going to quit a bit until the waters calm down.
-
Forum? more like FARM
-
It's always about you isn't it
and I know it's not philosophical, but I'm pretty sure someone out there thinks so.
but yea, my explanation for its insane popularity was naruto fans read it and felt smart for doing so.
-
Well, well, some people talking shit to my backs only because I have different opinion from them. Very well, guys…

Except that it's not an opinion. It's a real translation that disproves this nonsense you keep bringing up.
-

I think they only did it to your back because you weren't here. So no need to leave! No spoilers on the next chapter yet, what do you think will happen next?
-
I'm not sure how it's talking shit behind his back when the posts are accessible to him and the rest of the free world.
-

Sai wasn't in the group, right? Something will happen.
Ok, from today I'll be more respectful, even if someone insults me or disaproves my opinions.
-
Yeah, you can't say shit behind somebody's back when you post it on a Sticky Note on a bulletin board.
-
I think what Mangafan is saying is that we're only allowed to badmouth him to his face instead of when he's offline.
-
You know what's funny? Not attacking you or anything, but that is the reason I figured most people like death note.
Weren't the only good parts of death note LADIES NIGHT and SWIMMING LESSONS?
-
Well, anyway. I think the next chapter will show everyone going towards each other but end with all of them RIGHT ABOUT to see each other.
Either that or we'll see WTF Sai is and he'll have some dialogue we don't care about.
-
Learn to speak a language other than old memes.
-
i hate when people talk behind my backs
-
@Cap'n:

Guess I'll have to consult my Ninja Info Cards for that.
-
-

I think if certain theory icomes true, it'll be something related to him. Did you read that theory?
-
We're never going to learn anything from Sai… We're never even going to see Sai's supposed brother either. He's even more useless of a supporting character than Hinata by this point.
-
Anyone notice how Sai was completely absent during the Konoha scene in the last chapter? Think there's a story-related reason for that or did Kishi just forget he existed?
-
Question, whofeels smart and philosophical from reading Naruto? Name one person who feels intellectually superior from reading Naruto. The shit people come up with these days to bash Naruto is just retarded.
-
The Suigetsu theory? It seems too obvious to be true. But it might be.
I don't know. Like Aethos said, .. Sai finds somebody. OK, then what?
