ok, so during my recent expodition to japan, i encountered a little hickup in my plans that rendered me speechless... just to clear things up, my plan was to buy more naruto merchandise than i caould fit in my suitcase...
The hickup was this; Naruto is not the most popular manga in japan, by far... the most popular manga, and i'm talking about this animae/ manga stuff being EVERYWHERE, is onepiece. a show about fricken pirates.
IMO naruto should reign supreme ruler of all manga and animae, but to the majority of people in japan, they like their manga with a little less ninja, and a little more pirate.
I am very upset and i know how much everyone on the internet cares so i just wanted to tell the whole of naruto base this encounter... i hope all of you are just as upset as me.
please leave a comment and comfort me, i'm suicidal over this topic.![]()
it is not surprising one piece even has chain stores devoted soly to one piece. my personal understanding is ninjas are nothing new to japan as to one piece incorperates many cultures and elements that make up the show which is not usually found in Japanese customs and comes off as refreshing in a sense.Not to mention everyone does have there own taste.plus marketing schemes are deployed they do not just send over just any anime they bring over the anime most likely to appeal to american which was one of the reasons naruto's hair is blonde kishi said it himself he made that way so americans would take a liken to it more.americans have all kinds of hair color since this country is founded on immigrants as to japanese usually all have dark hair
