    I haven't read or watched since the mass resurrection used solely for wangst and backstory revealing, did the retardation ever decrease or did it just get worse?

    I believe I've already read something along that line, yes. Spin-off, though. Not sequel.

    Also, the aftermath of waifu war is always delicious.

    Funny you should say that.
    "Naruto: Shin Jidai Kaimaku Project." Scheduled for 2015. Dunno if it's going to be a full series, though.

    Good news for people that like NaruHina, I guess. Not sure if I like Naruto's new hair, though it's still a million times better than Gaara's.

    And that was it?

    Hm, not feeling anything special. Not the usual sorrow when a series ends.

    Gaara got the 'respectable young accountant' look... this actually amuses me to no end.

    It is a strange Thing. I was never really invested into Naruto, not even really when it started first. Yeah, I saw some cool episodes at the start, but it wasn't really any more important than most random cool Anime. I really got curious when I read the fanfic mischief fragments over on Anime Addventure.

    Now that I am reading the last few chapters, I think I understand what the whole manga was about. It wasn't about the world, about the war, about being a great Ninja or anything. I love the worldbuilding that was created by fanfic makers, but that isn't what the original manga is about.

    It is really about two children that are growing up alone, in different yet similar situations, and how they clash even though they are the best friends.

    Such a simple thing....

    It is a nice Story, not perfect but fun.

    I stopped watching the series after they entered the forest of death since it was all just talktalktalktalk tinybitofaction talktalktalktalk. I'm so glad I decided to just watch Bleach instead. Edit: plus 666 satan/O-parts hunter was WAY more awesome Jio>Naruto and Ruby>Hinata/Sakura.

    Yeah, 666 Satan was an amazing manga. Have you read HunterxHunter? Not sure about Beelzebub. It started off pretty awesome, and in my opinion, has stayed that way, but it looks like it's going to be the next Naruto/Bleach/One Piece.

    Only read about the first 2 chapters of Beelzebub and never read HxH, too busy reading fabrics, playing War frame etc.

    Wait, seriously? Man, checking out how many chapters there are, I apparently took a hiatus from reading manga two weeks early. Last chapter I read was 237, and it ended on 239.
