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 😭
WHY DOES MY UNI COURSE MATERIAL HAVE CLOUD X SEPHIROTH YAOI IN IT
I love gay dragoons 🏳️🌈

Y’all
Pyotr’s voice actor for his singing voice has a white guy singing with a slight Japanese accent. I can’t link the song dance tonight but notice how he says words like call like carr.
Naruto is fucking insane bc as someone who's never actually watched the anime, I'll have just THE gayest shit pop up on my dash of Sasuke and Naruto, and when I go "oh hey nice edit, this looks really good" I FIND OUT ITS CANON OFFICIAL MEDIA DIRECTLY FROM THE ANIME??? Insane. How did they get away with that.
What I’ve been missing in my life
Naruto and sasuke still make me so insane like I already said this yesterday but few other relationships in fiction perfectly capture the gut wrenching heartbreak of having an intense homoerotic friendship and then having a messy falling out as teenagers
This is an old throwback to that one frame during their first final valley fight. The one the animators kept redrawing for some reason.
Anyway looking at Naruto’s expression, I can tell that all those years/episodes of putting his life/goals at the time on hold and most importantly the potential world building, plot, konoha 12 and almost everything part 1/classic Naruto set up hostage JUST so Naruto can chase his man was worth ALL the pain and hardships - that him and the viewers both endured over 15 years.
Despite some “opinions” that perhaps obsessing and chasing a guy who publicly was too proud to admit he was Naruto’s friend, may not had been worth the countless tears and blood shed, Naruto doesn’t give a fuck and clearly feels so giddy and euphoric - because at the end of the day, he mostly got what he wanted and that’s Sasuke with him.
Naruto’s new official art?!?!?
WOAH
Rebirth Date Spoilers part 2
Oh my gosh I can’t believe I made a post complaining about both sides cherry picking lines to support their ship and now that comment section is filled with people from both sides cherry picking lines AAAAAAAAA
COMPLAINING ABOUT IT DOESN’T MAKE IT GO AWAY REGARDLESS BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES WILL REITERATE THAT THEY THINK THEIR OPINION IS CORRECT IN A POST WHERE IM COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM
I’m not on anyone’s side!!! I literally got so annoyed that I got Yuffie as my date because I had a feeling that something would happen during either Aerith or Tifa’s dates.
BOTH CLOTIS AND CLERITHS: There is a love triangle! Stop trying to deny it because it’s very annoying. People just want to enjoy the golden saucer dates and honestly the last three chapters of rebirth without people cherry picking lines.
This game is a giant analogy for renewable resources and late stage capitalism but all the discussion outside gameplay or the multiverse has been about ships!
People can’t enjoy random things like character dialogue, story beats and side quests unless it has to do something with the two main DOUBLE heroines and love interests.
