Is anyone becoming bored with Naruto?

Of course its frustrating when you have to wait an entire week, but at least for me it's not boring... I'm enjoying the manga's pace, or at least I enjoyed the past few chapters. It should pick up soon anyway, I don't think they'll be able to meet with the messenger and not fight him at least a little.

that's probably a good point. i remember reading parts of the sakura/sasori fight in bulk and thinking, "hey, you know what? this fight's not that bad" mainly b/c i was reading 3 or 4 chapters in a row w/o that one-week wait-o-torture.

but i still stand by my current position on the manga from my previous post. and i'm in the habit now of downloading 3 or 4 naruto chapters at a time. which is why i've practically stopped posting in the naruto boards here in gotwoot.

yes its boring. what else is there to do? watch/read bleach!

[Winged Dancer]

Informative and utomst cooperative post such as the one above are what convince me not to read Bleach. And leave that unaswered please, I'll read it once I'm done reading other much more worth-while things.

I think this arc should move things along, rather nicely. You said a few fights won't change anything new characters won't change anything, etc. So then what you're looking for is anything that will advance the main story? This should be an arc that does that. They're on a mission to find a spy who should have information about Orochimaru and Akatsuki. Sasuke is with Orochimaru. At the very least, this arc will set up another arc in which Sasuke can be reintroduced. Perhaps we'll also get more information about Akatsuki's goals. This should advance things in the way I think you want them to.

You're right. This arc is necessary, and I think it will be pretty good. I haven't felt like downloading it lately, which isa change, which is probably delaying me picking up more interest Perhaps I'll be more into it in a week or so. It could be I'm just distracted with other things right now.
Bleach is pretty good for what I've seen. I haven't read the mangas. One Piece is a lot of fun. Maybe when I finish watching one piece, I'll go back to Naruto. I should have a good stretch of animes and mangas to enjoy by then. Right now though, I think I'll have a shower and go for a slurpee or something..

If the spy is kabuto, I'm gonna shit my pants.

Best way to keep any manga from getting boring is to wait until an entire volume is released or until you have a stock pile of chapters to read. In my opinion most manga's seem to drag more reading one chapter a week then reading alot of chapters back to back.

AMEN! Yes, im a little bored, and until Naruto becomes uber interesting again im gonna read the chapters by 10.

[LobsterMagnet]

Waiting for 10 chapters and reading them all at once is probably the smartest thing to do to get your naruto fix. But dammit If can get it now as opposed to latter I'll fricking take it! I'm an impatient son of a bitch and I'd rather get something sooner as opposed to waiting for it.

[mage]

if you wait a few weeks to read chapters by the tens, you just end up missing out on all the discussions, which IMO are funner than reading the manga.

[Hakeem_21]

It goes up and down for me and lately its down. Not cause the story is taking time to build up,it just that the new characters arent anything special I dont even think about Naruto anymore,i download it when i see it in baka-updates manga trying to download other mangas.

The last great chapter was when the fight beteween Naruto and Sasuke ended.

[Death BOO Z]

wow, an entire topic dedicated to bitching about naruto, it's ought to be fun...

anyway, though i've been saying this almost since i've joined the forum three years ago, i think the series is going down..
now, it might be that during the time since i've started reading naruto (one of my first mangas) up to this day my standarts have changed, but i still enjoy (to somewhat level) the earlier parts of the manga, but so far, it seems that it has become so cliched,,,
we've seen all the genin teams (not genins) appearing exactly in the same structure as we left them, only older. some people might say that he is reintroducing old charecters, and i agree, but that's all he's done, just gave them a reason to power up so they could gang up on some 'run-of-the-mill' mini-boss and clear the way for naruto to fight. we haven't seen a single real change in them. it isn't progress, it's a standstill.

as for the new charecters, as much as i like yamato, i know that as a charecter, he completly stinks, just a meat bag with no real flavour to support him. and lets not even start talking about Sai, last time saying penis was funny was when i graduated from elementry school.. besides, a charecter with no real personna? been there, done that, the whole bisho-fucks trend should have ended with Haku, give me a charecter with real attachments to life, not some pussy who cries about his missing brother/mother/heart/feelings/facial expression...

oh, crap, no matter how much I try to explain, mere descripetions cannot compare to saying something as simple as :"I've grown fucking tired of Naruto, I don't really take much intrest in it anymore"


1 life, 2 short, 3 years, 4 what?

[Hotsuma]

This will make Naruto fun again, guys.



As for myself, I stopped reading and watching Naruto altogether months ago. And even during that period of time, I felt myself losing more and more interest. Especially after he grew up. Still, I like to stop by here every so often and give you stuff like above pic.

[LobsterMagnet]

Have to wonder if the whole sai penis thing is some sort of misguided attempt to make naruto edgy. Just watch, all of you cynics! Just watch! When the sasori fight is animated you'll all come graveling back begging for more once the anime team redeems themselves threefold by not only bringing to life a kick-ass fight that'll put the rock lee fight to shame but also adding in Sasori's much needed backstory that kishimoto kinda forgot about. Then again that's what I tried to tell myself during the first filler arc with the stupid super zombie composed of dead filler characters. Then I think a bit of me died inside when I saw Tiger mizuki with the increadible stupid brothers. But hey it could happen, right, maybe? The anime team might be able to redeem itself.

Eh who am I kidding alot of the things that made me ove naruto in the first place seem to have been forgotten. Especially in the whole time jump. It opened so strongly too with the whole kidnapping of Garra but I'm in too deep now. I'll keep reading and watching mostly out of habit. After spending so much time on the naruto ride probably not getting off until I see where it all ends.

[shinta|hikari]

im just really disappointed so far as to how weak naruto still is. after 3 years of training, youd think from his previous pattern of learning skills at a genius level of speed, hed be like a hokage level ninja by now, at least tsunades hokage level, which seems quite low.

[Psyke]

Haha! That pic rocks. For me, I'm still pretty much excited by new Naruto episodes. Although it isn't nearly as interesting as the first few episodes where it introduces the characters and the setting, it's still full of surprizes as well as interesting moves/jutsus. No big complaints for me as far as the manga is concerned. As for the fillers, I'd rather forget about them asap.

[TwisT]

Well i think it has been boring now for a while. At least in comparison with how it used to be. But it's still good enough to read. But it ain't like before when i wanted the raw when it was just released or aired. Now i can wait. Often i get it several days after the translation has been released. The anime is being ruined by all the fillers and the manga but stuff that i hate. For example, Sasori getting beat by Sakura and the old woman. If those two could beat up Sasori, Naruto & Co be able to beat up Oro and Kabuto with ease.

I hope they bring in some more of that Akutski-action again. But this time make it harder. Have at least a whole team fight one of them. And i want to see some pawnage from Akutski. That is what makes them so badass.

Instead i feel Bleach and One Piece has taken over completely. Bleach has a great pace with action and One Piece also has much action and tons of comedy. One Piece can even have comedy in there main fights. I really hope Naruto can get as intresting as it was before.

nooo waaay. How the fuck can you guys be sick of Naruto?I mean i can take a break and watch OP,...but C'MON! People need to see something more in this anime and even if you don't........who THE FUCK CAARES!?! When my friend introduced me to it, i asked him what is it about? he replied "ninjas flipping out and killing people with powers", and thats all i needed to know. From that point on i've loved it and the only one i really like even close is OP(one piece) and for the guy who said i'm getting sick of Yamato building houses and hotels...dude thats a huuge burn on my part bc the Shodaime was my favorite hokage...like ever. And he's strong, real strong and the team finally got a new leader with a real cool guy who knows what he's doing. BE HAPPY! ENJOY! thats all i have to say thankyou AssertNFailure.

I agree fully with this.

However, the prospect of seeing Deidara animated is keeping my Naruto interest high. Even though there's 3 months to go...

[Jaredster]

I'm just tired of these breaks Kishimoto takes. It's been 2 weeks already.

[dantheman62]

i love how you guys just keep burning and putting Kishimoto down for not giving it to us on time. I think this next chapter will be great no matter what. I mean orochimaru is back people cmon. We all know that when he comes back its going to be great.
