lemmingllama Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I honestly laughed my head off when I saw this. As cool as Lee is, I dont think that he could have a really solid series unless it was nothing but bad jokes. This will probably become super popular because its a Naruto thing and the hosts of fans will watch it, but it wont compare to the actual series and will probably insure that Lee gets even less screen time in the actual show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I don't think it's going to be a full fledged long running series. Likely it's going to be an OVA or a couple OVA episodes. At most it might end up a one-cour (12 episode) spin-off, but I don't see it going any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If this was a full series you'd see popularity for it just drop off a cliff after something like 12 episodes with Lee being a main character. Don't get me wrong, I like him, and they could do some bad-ass things with an OVA series with him in it, but the director don't know squat if he turns it into a full series. Though I don't actually know anything about the manga spinoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well the spin-off manga is a gag comedy not meant to be taken serious anyhow. Kind of in the same vein as Gintama only more childish I think. Which is why I honestly don't see it being much more than an OVA or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really into gag manga or anime for that matter, so wont be watching it. Where did all the good, short OVA series anime go anyway? Seems they all ended 5, 6 years ago....
