I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way on the base

[SusanooKyuubi]

Before I say anything, I get it. I get that a lot of people on the base are crushed, angry, confused, etc, ever since the recent developments in the manga (and its obvious these feelings have been around since the manga started up for the year in Jan.) but the strange and funny thing is, I really don't give a damn. Its obvious Kishimoto is taking a different path with the manga and hell, that doesn't mean its bad or anything, so long as he doesn't half-a** the rest of the story and puts out a good or at least decent product.

Another thing that feel for some reason is that some people are overly attached to the series. I've been following this series since it came out on Toonami almost ten years ago. But I find it strange when many members of the base cannot look at a part of the story and think critically about it and criticize it (and I agree there is a few things to criticize about the latest chapter).

I don't get the extreme attachment people have to fictional works of art, not to Naruto, not to AoT, not to DBZ, not even to FMA or even Geass. If Naruto went south in story-telling from here on out, I would not have a rage-fit on the base, I would go, "Well, it was great while it lasted." and move on to another series. If AoT became terrible in the near future, I would just move on.

So, a question, am I really the only one on the base who feels this way?

EDIT: Whoops my bad, I meant to put a few instead of a lot at the end of the first paragraph XD

That started off bashy but went in a different direction. I agree with you

 

[hixa kuogame]

What is there to criticize about last chapter?
Its very easy to manipulate something very good into something negative and I feel like that's what most of these "critics" are actually doing.

 

[dark legion]

i wont bother myself to read , but know this "I don't feel the same "

 

[Gagster]

Well good for you. And to answer your question, yes. You are a special snowflake and are oh so unique.

 

[Mikeuhsomething36]

Fans be like kishimoto be like :snick:

The plebeians of this website lack basic cognitive functions, as it's reputation clearly conveys. It's no wonder this place is widely considered the 4chan of all Naruto type boards. It's absolutely laughable.

But that's EXACTLY what keeps me coming back. I come here to read the inane and impetuous thoughts of Narutobase. They make me smile and chuckle on how outlandish and, frankly, stupid they can be. If you want serious discussion on this series, there's several better options. This forum is a haven for trolls, butthurt fanboys, and whiners with nothing better to do.

OP: The fanbase is always bashing on Kishi and the manga. Saying its gone to shit but they still read the next chapter :leaf:

Ad hominen attacks are a sign of someone who is childish.Maybe you should'nt make generalizations next time?

Again with the generalizations.....the vocal few does not make a fanbase.

Ad homen attacks are a sigh of someone who is childish.

It's not ad hominem when it's true, which is mostly is. It's easy to name off the trolls, crazed fanboys, and haters on this site, but how many legit theorists are there? How many threads in this section have decent conversation or constructive criticism?

It's a lot of hatred for Kishi, wank for Naruto/Itachi/Sasuke, and the occasional "favorite character" thread. That dude may have been harsh, but he's got a point.

But you're not alone, OP. I think a lot of people feel that way.

He practically insulted a entire website community and compared it to 4chan of all places just because of a vocal minority.

Sorry but I don't think he has a point besides some people can't help but come off as jackasses.

 

[Zen Uchiha]

people take this shit seriously bruh

 

[MyotaHime]

I'm definitely one of those people that are emotionally attached to Naruto as a series, and it's characters. Though it seems silly to a lot of people, I like really getting into a show; first DBZ and then Naruto and after this who knows what the 'next long series' will be (AoT?)
Speaking for myself, it's fun to have this drama Naruto brings, since my real life isn't very drama-filled (thank goodness). Some people like wrestling, some like novellas (soap operas) some like housewives of whatever, Naruto just happens my drug of choice! :O Good point to bring up SusanooKyuubi, I wonder why humans are so drawn to drama in one form or another?

Probaly because we like to belong,it's the reason sites like this one exist afterall.

People on Narutobase overreact to the manga and its characters, for instance the latest chapter wasn't perfect but some people are going overboard claiming that the manga is garbage.

Some people are a little too attached to the manga as you said.
