It really is too bad the ending has made that game pretty much dead on arrival. I don't see how the game developers could possibly save their game with the travesty of a story they have to work with. Their hands are completely tied and they're just going to have to give us a crappy ending to the game because the manga says so.

Well the game is going to sell that's for sure, but it's not going to sell as well as the previous ones. And in the future is going to harder and harder to sell.

Well I don't know if I'd buy it myself. They would have to give me something of real value for me to buy it, though I'd have a tough time buying a game where Naruto makes the transition into the scumbag he is today.

You didn't saw the interview did you?

Kishimoto had nothing planned, he was a hack

The ones behind everything were his editors, mainly Yahagi. This explains why the story began to suck after Yahagi left 

 

If anyone else did not see the horrible interview  Heres the link to the full translated interview.

I have no idea. They have this big white package in the store. And it's written, 'Secret:NARUTO character inside!' And then they have this NARUTO volume and illustration book stacked up high in the book store for weeks and I don't wanna see it

I hoped that they would stop trying to sell the merchandise after the movie stopped showing.

 

The "secret" character is a typical ploy to get garbage merchandise to sell, especially to children. Kids love the suspense and want to keep buying until they get the one they want.  Like game cards.

 

I don't blame you for not wanting to see all that stuff.  It would suck for it to be everywhere.  I have to believe, though, that eventually it will die down. It seems unlikely that whatever popularity Naruto once had will ultimately survive what's happened to the story and the characters.

Anything New?

Meh. I'm not so sure about that. It took the final volume of Naruto a month to make half of what the latest volume of One Piece did in a week. The movie didn't really do as well as they wanted, hell, even in the west it kinda tanked from what NS4L said...

Aren't we saying the same thing?  That it's losing its popularity?

Does anyone else feel like activity on this thread gets slower and slower each day? Feels kind of odd since we usually get at least ten pages a day

[TouKen4Life3g]

I did overestimate the box office.

Hm, I just noticed you went back to TG mode, AHK.

Don't worry, it'll get more active once part 3 gets started, which i'm sure a lot of us are looking forward to.

Mostly Everyone moved on from naruto after the horrible ending thats why the activity in this forum is slow.

Don't forget about Sakura's novel. That's sure to be a masterpiece.

[TouKen4Life3g]

I'm hyped. Looking forward to the guy stab Naruto's eyes out and just solo him. Wait...

Wishful thinking...

Looks like it's going to be one hell of movie. It should be fun. Small cameo from the last work of Toriyama. Here's hoping the end of the fight is strong.

The manga ended months ago, you expect the subject to get fewer posts everyday, people will move on, even those who don't can only continue to post their opinions so many times before they find themselves repeating themselves too much, and even contradicting themselves at times, If anything you should be surprised how after so many months the topic is still active and being discussed, most of th times the topic is dropped by now and people have moved on to the next thing.

 

 

I saw Sparda's question on her Tumblr page about if my opinion on the manga changed after reading the interview, and my mind went to Bakuman, or more accurately one of it's biggest arcs, it was about a new mangaka who had a rich father and what he did was hire a bunch of researchers who studied other manga's and had a team of people write the story for the manga and gained popularity due to the story being focused on what was popular with fans instead of the actual story and the traditional Mangaka's took it upon themselves that that system is flawed and that manga that comes from the creative mind of the mangaka and his team is what will ultimately win.

 

Now I see this interview and I can't help but think how ironic it was that this manga was published in SWJ, when according to Kishi that is pretty much just how manga is made there. If someone who was number two at the publication had no creative freedom, then we can be sure the other mangaka's who don't even do half as well have no freedom whatsoever.

If he fails yet again with the novel, I just wonder how long will Kishi play mind games with our fandom, falsely using Sakura's character to hint NS beyond the grave.?
