sp added some characters that appeared in a chunin exam filler arc and showed them being married too

[totherpage95]

this final episode was so bad... it wasn't even a good genjutsu like the one obito wanted 

[milan kyuubi]

Don't worry Naruto. LMAO I will always remember you as "what could, if not for SP/NH" anime ever! XD

[Legend054]

it's over guys. gg

[Bail o' Lies]

Been awhile since I asked this. Does anyone still have contacts in Japan, what are their and the people around them general thoughts now that Naruto ended, how many people do they think still watch this series, and how long do they think Boruto will run? So on and so forth.

 

 

 

You know the ending wouldn't been so bad if they did it slightly different. Make Naruto hokage earlier on and then the day he becomes hokage he prepossess to his love interest. Or when it is announced he will become hokage and have it on the same day into order to make it the day naruto's dreams are finally realized. That what I wanted to happen if Naruto had ended up with Sakura.

 

Instead he marries Hinata at age 18-19, then has to waits around for 12 years before Kakashi finally retires. During which he doesn't seem to have train at all to prepare himself for being hokage. So when he finally becomes Hokage he is so overwhelmed that he has to drown himself in his own work to in order to handle it that leads to him completely neglecting his family. Who he had seem to grown indifferent towards over those 12 years.

 

 

 

 

Naruto is a story about a boy who dreams about becoming a politician in order to change the world, that the writer turned in a story about a really poorly done messiah, and SP then turned it into a romance story where the goal was to marry a girl he barely interacted with all his life but had to marry because he feels guilty of not realizing her feeling sooner.

Agreed if he became hokage before getting married it would have been better and not be seen as a joke. It could have worked if naruto was with sakura. Naruto probably didn't train or do anything after his kids where born.

By training I mean learning management, political, and similar skills that one requires to run a city or a military base. By the time he was 17 he was already the strongest man in the world. The role of hokage seems to be mainly the management of the village, while also being the villages last and greatest line of defense.

Well meant both training to keep in shape and learning how be a good leader cause I'm convinced naruto has godamn idea what he's doing as hokage. Probably sat on his ass all those years while going on missions.

[TheFirstEvil100]

it's over guys. gg

Till Bolt comes alone but we may get off easy and they axe it very fast.

 

With one hundred billion nuclear warheads

Na I want to just blow the whole Planet up DBZ way I would kill Hinata like the predator does.

 

So I know that the people left following the series, are the ones that like this crap. But I never knew that the ones following this were the way they are.

I just read a comment from someone who played the burrito dlc (I honestly have no idea what happens in it or what to know), but this guy said that he's super hyped for the burrito anime since the characters are way more interesting than the original ones. Everything is just better.

 

No wonder this series went to hell, it was followed by idiots.

I know how you feel its at times I wish I didn't live on this planet or was stuck on an island somewhere away from people like the pro enders but this shows that they have no taste really.

 

I feel like my standards is too old school. Like go with anything. It can be forced beyond reasons, just like it because it brings auto feel, even though 98% of anime does so.

 

Honestly, I saw Hinata Finale, not Naruto.

That's the thing man this was Hinata's and Sasuke's story and not Naruto's, all this was about two of the worst charecters I have ever seen in my life I mean you have to remember that many NH fans really hate Naruto and like Hinata more than him they don't care what Naruto wants as seens when the laughed that he got knocked out by his own Daughter.

[T XD]

I feel bad for the main characters for what they have got to.

What even Sasuke? or just poor Naruto and Sakura?

[Bail o' Lies]

Just making sure. Also, yes. Naruto was the world strongest man by the time he was 17. Honestly in the Bolt movie from what I've saw if Naruto had kept in shape would have been able to handle both of the villains on his own. But he went to seed after marrying Hinata, which even the gaiden points out.

 

But if he had kept in shape all he would need to do is just learn the skills needed to become hokage and he would have been fine. Instead he sat around with Hinata raising their spoiled spawn, and look what we got instead.

 

Till Bolt comes along but we may get off easy and they axe it very fast.

It is coming out next week.

 

Both nH and SS only use Naruto and Sakura as insert characters. They fantasize about having sex Hinata and Sasuke. It why the SS fans got upset at the Gaiden when it implied that Sasuke and Sakura never had sex because that means they couldn't use her to imaging sex with Sasuke in their weird fantasies. Once they "learned" that Salad is their daughter they calmed down since that all they cared about (from what I understand they also sent many angry letters over those ten weeks.) nH hate Naruto as he is characterized that why in their fanfic they always make him the generic badass like bolt seems to turn into when he grows up.

My thoughts on Naruto Shippuden Finale:

 

http://sparda3g.tumb...hippuden-finale

 

 

So it has ended…

 

It’s amazing that it finally came to an end. I remember a long time ago, the end for a long-running series sounds surreal and terrifying. I didn’t want anything to end selfishly, but I’ve grown up and I understand that everything has to end at one point. Even One Piece will end. Naruto is one of the series that I grew up in the so called era that everyone likes to call it that consist Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. Oddly enough, I ended up liking the one that is the least popular and at times, I feel like the hate comes from envious, but I digress.

 

I came here to talk about Naruto. As it transitions to Boruto in the following week, the journey of Naruto has reached to the conclusion. Although I learned that everything has to end, it is a bit unnerving feeling because of experience. Some would take it as a funeral, some would take it as a sad but life goes on, and some would take it as another one bite the dust.

 

I fallen to the third option yet I didn’t intend to feel that way.

 

I often joke that my standards has become too retro in today’s society. I joke because as many have known, society has gotten way too comfortable for their own good. I don’t want to bring an argument against PC. I brought this up because Naruto ends on a right time where the standards are too easy to please. I at times think Kishimoto don’t need to work hard to create a solid sob story that actually worth noting, rather than someone heavily criticize it. It’s like a student project that believed his/her movie is Oscar tier yet the judge would place it in D+ level. Basically, Naruto no longer need to try hard.

 

While I was watching the finale of Naruto Shippuuden, and yes, I saw the rest of the arc, I thought to myself, “Why are these characters ending the series?” It’s a strange and ironic choice to end on. The only good part is Iruka himself, but I can see why some are turned off by it. I saw it good because it has that moment of Naruto and Iruka having a talk before the Wedding Day. I thought it was nice on the way it goes for Iruka, as well as fitting to his character.

 

That said the episode continues to drag on for its long composition of the Wedding and to me, this was a major problem. It should have cut shorter on Iruka searching for an answer or after Naruto and Iruka finish talking, cut to the wedding and end on a perfect note. Instead, it feels rather incomplete. The conversation was the only real “tear jerker” moment. Other than that, the last half didn’t feel all that special.

 

One of the major problems is how shallow it feels, but I can’t blame on the writer in a way. It has to go to the manga itself. The side characters hardly did a lot to contribute for their own standalone arc in a way. Not to mention, why end with them? I was expecting Naruto to go “Who are you?” For a series that has Naruto as the focus, he sure doesn’t get any final saying, which is actually weirder than the manga ending.

 

As for the last half, it was strange. We don’t get to see the marriage. Okay, fine, that’s fine. Then, we don’t get any impactful words to end on a high note. Instead, we congratulate him for the marriage. I understand the idea is that the side characters are the one to show appreciation but here’s the question:

 

Wouldn’t a Hokage Ceremony be the best time to do so?

 

In fact, it would remain true to the overall story. How is that hard to pull that off? Instead, I got an ending that feels like it could have been acceptable if it was a different story altogether. I was expecting something like,

 

“Thank you for your support! We hope you enjoyed Nisek- No… Naruto!”

 

The ending truly benefited on Hinata because how much focus she received. If you were to give me this ending and I didn’t know Naruto, I would honestly think it’s a Shoujo manga. I honestly would think the story is that there’s this guy named Naruto that Hinata, the protagonist, wants his love but things happen and here we are. It’s a bit bewildered. It’s like all the sudden this is what we were building up for. As if it pulls off the similar ending from another manga in which I won’t spoil, only that series have a powerful meaning. I should talk about that series one day.

 

The finale is not that bad, honestly, but since it’s the finale, it’s lackluster. It doesn’t feel like we accomplish anything nor got what we waited for. It’s like if One Piece ends, we never get to see the grand treasure One Piece itself. In other words, I feel ripped off. Yes, there’s the manga, but fans want things to be absolute, so this feels rather odd choice to end on. It’s not even in the manga. Look, I would let you slide and give you the benefit to say that it’s canon materials. That’s fine; however, it still didn’t feel special enough to be satisfied.

 

I did laugh hysterically that Sakura felt alone due to many of them were getting together (ShikaTema/SaiIno). But suddenly, a hawk that was meant for Naruto somehow lifted Sakura spirit up as if to say, “This isn’t mine but I damn well make it into one!” Yeah, that makes sense.

 

The main question is, is it better than Naruto Manga ending? Well, that depends on how you see it. If you want Naruto to fulfill his goal, concrete and all, manga is your choice. If you want more of a thank you contribution, despite the lacking developments, anime is your choice. It’s “choose your poison” if you don’t like the ending.

 

Well, it finally ended. I can see why people are sad about it and honestly, despite on what I said about standards, I don’t blame them. I respect that they felt that way. It’s just when it comes to me, I have nothing to say or any grief about it. It finally ending and that’s all there to it. It’s another journey that comes to an end though perhaps best to leave it as a memory forever on.

I feel like Kishi's stories are like a three act story. 

 

First act (Part 1) was amazing. 

 

Second Act (Timeskip to Pain Arc) On the same level with a few hiccups. 

 

Third Act (Five Kage Summit-War Arc): Completely falls flat. 

 

 

You can also say the same thing for Gaiden too. 

[HalfDemonInuyasha]

Also, a screenshot of Hinata's face on some Facebook NS groups I'm a part of has her looking REALLY creepy...like an evil villain who succeeded.

Well she was the villain, the final villain and ultimate villain.

She ruined everything.

[totherpage95]

well i hope we can keep together on this forum now it's over but i don't want to see boruto or scenes from this final episode personally it makes me barf

Pretty much.
But I will say that part 1 is more superior than part 2 due to pace, characterization, and interaction. It has cool fight too.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. None of them got enough character progression, minus power ups.
 

Also, a screenshot of Hinata's face on some Facebook NS groups I'm a part of has her looking REALLY creepy...like an evil villain who succeeded.

Can you put the scene in spoilers tag please. I got curious XD
