U jux contradicted urself in the same post. Were they or were they not in competition?

Only Hanabi was.... Hinata sama wasn't interested in any competition... Hinata was interested in getting better

...

Naruto fans of this wonderful thread....who are your best and worst kind of anime characters.

Best character(s):

1. Calm and collected but without a too much serious face (nabunaga and killua of hunter x hunter, kisame and orochimaru come to mind)

2. Father figures that help the main character grow (jiraiya, albeit I wasn't impressed with how much he tot naruto for three years and the lady sensei of the elric brothers in fma: brotherhood comes to mind)

3. Characters who know their weakness and strengths and don't rush straight into battle...they are often called cowards cos they flee at the sight of overwhelming but I call them smart. But when in command the can organise even the weakess soldiers or fighters to beat a very strong bad guy who otherwise wud've had no problem killing them individually. ( No brainer...shikamaru, killua and hoeheim *fma: brotherhood* come to mind)

Main characters that are very jolly, funny, silly yet can take on bad guys. However these bad guys also show a side of weakness, be it psychological or physical, showcasing their human nature (aang of avatar: the last airbender, spike spiegel of cowboy beopop, maybe L of deathnote come to mind)

Worst character(s)

Feeble and weak supporting female characters who continually cling on to the main character for saving when she herself has the ability to improve and stand on her own. ( Almost all the women in narutoverse except konan and sasori's grandma)

Main characters who always scream friendship friendship and family loved ones, all that bull. Also that they never learn from battle experience and keep getting beaten by weaker opponents even after winning against stronger ones. (Naruto, luppi, ichigo, the fairy tail guy forgotten his name all those guys come to mind)

Too cool character that are waaay too smug and seem to win fights even if they do so convincingly most of the tyms. It's the way they do it that makes it very annoying...even against very strong opponents they never seem to break a sweat ( itachi to a small extent, hisoka sasuke byakuya, roroanoa zorro to a small extent come to mind)

Seemly smart characters with glasses on the always shift them back..ffs get contact lenses if u can't keep those glass on ur face. (Uryuu of bleach and kabuto come to mind)

Lastly I hate characters with major character obsession. Most of the tym these characters are interesting cos they are mischievious and also their fighting styles are great. But always with the major character obsession which make them come across as perverts. ( Hisoka and orchimaru come to mind)

What's yours everyone?

Well I believe they were. Hanabi saw her sister's inability to master her art as an opportunity to take her inheritance from her...even if only to please her father as well. Hinata had given up cos she was no gud until she met naruto and she picked herself up to gain the upper hand. So intially hinata cudn't compete cos tried as she did, she was jux not that gud. Buh she picked herself up with a lil motivation and boom she was back to competing (yes the inheritance may have not been the main reason for her picking up, nevertheless she inevitably found herself back in the competition. So in a way u're not wrong....but hinata did compete as well cos she kept comparing herself to neji nd hanabi.

Superb summary of bleach

I've not been able to go back since the soul society invasion arc...

But grimmjow vs ichigo was cool

Ulquiorra....too goth

Omo see Kimco summary of bleach lool. Too on point.

I actually thought bleach had ended with the full bringer arc and I just stopped watching it out of respect.

I just can't wait for the naruto movie, finally some romance. Does anyone know where I can download these animes via pc?

Grimmjow's defeat was horrible. He basically stood dere listening to ichigo's talkkai (talk no justu) and got stabbed in the process....from the front....at a snail's pace. Simply amazing. Ulquiorra's was also trash.

The grimmjow fight was epic
The ending not so much
The worst was byakuya vs sonido Lord

kimco:


Well weldone....more power to u. May the lord grant u a crazy amount of endurance. Infact anyone who can watch one piece, bleach and fairytail has an insane amount of endurance or simply likes stories where the good guys win because of their nakama. Not that their friends actually help in team raping the bad guy. No! Jux stating that they have friends they care about and telling the bad guy he's full of crap because he has no friends is enough to gain powers straight from the mangaka's arze and win the day. Lesson of the day....why train when proclaiming the undying bond of friendship is enuff to win almost every battle u're faced with. Jux go about and make friends...create that bond and always remember them in ur fights. Trust me, u'll always win.

Reminds me of the movie "you got served" where they won cos they were dedicating their dance to lil saint. So magically the bad guys weren't as gud as they used to be. Power of friendship y'all.

Even naruto used the power of friendship in his battle against obito (with kakashi emphasizing that the difference between obito & naruto was having friends), madara, nagato,etc....my brother, every manga talks about friendship whether such friends help you in battle or not, the most important thing behind every mangaka is the message of BOND subdivided into love,kindness,friendship,union,etc
N.b. whether a protagonist's friends help him in battle or not, whether he remembers them during battle or not, etc I don't' see reason why that should stop such protagonist from going through one form of training or the other....that point no get head to me sha

Those looking for a new manga to read. Check out Battle Royale. It's insane!!!!


Warning: The gore is something else.

I'm getting a nakama overload. Fairy tale is decent, but haba. They need to tune down this nakama Crap. Luffy self no take am this hard.

Pls any naruto like manga/anime recommendation? Not one piece, not Bleach. The first 6 episodes of bleach made me lose interest.

You're actually assuming I like that about naruto, I don't. Ask around. I don't mind the bond between characters...samurai shamploo had it. But that did not rule the whole manga like naruto, bleach, one piece and fairy tail. When the bond is verbally stated all the tym and used to gain power from God knows where, then it's a problem. Even hunter x hunter does it well. No overstatement of friendship and love and bla bla bla. Jux cos it's generally used doesn't make it right.

Last airbender is a clear eg of a very fun, non cheezy anime. The bond is assumed, not stated every 5mins

Actually try to go pass the first episodes and make sure to end after the arrancar arc. That's when bleach was great. Hunter x hunter is good too. Full metal alchemist is great as well. Code geas. Samurai shamploo.

Fairy tail is the worst. Buh u shud see kill la kill. U'll definitely know what trash is.

Naruto will murder eren jaeger

Jaeger wet them use kick commot him head.. just a tail will do the the work.

Don't forget that Jaeger can grow that head back....

I gave Bleach benefit of the doubt because I expect something better than the Aizen arc. Since the Aizen arc, it's really been downhill but I tend to read stories different than most people. I jump scenes and whole acts to find conflicts and resolutions. The buildup to them is generally boring and tedious reading.

That's how I look at Bleach. It's currently quite tasteless. Haven't read it in months now. But I keep expecting it to get good again. I mean, it's the Soul King's palace that's being attacked. That's gotta prove better than Aizen. Plus, Ichigo is supposed to be even stronger now than when he attained Mugetsu.

That's if the tail didn't hit him during the decapitation. He doesn't know how to harden his skin sef. so he is a goner

this shit ain't serious at all.
Naruto will rape that dude black/blue.
I don't think you realize that naruto "Destructive Capacity" is capable of distroying moon?

Take a look at naruto vs juudara, when madara summoned meteors that are bigger than earth's moon. Naruto single handedly destroyed 85% of them with his BijuuDama

For one reason or the other, I never really got into that manga...It felt very unemotional.

Even avatar Aang before final battle remembered his friends when he wasn't thinking straight.....the same can be said of the current avatar. Also have at the back of your mind that the Avatar series is a short one unlike the Japanese counterparts.

n.b The Japanese culture (although they have imbibed the American way of life) emphasizes more on friendship unlike the powerhouse America that only like to showcase "Superman" in all their spheres of life e.g. 24, Nikita, Homeland, Superman, Batman, Rambo, Commando, Steven seiger, Duff lundren, Norris, etc

wat dude like I said.....it's mostly implied not stated all the tym. not all Japanese anime have the over bearing friendship theme. it's cheezy. also most anime have the same length as the last air bender. btw I don't watch the new one so I can't comment on it. the bond is great when it's not mentioned everytym. don't defend this. it can be toned down abit.

It's why I like it. A cut away from normal japanese manga (over) emotional themes

Guy really? Bigger than the earth's moon? And still managed to land on a single landscape?
