Naruto!!

[Dyani]

Ok, who here has heard of the anime cartoon Naruto?


and who LOVES it????? :D

(PS anyone who likes the childrens programme called *LazyTown* should like this >XD http://gd-tangent.tsunami-art.com/view.aspx?Rec=165 )

[Nephilim]

I love Naruto. Don't like the the dub, but I have been reading the manga for ages now. :3 It's one of my favourite series.

My favourite characters are Deidara, Sasori-danna, Haku, Kimimaro and Itachi. Done the odd bit of fanfic for it too. As for pairings, there are about a gazillion, but I mostly ship Sasori/Deidara, Haku/Zabuza, Itachi/Sasuke, Tayuya/Kimimaro and Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura.

[Dare]

I've never seen the anime...I know they play it on Cartoon Network and for that reason I avoid it. I do, however, read the manga on my lunch breaks...thus far it's doing a good job at keeping me entertained. ^_^

However, I must confess...I got so sick of seeing those ninja headband things at Otakon that now I kinda want to punch every kid I see wearing one.
:eek:

[KanuTGL]

YES Naruto :D I'm lovin' that anime/manga! Though, if I'm gonna watch the anime (which I won't until the filler-saga has ended) it must be in its original language... I'm refusing to watch the dub again :eek:

Haha, don't know why I said March. I meant Feb 15th. :ayecapn:

[Broken]

I've been reading it since before Shonen Jump put it out in their first issue >.> I hate the dub version- they dumbed it down horrible for children. I hate the 'Believe It' crap- he never said that in the Japanese version nor in the Manga. But yes, I've been obsessed since my 11th grade in High School... since I was 15 or 16- I'm 20 now...
This new wave of fans peeves me off at times too...
oh well...
Oh and the fillers suck >.>;;;

I know its terrible >XD You can see that the Ninja gets so owned... cos Pirates rock better obviously lol

BTW about the dub, I think that the dubs alright... I prefer it to the translated version as I'm lazy and can't be arsed to continually stare at the usually unreadable writing at the bottom. The voices for the Japanese version are better though.


I'm also considering getting some Naruto stoof... headbands etc... does anyone from England know a reliable source for this stoof? Hardly anyone does it here... except the States... and then theres shipping costs... gah I'm too much like Shikamaru


PS any specific favourite characters? Who do you think you are most like?

[Broken]

I like Kakashi- I am alot like him... kinda- Just sit around and read porn ^.^;;; just don't peeve me off type of thing... pretty laid back, cept when I'm fighting for what I believe in... and the porn... *nosebleed*

Well, I already answered up there with Deidara, Sasori-danna, Haku, Kimimaro and Itachi, but how 'bout you?

You seem to be forgetting the HORRIBLE ANGST that comes along with his character.

[Shadow]

i love Naruto its a really great manga"and anime" but the main resun is that iv feel preety mutch exaktly like naruto....and i mean exaktly...not that i have a monster fox in me but more relastic terms...but all and all exaktly the same.....

and i probebly act like him to xP nosy,impolsive un-focused but really serius when the situation demands it ^^

(points down at his banner xP)

hehe just ask Kanu xP

[Dyani]

Me? My favourite character HAS to be Gaara cos hes a sand-flinging demon of angst and cuteness all rolled into one :D *cough*look at my sig *cough*

Who am I most like? (apparently Orchichimaru according to my wonderful boyfriend whom I adore with all my shirikun) :evilgrin:
I guess a mix of Shikamaru and Sakura... Shikamaru for my laziness but intelligence if I could be bothered.. and Sakura for my *horrible, horrible obsession on someone who won't ever return my affection and my naiveity*<--my boyfriend (is so dead) I think I'm like Sakura because of my beauty *flounces off and magically turns into Ino*

[Nephilim]

Time-Skip!Gaara is awesome indeed.

Same with TS!Shika, when compared to his part I counter-part, however, on the whole I don't think he's that interesting. Kishimoto is really over doing it with the whole smoking thing though.

Not really sure who I'd compare myself to. I'll think on it.

[klowd]

It started perfectly, now you just have to watch one of each 10 episodes. btw hello (=

[Xacheraus]

Hey there klowd! Good to see you're still around some. (=

As far as Naruto, I've mainly been reading the manga. I'd recommend anyone else do so too if you're not already. BTW, Gaara has been my favourite Naruto character since day 1! :cheese:

Oh well... My best friend killed herself in Jr. High... so i guess that fits too... :confused:

[KanuTGL]

My favourite characters? Or who I'm most like?

Hmm... I think I'm much like Shikamaru, for the same reasons as Dyani xP Then... I don't... know... o.O I dun think I've found anyone in the Naruto-cast that matches me perfectly :confused: Sakura gets close I guess, but I really don't like her, so... >.>

And yeah, Shads, you are the real-life Naruto. No kidding about it xP The only things missing are the blond hair and love for Ramen.

Then my favourite characters are definitely Neji, Shikamaru, Kankurou and Yondaime Hokage. Simple and clean.

I wish we knew Yondy's name. ;___; It would make writing about him so, so much easier.

Edit: I made some quick research on it, and I'm almost 100% (like, 96%) sure his first-name's Arashi. Then for his last name, I'm not as sure... There seems to be 2 to choose from.

No, Arashi isn't his name; that's pure fanon. When Jiraiya hands over the summoning scroll for Naruto to put his name on, it obviously says the Yondaime's name in kanji. Someone claimed that it said Arashi, but the text is actually (and definitely purposely) illegible. As of yet, there's no name for him, other than the epithet of Konoha no K?roi Senk? (Konoha's Yellow Flash).

Ah. Darnit. And here I've believed he had a name xP Suppose it's sorta like TLK's "Tanabi" then. :thinks:

[Shadow]

would be cool to know Narutos dads name akshely...pitty you couldent find out

and just on a random note here is a cool music video i found its with really strange music (not psyko strange) and i can honestly say i love the music and bin lissening to it over and over agian but the video aint that bad ether " obviesly it contains spoliers abut Naruto so dont watch if your not done to the point of fillers >.>)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAFnpJ_xuEA

i love the begining first (note the first song that comes up only play for like 20 min its not that song (in other words not the intro song )

think its german..

"note" DEAD TO THE FILLERS! >.0 "goes to read the manga)

It's never been stated anywhere in Naruto that the Yondaime was Naruto's father.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have any pictures for reference? The only difference I noticed from anime to manga with Neji was changing his seal from this to this:

[Shadow]

its kind of obvies he is Narutos father is it not" winks" but i might be wrong


anyhow..i find a pic here " the back of nenji" here he has his ordinary long pony tail..


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/taintedguardian/naruto-9-6-11.jpg




while in the anime he has alot more "thicker" style of his hair so at say and has the pony tail itself on the end of his hair

http://www.projectbag.com/naruto/backgrounds/pics/neji1024_768.jpg

see where am getting at now? :3

Well, that would raise some pretty big questions. Like why is the child of the Yondaime hated so? Why did no one else offer to take him in? Where/who is his mother? Why doesn't he know? Yondy being Naruto's father is just so horribly clichéd and I can't see it doing all that much for the plot. Though the Naruto is Yondaime theories are pretty interesting.

I'm still wanting to write a Naruto/Yondaime pairing subconscious fic though. :evilgrin:

It's not big a difference. Probably just a stylistic difference between Kishimoto's early art and the animator's art. Creative license.

[Ciara]

THIS thing? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2xFP9L-Gzg&mode=related&search=) Yes I love that song too x)

Srsly I dunno what Naruto is, but it seems to be something of this I cannot understand, like with Final Fantasy... and stuff ^^ I did that test of which character you were tho ... But I don't remember which one I was now ... I saw some guy there who had a bindi just like me! ^^ (pic in earlier post) *wie*

[Lion Roar]

I watch Naruto anime and read the manga, but honestly, I have lost interest on it lately (specially the anime, let's see if after the fillers it gets better).
My favorite character is Shikamaru :]

[Raruka]

OMG I ADORE Naruto! It's been one of my favorite anime/manga for years now. Ehehehe, I even dorkily cosplay him at various anime conventions. :cheese::cheese::cheese: Hmmm....aside from Naruto himself, I really like Sasuke and Gaara the best I think. EVen though Sasuke's an emo little brat sometimes, I still love him. :D

It took me a while to get used to the dub, to be quite honest. But I think they do a pretty good job with it. I still like the subbed version better though.

[KanuTGL]

Hah! I figured/remembered who I was most like of the Naruto-cast! = D

Iruka!
How could I forget him!? :gasp: He should definitely be among my favourite characters...

[Nephilim]

By the way... fancy a caption contest?

The rules are anyone can make a caption and when the best one is chosen by the person who supplied the picture, that person with the best caption can choose the next picture.
