It was really awful watching the news, there were all those videos of the tsunami sweeping through Japan, and you could see people running from it, cars getting swept up in it. Absolutely heartbreaking, I just hope that Japan can get back on its feet. They really need all the help they can get right now.
Obviously, don't expect any new anime or manga releases for a while. The Japanese have got far more important matters to deal with right now. I'm glad that Kishimoto is OK, I just hope that all those other mangaka are OK as well!

It will take a little over a year to recover

I'm glad that many of the anime, manga and game industries (yes that includes Kishimoto, Kubo and other mangakas) are safe. And yeah, I don't expect any new releases in any form of chapters and episodes for at least the next 2 weeks because they need time to recover from the tragedy and the wrath of Mother Nature/Earth. My condolences to the families and people who lost their loved ones in NE Japan.
Also, I'm going to donate when I get back to school. So, everyone let's be good people and help them recover from this tragic event.
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

Just great, we really need more of the signs to freak us out, damn those Mayans for making those predictions, I would rather been let clueless about this. Now seriously speaking, things with the nuclear power station don't look so good. it won't stand againg another earthquake, the last thing we need is another chernobil.

There are several reasons this comparison sucks. For one thing, one was a natural disaster and one was a tragedy caused by the cruelty of other men. If there really happened to be some correlation, both events on both dates would be the result of nature, not coincidence. For another, going by that logic, Katrina would be the most comparable loss of life in the US this past decade, but 8/29/05 doesn't add up so neatly so of course that's not the one used. Then there's the matter of the reality that... the Mayan calender isn't ending! It's just going from Baktun 12 to Baktun 13 on that date.

EDIT: From what I have gathered on google, no reliable sources (BBC, NPR, even mainstream American Media) has reported on his death. If he or any other famous mangaka really did die, that would be huge news in Japan and at least get a minor article in the west. So, I think it's safe to assume he's not dead and these are some idiots wanting to scare people who read Naruto.

It says that Kishi died =/
It's false, the tsunami was around the Sendai area, far north of where Kishimoto lives. It's already been confirmed he's alive. I haven't heard of any confirmed deaths outside of the Sendai/Fukushima region.
One bit of good news is that G-Finder has taken Naoko Takeuchi off the missing list, she's now in the seeking information on status. It's not a confirmation she is okay, but it they must have received information her status is no longer missing.

What makes all of this so horrifying is that it all started out as any regular Friday usually does, and quickly became one of the most terrible days in Japan's recent history
