Apocalyptic Disaster Stir Fried Muffin Apocalyptic Disaster Stir Fried Muffin LOL Cartoon Network is FREAKING out.. too much Naruto is freezing up their broadcast system *dies laughing* Really though? They better fix it... STAT! I liked Naruto when it wasn't popular. :/ Not so much now. >___>;; You see more cosplays of Naruto characters than anything else now. D; Horrible; it annoys me. :/ I was reading Berserk today. 8D I love that series. <3 Heh. I know what you mean. I was into it before it was even RUMORED that it was going to be translated into english.. i got to like.. some two hundred episodes. and i loved it.. but then it got all trendy, as you said. Lol. Seriously, same here. I hate how things get so popular. :/ I was up there as well, but then I stopped reading/watching the series because everyone got so obsessed with the whole thing. rolleyes and a lot of the naruto cosplayers are just HORRIBLE... oh dear god.

Secret Duckie Lauz Secret Duckie Does everyone here love Naruto?
 I don't love it. But that's only because I've never watched it before. Dare I say...
I think I might be the only person on Gaia that thinks it's ridiculous.
For the fact that it's bad writing, but the biggest reason is the blatant disregard for REAL Japanese culture.
When ninjas were actually around they were hated!! They were bad guys! They were completely shunned in society! The Japanese [at least when they were still Japanese, rather than a bunch of wanna-be Americans [[and I'm generalizing here, on Tokyo, mostly]]] were all about honor and pride, and there was nothing more dishonorable and shameful than to attack your enemy when their back was turned. And that's what the ninja's did. They were assassins. They did the evil deeds behind closed doors of Japanese society for money. There was no honor in being a ninja, but shame and isolation. They were so 'sneaky' because they had to be sneaky. They were no longer people, but disgusting, dishonorable filth.
So making it this big freakin' thing that they're so cool is rediculous. The person who assassinated Abe Lincoln wasn't cool. And ninjas are even more shameful than he was. At least he actually showed himself before he killed him.
I don't like Naruto either.. but my argument is mainly that I don't enjoy watching that type of Anime. The argument that it is nothing like "real japanese culture" is slightly ridiculous imo. Especially considering the fact that ITS A CARTOON. I am pretty sure that not many people pick up Marvel comics and expect exact replicas of what "American culture" really is. Its an exaggerated media just like anime is. I can see your argument.. but for crying out loud my friend the entirety of Naruto is fantasy.. not reality. When you are dealing with mediums that coincide..perhaps your argument will stand some ground.. until then.. its like saying "zomg Powerpuff Girls is TOTALLY NOT WHAT AMERICA IS LIEK!!one1!"
