Today's Anime Death was Lame -___- (SPOILERS)

[UltraPain]

In my opinion Neji's death was portrayed even worse in the anime than how it was in the manga.

In today's episode he was hit by the attack off screen, and at least in the manga I could somewhat see his death coming. I also expected them to give him a much longer, more awesome last stand so that he'd go out like a hero, but that didn't happen either. :|

How do you guys feel about Neji's death in the anime?

R.I.P. Neji. Your death was terribly written (and animated)

 

[Sakura Bunny]

I am butthurt about it.

 

[FoxesInWonderland]

Hinata was standing over Naruto for like 5 damn minutes, did no-one just think to move him instead of just forming line waiting for someone to get hit?

Lol I noticed that too. She was standing there forever! She could have just started a rotation, or said "I'm out of chakra".

 

[Aoihime]

I cried...

 

[Chibiusa]

Wtf. It happened off screen? Seriously?

 

[UltraPain]

Wtf. It happened off screen? Seriously?

Yeah, for some strange reason. I'd encourage you to watch it.

 

[SIX PATHZ]

and that look of juubi is way disappointing.

 

[PhatBoyFresh]

Any death that had Utsusemi playing is a sad one.

Neji's death was poorly portrayed indeed. He's probably the most well-written supporting character in the Konoha 11, but I felt only apathy when he died. Other anime deaths (Jiraya, Minato, etc) actually invoked pathos, but Neji's failed at that completely. Also, I'm really disappointed how downplayed the Allied Forces HQ's destruction was. Shikaku, Inoichi, & Ao (3 supporting characters who had a huge impact on the tide of the war) die all at once, and there's barely any reaction among the other characters. It lacked drama completely. I was really looking forward to this episode, even though I knew what was gonna happen.

Complaints aside, it was pretty funny when Kiba said that he pissed himself after the ten-tails first bomb was released xD.

What do you mean lame ? It was amazing.

 

[Yellow Flash of Konoha]

I don't care he died, he was one of my favorite characters but I don't care, because more important thing than Neji is coming,
RIP Neji

 

[Yurei]

I didn't mind it too much, but I do think it happened too fast. Also, Shikaku's team's deaths also were too fast.

But I guess that since I already knew what was going to happen, I didn't care much for it.

 

[Cresee]

I feel the same, and the same goes for Shikaku and Inoichi.

 

[darkleonides]

it wasn't even sad its just like one of those what just happened moments
