Well she started reading the series because of Naruto's character and the journey of Team Seven. Each one had their individual goals like Naruto and Sasuke the obvious ones. Sakura who wanted to become the strongest kunoichi and get recognition from Sasuke, and Kakashi who had a tragic back story. It was this that made Ria wanna read the series, and she saw each development, and let me tell you Sakura was her favorite character from the females because of the change she went through from Part 1 to Part 2. She even told me "You know sakura achieved one of her goals at the end of Part 1 which was Sasuke's recognition." She saw how dedicated Naruto was about his accomplishing his goals. Her choice on pairings, I've already explained. That's why Ria had so much passion for reading Naruto.  

 

 She doesn't know about a lot about Anime and Manga, but she did read and watch Death Note (her first manga read and anime), Full Metal Alchemist, and Rave Master (manga only). So she asked what I should recommend to her and I said to give Naruto a shot.  

 

 

Yeah I actually forgot to tell her about 699 and 700 at our family thanksgiving party, but I was relieved when she texted me about getting some rest and finish the last two chapters in the morning.because like you said Ria wouldn't have been able to sleep that night. Plus I would've actually felt bad for it cause I'm the one that recommended it without warning her. Luckily the only warning I gave her before she went to bed was "When you read the last two chapters have extremely low expectations and keep it in mind.". It still hurt her, but she was glad that I gave her that warning. 

 

 

I know how you feel academically this ending didn't help my second year of college. I've just been sad and angry at how this happened. Tbh, this series was a way for me relieve stress, but the ending just did the exact opposite. Although I did something even crazy when I read like 5 chapters of Attack on Titan every night during my first semester of college last year and wow did prove something. Granted now I'm up to date with that series so I'm fine now, but back then I was like damn I gotta work my way around this. 

 

 

Btw Ria told me that if I find any other anime or manga to read that I'd recommend them to her when winter break hits for the schools. She told me that if they're not insanely long then she'll probably take her time instead of overdoing it like she did with Naruto. So of the series I've read so far, I'd probably recommend Boku No Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and O Parts Hunter, but only after she's off for the holiday because school/college is important. 

Naruto Part 1 was just splendid. Personally to me, it is one of the best shounen mangas I have ever read or seen (even the opening and endings were better than in Shippuuden). Each arc was amazing and compelling even though our main characters were only twelve to thirteen years old. It's easy for a newcomer to get hooked up. When it comes to Part 2, however, you needed to learn to have some patience. Most of the people went into the manga with the expectation to see another Naruto vs Sasuke fight, which we did- after nine years. But we kept waiting and waiting and somehow lost sight of what everyone of us was waiting for. I could go on and on about the war, but basically what I am trying to say is that Part 1 focused more on character development while Part 2 focused on all kinds of things: war, politics, social conflicts etc. etc. But yeah, the last two chapters really are out of place, and I am glad that your cousin realized that on her own. She took her shipping googles off unlike other fans.

 

Can I make a recommendation to your cousin- and you-, too :) ?: As for animes, there is this new anime called Fate/ Stay Night- Unlimited Bladeworks. The main character is Shirou Emiya who suddenly gets drawn into this battle competition called the Holy War. The Holy War takes place every decade and is a competition b/w  7 masters who are usually magicians. Each master is supported by a servant who is usually a historical figure from the past. They have to fight each other to death to win the Holy Grail that will grant them one wish. The animation is beautiful. The character development is done in a subtle and logical way. I love the series, and you guys should definitely give it a try. Two things, I'd like to mention: Fate/ Stay night is based on a visual novel which has three possible storylines. The anime picked up the one with Rin Tohsaka. Also, first two episode are longer than usual and are very slow in the beginning. If you like AoT anime, you will like this one ;)

Boku no Hero Academia is just greatness. Almost done with catching up, and so far I'm enjoying it very much.

 

 Next semester, things will go differently with me and studying, honestly.

They will make a heaven feel route movie.
In that route sakura matou is the heroine and she is like Hinata character and better in everything.

[Jio Freed]

I don't think Jemma's spoilers are real that's the one thing Asa Ch did that he actually backed up and proved and provided decent arguments against. 9He also said that she herself admitted this though ofcourse its Asa Ch who said this so take it with a grain of salt)

[lupina]

Wait, what? So Naruto uses a cheap pickup line (there is some ramen in my room ... srsly?!) to get a Girl who is heavily devoted to him to his room?

Like, for real now?

I know! I'm so excited for it . Sakura Matou had a much more tragic childhood than Hinata Hyuga ever had, but nevertheless was able to approach her crush and talk to him without fainting. I initially thought she was Hinata Hyuga 2.0, but meh. Fate/ Zero helped to open my eyes tbh.

I hope they won't rush the movie though... The Heaven Feel's route takes like hours to accomplish.

So what are the chances Kishi realizing how much he kittened up and retcon the ending at some point in the future with one that...you know....is actually consistent?

So what are the chances Kishi realizing how much he f**cked up and retcon the ending at some point in the future with one that...you know....is actually consistent?

.02 percent.

1. It has to flop big time to such degree that it even affects his following works.

2.Some years need to pass.

3. People need to keep complaining to him via letters, costumer support etc...

4. If Battle Angel did it then you may have a chance but dont expect much nor raise up your hopes. Because Masashi Kishimoto ITS NOT Yukito Kishiro and James Cameron its not doing a deal with him unlike he has with Kishiro.

No chance. It will never happened.

@trang95
Sakura matou >>>>>>>>> Hinata.
Even thought in popularity ranking she lose to saber.
I think if kishi develop sakura properly she could be much more popular than Hinata.
I mean base on the movie, Hinata power level gonna be on par with naruto and thus sasuke lol? Why don't kishi make her into heroine from the start.
I can't believe I'm his defender two month ago.

This movie will be epic. I'm shocked about what she had to suffer through though :( ... I mean how are they gonna even execute that in the movie if you know what I am talking about. Even though I'm a Saber fan, Ufotable is doing an awesome job at making me like all  three girls. The only person I still hate is Shinji cause you just can't like him.

Kishi did the mistake to cover so much material. It all just spiraled out of control. Hinata and heroin...? I would only accept that if we saw her becoming more confident and stronger- through her own hard work.

He might. Many authors have admitted things they would've liked to have done differently. However, I think the chances of that happening are low. It seems like he's lost many fans just because of Naruto. If this guy wants to continue being a mangaka, he better not say anything else for sake of his reputation. That is, if he plans on creating any more new series.

Another reason I think so is because he does not seem to care. As many people have have said, the start of Naruto was great. It had heart, plot and the makings of an amazing manga. Come Part 2, an he manages to deviate from what he established in previous chapters. Many of the things he added were unnecessary. What was the point of the Kaguya arc? Sis we really learn anything we didn't know? Woukd we have guessed that Naruto and Sasuke were Indra and Ashura's reincartions? What is the point of death and loss if you're just going to Edo-tensei them back to life? Just, what is the use? Thee isn't any. Kishimoto just wanted to prolong it.

You would think that the ending for a manga as legendary as Naruto would get a thematic ending, with Team 7 and the previous gen, resolutions and so on. What we got was two chapters full of OOC characters, new ones, and only resolution of the pairings. and skyscrapers . This is not something that someone who loves his story woukd do. It's simple really. Kishi gave up on himself and his work whike we, being the loyal fans that we are, didn't guve up on him.

Anyone here prepared for a 110 minutes of Naruto-kun?

I think he might already know it, but is forbidden to talk about it.

Or he just does not care anymore.

[六道仙人]

LOL naruto was trying to bed her with the cup ramen's excuse. what is this movie...?

[Mikey1181]

So the movie comes out in Japan at what time and day?

[Nefertieh]

I saw a post on tumblr saying that anna x han from Frozen is a better love story than sasusaku. LOOOL oh dang.

I don't think Jemma's spoilers are real

that's the one thing Asa Ch did that he actually backed up and proved and provided decent arguments against. 9He also said that she herself admitted this though ofcourse its Asa Ch who said this so take it with a grain of salt)

Jemma's spoilers are real though. She's the person who translated LadyGT's doujinshi, she ships sasunaru, sasusaku and naruhina, and everything she said so far matches the confirmed spoilers. She's also warning people that the movie is about nothing but NH and that she was disappointed at the main villain.

Honestly, she has no reason to lie.

That image.....was disturbing.

The gif with the 'ramen cup affair' even more so.

 

I'm kind of speechless now....

I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.
