THANK GOD!!!


My words exactly. There is a time when manga series are supposed to end. I think Naruto is coming very close to what is supposed to be it's end.

It's weird, I was just thinking yesterday about when Naruto was going to end, and I remembered that Kishimoto had an ending in mind.

I'm an old-time fan, and I can't WAIT to see the end!

Hurray!!!! The misery and stupidity of Naruto and Bleach are going to die off soon! I won't have to listen to people talking about them anymore!

I'm so happy right now, words can't even describe it... Anime smile

Should have ended years ago. Story's been getting incredibly "draggy" for years now. Can't really bring myself to say "good riddance" like other shows out there that are much worse, but this show tip-toed on the line towards boring and uninteresting for a while now. Sasuke making a turn towards being good again would be a bad ending tho after everything the story has gone through. Yeah Yeah "How can Naruto become Hokage if he can't even save one friend>" blah blah.

That's the ending right there, he fails to save Sasuke, realizes he CAN'T save everyone, there's no such thing as wasted effort regardless, and still becomes a great Hokage.

Repeat: Sasuke being a good guy at the end is a HORRIBLE ending.

Well at least they won't drag it out.

Oh this was a fun ride. Now, what American comic will Kishi use as his backdrop for the last arc the way he did Blackest Night with this one?

It's about freakin' time. Of course, this isn't new news or anything, but still... I used to love this series, but it became such a mess. I just kept reading because after all that time, effort, and money, I wanted to know how it ended, gosh darn it! Hmm, wonder what I'll do without my weekly Naruto ranting... Eh, I still have some time to figure that out - at Kishimoto's pace, I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow manages to drag this out another few years.

I'm not a fan, but I have a lot of friends who are into it, and sort of keep me updated on how it's going. I will say I'm legitimately interested in how the whole Sasuke situation will go down, you know he has to come back to Kohana, but he was being written at almost supervillian levels of crazy for a while there.

So Naruto is also reaching closer to its major climax? Since the manga is finally improving at this moment, that's awesome!

Like any other shipper out there, I wonder who Naruto ends up with if it ends in a time skip and as for Sasuke, I guess it feels inevitable that he and Naruto will have a final rematch against each other and will determine if Sasuke can ever be redeemed or not.

Between Bleach and Naruto, I can't believe they are finally ending but as they say, all good things must come to an end.

I really love Naruto and i think that Kishimoto made a very wise decision to end the manga soon. I kinda suspected that Naruto were getting closer to the end and when ANN posted this article a few days ago it it felt like an unofficial "confirmation".

Toriko, it already took Bleach's spot as the 3rd, so yeah, it should go up to 2nd.

Meanie. He didn't mean to get cancelled. And when the opportunity rose to finish things off, he did take it, and make full use of it.

It's not. This shit should have ended in part 1.

It seems almost impossible for Sasuke to reconcile at this point, so I'm looking forward to the ending. Long (too long..) time coming.
