But we do care. Only manga (the little comic book) can be considered true cannon. Anything extra in anime is just that, extra. It may be nice or whatever but it is not part of the true storyline.
Youre right, all of it is Naruto. But when the anime adds, or removes, stuff which causes it to differ from the manga one has to choose. You can choose the anime if you want, but the manga is the only true Naruto, strait from Kishi.

to tell u guys the truth i dont care if its the anime or the manga, i actually prefer the anime better, so what if its not drawn into a little 'comic book' or whatever, its all still naruto

It's important simply because the manga is what creates the story of Naruto, not the anime. The creator of Naruto has little to do with he scenes in the anime that aren't in his manga. So for story purposes, the extra scenes in the anime may as well not exist, as the manga has not only passed that point, but is continuing the story regardless of what happens in the anime.

Hope that helps clear things up.

Prefer the anime to the manga.... So I suppose you haven't seen the 50 or more filler episodes of crap.
I mean I tried to do the filler episodes but i had to stop when the Ramen guy got his own episode. I just contended with the Manga and watching a little bit of the new series. But honestly I just read the Manga, because its the only way you'll get the actual storyline and not just added nothing.

Then you gotta admit that all the Naruhina filler moments are cannon.

[Nick Soapdish]

No, he just said that he liked it better. Not that he thought it was canon.

[narutokage]

No, he just said that he liked it better. Not that he thought it was canon.

Agreed. He probably wouldn't be here then if he was supporting NaruHina

[One-Shot]

im going to sound really stupid for asking... but what does canon even mean?

It's referring to the details that actually matter, as far as the series is concerned. The Naruto anime can be broken into two categories: Things that happened in the manga (canon), and things that didn't (filler).

Filler really has nothing to do with the main story of Naruto, and wasn't even made by the creator of the series. So, it means nothing to the plot. Things that happen in filler may as well have never happened, because they don't mean anything to what happens next. Examples of filler include: All Naruto movies, Any quest to find Sasuke outside of Shippuden, most pointless arcs with minor characters you never see again, and every NaruHina moment in existence.

Canon is what's important in the story. Things that happen in canon have an impact on where the story goes, and are referenced later on in the series. Canon includes: All Naruto vs. Sasuke fights, the Chuunin exam, Jiraiya and Naruto's quest to find Tsunade and master the Rasengan, and everything you see in the manga.

so your saying no one likes the anime cause its got more in it and it actually moves unlike the original manga?or do u mean because its a copy of something else with things that never really happened? or...... (continues making stupid reasons past the point) besides you gotta admit anime is way funnier!

It's more like if Thomas Kincaide made a square reproduction of a circular painting done by an unidentified Old Master who's identity is unknown, but Kincaide put some birds in it in the corners where before there were blank corners. Kincaide's painting may be a good interpretation of what Rembrant was planning with his painting, but it's just his interpretation and there are a lot of people who would say it's desecrating the original.

When you're arguing based on anime filler, you are like an art student trying to argue that painter X (who put Ducks in all his paintings) did the original Old Master because there are ducks in the Kincaide interpretation.

You can like the filler (the Kincaide version) all you want, but using evidence he put into the painting to argue a point is just silly.

Desaix, you probably needed to tune that down a bit. ^^;

Here One-Shot, think of it as you drawing a comic. Then someone came along and decided to turn it into a carton. And then they threw in a bunch of stuff that didn't happen.
Now, you're stuck because everyone thinks everything that happened in the cartoon, happened in the comic.

See? It's not if you like tv over books, but someone else adding things you didn't put in there.

[SakuDotz]

Hey I actually agree with that! I wish Sakura would loosen up around Naruto more than she does. A hug would be so cute!

oh i get that! i wont change my opinon that i like the anime better but i do see where your coming from, sorry about all that, oh well, back the original topic. Hugs!

[narutokage]

The day Sakura hugs Naruto, he would be on cloud nine. And there won't be any way to bring him down. Just imagine a 15 year old hyper naruto.

Poor Konoha...I feel sorry for its residents

[SakuDotz]

I think that the quality of the anime isn't as good as the manga. But anywho, yeah... Naruto and Sakura need to comfront each other! Perhaps a hug is right!

I agree that the quality of the manga is better. In fact, I don't find the anime funnier. It just makes Naruto look retarded.

One-Shot, kindly keep your hands as far away from my *** as possible, thank you very much.

[AnimeGirl_123]

Aw NaruSaku huggies. ^__^ Yeah, Naruto only tried to hug her in one filler. It doesn't count. V__V Besides, if the anime counted, NaruHina would have alot of hugs/holding scenes, because in almost every filler they were in together (I think it WAS every filler they were in together...), Naruto held Hinata or touched her in someway. (ahhhhh XD)

298 was love love! ^^ She did hold him! Well... it was only because she was healing him... I think....

i already said im not changing my opinion, enough already
