Hello, hello MH members and Naruto fans! And welcome to another Joint Review of Naruto by <insert participants>.
Our golden cast will share ideas and will analyze the events of these week's chapter of Naruto, so gather around a fire and let's start!:party
The chapter's title is very interesting this week, because it presents an emotion that is very frequent in times of war and conflict. Hopelessness, the feeling of being powerless, the absence of people who support you are resounding reasons for despair.
The title assumes that the chapter will present weakness of despair, however it leaves space for us to decide who is displaying this emotion, and who are the ones that are capable of overcoming it. However we are at least presented the potential cast that is victim of this.
The first page presents us the 3 important battles of this war. From what we were presented until now the one who has shown some signs of despair or at least beginning of despair is Madara, because Naruto is full of confidence, Bee is just cool, and Kakashi and Gai were practically on the sidelines.
The second battle is with Kages vs Madara. Without question the Kages are the one who are on the verge of despair, however the question is how is this their weakness and can they overcome it.
Tsunade starts out by proving that her medical jutsu can heal anything as she escapes from Madara's clutch and uses her jutsu to heal herself. However as the battle progresses, Madara uses a Rinnegan jutsu to absorb the attack, and proceeds to overwhelm his opponents by making enough clones to change the meaning of 5 vs. 1 in this battle.
In the meanwhile he explains that the first psychological hurdle he threw to the Kages was revealing Shodai's face. This should've caused some despair but Tsunade's tenacity and willpower overcame that. However the casual display of the almighty Rinnegan and the superior numbers favoring Madara at the moment did cause the Kages to split up, but it remains to be seen if their spirit remains united in front of Madara.
So despite the danger of despair, the Kages manage to overcome it.
The other fight features the Uchiha bros and Kabuto. Fortunately-_-', some of the information on that battle is spoiled beforehand and practically tells us that the brothers will unite, despite the suspense provided last week of a 3 way battle.
Kabuto, because of his playfulness or careful tactical maneuvering(born maybe out of despair of fighting against the brothers) tries to convince Sasuke to join him, however he misinterprets Sasuke's intentions in this conflict. In the end he shows signs of confidence and displays a trademark Orochimaru smile in anticipating the coming battle.
The Uchiha brothers instead unite for the first time in their life, and it is a heart-breaking scene mostly because it seems to be built on a lie. Their source of despair is voiced by Kabuto who describes them as individuals who, lost their friends. In the end however the brothers managed to overcome this hurdle, and unite their strengths.
So what is the weakness of despair that the title mentioned? The main weakness is that it provides discord, but fortunately our heroes are on the right path to overcome this.

However I think impressions should be wrote by everyone...so that comes by default...so can you choose something else besides predictions?:p...this is a test run, so don't be discouraged to choose one of the more laborious parts. I mean I've already wrote the summary part, so you can use pointers from that if you'd like.

Also....keep in mind, that what I wrote there is not a short summary, there is a brief analysis in there as well...a brief analysis of the characters....I decide to insert that there, because I think that is the tone of the chapter, and I provided an angle from which we can analyze...I can take out the character analysis part at any time, so that anyone can incorporate that, but in more detail...
However if nobody will take character analysis then I will just expand what I wrote in there...and it means that 3 parts of the review are already covered.

Fair enough, whats the deadline?
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
Well I don't want to pressure anyone, since this is a test, but maybe you can be done by tomorrow? If you don't have time then Friday is a good day as well...also, what part are you choosing? If you choose Characters, then I will modify my summary, if you will choose something else, then I will take characters as well, and expand what I wrote...
Even though this is a test, I think it's a good practice for all of us to finish our parts as fast as possible, so that the others could start working on their stuff as well...
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
Sup all. I can do plot (first choice) or character (second choice) development. For this test run, I would appreciate if we could have sections due on Friday. I always have time for Naruto, but I work really long hours, sadly. What will the deadline be for weeks that are not test runs (sorry if I missed it).

Hey, hey! o/...plot would be awesome....please do that...I already did some of the character part, so plot is next on the list...
And for future reviews, I think Saturdays will be reasonable deadline IMO...
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
So I guess that leaves me with characters? Okay then.

Awesome...then I will rewrite my summary after I see what you and jdw wrote, so that I can make it a short summary for real
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
Okay, so my work schedule is as follows for this week:
Off Monday and Tuesday, work 12 hours on Wednesday and Thursday, then off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
But because it's a 12 hour, 3rd shift job the next week I work:
Monday and Tuesday, then I'm off Wednesday and Thursday... then I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The hours alternate like that each week. One short, one long. Meaning I just got off of work 2 hours and 20 minutes ago from a 12 hour shift. So after some sleep I can be on to start working on some stuff.
But I want some things squared away first. How many paragraphs should I make my impressions portion, since we're all giving impressions? And second, what else should I pick up in addition, since you want us all to do impressions and something else that takes more work?
I'm guessing predictions along with it?

Yup...you chose predictions first, so that's your part...
Impressions should be one paragraph...we will put each impression under spoiler tag, so it won't occupy much space, so you can make it a longer paragraph if you want to.
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
I give up on understanding how you guys plan to pull this off. Let's just see how it all turns out.
On a more brighter note, I asked gintara to make a Naruto banner for us. Hope she'll make it in time before the 579 deadline.

Well it's not hard...we have 5 major parts of the analysis...
1. The summary was done by me(which will be edited after I get KiSwordsman's and jdw's part)
2. KiSwordsman is doing characters
3. Jdw is with the plot
4. I talked with Googz about the art, but he said he was busy, but he might cook up something...
5. And the last remained for Delbi, who is also busy
Each of us will write their impressions in the end, like we did the P.S. part of this review
And then ninjabot comes with some predictions...
I will wrap it up with credits and good byes...
It's pretty much like we did the Fairy Tail review...there were 3 of us, so we were perfect to do 3 parts(1 part each)...the reason why it worked well, is because we had clear limitations of what we wrote...I didn't do analysis there, just predictions and so on...in this review we have greater numbers so the tasks need to be set more clearly, so that we do not overlap with what each other is supposed to do...

Oh thanks...I was going to ask about that, because I think after we are done with the writing part we will need to take care of the visuals(which panels to edit, banner etc...)
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
Alright I'll have the action section and my impressions done sometime Friday afternoon.
Just a quick suggestion/question. Should we rotate week to week who does what section? Or will certain people do a certain section every week?
I ask this because if we switch week to week it will keep each section fresh, but if we each do the same section every week it will keep continuity. Each option of course has its pros and cons in terms of the quality of the review and I feel confident we all can handle every section except Art which I think should always fall to Googlez if he is willing of course.
If we do decide to each stick with a section, my first choice would be Characters. But since KiSwordsman got it first I would assume he has first dibs.

Awesome...thanks...Friday will be perfect...\o/
About that...I was going to ask that after we finished this one....originally this was supposed to be a test run, so I figured that we could do the same format next week as well....but if we will finish in time, then we could rotate next week, or maybe do a rotation every 2 weeks, or every 2 reviews...
I don't know really, I'm okay with any section(including art), but maybe others have preferences...for example jdw chose between plot and characters this week, so maybe that is what he likes to write about...
I think we should see if anyone has certain preferences...if someone does have, then that person will stick to what he likes, and the rest of us might do a rotation...
Re: Joint Naruto review: xxx
Ok sounds good to me.
Also, quick question. What site uses the best translations with scans? I've been using mangareader since they are usually quick to get the chapters out but their translations aren't that great. Any suggestions?

I have absolutely no idea...ashher posted a link in the discussion thread a while ago...dragon fly scans or something? I think...I will check their scan out, because the MR version this week was :s
