Remember that a family and their cat flying in a watermelon seems to be the kind of show that constantly holds the #1 slot in Japan. Naruto remains quite popular, despite the naysayers. Not as popular as OP, but holding fine in its own right.


I think a lot of fanboy logic works like "If it's not #1, it's a complete bomb and no one likes it and it needs to fall in a well and die and be erased from existence because no one obviously likes it or else it would be #1"

Then again, no one will ever be #1 as long as Sazae-san is around.

Man, Naruto must be really popular in Japan to be the only series that gets its own spinoff anime.

I'm still baffled that this is getting aired... This looks extremely dull; and looks like it'll have all the cheesy and useless slapstick humor that the naruto filler episodes had. Case and point; the Special Curry episode --- completely dull.

Well it's not exactly high brow humor but it's fun and amusing.

And considering the real anime is about to get into a very dark arc, it can be a nice contrast.

To each their own; I guess I just don't like chibi characters and that type of humor.

The funny thing is that I think this show will be in the weekly top 10, making it harder for Naruto (and Inazuma 11, Pokemon) to appear in said list.

Yes.

Although I suspect there will still be some who continue to deny even after seeing the "Shinigami Diary" at the end of episode 366 referred to as the last one.

2- Naruto still has to be pretty popular to not only justify a running TV show, but also a comedy spin off. It's like Perfect Strangers, except Urkel doesn't hijack the spinoff.

but rock lee IS the ninja version of urkel.

oh, sorry--DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND?!!!

also, several popular manga have spin-offs in that shonen jump sister magazine (one piece has one centered around chopper), but the rock lee one is literally the only decent one of the lot, so, like someone mentioned, well-deserved.

People at the Adult Swim forums are still swearing up and down its just switching networks. It's kinda sad really. Presumably since once Bleach ends, Adult Swim Action dies.

Also, yeah, of all the spinoffs, Rock Lee's was the only one to gain any sort of traction. People like the character (and he's a long running main cast member, not an Urkel like creation developed solely for the spinoff who hijacks it)

Still, it's time to celebrate Bleach ending and old bowl head getting recognized, by doing the Urkel!

Considering what's considered the top 3 week-by-week, I question the taste of those polled.

Rock Lee is probably the only Naruto character I like, so I might actually watch this.
