I talked to my IRL friends today about Naruto (first time in a long time) and i asked how they felt about the manga now and the whole war arc? The answer was surprising, they said they dont read it anymore, and they stopped quite a while ago actually. I felt like i was very out of place, no one cared about naruto anymore. We ended up talking about other mangas and OVA's.

This got me thinking, has Naruto gotten that bad? I think i has acutally, i seems like Kishi is just slopping together something for every chapter now. Unlike my friends i will read the manga until the very end, just beacause i have been reading it for soooooo long and i want to see how it ends.
How about you? and your IRL friends?

Everyone has opinions. Just because It's not going your way, doesn't mean it's terrible. It's declined in quality tho, I'll give you that.

Ain't quitting at this time also my real friends are also reading it, maybe they didn't like war/juubi/madara's revival arc.

I don't think so. The people I know in real life are enthusiastic about it.

Real lifte friends? What else is there? Imaginary friends? Haha could've just simply stuck with "friends" instead of trying to over-identify it haha.

I have no complaints with the manga. Very entertaining. People talk of asspulls and plot holes, they just are not very good at comprehending things apparently.

Well imo its getting better. At times i feel im too old for naruto. Im kinda glad its almost done cus the great characters are gone. Anime/ mangas are childish to me. I just got back on naruto a year ago cus i saw naru to vs some guy named pain on youtube. Then i saw they had a manga( never knew lol). But i say naruto will forever be the greatest and should end.

I agree the manga used to seem more solid before. It's not terrible now tho... but it has become a bit sporadic in regards to consistency (yes i am one of the ones who feel kishi has included some major asspulls to the plot recently) however i am still interested to see how it is going to end.

That One Piece, Akame ga Kill, that Bleach though...
OT: It's declined, but i've invested a minute in it so might as well finish.

Man how in the hell do yall have friends that watch naruto? I have none:|. My friends are the complete opposite of the people on this forum. Thats prolly why i relate or get along with n***as on this site. In real iwouldnt seem like the type to read mangas and be on a forum talkin bout it. If u saw how i am in real life and how i act yall would prolly be surprised.

in my opinion, the manga is seeming less interesting because people know its almost near "the end"
all the characters are developed, most of the jutsus are repetitive. its almost pretty much predictable the outcome of certain situations.
my interested in Naruto greatly dropped and I only keep up with it outta curiosity. im hoping that after this saga they will bring a new age of ninjas such as konahamaru and hanabi along with other new genins to refresh the story and character developments
