  1. Unfortunately, they did leave an opening with:

    Lucy at the end with the grandfather clock

    But, I am not sure they could do Elfen Lied justice with a sequel. If they could, it would definitely be something they would need a minimum of 2 years to plot out, because to me it's right up there with the 3 top anime of all time.

  2. I sort of lol'ed at the frog suits when I saw that.

    Pointless novels? Gotta make a living somehow, besides Kakashi seems to really enjoy them.

    As for where was he when Tobi (it was not Madara) attacked Konoha... I was under the impression he was looking for his best friend Orochimaru. Could be wrong, but Jiraiya and Orochimaru parallel the struggle between Naruto and Sasuke. Only Jiraiya failed where as Naruto hasn't given up yet.

    You make interesting points, ah yes, I remember the correlation between Jiraiya/Orchimaru and Sasuke/Naruto. But even still, you get the feeling had he of been more prudent with his actions, instead of such a free spirit, that maybe, just maybe... the whole Sasuke event could have been avoided in the first place?

  3. I think Sasuke is too popular to be killed off, just go back and look at the popularity poll of the top 10 characters. What was he #2? Though that was quite awhile ago... Besides, if Sasuke dies, Naruto will having nothing to be butt hurt about, he needs something perplexing with his tiny attention span.

  4. I wish Orochimaru would come back, even though Kabuto is/has been an awesome villain through the series... still there's no comparison when it comes to who is cooler. Kabuto's motives seem a bit copy cliche to his master, though I suppose he's carrying on his heritage.

    I also agree with the majority on this thread that Orichimaru will not return. Unfortunate as it is, I just don't see Kabuto giving up all his power to become Orochi's henchmen again. Especially when he's been able to keep someone as powerful as the great Uchiha Madara under his thumb. His former master seems like small fries now..

  5. Yes there is reason, the ridiculous frog suit he made Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan wear before ditching them. And the time he wasted writing pointless novels (apart from Tail of the Gutsy Ninja). Also, where was he when Naruto's parents were getting ravaged and raped by Uchiha Madara? He was always off on some dumb quest when those around him needed him most.

    Sorry, felt like playing the devil's advocate, this thread is too agreeable. lolz

  6. Sorry to see you stop Irish, you were really good in my opinion (I would of given more feedback, but that's not really my place not being knowledgeable in the area myself) . Not sure if that means much coming from me either, I just like to draw casually (sketch/scan), and sometimes color with my tablet. Honestly though, I am glad to see this place is overly encouraging, I see no true progress in completely degrading someones work. I hope this place stays the Hallmark of nice people.

  7. I agree with certain things you said about literature and music (a few signs of life, but imo the majority has become bleak in creativity). Ideas are constantly being recycled as you said yourself. But I also think that statistics are collected and targeted toward a certain demographic, record labels financing the project know teens like the catchy high-pitch pretty boy tones, and produced it into the mainstream, where the public buys it like wildfire.

    Sports however were not always played for the soul purpose of money, I mean common? LeBron James has millions of dollars in endorsements already. Do you really think he loves/cares more about the game then his shams for publicity and prestige? Yes, professional athletes should earn money for playing, but should it be all about the paycheck? Of course there are those who do not receive nearly as much recognition (like the Olympics), but these are not the role models of this era. Think of players like Larry Bird/Magic Johnson/Julius Erving.

  8. Has our passion and creativity been lost over the past decade due to the our self indulgence and techno-logic conveniences (eg, IPOD, YouTube, Tablets, DVR)?

    For Example: Music

    Every rock song I hear from the lead vocalist nowadays sounds similar to this:

    In Sports, players like LeBron James and Dwayne Wade talk of their desire to win a championship, but not at the cost of their 100 million dollar contracts, when in reality they could of taken pay cuts and had a better supporting roster.

    Literature: if the best we have to offer today is shallow teenage romance that lasts about a millisecond and is aimed towards the EMO teens of twitter, we are in sad shape as a society:

    Movies: Can you name a good movie in the past 3 years?

  9. I have a bit of a shaking my leg, swaying back and forth rocking habit. Even when I was a baby in the crib, I would get up on my hands and knees and rock myself to sleep. The habit stuck with me for a long time, probably because my sister is disabled and she does it all the time, so I didn't want her to feel weird/bad about it.

  10. Itachi murders everyone "for the sake of the village" and his backup plan is to keep Sasuke on the path that Itachi chose for him by brainwashing him and stopping him from ever being able to decide what he wanted. Nobody is in the right here. Yeah, Sasuke's gone way off the deep end for the sake of trying to give his family some closure in the afterlife, but keep in mind that Itachi is the farthest thing from innocent here too. He's responsible for most of this, and didn't even bother to take any steps to protect Sasuke from Tobi aside from setting an Amaterasu Trap that he was probably pretty sure wasn't going to work.

    First of all, I am glad to see a poster who is as passionate on this forum as me. Over the weeks of reviewing Sasuke's stance in current times, he has every right to be pissed at "the illusion" he was trapped in. Having two of the people he should've been able to trust most, "his brother and the 3rd Hokage" blatantly lie to his face, and for no real valid reason? Why couldn't Itachi just flat out tell him the truth, he was attempting to protect his village so he had to leave and butcher those who were going to up-rise against the village? Instead he chose to disobey orders and let him live, when a much easier solution would of been to tell him the truth before he left?

    As for the Third Hokage, we are finding out that he kept many secrets from those who were closest to him, from Naruto and the truth of his parents, to Sasuke and his families slaughter. If the goal of the elite shinobi is to protect the youth, as explained in the episode where Shikamaru breaks down after Asuma's death, why withhold the truth from those who will inherit the future?

  11. o0o0o very nice! Well, Tristan sure got tore up, but was fortunate to survive in a bathroom stall. Wonderful in-depth descriptions, the beginning of your story reminded me of the plates of FFVII. I like how you eluded your main characters name until a later time.

    PS: I don't think it's necessary to stroke your ego :P (you know you're a bad-ass writer). Subscribe!
