Some stills from Makoto Shinkai's upcoming film Weathering with You:  Looks exactly like a Shinkai movie, which is to say that it's stunningly beautiful

Been watching the Pokémon Sword/Shield anime and this may have been happening before but whenever someone catches a Pokémon the Pokédex (or Rotom or whatever it is) says "good" or "excellent" like it

It goes without saying there's a lot more to be revealed. Like you say Obito couldn't have fought Minato. My thinking is that someone like Madara rescued Obito and trained him like an apprentice. And it was Madara who faced Minato.

 

 

Can't wait for next weeks issue.

 

Yeah, that seems to be the theory going around at the moment and to be honest it's the only plausible one. If it turns out that it was actually HIM fighting Minato then Kishi has officially lost it.

Then how come he seemed to be a fully grown adult when fighting Minato during the 9 tailed beast attack on the village. Also, how the hell did he hold his own against Minato? He was only 13 when he "died" so in a year he healed, grew up and somehow gained all these new jutsu.

 

I was thinking it was a year but was it? They finished the rest of the war and Minato had become Hokage. How long was he Hokage for and how long did the war continue for? Even if it was 4 years it's a bit unbelievable since Obito sucked, and I'm not sure how quickly Rin died. He's probably upset about that.

Yeah, it was a year as far as I know.

 

Here's some more stuff that doesn't make sense. Itachi planted a trap in the Sharigan if Sasuke ever came into contact with Madara, when Sasuke looked at him for the first time the trap went off. If it was Obito then why did it go off?

 

Also didn't Kisame essentially killed himself to protect the identity of the person under the mask? This was the person controlled the Mizukage, which was Madara.

The sharingan thing from Itachi makes sense since it's not like he dug up Madara and set it to go off when he saw that sharingan. Just set it to go off for Tobi, who Itachi happened to think was Madara.

 

Poor Kisame then :p Surprised Itachi was tricked tbh. So far he has known everything.

Oh man, I have no idea what you guys are talking about but it sounds awesome/terrible. Something related to Obito, maybe? Keep the spoiler tags up (looking at you, Deathjam!)

 

I'm an anime-only fan, and the latest arc has been kinda pants up until Naruto and Madara got back into the fight. Does the story get better after the War arc?

The Manga is still at the War arc. :D

Hmm, I disagree. Although it's nothing really big, there's been room for a plot revelation in the last three 'hundred' mile stones for Naruto.

 

But seriously, the motive is fucking terrible. Then again, I'm only really following Naruto because it was the first manga I ever properly started reading.

I meant standard in that it was once again a flashback.

That's a very valid point! I'm surprised they mentioned a climax coming, because I could easily see Kishimoto shitting out a third arc for Naruto. Curious as to whether or not the scanlator's added that or it was said in the RAW, I'll keep an eye out when that issue of Shonen Jump comes out next week.

Well there's Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Its got a kinda Powerpuff Girls / Dexter's Lab feel to it, also the soundtrack is kickass. It's got alot of bass and a sorta club music-ish stuff in there.

 

Ah Debug beat me to it >_>

Those are good starting points for me though.

 

What I mean is... like how shows like Avatar and Totally Spies and Teen Titans and stuff have a clearly deliberate influence from anime... are there any animes which are consciously trying to imitate Western animation?

 

Ah, then I did understand you correctly! Heh.

 

The Big O is definitely a good example as I've noticed quite a few people think back on it and had no clue it was of Japanese origin. Although American producers started becoming quite active with the studio for the second series, there is absolutely no way I'd believe there wasn't any influence from western animation from the beginning.

Yes, the South Park segment! :grin:

 

 

*ahem*

 

Meanwhile, there are always manga artists who take inspiration from Western products, even if the style remains Japanese. One that springs to mind is Nobuhiro Watsuki, who is a fan of American comics.

Jin-E strongly resembles Gambit

And this guy...well :heh:

 

There are also characters wearing coats similar to Gambit's and Spawn's, as well. And this shot has "Wolverine" written all over it.

 

I'm sure there are plenty of other examples out there.
