NARUTO STANS I NEED YOUR HELP
I finished watching Naruto + Shippuden a few weeks ago and I’m so sad I put the show off for DECADES. I never watched it growing up despite watching a lot of anime and all my friends talking about it.
The only thing I knew about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and there was some bad guy with long hair.
Now that I’m into the fandom, I really wish I was in the loop while the show aired. Naruto seems to be forgotten by the general public and the fandom spaces seem really small. I vaguely heard all of the online discussion back in the day was on facebook or Naruto forums which are hard to access now.
I NEED THE KNOW THE TEA, EVERYONES THOUGHTS OF ANYTHING WHILE THE SHOW AIRED. Like what were the biggest theories, discussions, discourse, what did people think about the story, plot, characters, dub vs sub, anything. What were the community memes back in the day? What were peoples reactions to the arcs or major or minor plot lines.
Like what did people think about Sasuke ever changing outfits, or the five Kage summit arc, or the MEMES BACK IN THE DAY?!?!
I truly missed out and now no one really discusses this show outside of nostalgia because of Boruto. Oh also what did people feel about Boruto? And also the Naruto movies because there are like a dozen of them and the show aired for 15 years. What did people feel about the filler and flashbacks? How was the fandom like during anime cons or during the school yard/water cooler breaks with your workers if you were working when it aired?
Literally opening this discussion for word vomit and any and all thoughts.
IM JUST SO SAD AND HAPPY I WATCHED NARUTO AFTER IGNORING IT FOR SO LONG 😭
their burdened restraint and senses of duty have bewitched me
if anyone bothered to ask Cloud why his narrated flashbacks feature Sephiroth telling him he did a good job and looking into his eyes in slow-mo.
Random Orochimaru thought
Really like his character. Reminds me of the other mother/beldum from Coraline for some reason. Similar vibes I guess.
Controversial? takes on anime dubs. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin. There is a high chance comedies work better in a language I understand.
Code Geass Dub > Sub (watched the show dubbed first and didn’t care about it, rewatched it shortly after dubbed and it impacted me more)
Jujutsu Kaizen Dub > Sub (I don’t know why but the JJK sub is so ordinary to me, jokes don’t translate well/land well as much as the dub. Also really love dub Yuji)
Buddy Daddies Dub > Sub (dub Kazuki is a standout)
Seraph of the End Dub > Sub (only watched two episodes but the sub bothered me because the voices of the two main characters didn’t match so I switched over to dub and it was much better)
Sk8 Dub < Sub (I just don’t like dubbed Reki 😕)
Attack on Titan Dub < Sub (I feel like the sub is better at emotional moments that involve screaming)
WHY DOES MY UNI COURSE MATERIAL HAVE CLOUD X SEPHIROTH YAOI IN IT
How does Nagito know about the ancient ruins? He was not initially there when everyone gathered around it back in chapter 2 and they never brought it up until Chapter 5 when the remaining survivors were looking for the bombs. That point he had already hidden it there for a short bit.
INUYASHA STANS I NEED YOUR HELP
I vividly remember watching an inuyasha movie/really well animated long sequence where Inuyasha and a black hair girl who I assume is Kagome fighting someone who ice powers. Inuyasha gets trapped into a giant ice block. The ice block scatters and there is blood everywhere. Like it’s really graphic and low key traumatic for seven year old me. It’s heavily implied that Inuyasha died. BUT like 10-20 minutes later, Inuyasha comes back somehow and keeps fighting in this prolonged fight sequence with someone.
Is this a real thing that happened or did I just imagine it? I vividly remember that Inuyasha was the character because of his red robe, white hair and dog like features. I had seen his character design before seeing the sequence while channel surfing.
I have one friend who watched Inuyasha and is somewhat confident what I’m describing is from one of the movies or the OVAs.
Please help it’s been bothering me that I can’t find it 😭😭😭
Someone on his team needs to tell him that his shredded belt skirt isn’t working for him.
ALSO WHY DID HE WEAR HIS NORMAL BATTLE OUTFIT ON HIS BIG DAY?!? My man was out there during his whole ceremony wearing that?!?! Change it up man it’s your BIG DAY.
