HAH! And I wouldn't be surprised too. Maybe they'll squeeze in 'flashbacks' that we haven't seen before? That might help justify some of the random stuff in 700.

...Do you even know what I disliked about the ending? I have no issues with everything you mentioned up there. I actually really liked 699, which covers everything you've mentioned above, except for the Hokage part. And I was fine with that too.

Oh, I have nothing against 'happily ever after'. What I have a problem with is how rushed it seems and how it just overturns the past several years of plot and character development of the characters. I would have even appreciated it if they had taken just several more chapters to flesh it all out so that 700 would…

Uh, okay.

Hey, that's exactly the same thing I said when I looked at the ending. I believed that Kishimoto had thrown out all of that plot and character development for his characters, and just reverted them to their 12-year-old selves for the ending, simply for the sake of his original vision of what the ending should be, and…

Uh okay dude. You need to calm down. It's just a manga. You don't have to call me names because you don't agree with my opinion and interpretation of it.

Oh yeah, the power of editors always make things better (most of the time). Hey, not liking how the ending was written doesn't mean I don't appreciate all the laughter and all the tears that Kishimoto gave to me. My dislike of it simply stems from my own literary analysis of the series; if this was the ending that he…

Hey, that's what fanfiction/fanart is for right? XD

The main storyline, at least. The spin-off goes off from the childrens' perspective, is what I'm thinking.

Okay.

You know something is wrong when you need a whole MOVIE just to explain the disparity between 699 and 700. He wouldn't have bothered if he'd just looked back at all the plot and character development he'd done for the past 15 years.

Hey don't get me wrong, I thought chapter 699 was amazing. There was just too little justification for 700 to go as it did.

Hmm. I think that's not necessarily true, even though it explains the disparity between 699 and 700.

I was happy with 699. 700 was just...confusing. It was like he'd thrown out the past 15 years of plot and character development.

But I do read Bleach and I like it too. Bleach has its own flaws; most famous of which is the plotkai. But I still enjoy it, like I did Naruto.

Best girl? Certainly. For Naruto? I'm afraid that would be detrimental to Hinata.

Well, Matt Smith is kind of an overgrown kid. He doesn't let being an adult stop him from being mad in a fun way.

Actually, wasn't the Xel Naga backstory out since Starcraft 1 was released?

Naruto fans: OP's popularity coming to an end? Yeah, that's nice. We just ended with a meh ending.
Bleach fans: Really? At least you guys still have a damn anime. And an upcoming movie.
