I read it. I'm more than a little miffed at the annoyingly sappy, completely disingenuous tone of the message. I wrote a response on Buzz that I'll copy here. Basically, if there was even a hint of them making moves to create a better model that works with the reality of the internet, I...

Re: Naruto 414 Discussions / 415 Predictions I can't believe that this argument about tsukuyomi went this long (btw, it was obviously tsukuyomi). It's amazing the lengths people go to try and fit facts/explanations to fit their preconceptions. Anyway, this chapter was really good for the...

yeah, I've seen a number of fanarts/fics and stuff that portray Naruto as anbu, and for the reasons you guys have stated, I've always thought that they're pretty out of character. Related to Naruto, but not about anbu, I think that it would be cool if he learns how to (somehow) summon the...

Re: orochimaru hes not dead Fair enough. [hr] So about that translation in 352. I'm not exactly sure why aine didn't translate it exactly, because the Japanese that he says in that panel is unequivocally "Orochimaru is dead." No wiggle room. It's actually somewhat misleading to translate...

Re: orochimaru hes not dead That's what I thought. Are you referring to the English translations or the original Japanese?

well said. I agree. Sasuke is his best friend and now that the whole "Oro might kill him" thing is over, he's worried about his friend making a stupid mistake (for various reasons) trying to go after Itachi. So he's going after Itachi to try and find and stop Sasuke before he acts on his...

Re: orochimaru hes not dead So much for that elephant in the room. See chapter 352. - Oh, I had forgotten about that second thing. Good point. Anyway, I'm still of the belief that he's dead. From a meta point of view (the plot and pacing and what not), keeping him alive in any form does...

Re: orochimaru hes not dead about that. How many of the people that Orochimaru have taken over actually have mattered at all after Orochimaru took them over? Zero. In fact, the whole "your consciousness lives on" thing is only stated by Oro himself when he's about to take over that short...

This is a good sketch of Ichigo. Keep it up.

Re: orochimaru hes not dead well said. that sasuke is a powerful ninja? Yes, it is. But that Oro is somehow still alive in his body? Not necessarily. We already knew that Sasuke is powerful. I mean, he disabled but managed not to kill an army of ninjas all in the same melee without breaking...

Re: orochimaru hes not dead Oro is dead. This is a story about the old generation being replaced by the new, plain and simple. The parallels and indications of this are EVERYWHERE. Now that Oro had nothing else to contribute to the story, Kishimoto got rid of him. He didn't get a real death...
