Naruto

my God.

That's Naruto.

That's just wet rocks.

No, no, no.

spoil yeah

All right.

So yeah, Naruto and

Luffy is supposed to be duking it out.

Now, my advice, if you know what I'm saying, if these people need a more flexible schedule, why not have it a quarterly thing for all of the OGs? Why not have it that, for example, January to March, you get Hunter x Hunter.

April to June, you get Naruto.

July through September, you get Bleach.

I also want to caution and add in the fact that I don't necessarily believe that quarterly release schedules are the answer either.

It's not like it's going to be like, oh.

And at the same time, if they, you know, let's just say there's a series that the OG fans aren't really too fond of.

Then they just take that season off and come back when they're Bleach or they're Naruto or they're Hunter x Hunter or whatever the case may be.

is back Kubo clearly wants the Tagashi treatment I personally feel like it would have been just it would have reinvigorated the world and it would have been so much better for it to be an ongoing thing at the very least in the start it could have been he could have done the kaiju number eight approach of what was done in jump plus where maybe it starts off weekly he had like 10 chapters ready to go and then after that you could go every other week or a monthly bleach would be great him not wanting to do serialization is like He wants the Tagashi treatment.

Okay, number seven.

Can we talk for a second about Naruto's sexy jutsu? No.

You know about sexy jutsu? No.

he can turn into a sexy naked woman to distract his opponent.

All right, fine.

No, you don't need to.

Number six, also from Naruto,

his trainer, his master, Kakashi.

So like that could change and we're going to, you know, put in the thought in time into like, processing it so like that that could change but this is where we're at right now um but like to give it like really good praise the animation with it was leagues above season one um in my opinion like obviously they still have the similar vibe for the most part but like the stuff they did with like you know these memories of like the fire and stuff in the scenes where they had like the two-dimensional like animation like like the more basic like popping up in the scenes and like like all of those every time they did that that was super cool like i was like i was in awe of like watching that i was actually invested in his story because of the way they were doing the animation which by the way also he's sasuke i don't care i don't he he was confirmed to just be sasuke okay dude Dude like did a ninja run.

Naruto ran at one point in the story.

Like he's a lot more, he's got a lot more character than Sasuke, but other than like the voice, that's it.

Like everything else was really on point.

of a well-known manga or anime, I think.

At least not in the general public's idea compared to stuff like One Piece or Naruto or, you know, Dragon Ball or like the usual bigums that people get tattooed.

No, not yet, sadly.

I mean, I've seen you do some pretty niche stuff, though.

Mm-hmm.

And then just like in a video game world where like you say, I have the main quest.

Oh, a side quest opens up or like something else changes along the way where it's not like, for example, if you were to watch Naruto, his goal is always the same.

And that's completely fair.

Now we're losing poor legends.

And he voiced in anime such as Naruto One Piece, Skull Man, Bunny Drop, Pokemon X and Y, Fairytale, Black Clover, Sakamoto.

That's just a few of them.

So he has things under his belt.

Shonen Jump.

It's the 90s all over again.

We can see Ichigo, Luffy, and Naruto back in Shonen Jump again, potentially next year.

And then we can have...

I know that name gets thrown around a lot, so it's pretty in the mainstream now.

It's set in a high fantasy world, and I think that... predisposes you into expecting high octane action, right? You kind of walk into it thinking it's going to be like another Naruto or something like that, but it's surprisingly slow in the best of ways.

I think it makes you appreciate the concept of time as being finite and kind of stopping to smell the roses.

So I really like the contrast between that expectation and what you're shown.

I feel like those are all sort of similar topics.

Yeah, so the reason why I kind of linked them together is because I think a big shift in how the older generation of anime versus new generation of anime obviously, it's a commercialized thing, right.

But moving from the weekly releases of the one pieces and the Dragon Balls and the bleaches, right, or the Naruto's into the more seasonal, which you have season one, season two, etc.

And having that sort of break, because I think one piece was one of the last relics of that sort of continuous weekly sort of schedule.

whole time? Sort of.

I'm thinking of a guy from Naruto, he used

bone jutsu and it would grow his own bones out of it and like launch them as attacks and shit, that's just horrifying.

Baraka!

is Dragon Ball Z, right? Oh, yeah, this is

Naruto, right?

This is

Metal Alchemist, right?
