Naruto Shippuden: Anime to Run Character Shorts Starting Episode 480

There are people who still watch this?

>>148256933
Does anyone really care?

for what purpose

>1995+21
>people still watching this

But why?

>>148256933
As long as 479 gets us through 699, that's enough.

>>148257140
>>148257071
dunno but they gonna adapt novels starting from in late autumn/early winter

>>148256933
At least its slice of life filler and not the garbage low-quality villainy shit they dod

>>148257331
its been long time
how have you been?

Can't wait for the adaptation of chapter 700, where the final shot is NEO Konoha as the first ED theme plays.

And then we get Boruto, where the first OP is a shot-for-shot recreation of the first OP.

>>148257561
You're expecting too much. They just shoehorned in "need to be strong" in the fight. It didnt fit at all when they used it. lazy shits

>>148257561
What if they play ROCKS instead?

>>148257680
Again, would be acceptable with a shot-for-shot OP recreation.

Yes, it's better than shows like eva and legend of galactic hoes

>>148256933
>pretending that Naruto and Hinata had any kind of relationship before they were 12
>more of Sasuke being gay for Itachi
>more shit of Gaara we already saw

How can the people that made the past two episodes be like this?

I think that there are a lot of ways that Orochimaru could be a more sympathetic character - and have more in common with Naruto than is initially apparent:

>he was an orphan;
>Sarutobi may have cast himself as a substitute father/grandfather figure, who then failed the boy when he was most needed;
>he may have been treated like a pariah in the village (for his ophidian features and the sacrifices demanded by his summons/Kyuubi);
>he wanted to get stronger and learn a lot of jutsu;
>he wanted to be Hokage;
>he has been forced to fight his best friend/'rival'/teammate;
>he was nearly killed in a fight with an Uchiha;
>he has a 'teammate' who is an accomplished med-nin (by which I mean Kabuto/Sakura);
>the obvious Sannin/Team 7 analogies;
>he never fell for Tsunade's genjutsu;
>he has an unhealthy obsession with Uchiha Sasuke;
>he is one of the only two people to ever 'kiss' Sasuke (it does apply to both - and how creepy is that?);
>he has hidden skills/talents/abilities;
>he is proficient with a clone technique, and uses them to an annoying extent in battle (that is, in the opinion of his enemies);
>Minato had a major impact on his life (displacing him as Yondaime/using him as the Kyuubi jinchuuriki);
>Sandaime had a major negative impact on his life (choosing Minato/revealing the secret of the Kyuubi sealing);
>Danzō was keeping an eye on him (or vice versa, in Orochimaru's case);
>he has an interest in fuuinjutsu (a very personal interest, in Naruto's case);
>he has the ability to 'change' other people (using Cursed Seals, in Orochimaru's case);
>he tried to develop a radical new technique (risking great physical harm in the process);
>probably immortal;
>he shrugs off damage that would kill other people, and comes back without a scratch;
>he wore a 'mask' (ugh);
>he has been known to take the form of a woman on occasion;

>>148259215
>people are sometimes horrified and disgusted by the things he can swallow (What? I just mean the Earth scroll from the Chuunin Exams/ramen);
>the part Gaara played in the Sand-Sound Invasion had a major impact on his life;
>people complain about his taste in clothes;
>there's something 'different' about him, on the inside; this can manifest physically, when he is in a fight;
>he is not alone, inside his head;
>he was wanted by Akatsuki…

>>148256933

So basically it's going to revolve around the Kakashi Hokage era.

I don't see how they can get 20 episodes of that without stretching the fuck out of it, but cool I guess.

>>148259582
They are part 1 flashbacks

>>148258337
Fucking amateur, check em

>>148256933
Osamu Kobayashi is working on the episodes strangely enough, so that's reason to check them out. I expect these fillers to run for the season until winter where some of the novels will be adapted.

HAHA WHAT? FUCK PIERROT MAN

>>148258893

Look at you thinking its that simple. If you had a button that gave you money everytime you pressed it would you part with it? Even if that button created shitty anime? No! Money rules, rest obeys. Japan and rest of the western fandom eats naruto like no tommorrow and producers know that. Who cares if the anime is bad as long as the money is good

>It's not even the novels
>It's more actual fillers
Jesus fuck

Why

>people didn't expect this
>people actually thought Naruto would end

lmao

>>148260545
We thought they would adapt the rest of the novels that actually push the story forward.

Not go back to flashbacks of shit we've already seen.

>>148260545

Once pierrot is finished milking the Shippuuden cash cow to the last drop they will jump to the new Baruto cash cow and start milking that for couple decades more and we'll eat that shit because we are all tsundere for kishis bullshit and we love it.

>>148260645
The novel adaptations were confirmed for winter a while ago, this shouldn't be surprising.

>>148260645
They're adapting the Naruto Gaiden novels in Winter.

Should be enough content for 26 episodes, meaning we could potentially see the final chapter of the manga animated in summer 2017.

Potentially.

>no best boy novel adaption going into office
trash

>>148260802
I wonder which series will be replacing this when this is actually ended.

>>148260929
Boruto

>>148260995
There's nowhere near enough content for Boruto to even make a cour about. Especially seeing how the manga is still half-way adapting the movie.

>>148261600

by the time the current series ends boruto will probably have enough chapters to start the series. Remember the currentl serie might not end before summer time next year.

>>148258467
They're still making this? Nice

>>148260174
>Pierrot adds filler
>It's Kishi's fault
What?

>>148261874
It's a monthly series that is still recapping the movie.

>No filler explaining how best family unit came to be

My rage cannot be contained...

>>148261600
Anon, don't you understand? They're going to keep making filler UNTIL Boruto is ready to be adapted. At one chapter per month we're looking at roughly 2000 episodes of filler. Buckle up.

>>148256933
>From what we gather, they will be flashback fillers.
God damn it I was hoping for shit after The Last.

>>148256933
Who keeps buying Narushit?

How is this still going?

Who keeps giving these twats money?

A brain-damaged six year old raised in a dog cage would be able to tell this is shit.

A monkey banging its ass on a speak-and-spell could write better characters.

What retarded blobs of protoplasm are supporting this ungodly sin against the very concept of intelligence?

>>148263525
>How is this still going?

It's TV Tokyo's number one selling property. Naruto sells more than YGO, Pokemon, Yokai Watch and Gintama.

>>148256933
Fuck off narutards

>>148262603

oh boy this ride is endless is it not? Might aswell get comfortable.

>>148258467
it's way better than the ongoing canon series

>>148263606

Not to mention the western audience and their autism keep making it more and more popular and now that they are making a huge fuss about the anime reaching the climax of the story its getting even more recognition in the west. The location ''manga'' shop in my area allready hanging posters and shit about naruto and their merchandises.

>>148256933
If this was the route they were going to go, they could have at least animated chapter 700 first.

go discuss this on /r/anime, no self-respecting person would still watch this ancient garbage

Anyone else tired of all the Hinata shilling?

It feels like they realized that Naruto and Hinata had pretty much zero chemistry with each other, and now have to shoehorn a bunch of "childhood meetings" to justify their relationship.

>>148264119
It's to be expected from SP, but knowing them it will most likely be more Hinata stalking while Naruto is unaware of her presence.

I'm fine with them fleshing out the shit that happens between 699 and 700, but not this bullshit. Just fucking end it already

478 was gay as fuck. And I loved every minute of it.

Kakashi should've been the main character.

He was canonically the strongest fucking Hokage and ninja.

>>148264821
He can only pull off the shit in that webm while he is being possesed by the ghost of his dead boyfriend

Why'd they fuck Naruto's hairline up in Boruto? He's still handsome, but couldn't he take a break to see a barber or something?
