And may it finally rest in peace.

I'm still hoping for a Digimon season 2 trollerific ending of character pairings

Naruto X Temari ftw

 

[SportsDrink]

Naruto does end up with the girl with the Byakugan eyes.

Kaguya.

NarutoxKaguya.

 

[H-Man]

If Naruto is going to end, is the Naruto section going to end too?

NOOOO! It can't! I'll have nothing to live for! ... Except other anime, and manga, and porn, and tv, and movies, and comics, and novels, and... I'll just shut up now. >.>

Nah, if Ranma, Yu Yu Hakusho and Tenchi Muyo have a decent following even today, Naruto should be fine over the next couple of years.

But then again, 2 of those series listed were better than Naruto (IMO) and had the 90's nostalgia factor working for them, so who knows...?

Which of three do you think was better than Naruto? I'm partial to Tenchi and Hakusho was a fave of mine back in the day.

Haha, same here! I used to run home after school to watch the shit outta Hakusho (remember, this was before the days of internet streaming/torrents). YYH was just so damn action packed and shonen-y that I loved it. And Yusuke was everything I wanted in a protagonist. Unlike the current shonen titles. Out of the big 3 today, Luffy's the only one I like without reservation.

As for Tenchi? Well...the fanservice may have played a small part in me liking it :snigger:

And it's not like Ranma is bad, but I got into it waaay later than the other 2, so the effect isn't as pronounced.



To be honest, after almost 13 years of reading Naruto, I'm glad we're winding down. The series peaked a long time ago and it felt like even the author just said "fuck it" after a certain point.

Tenchi's fanservice was...unexpected for me but it did give it points. But that Kagato arc.. :cumdrool:

Reading your post makes me wanna watch Hakusho again. Loved the Smile Bomb OP and seeing the ass-kicking...man did I get screwed over when it was moved to 3am at night.

YuYu Hakusho and Tenchi Muyo! were some of my fav's as well. I got the TM OVA's and the first TV series off ebay, and their still in my collection over a decade later.

YYH was just a fun series. The art was a little... dated, I guess? But it was a great run. (That reminds me, I still need to pick up the last arc...)

The first series I really wanted to buy (and did) was Gundam Wing. It was my first exposure to Gundam, and it just blew my mind.

Hanabi.

NarutoxHanabi.

Fixed that for you :rofl:

 

[Sdebeli]

Sakura shows up and bitchslaps Sasuke, which ends the fight. Team 7 makes peace, Kakashi shows up with Icha Icha, and everyone goes away into the sunset. THE END.

 

[beorn91]

Lee frees himself from the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Beats Naruto and Sasuke, free everyone, win Sakura's hearth and convert the world to the Youth.
