What was Madara thinking anyway? Sasuke IS Naruto's TOY, not his. Or is this shaping up to be a gay love triangle?
You say that like it hasn't been for the past 462 chapters.

Disney apparently picked up Shippuden. Fanbase to panic, lulz to ensue.
On topic, Pizza is yummy and ManBearPig is real.
Whooo! You sure burned the guy I was arguing against.
Oh wait your talking about me here? Hmm mayhaps actually following along with the thing your inanely bitching about could help you perform better in the whiteknighting department. Next time you might shoot the right person with the right attack, that'd be a good start to a great career in not being a completely unremarkable big name white noise machine.
The person you were arguing against (note the past tense. They haven't replied in two pages) stated an opinion. Sure, it was in a way that someone might conceivably take offense at, but they backed down and explained their reasoning for their opinion after your response. Your response to that?
Claim they don't know anything because they like the Oracle games.

This has very little to do with the subject at hand and doesn't do much to make you look right anyway.
Then you continue to harass them about it even though they make a conscious effort to back down and end the discussion. You justify this by saying that opinions are subject to scrutiny, which is great. It's just not an excuse to be an ass. Which you were.
I'm just curious as to why all this animosity is worth your time to the point where you're expending such energy just to keep it going.
Didn't the scar cover his ear too?
Also, Sokka is too pretty and Sugar Queen doesn't look anything like Sugar Queen. Other than that, I can deal. I suppose if they leave the plot relatively intact.
They'd damn well better cast Toph right if this earns enough to make a sequel happen.
At least I hope Karin will be sexy in Naruto anime
That's like hoping soup will be a genie.
I am not dissing OP. Just showing these hypocrites wats up.
But you still haven't told me who GTFO is.
It can't be the common internet acronym because the way you talk your grammars leads me to rule that out every time you mention the guy. And you seem to do it a lot, so I'm assuming you know him somehow.
Naruto has substance through. LOL GTFO could say the samething about OP.
Who's GTFO and why he be dissin' One Piece?
When he turns out to be a
CharMadara, everyone'll go back to hating his guts.
Madara can never dream of being that aweso- oh wait he was Tobi wasn't he.
Tobi was pretty cool.
dammit.:getlost:
From criticizing Danzo's appointment as Hokage to praising him what a difference two weeks make.
Kishi added some perspective. Accidentally of course.
Hell, we're talking about the guy who recently rendered 30 chapters invalid in a single week.
You know what? Danzo has been making good decisions all along. Pein would have left the village alone if Naruto hadn't come back. Sure, it would have been in shambles, but it would have prevented further casualties from that point (ignoring Retcon no Jutsu here.) Seriously, would Pein have stuck around and further trashed the landscape if his target was still prancing about on Frog Mountain? And of course everyone was begging for the triumphant return of their savior, despite the fact that the dude slaughtering them all would have up and left right then if he hadn't arrived.
That frog was a necessary sacrifice. Danzo for Hokage.
i think you are forgetting that izumi and hohenheim met and that he fixed her 'little' organ problem -though i'm not sure if he fixed it for good or just for the time beeing. izumi wouldn't be coughing blood anymore from pure blood pressure rising and her skills in combat are likely unmatched so far, exept for bradley perhaps, who is a combat monster. she'd have been able to handle sloth pretty flawlessly when she'd be able to anticipate sloth's fast moves and wouldn't be hit by surprise -which we don't know.
father and pride on the other hand are too much of a risk for even her to handle… she's a little chicken when it comes to the bad motherfuckers, as she said herself. so she didn't see sloth as that threatening at all and she could have handled him.
Actually, I did forget all about that. Now that I'm reminded, though, removing that handicap would put Izumi up in the big leagues alongside the mains and some of the big bads. I wouldn't quite say that she could handle Sloth on her own any better than the Armstrongs were, though. Her being human means she'd still tire out faster than a homunculus, even if his most defining character trait is his laziness.
This comic would be so much better if there were an epic battle where a bunch of people die only to be resurrected through Retcon No Jutsu.
If that happened, I would love this series forever.
Ah shamely the female general was that weak… but Izumi/Sig combo was really good. Father vs Hohenheim fight is gonna be good but... you know how its gonna end... if its not get any super twist's.
I didn't think Olivia seemed that weak here. Her and Alex had been beating on an impossibly fast, incredibly powerful and practically immortal monster for and extended amount of time at this point. They were obviously going to take a few hits and I think it's pretty impressive that they held out as long as they did. Izumi basically stepped in right at the end to boost morale and help finish the job. Considering the fact that she frequently coughs up blood at the slightest provocation, I have a feeling she'd probably be even worse for the wear had she been fighting the whole time.
Either way, great chapter. Things are really wrapping up quite handsomely. And dammit if Hohenheim didn't crack me up with his alchemical shenanigans.
Sasuke the best character IMHO
IMHO stands for "In My Humble Opinion."
Humble thou art not.
I'd just like to say that after that last chapter, Danzou is the greatest Hokage who ever lived.
Yeah, except they somehow uploaded episode 9 for the public last night. I mean it was great to watch it that early, but I don't know that it was supposed to be uploaded that early. =/
It wasn't. Someone leaked it again after they left the stupid thing lying around their public server hours in advance. Again. They decided to "release" it early in hopes of covering up their grievous blunder.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-06-03/phantom-episode-10-leaked-1-day-before-japan-debut
They did it again.
THEY DID IT AGAIN.
I was feeling lenient when they tried to save face by shifting all the blame on the dirty, filthy pirates, but I'm fed up now that we know they haven't learned their lesson.
It's as if this is an actual commercial:
EV0zuFQRCr0
Just found out Randy Newman is apparently composing for this one.
That's probably old news to the rest of you, but they can go ahead and put my seat down as paid for at this point.
I don't know quite how it would work but maybe by having subdivision/crews in the forum it might inspire more debating/good posts.
The only way that would work is as fuel for flamewars. Just look at American politics.
Keep club alignment out of debates. Other than that, it might be good for a laugh.
So just after they survive the most devastating attack they've ever experienced and pledging to strive for peace at any cost, they turn right around and appoint the one guy most likely to get them blacklisted by everyone in the Fire Country as their leader.
This after spending 8 months singing Naruto's praises and declaring themselves useless without him.
Yeah, no major logical fallacies here.
OH NO IT HAS A GIMMICK TOO!
Call it what you want, but not all gimmicks are bad. Personally, I think it adds some pretty interesting content to the show.
Though Haruhi is not my favorite anime by any means. I watch it and enjoy it, but I have plenty of other stuff I like more. I just think it's a bit unfair to call it stereotypical. And sure it has an annoying fanbase. What show doesn't?
Anyway, hope this whole situation with FUNi and Toei irons over soon. And of course that FUNi learns a little something about leaving stuff lying around on the internet for anyone who cares to study their URL system a bit to find. It's so much easier to introduce people to series when they're readily available.
@Skull:
One step beyond that as far as what? What to you is so special about it? It relies on the viewer thinking Haruhi's character is clever and funny and is completely full of itself. It doesn't have any deep character development, any great story to tell, any style or ideas that go beyond the norm. It's pretty much just standard high school comedy fare with an annoying cult following. I suppose your going to tell me crap like Lucky Star is some kind of great work and me not recognizing it makes me "shallow" or whatever next?
I get the feeling you haven't seen more than maybe two episodes of Haruhi.
! Most standard high school comedy fare I know of doesn't feature God as a main character.
Seriously, though. You should probably give Haruhi another shot. At least so you can judge it accurately based on its actual premise.
As far as the actual situation goes, it sucks that this happened, but FUNi seriously kinda brought this on themselves. Not only did people know about the early uploads, but apparently FUNi knew that people knew. I see it as them panicking and trying to save face more than anything else. So long as Toei stops throwing its tantrum soon, I figure simulcasting will return before long.
Besides, this is depriving me of my FMA. And that's lame.
my cousin says im the worst at this game since ive trained my Piplup and never developed a team i just got my Empoleon to level 53 after battling the 4th gym leader.
I used to do that back in the G/S/C era. Level 100 Feraligatr managed to survive Red's Pikachu somehow.
Heck, I only started using non-damaging moves seriously within the past year. I've been playing these for like 8 years and I'm just coming out of my n00b shell.
I wish American never heard of Dragon Ball. If that would have prevented this awful movie, it would have been fine.
Yes, destroy the fond memories of American children everywhere. Take away their nice things. At least it will prevent the existence of a single bad movie.
We've been cheated and lied to. This is obviously Sai in a wig and contacts.
! I don't know why Hinata dieing was the thing to push Naruto over into fox mode; despite what a lot of fans seem to think he and her where never that close,
! See, this is my entire beef with this. I've always been fond of Hinata. She's one of the better characters in the series and she's pretty endearing. I understand she's quite popular with a lot of other people, too.
! Kishi has nothing to gain by killing her.
! Pein has now killed Jiraya, Kakashi, Shizune and now Fukusaku. ALL OF THOSE CHARACTERS mean more to Naruto than Hinata ever did. They should have been the ones pushing him off the edge, not Hinata.
! There is no point in killing her.
! She's nowhere near the battle. She's in the village, being told to sit still by the dumbass parents who think Naruto is Jesus in an orange cape.
! There is no sense in killing her.
! So why the everloving hell does she need to be killed?
Well, Kishi, you've finally done it.
You've got two chapters to explain your sorry ass. If this fail isn't corrected by then, you can just go ahead and screw yourself and your stupid manga.
Welcome to our humble lurking place, Captain.

Although I believe the 4Kids version was full of crap, with all the name changes and whatnot, I thought this song was really catchy.
Ultimate Muscle (Kinnikuman Nisei) Opeing
4Kids' macekres are typically prefaced by epic openings. For Example:
8qLl145FqQg
One Piece just got the short end of the stick in any and every aspect, as opposed to at least having a cool theme song.
Where the hell is my Terry McGinnis?
Seriously, DC needs to work Beyond into their official universe. That show was great.
Wait, Tenten getting a fight?
Tenten getting upwards of three consecutive panels?
Lies.
Why does Zac Efron insist on sucking all the good out of the world until we can no longer have nice things?
EDIT:
Oh, THAT'S why.
This game has excellent loading times.
This thread has reached its second page with no mention of Flavor Flav.
Let me remedy this.
@Skull:
Edit: Anyone know if Lupin III ever had a manga? Love that show…
Yeah, quite a few volumes, actually.
No one scanlates the classics, dammit. :getlost:
! DIEEEE KIMBLEYYEYYYY!!!
! Srsly. About damn time. I like a little crazy indiscriminate manslaughter once in a while as much as the next guy, but I'm hoping this is really the end.
If we're doing game openings now, here's the game version of the Tales of the Abyss opening I posted earlier. It's a different video, and the song is awesome enough to enjoy more than once.

! Possibility 6:
! Naruto, having had the snot beaten out of him, wakes up in the middle of Kakahi's first bell training session while still tied to the post. He then realizes that everything after that was agenjutsucop-outdream.
! End series, cue massive pissed off fanbase.
@Hakuro:
The entire East Blue Saga of One Piece.
…I think I have made my point.
Why stop there? The entire series through to Skypiea and possibly beyond. Shayandora, anyone? Karugara? Birami the Dachshund?
Haha. Merchandising.
Anyone seen those commercials for the Dark Knight action figures? With the Joker that barely bears a passing resemblance to Heath Ledger and has no Glasgow Smile? Heck, it's carrying a bazooka. and Batman's Stealth Signal or whatever, which I'm pretty sure has never existed in anything.
Toys are bound to suck. This movie could be the next Citizen Cane and the toys would still suck.
That being said, quality schmality. The figure's going to look like Justin Chatwin either way.
Time to rot some teeth with some mega sugary sweet Jpop.

And yet it's such an addictive song. Show itself is awesome, too.
But if Sasuke is stronger, than it is also weird, cause he was not even able to capture the 8 tails… Without his team, he would be 6 feet under by now. And I can only image Naruto vs. Sasuke as a one-on-one match...
Don't bother trying to fathom it right now. Tiers have been off since Konohamaru succeeded in KOing an opponent Kakashi died against.
And ignoring everything leading up to it, this last chapter was actually pretty dang good. Naruto managed to use his bag of two tricks in a way that was fun, interesting and new multiple times. For once, Rasengan and Clones didn't seem like same ol', same ol'. What's more, no sign of Sasuke for what, 20 chapters or so now? This is pretty good.
Now the fact that the village idiot is owning the God of Destruction is still odd, but whatever. At least he's doing it in a cool new manner.
…I just know Kishi's setting us up for something dumb. Lulling us into a false sense of security or something.
Nausicaä was a movie first tho. So you can't really say "the movie version the manga". But I have never seen the movie myself. The comic is my all time favourite. At least of Japanese comics.
False.
The only reason the manga exists is because no one would let Miyazaki make a movie that wasn't based off of a manga.
And thus marks the very, very end of a once great empire.
A moment of silence, I think.
officail subs generally tend to have a bad name and rumors say that fansubs are expectedly better because the fans try harder to translate everything accuratly,
Wait, so the people who don't get paid have greater incentive to get it right?
Official is the way to go, especially if it's free. As far as I'm concerned, every good fansub has 5 or 6 bad ones to counter it. Official subs have more resources, more people working on them and in general a good reason* to actually spellcheck and get their terminology right.
On topic:
! Anyone else wondering how Naruto was actually able to set this particular gambit up? He didn't even know Pein was in Konoha until he went there himself. It just kind of bothers me. Would have made more sense if the messenger frog actually delivered his message. Other than that, this chapter looks better than most. Not by much, but an improvement, nonetheless.

Tales of the Abyss opening: Karma by Bump of Chicken
GmRoNo-eqIU
I used the anime version just to conform to the rules. Sorry about the quality. It's the only video I could find, since Youtube is run by anti-fun nazis who don't like good music.
Also, Bump of Chicken is the best band name in the history of ever.
I missed that part, CN started it before it the time so when I watched it on my DVR it started JUST before Dramatic Mojo ended. Did I miss much beyond Bellum's face?
You should have still gotten Bellum's face. It's in the scene where the girls are fighting over the key and everyone in Townsville gets disappointed. There's also a Mac and Bloo cameo in that scene.
CN hasn't been doing me many favors. I liked the fact they showed the PPG marathon, though that was mostly to advertise their Complete Series DVD, which is actually a good deal at $60.
Last time I checked, Amazon had it for about 43 bucks.
That comes with the added bonus of not coming off as a homosexual while leaving your local Best Buy.
Really kind of defeats the necessity for Boomerang especially when they'd be airing across both networks.
Boomerang's pretty much there for Flintstones and Top Cat and stuff like that. Vintage Hanna-Barbera. It's like the cartoon TV Land. It's always baffled me why CN couldn't just pick a night to show their 90's classics on their own channel, since they're certainly not as old as CN seems to think they are. It would probably attract more viewers, too.
No, that one exists. It's called "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey." That's the Rock Concert-esque one I was talking about in my last post. It never got aired in the US, but I think it's on Youtube, if you can snag it fast enough.
That being said, it's kind of a lame episode. About the only good parts are the villain song at the beginning and Professor Utonium marching around with a bunch of sentient meat slices for no apparent reason. Pity the series was supposed to end on that note.
