1. I share in your general disappointment for the manga and what the conclusion, including the recent movie, did to the integrity of established personalities, subplots, and just every moralistic value Kishi was trying to leave an imprint of in the minds of his readers. However, I try to maintain a sense of rationale. Sure, being passionate about your opinion is a good trait, but allowing it to influence what you're writing to such an extent that it distorts your writing is not good.
2.Of course, the manga has been gradually lessening in momentum and sales long before the ending even arose. The final results of how everything ended up would have magnified the drop by some unknown percentage. But the decline in sales relative to what was being experienced before isn't too significant of a drop by itself, I would say.
3.Nothing short of a comprehensive survey asking questions regarding the personal opinion of the movie, ending, and the circumstances that developed from it could give any definitive answer. Oftentimes the viewers leave after having reached the ending of the manga/anime. In Naruto's case, since the final results of the story have already been more or less shown with the recent film, a large portion of them feel disinclined from continuing with the anime. Why should they? Not only is the manga over, but Pierrot has already depicted how plot turns out and what the ultimate fates of the characters are like.
4.Another interesting explanation for why the anime's ratings declining that another poster here suggested was the fact that Pierrot was going into a filler arc. There's no denying that filler versus canon storyline is generally a contentious issue which most prefer the latter to the former. The infamous "filler hell" at the end of Part 1 is an example of an anime that overused nonessential low-quality crap to pan things out. Couple this with the generally low budget animation, and you have a justifiable cause for the anime slipping out from the top ranks. I suspect it will manage to crawl its way back into the top 50 once the core storyline returns.
5.I'm not too familiar with Narutospot.net, however if it's the website which I'm thinking of, it's no surprise that they would feel content by the final results considering the bias a large number of Western fans tend to lean towards with issues concerning heroineship, character rele vancy, the importance of characters such as Hinata in the life of the protagonist, and of course, the romantic relationships.
6.All of which I just repeated above, but as I said, the anime will likely manage to regain some of its lost momentum now that more of their budget is freed up from the overly expensive TL and once they return back to animating the manga and not their fictitious nonsense. They won't have as many viewers as before (probably anywhere from 10-30% worth of a viewer loss is my first guesstimate), but the casuals and anyone else still willing to watch will ensure some measure of success for the anime. Whatever disgruntled fans who choose to forswear the anime do, Pierrot will be guaranteed an audience because Naruto is still name-brand that attracts a large amount of people. Oh, and just keep in mind that not everyone shares in our discontent for the manga/anime's final results. It would be shocking to me if more than half agreed, actually.
1,No its not the ending that makes me write rough , its how I always write you can say its my slang its a habit I know its not looking good but sometimes I can't help it and write more roughly so to say
.
2.Well I don't know exactly how much the sales has dropped compared to the last time but I do know that compared to the other manga's Naruto isn't doing well as it used to be looking at the statistic volume by volume Naruto's sales drops constantly for a manga well know such as Naruto when the % should be rising when its in its peak the % is actually declining that's not looking good it means the quality is bad and its lost its appeal . Its not about how much the sales has been decreasing but its the image the products gets with this statistics in the eyes of the public and the critics that will not go well .
3 That's true and it has its impact for sure on the overall view of the franchise by its viewers basically SP f**cked up .
4.Yes I already pointed that out fillers are one of the problem along with its bad animation . But I partially disagree with your last part even when SP comes back to the main story line they were butchering the canon also by adding new stuff constantly fans were also pissed at that to its also another reason for the rating fallings . So its already lost the respect from its viewers it affects their reputation which made a part of their audience leave the anime for good even when the plot line returns bc people are feed up with their BS and I've witnessed this personally many of us left the anime and never returned to it but find other anime's to enjoy . Basically its a very bad marketing that SP does in here bc it doesn't attract any new potential viewers by doing this .
5. The site its basically on the level of Narutoget.com and along with it its one of the first Naruto anime sites to put out the episode out there and it has its own sub forum for discussing the anime episodes as well as the manga . Well I didn't say that they are content but the NH fanbase there it is , the casual fans at that time like myself weren't and there was always complaining by how bad the anime was even by the NH fans SP was being butchered as hell .
6.Well that's your personal opinion so the only thing we can do is wait to see what is what I'm aware that not everyone think like us and its ok but I really don't think their rating will go even slightly up from what I've seen so far , SP has done more then enough to kitten with the fans and lose respect the hatred for them is very real but we'll see how it plays out .
