Naruto's end and new beginings

Well Naruto is pretty much at an end. The writer apparently plans to do a small follow up series but it won't be long and will likely just be a long Epilogue to show all the aftermath.

For some of us Naruto was one of the first anime we ever saw (Minus pokemon and other kid shows) so it's ending is sad but inevitable. It's been around for so damn long that it's weird thinking about how it will be over soon. How do you all feel?

Also with one of the series the west like to call "The big three" finally ending what's next? What shonen series will take the chance to rise to attention?

Feel free to talk about your thoughts on the series but try to avoid big spoilers.

 

Its sad to hear but it eventually had to come to an end. I remember when I started watching it on Toonami, ahhh the good old days. I don't know how the story has developed since I only watch it dub streaming on Hulu but I do hope that it has a good ending.

 

It is good news but when it's something you practically grew up with it's still sad.


On a side note I think this series is probably turned out the most like DBZ. It started out simple with characters using skill to fight (Dragon ball with martial arts and Naruto with Ninjitsu) but eventually just turned into super over the top battles with big, flashy attacks. It got extended to a million episodes and was plagued with a lot of filler.

Spoiler: Spoiler for chapter 700 (AKA Final Chapter)

I'm shocked NaruxHina actually became official. I was so expecting it to just end with him not ending up with anyone. But that last chapter tied things together beautifully.

BTW I haven't actually kept up with this series but when I heard that NaruxHina was confirmed in the last chapter I just had to see it.

 

Yeah, it's kinda sad that one good manga just ended, I have the feeling that the anime will also end pretty soon, the latest opening Silhouette kinda gives the vibe that the anime will end in about 6 months or so, but I'm satisfied with how the manga ended.

Anyways, One Piece already has a lot of attention, no one knows when will it actually end and I get the feeling that Bleach will be ending pretty soon, maybe in about a year or so, same for Fairy Tail, dunno why though, it's just a feeling

 

I need to catch up with Naruto, the fillers, the overwhelming and constant fillers were to much, but since its at the end, i may finally watch the rest, but one does not simply catch up on over 100 episodes...

 

I am also late to reply!, I think its mainly because I don't want to see any more filler as when you've seen and I took a look at my anime folder, ive seen a total of 449 episodes of that show (excluding the movies), which if you sliced in half consists of non filler , for example between episode 440 ish and 449 it was just filler , sometimes i wonder whats filler and whats story. I'm sure youve noticed filler? I sure noticed it when it was airing, waiitng a whole week for a filler episode was crazy. I will catch up at some point, since I have already watched so many I guess.

However all the seasons of Bakuman must come first! im liking that show so far

 

Yea I mean I pretty much grew up with watching Naruto really , some fillers were nice, but I really wanted them to just get on with the story, as the overall plot in Naruto, well IMO , is very good, its well developed and all the charterers have there own great traits and personality's which makes the show a great watch, most of the fillers i did hate , as ive never been a fan of filler's as i just want that " engaging" story line to at the front, unless its to aru kagaku no railgun then I wouldn't mind fillers that star Misaka Mikoto, that would be great! and yes Bakuman us grand stuff
