Don't ask how I stumbled onto this question that was posted on Yahoo! Answers. I have no idea what this supposed "Naruto" is. And the broad outline of the "debate" will be familiar to anyone who was a geek (or, for that matter, a rock snob) in high school, and of zero interest. That's not why I'm posting it.
I don't know what it is, but I found something about this post as funny as any Larry Grozic column. Maybe it's someone using this tone unironically. Maybe it's idea of someone being furious about the "overexposure" of some shit that 99.9 percent of America has never heard of. Plus, halfway through I became convinced that the dude was just making words up.
Does anyone else find the fandom of naruto appalling?
i remember when naruto first came out in japan and i found it really cool. but then a year later it was whored out in every anime convention. where for 2 1/2, 3 years straight i've counted over 70 naruto characters cosplayed (which lead bread to the nickname narutard for the cosplayers). it was insulting and made me lose intrest in the anime. then when it got lisendsed it got worse and even hot topic sold the naruto jacket (aswell as vash's coat). i'm glad it is now starting to calm down but who agrees that the fandom was crazy for a while?
i'm finnaly happy to say i am able to watch naruto again without gagging. i can't say the same for one peice. damn i hate how it was slaughtered. it was better 4 1/2 years ago when it was still in japanese.
i really need to learn japanese moreso than i already have. i'm really starting how it gets ruined. anyone agree?
