regarding the narutards

[a_odessey]

has anyone else experienced the extreme stupidity and annoyance of stupid little 4-5th graders screaming about naruto wherever they go ever since cartoon network stuck it on toonami? cause at my new school, just recently, i noticed these weird kids looking on google video for gaara videos and naruto music videos and they're all like, "gaara's so sweet", or "i wish i was gaara". then i tell them naruto's being gay right now by giving us crappy fillers and that they should get into bleach instead but no.... "oh yeah? well your retarded! and i've seen bleach!",
"where."
"duh, on cartoon network."
but by then i'm already walking away. but seriously, anyone else seen any of these people?
or is it just me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

psssshhh, Gaara's a total nub compared to Lucy. If you dont know who Lucy is then you have to go watch Elfen Lied... or else.

[Sapphire]

Almost no one I know from school watches Naruto. XD

[Sapphire]

Lucy isn't great. Nana rules all.

[Mr Squiggles]

Well, In terms of killing machine, Lucy is better, but Nana is better overall, yes.

are you in elementary? You probably also did that when you were young. I still wish I could be like gaara.

"but seriously, anyone else seen any of these people?"

yes, you.

Sadly I have.. here on the forums and during my daily life

I just listen in and hear them predict things in the series.... and privately laugh to myself. Some of the ones I've heard have made me laugh out loud with them just staring at me. of course to them I'm a adult so it makes those stare even funnier to look at. One kid had the balls to tell me i didn't know anything about Naruto, I laughed and said "at the filler eps I'm on I could care-less, and anything I tell you would spoil the show for you kids"

I also find the now sitting at the store i get my paper-back manga from asking for those headbans and such. The store owner has had it with how much they ask for stuff that he now refuses to talk english to those that piss him off. These kids then ask me why I'm reading these to them "shity" mangas and get a "real" one like naruto. I fear these kids have no idea what the naruto manga looks like nor know what a manga is.

To sum up if your a kid, and don't know at least 90% about what you are talking about....don't talk to me

[Assertn]

I haven't.

But then again, everyone who lives in LA is in the age range of 21 - 35

[kooshi]

Thankfully, I go to university and away from little kids, so I don't have to put up with that shit. Regardless, I know that there are many kids like that. Gotta hate the arrogance from them. Kids should be beaten these days.... well, not severely, just a small amount for a punishment.

[Assertn]

I dunno.....I think it'd be kinda cool to have a bunch of little worshippers following your ungodly knowledge of Naruto.

[Mr Squiggles]

Thats just the thing Assertn, the brats are so full of themselves that they wont admit you know more than them.

Glad i'm in university.

[Terracosmo]

lmao @ wanting to be Gaara.

YARR I want to be hated insomniac with demon inside me to rape me mentally

...hey wait, I already am! Minus the demon part.

[nests]

Hey I think you forgot that this people are watching Naruto at a time where it really kicked ass so fillers dont matter to them.
as for noticing the polarity of it I have and quite a lot.
The other day I was outside my house working on my car when I noticed a couple of kids throwing paper triangles at each other I tough nothing of it until one kid yelled out Darn it I'm out of Kunai knifes. My actual actual reaction was WTF. so I stoped what I was doing on stood there watching to see what they would do next. Man! this kids kept throwing shit at eachother and screaming out the technique it was funny, they were about 6 or 7 years old so I guess is not that weird. I finally ask them what they were playing and they just screem out 'were playing Naruto!", with one kid adding I'm Sasuke, and one girl saying that she was Sakura I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I finally showed the little rascals the Naruto artbook that I had bought a while back and man did they go crazy. Now the freaking little bastards come up to me every time they see me to ask me questions about the anime, (its staring to annoy me).
I guess is cool that Naruto is getting really popular here too but it pains me that its no longer exclusive to the few people who have known about it for the past 4 years.

Oh yeah If you put Naruto and Bleach toghter with out the fillers I would pick Naruto every time

[masamuneehs]

I am in university as well, but as back home I live very close to the middle school and work on the main street I encounter all sorts of these people. However, honestly I don't think the Naruto craze is as bad as the Power Ranger one, when I was a kid (2nd grade or so) or the Pokemon one that I thankfully was too old to participate in. If Naruto was on TV , every week day, in a 3-5PM timeslot THEN we'd really be seeing the 'tards all over the place.

But, I also don't think their behaviour is that weird or unnatural. Seriously, who here didn't pretend they were their favorite TV/book/movie character when they were little?

As for them acting immature and seeming to know everything about the show (when they obviously don't) well, that is also pretty standard for most young kids. Wouldn't it be alot scarier if the tards were all on Gotwoot and IRC and were like mini Otakus? THAT would weird me out.

Oh, and I am surprised nobody has brought this up yet. People who say "I'm in university, that isn't a problem" haven't you encountered the POLAR OPPOSITE of the Narutard? I'm talking about the people who believe they have grown up and refuse to watch 'cartoons'. "What is this shit? You watching cartoons?" "Those shows are for little kids. But I love Smallville." "It must be for children, look, it's a cartoon!" You know what I'm talking about?

There are plenty of those people. Although I think most of them are like that because the only cartoons they ever saw were made for children, and on the other hand, they are so busy with other things that they simply wouldn't have time to become familiar with the whole scene. Generally speaking many people tend to scoff at things they know very little of, because that's a good way to justify the ignorance, and chances are the person knowing more of it won't pursue that subject any longer, in fear of appearing childish, and thus the ignorant one won't be proven ignorant in public. Those people are also heavily affected by peer pressure, and so their attitudes and opinions could also change quickly (of lack of opinions, to be more precise).

I think its funny how these little kids like to pretend that their Naruto and the gang. Personally, I havent met any at my middleschool who has an interest in this stuff. Really the only bad thing I hate about it is that it gives anime's a bad reputation and other people are like "oh, thats a kid cartoon" when Naruto is probably 1 million times better than the shit they watch. but ya, I think its funny. But jeez, 4th and 5th grade? How old are you odessy?

Oh, and who doesnt want to be a crazy sicopath with a demon inside himself that can kill anyone? I sure know that I wish I could be gaara. Or kakashi. Or Itachi. Or Orichimaru. Or naruto.*keeps going on*

Because your n00bmometer is going off the charts

One of my friends used to be one of them anti-anime/manga people who thought it was only for 7 year olds. Then I showed him the Hellsing manga. Now he knows better.
