I don't know how far you're on but

Gaara does a complete 180 and Sasuke becomes more Edgy than a fusion between Shadow The Hedgehog and EMIYA

irony

but emiya isn't even edgy, he's just a sarcastic ass

It's been determined that the moderators here have been too lax with our enforcement of the NSFW avatar rule. However because it was our moderation that was not in keeping with the spirit of that rule verb won't be seeing any kind of negative repercussions for the use of that avatar.

Going forward I think the best rule of thumb is to make your avatar suitable for what is generally accepted to be ok to show to children. So in other words keep your avatars PG, and that's a modern PG, not a Temple of Doom PG.

They got enough development for their role in the show.

Also not giving everyone huge levels of character building =/= bad storytelling.

Spoiler
you said everyone gets development in part 2

i'm posting people who don't

also the big 3 are all shit so him being slightly less shitty than another author doesn't make his bad story telling ok
Spoiler
they don't have to have huge levels of character development. they just need to have something and at least remain relevant in some manner instead of being introduced and then forgotten about save for the odd panel where the author remembers that that character exists too.

How often do you see these characters in comparison to others? Shino might not get a whole heck of a lot of development but he doesn't appear a whole heck of a lot either. He's not forgotten about because you can clearly see him from time to time in Part 2, but he wont get much in the way of development because there's not much he can contribute to. I'm not saying Kishi is perfect with his character fluff, but he's significantly better than another Big Three manga creator who introduces four new characters in one page with names and personalities only to completely kill them off a few pages later, or completely forgets the name of a supposedly powerful character because he went so long without adding him in the story.

Spoiler
off the top of my head
shino
kiba
tenten
lee and neji also go for long periods of time without being relevant to anything, iirc neji only comes back at the end to generate some cheap feels
the extent of kurenais development is that she gets preggers
gai is a meme
asuma only gets development right before he dies as a cheap way to generate feels

72 volumes takes up A LOT of space. And looking on Amazon right now, getting all three box sets new would round up to about $350. Worth it considering how much I like the story, and less expensive/a hassle than buying the DVDs/BDs for the anime since those con you on price for content.

that was fucking dumb of you, because now you need to spend like 500 bucks to get them all again

or just got to your local library

you could also just sub to cr for a couple months and watch it all

What like the cloud team? They were created to fill character spots in the final Shinobi War because the rest of the main cast were already spread out, of course they weren't going to get development. Killer Bee is introduced somewhat late but he still gets appropriate development.

that's 3 people for 1 arc

there are dozens of characters that get introduced and forgotten about

You're still not at the part LC just described then because it's a major plot point for an important fight in the upcoming episodes.

60, like the thread says.

orochimaru disguises himself as some chick in the forest like 20 episodes back. that's who i was confusing him with.

my bad i thought he was at that point because of some other shit he said

i forgot about the whole rain ninja disguise

Spoiler
Obviously they're not going to have Sasuke/Itachi levels of development but things like the Kakuzu/Hidan arc for inoshikacho was plenty.

it's almost as if it being longer doesn't mean that all of these characters get actual development

There's several other prominent female characters that are already in the show where you're at that you're forgetting about.

besides, her disappearing basically leaves

a) sakura
b) blonde sakura (occassionally referred to as "ino")
c) hinata

out of those three, hinata wins, obviously. but she's just the shiniest of 3 turds.

tamari
chick from lee's group

who else

literally no one worth mentioning, except maybe hinata's trainer, but she's not very prominent at all. i just like her design.

kin, that chick from the sound team

but yeah she's not exactly prominent

i thought that she turned out to just be orochimaru?

nah, she was used as a sacrifice to bring back one of the hokage. western version may have been censored, but in the nip version they show her body.

i actually don't think there are. the only other 3 at that point i can think of don't get much screen time.

gaara's design is cool but his character isn't as interesting when it was revealed he was evil

when he was first introduced he seemed like he had a shred of decency to him that i liked
Gaara isn't evil.

yes he is

prove your theory in a spoiler tag if you want to talk about this more though

Gaming / Re: Sony Exec comments on backwards compatibility
« on: June 06, 2017, 06:38:12 PM »
He says nobody uses it..


Because Sony hasn't had it in like fucking ten years.
ps3 can still play ps1 games, to be fair

i think it can only play a few

to respond to your first post:

backwards compatibility is really only necessary for games that were cartridge based that have a lifespan due to their memory... some of my n64 games wont save anymore because of it. so functionally theyre better on newer hardware. its also just more convenient and you dont have to deal with input lag. i refuse to play anything pre hdmi on an hd tv because of that.

not everybody has a working older generation console though so the ability to play games from one or two generations ago is pretty useful.

naruto goes to the moon and fights some bisexual weirdo on it to save his waifu?

Jesus, did it actually get THAT bad? I stopped keeping up shortly after Shippuden started and only heard some of the stuff like major deaths from hearsay.

it jumps several sharks, they don't even wear space suits when they're fighting in space. no idea how any of them are breathing.

i took a look at a high rez version and it just looks like a badly molded plaster head of trump got dunked in a can of red paint. i don't really think that counts as a realistic depiction of gore.

i'm open to removing it though if you can provide a good argument as to how it is a realistic depiction of a severed head.
the red paint represents blood

the plaster head represents a human head

this really isnt hard

i understand that it's a representation of a violent (and gruesome) act, but what i'm worried about is whether or not it's a graphic depiction of it.




your opinions would be welcome on this

I'm reporing you all for advocating for threats of violence to the president of the united states

Unless of course...

You free the lolis.

the bong lobby is pretty strong here. i think the servers moved out of utah though so if it's in a free state i'll talk to cheat about adding a loli tag for anarchy
