**Files Paperwork for the Naruto Manga**

[winb83]

i haven't peeped bleach since the end of the soul society arc like ep 50 or some shyt.. it go SOOO BADDDDD after that i couldn't do it... there was a vampire arc or some shyt .. it was just so bad man... it really was ..

Are you guys telling me its good now?

Bleach is like this. It isn't a quality work but if you like it you like it despite that. By quality work i mean its not something you can hold up as a text book example of what all shounen manga should aspire to be. I'd define it as on a level of Dragonball Z. DBZ isn't the greatest work but if you get into it and you like it you 'll be into it despite that. moreso for the characters than the story telling.

Lately Bleach has been improving. That vampire arc isn't cannon its something the anime made up to fill time.

I might have to get back into Bleach, to be honest I haven't really messed with it since the end of Soul Society which is WAY back. But if it's picking up I might give it another shot, sounds like i'll have to wade through a lot of BS though. Then again I hear this is the last arc of Bleach, so why not.

You ever catch back up on One Piece?

Current arc is probably a good place to jump back in...the last few months have been one plot twist after another. It's getting to a point where we're seeing stuff from past arcs (Ace's DF, the events of the Luffy flashback arc,

The Obito/Tobi backstory was pretty brilliant imo.

But I don't see how they're gonna stop Madara. Dude is so strong right now it's retarded.

thats my only problem with it since i just started reading again...


these nikkas not just overpowered they are on some next level shyt, i dont even know how they can beat madara now and still make it seem logical

i'm gonna catch back up on the anime then switch back over to the manga. haven't started yet but will pretty soon.

Yeah, I was talking about that on another board.

It's literally going to take a Deus Ex Machina to beat Madara. Either that or Naruto just talks him out of it. Outside of those, there's literally no way Madara could lose.

Fair warning, the anime has been dragging things out the last few arcs, because the One Piece anime generally tends to run much closer to the manga than Bleach or Naruto. For example, the anime just started the DoFlamingo arc a few weeks ago and it's not even close to being finished in the manga yet. So to avoid catching up, each episode usually only covers one chapter of the manga, so things get kind of drawn out. Here's my suggestion:

-Everything from the end of the war to the timeskip can be watched in the anime, that portion wasn't really dragged out much
-The Strawhat reunion arc can be watched in the anime too, that's really a mini-arc and is only a couple episodes
-Fishman Island arc - I'd probably watch the beginning in the anime, then switch to the manga, then maybe switch back to the anime when the fights start
-Punk Hazard arc - I'd probably just read the manga and only watch the anime when you want to see a fight - that arc was pretty drawn out in the anime
-Dressrosa arc - This is the current arc (and by far the best New World arc so far). Just started in the anime so you'd have to switch over to the manga.

If you hated the soul society arc in bleach, I advise you not to read the other arcs

I'll give you that FullBringers Arc but this Quincy Invasion Arc has been amazing.

Not really those two vizard captains get 1 shotted by James and renji comes in beats him so he probably has the power of like 3 captains, and watch him get offscreen ex by the next guy he faces

I didn't hate Soul Society...it was just that after it was over I couldn't get into the next arc.

The next arc is still a huge letdown
Ichihara goes through hell to get his mask powerup just to beat one guy and every other captain beats the stronger espada with next to no difficulty

Tousens vice captain kills him from a cheap shot

Man all that shyt was top tier moments in the naruto manga ..

And even that shyt was kinda wack compared to when naruto first started with the chuunin arcs n shyt... shyt got way out of control after that.. dudes were being introduced as god like fighters only to get knocked out a week later to someone who's power was incomprehensible ... only for that incomprehensible fighter to be destroyed a week later

but when pain blew up Konoha.... i thought there wouldn't be anyone stronger than him.. like even if they introduced a stronger fighter i still thought man pain would find a way ....

Pain flattening Konoha is the most moment in anime to me. For me it was equivalent to Scarlet Witches' "no more mutants" I mean dude damn near took out an entire city of elite fighters.

Absolute garbage series. Even the considerably better first half was just a generic shounen with a few cool quirks.

The animation in the anime is sometimes though.

 

[winb83]

Did Naruto ever get with Hinata? Because that's all I really care about at this point

I stopped caring about the show and manga not long after Shippuuden dropped

in shounen manga like this romance is never directly addressed. its left as a dangling plot thread to get people talking but they aren't gonna tackle it head on.

i prefer the One Piece approach to romance where they don't go there at all or if they do it's clearly a gag vs the Naruto approach of some weird unresolved semi-addressed love polygon (ie whatever the hell is going on between Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata)

I guess u missed the part where Godara spit out the two tools of the sage of six paths. I guarantee that plays a hand in his defeat; after sasuke gets revived and his powerup, he's gonna activate Hashirama's jutsu and bind Godara. Godara's is gonna lose control of the juubi and get sealed. My nikka black zetsu hittin them interception...Minato taking Ls, fastest shinobi my ass.

Oh so you just gonna ignore when Adolf Quincy straight bodied Captain Commander and sliced his face in half and cut into pieces. The other Captains getting washed and their bankais getting jacked. Ichigo practicing with the Zero Squad and the origin of his mother and father's relationship and how he's part quincy also (Ok I admit that is a bit much. Ichigo is a mut he's mixed with everything)
