  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Naruto: the ultimate in generic shounen filler-fest unoriginality.

*laugh* That pretty much sums it up. Still, I need something which is better than the American dribble...with the acute exception of "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Itsumo nihongo de miruzo. Tanoshii'n da (te ba yo)!

(Trans: Always watch in Japanese! It's fun (??as all get out??) ! )

I watched it until they finally finished saving the bridge builder after the 'fight' had been dragged on for several episodes (DBZ-style). Decided to stop watching after that. I later discovered that the "filler" which most people complain about had not yet even started at that point.

That's just my experience though, you might like it better. The general idea sounds great (Sasuke is pretty hot too), but it seems as though the writers had frequent vacations, resulting in a lot of episodes that could have just been left out entirely.

Looks like the the fillers will finally be ending in February. Can't wait for the "Naruto II" anime.

Now if Bleach would only finish the Bounto arc, I would be a very happy man.

but says those lines on his face is because he is a fox demon.

The lines on Naruto's face are actually there because of the demon fox inside of him. Naruto is not himself a demon. Rather, he had the demon sealed inside him when he was an infant. The story revolves partly around his struggle as an outsider, feared by others, along with the struggle of keeping his "inner deamon" in check while striving for noble principles like honor, friendship, and justice (and Ramen noodles).

yeah, Naruto's not ademon (although he can access the nine-tailded foxes chakra when he needs to.) everyone just thinks he's a demon because the fox demon was sealed inside of him. BTW does anyone other than me think the fourth Hokage (the guy who sealed the fox in Naruto in the first place,) is Naruto's Dad?

yeah but there are still alot of people who say that there's no real proof. but come on, just look at a pic of the fourth. see any resemblance?
Don't forget that the forth also invented rasengan, was a frog summoner, and was trained by Jiraiya. Interestingly, the forth trained Kakashi. :)

i know! and as to those who need "real" proof. the only way you could get more obvious is if someone actually said "The fourth Hokage is Naruto's dad." or "looks like Naruto's trying to follow in his father's footsteps with his dream of being hokage." I mean get real.
