Anime catching up to manga super quickly

[Mister Pie]

For those of you who don't know, the anime is catching up with the manga at an extremely fast pace. Anybody know what's gonna happen at the end? Will the show just go on hiatus for a while or will they just put in a TON of filler episodes?

[Deblas]

anime catching up to anime. Don't you mean anime catching up to the manga.

EDIT: ohh, you changed it already. okay then

[Prof. Chaos]

Well reading the manga, I feel they are going to have to do some filler episodes.

[Terracosmo]

They need to do a filler adventure starring Sakon & Kimimaro

[Stoopider]

Probably some filler episode involving Naruto Sasuke and Sakura going on a mission into outer space.

Or the new Hokage. How she keeps her youthfulness! Drink the blood of young genins!

See what the Sandy people are doing in their hometown.

I heard rumours that there will be a mission with shino and his dad.

[Terracosmo]

That would be damn neat as well.

I hope not, next to Sakura I like him the least out of all the genins.

why? I can understand Sakura, but why Shino?

i came up with a math formula just now in the manga section to guess when the anime would catch up to the manga
feel free to point out any errors in my logic


First of all, the functions for anime and manga releases are the simple slope formula y=mx+b
the b variable is replaced with the # of episodes/chapters already out since last week
the m variable is 1, since only 1 episode/chapter is released per week
we also know that there are currently 122 anime episodes out, and 248 manga chapters out
and finally, we know that anime episode 122 corresponds with manga chapter 208

Anime:
122+t=A(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
A(t) = total # of anime episodes at week "t"

Manga:
248+t=M(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
M(t) = total # of manga chapters at week "t"

Ratio:
M(t) = A(t) * (208/122)
M(t) = A(t) * (104/61)


Next step is to combine these 3 functions into 1 function

first, since both Manga and Ratio functions are solved for M(t), we'll combine these:
248 + t = A(t) * (104/61)
(248 + t)(61/104) = A(t)

now that we have this solved for A(t), we can combine it with the Anime function:
(248 + t)(61/104) = 122 + t
(1891/13) + (61/104)t = 122 + t
(305/13) = t - (61/104)t
(305/13) = (43/104)t
t = 56.74 weeks

so there ya have it......at the rate its going, the anime will catch up to the manga in march of next year

[KameronFrye]

I'm a little confused by your formula there... does it mean that 56.74 weeks until it is caught up to this week's manga run or until it is hitting the same exact point as the manga is running?

As for the potential for a mission being Shino and his dad, I have two words to say:

Fuck Yes.

Shino's a bad ass, whether you want to accept it or not.

[Aeon]

I think the only reason why people think that Shino is badass is cause he has the whole dark and mysterious thing going on. If you seen one Shino fight you seen them all( Shino releases bugs, gets owned, before enemy gives him a death blow bugs pop up on the enemy body, Shino wins).

no, in 56 weeks the anime will be at the same point that the manga will be in 56 weeks

it would be about 23 weeks, i think, that the anime will reach where the last week's manga chapter is at

Well, sure, that was the point Shino was at when we last saw him. He can still pick up a few more tricks, and we haven't seen what his dad can do. Besides, it won't be hard to beat the last filler arc.

[Prof. Chaos]

You're formula is flawed, did you take into account the filler arc, those 6 episodes??? And it has always been about 1.5-3 manga issues per anime episode.

[Krbadass]

Don't ever do math at gotwoot again.

[kooshi]

Well, if they do try to make filler episodes, they better be good. Jeez, the last filler "saga" was TERRIBLE.

the filler arc is negligable
besides, back when i did the math during the chuunin exam, the rate was about 1.7 chapters per ep
which is the SAME as it is right now

so for over a year now, the ratio hasnt changed all that much regardless


whats wrong krb, intimidated? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[KitKat]

Assertn, although your formula is quite simplistic, it works as a fairly good model to come up with a rough estimate.

Btw, you have no idea how sexy you are when you are solving equations [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
