Hi fellow friends and naruto lovers, i made a couple of threads where i criticized kishi and the current edo tensei arc. They got deleted... Before they got deleted i got plenty of positive replies, and even a bunch of postitve rep points. I know i'm new here at Narutobase, but i have been a part of the naruto community for 14 years, since it's beginning. First of all, let me explains something about myself.
I'm almost as old as kishi myself (a few years younger). I was in my early twenties (at university), so an adult when i first started reading naruto (as it was released). A few years earlier Dragonball Z ended (my favourite show before naruto). And i needed a new great show to read, naruto was my choice and i never regretted it. In the beginning a buddy of mine used to translate naruto for me (he spoke japanese). He even posted some fan translated manga cuts on early naruto forums hehe, ah, the good old days.
So shortly after we both became huge fans, even though the manga was "childish" in many ways, you could still tell it was real good quality and great writing form kishi. We where quickly addicted to the manga and i still am. The girlfriend of a close buddy of mine used to work as a GDA at shueisha before she moved to Sweden, she actually met kishi a couple of times, and she old us the he seemed like a humble and "down to earth" guy. So, when i criticize kishi i'm NOT attacking the person kishimoto, he of course is a brilliant writer, and creator of one of the best manga series EVER. I'm criticizing his recent sloppy writing, 99% of narutobase users agree with me that the edo tensei arc was a big mistake, and i bet even kishi agrees with us, but he is to deep into the arc now and he has to wrap it up, hopefully in a good way. We, the fans should be allowed to criticize kishi, anyone should, it's feedback. If you worship someone like kishi then he wont strive to improve and better the show, but rather rest on his laurels, and this in turn will make the writing and lazy. (i know beacause my profession is script-writing).
Anyway, i'm sorry to bore you with my story, at least you now know where i'm coming from when i criticize one of the greatest manga writes of all times. It comes from a lover and hardcore fan of the show, but also someone that demand quality, we the fans keep series like this alive, and we have the right to have our voices heard
