The other 10 chapters were completely random and absolutely nothing was accomplished. Quote:

It's like those beer or wine experts who expend lots of energy (and words that even a dictionary doesn't know) analyzing such drinks, they make magazines, websites, tv shows... but in the end, most people just open the bottle, drink it and is fine with it because they were thirsty. Quote:

You have to understand the target audience is someone who is half your age. Little kids to early teens, not people in their 20s or 30s. if someone form our age group buy their stuff great, but if they don't that is fine too as long as their target age group keep buying.

Second, I think I know what logic you're going for here, but the only way I'll accept it is if people acknowledge that Naruto is a lousy series and the only reaon they read/watch it is for the cheese value of it being so lousy. That's pretty much why I read it. |

For example Hitler had his hitlerjugend that had children brainwashed and used for war purposes. Danzou's root was very similar, he brainwashed children like Sai and used them as mere tools in his plans to become hokage. Now that i mentioned this similarity between Danzou and Hitler i remember that someone here on the forums called Sasuke's MS eye the jew eye, Danzou wanted to exterminate the Uchiha the same way Hitler wanted to exterminate the jews |

Which, incidently happened between "Everyone just ran around doing random things without any real depth or emotion." and "then Pain levels the village and no one seems to care that much."
Contrary to what you're saying... Quote:
Plenty of people found the seemingly invincible village reduced to rubble by a one man army as a massive twist. Plenty of people saw Kakashi being killed by Pain as very emotional. Plenty people found Naruto's return very epic (which wouldn't have been epic had we not been given 10 whole chapters on just how dire the situation was). I find it extremely hard to believe a villian invading a village and making everything chaotic and the village fighting back is something "completely random and absolutely nothing was accomplished". Plenty happened. You just didn't care. Don't blame it on the story. Blame it on yourself. Quote:
No it doesn't. It indicates that all you gave was an opinion with no actual reason behind it. All you've done is say "This has terrible pacing. That was completely irrelevant". You haven't actually given any reason why, and the reasons you do give are completely baffling because you say it as if it's objective fact and not just your perspective (which it blatantly is).

First off I think we all need to take a step back and breath for a minute.
Yes this is a manga and therefore does require some criticism as a work of art and a written story. But there are always people who are gonna think that its perfect witch nothing is, and there are always gonna be people that think it is a horrible piece of trash; while true fans have the ability to see something they like and ignore some of the bad things just for that one reason. So really if you need to bash on Kishi and his work of art then your just not a true fan if a fan at all and why don't you just stop posting here because nothing you say will effect the true fans because we all know kishi's weakness' and we do not want any one pointing them out. You may call it ignorance but we just do not care. Why don't you just spend your time posting on a thread of an anime or manga you enjoy and stop ruining the fun for everyone else. |

I'm talking about the stuff that happened before Naruto arrived. Quote:

And what was up with him having a campfire with his dad? That went nowhere and was totally pointless. Quote:

Thing is, some of these things may have had something of an emotional reaction from me (particularly Shizune's death) but the end of the arc ruined. This is actually a common trend of Kishi's writing is that he actually makes some pretty good setups, but then he completely fumbles it because he can't write the story or characters worth a damn. It's sad, actually, because this was a perfect opportunity for the supporting cast to really show their stuff and have some one-on-one fights with the different Pain bodies. Quote:

And honestly, Kishimoto hasn't given his C-list characters the time of day in 400+ chapters, so I am unclear why anyone still harks on this issue. It is clearly not something Kishimoto or his editors are interested in, so it is a non-issue to the story, and consequently an unimportant complaint. That being said, move on. I've already said this is off topic (and now cyclical), and I will not say it again. Move on. (This goes for all.) |

And I don't get why that guy spends so much time arguing over this series when he basically hates everything about it. If I thought a series was so bad, I would stop reading it and go discuss about something I like. |
