She's so terrible. So selfish.

 
We should put her on a stake and burn her.
 

But you are invested the series in some form or another. It's not dismissal or apathy to such harsh degrees that you want absolutely nothing to do with it. You're finding some reason to continue following it, even read the weekly releases. Am I wrong?He doesn't concern himself with the series, yet there's enough emotional value, albeit negative, to read the series for his amusement while also arguing that he's "distanced" from it? It's a paradox - either you're interested in the series for other motives than what may have originally compelled you to follow it or you cannot find anything substantial to maintain interest and have let it go.

I told you I changed. How many times do I have to say it? I changed from "being upset and not wanting to care" to "finding it funny and wanting to continue reading for fun". That's all.

I don't care about the story as a fan, but I will put my attention to it as an anti.

Even worse, we should turn her life into a manga adaptation and sell the rights to SP

What is new boys and girls? DBZ is on Toonami for those in the states interested in watching it.

@4life: I just realized that after having been betrayed a second time in just a matter of months yet still wanting to cling to Sasuke that Naruto's persona was going to be portrayed as far too unbelievable to me. That betrayal should've been written as doing more damage than it did and forcing Naruto to forever question who he could ever really trust. But Kishi decided to keep Naruto far too naïve, far too ignorant and way too trusting. He basically made every character never learn from their past mistakes.

In all honesty, that was a bad idea of Kishi. Yes, I did enjoy the early part 2, but the focus of Sasuke from Naruto (at least after one arc) became insufferable. To the point I see him as two-face because how different he can be in focus. Him and Sakura. I know problems are problems, but it doesn't really make them a two-face. I don't know, like Kishi said by the end, it was frustrating. As time goes on, it was getting more and more forced than it needed to be.

If anything, the whole Sasuke focus should have been just been a side story or least focus, but instead, it was always the real focus. Berserk got away greatly because of circumstance and not for finding a lost friend, rather finding a guy to say, "I killed you and it felt great."

"Finding it funny and wanting to continue reading for fun" is still an assignment of value to it, though. Hell! Technically, I'm not completely dissuaded from acknowledging anything related to Naruto. I've even discussed with Rocci and someone else about the fighting particulars of the two spawn. The detachment is strong enough, at least in my case, that it deters me from ever wanting to see the manga in front of my eyes again, but not to the extent where it's completely absent from my memory or interest. Does that make sense?

Okay. You can think what you want of me. I explained myself and I'm not interested to do it further

Can you write another version of the Kishi interview? (The one he's jealous of his wife's ex-bf) That was a masterpiece and I want more

Well I've been in a bit of a depressed place lately, but I'll make you one tomorrow. I can't reject a request from one of our great Japanese fans after all.

@ramen
My country block that site. So I think the same will happen with your country.
Since your country already implement its copyright law.

 

Which one? I used to read from mangapanda but I couldn't read from there again. I still don't know why. My friend tried that and could open that site. But I never tried mangafox or mangahere (too lazy to check )

Multiplying the sum total of all the novels comes out to $819,769.99. That's... Surprisingly good for a minor book series depicting events after the end of a declining franchise, especially since it's only the first week.  

last I checked, just because different volumes in a series add up to some big amount of money doesn't mean its selling good..... pretty sure it depends on a particular volume and how it sells, not all of them added together, if it did that that's like saying naruto never dropped in profits because that would mean the sales of 72 are meaningless and they succeed  and its the next big thing just because they got so many volumes with so much money added up

These are minor volumes intended to provide additional content/filler that explains what occurred between timeskips. I would agree with you if the content in question was a major promotion film like TL, but this is nothing more than padding for the series until the spin-off is released. Earning a cumulative total that nearly equals one million is a considerable milestone for what basically amounts to filler in book format.

I use mangahere to read online manga.

So in other words, these claims of unpopularity and lack of financial success are nothing but fabrications. 

pretty sure its not the amount of money that matters, its the amount of copies sold, and she was talking the amounts of copies sold in the first place and now you're acting like just because its a big sum of money it means its completely successful.....

Did you not read my previous post? These books are little more than trivial non-canonical filler in between the significant events yet their earnings are almost a third of some of the previous films' final revenue. And no, the amount of copies sold alone is not what determines success, it's the profits earned as well that enables these authors and businesses to thrive. If we restricted the scope of success to your highly limited definition then these people may have been let off long ago since their products wouldn't be earning any money.
