Flags to determine what characters are gonna kick the bucket soon in an anime/manga where people die when they're killed:

-You're the main character's mentor? You're already dead.

-You're a cold character that mocks those around you for caring about others, but as the episodes progress you start developing feelings of your own and gaining emotions for the rest of your group? You're already dead.

-You're a shy secondary character that usually hangs on the background but starts gaining the courage to realize your feelings for somebody else and make a move on them? You're already dead.

-You're a non-human being that is usually isolated but now you're discovering a humanity of your own? You're already dead.

-You only joined the show mid-season? You're so fucking already dead.

Well, Naruto is finally over. Now to wait until the Anime also finishes and finally get it over with.

Which Anima? I think the Japanese dub is a year or two behind the Manga and hte English dub another two and a half behind on top of that. :p

Nice epilogue through. You get to see most of the hookups and kids, Bolt was spoiled years ago through.

Gotta milk that cash cow, brah.

But in all fairness, it's a new series and i won't be picking it up. So i don't really care either way.

The truth is, Naruto's universe isn't really all that interesting. Kishimoto has already explored almost all that he could about it, and i don't see the new series bringing anything if not more of what we already had.

BUT, people like new. And this series will probably become successful and attract all the children that weren't old enough to be around when Naruto first started all those years ago.

I'm 24 going on 25 now, and the truth is Shounen simply doesn't have the same appeal for me now as it did back in 06'. I stopped following Naruto back on 600~ or so, whatever chapter the Ninja War started, and i had stopped following the anime even earlier. But i followed it for so long that i knew when it ended i would go right back to reading it to find closure.

Amusingly enough, i didn't feel the same way about Bleach, simply because the end of the Aizen thing was enough closure for me that i don't feel any need to continue reading it past that point.

One Piece is the only Shounen that really gets my attention nowadays, and it's been nearly 3 months since i last saw an episode (i don't follow the manga). And unlike Naruto, i don't feel like it should end anytime soon.
