Kubo and people who voice the anime Jump Festa 2012 interview

Kubo: Tsukishima's solitude is an important point.

----
Kubo sensei creates powers by their images/impressions.
-Tsukishima's solitude is a key.
The book that Tsukishima is reading is "The Return of Aion" by George Kirian
-He thought of it when requested by the anime staff for "even just the cover...". He thought of a title for a book Tsukishima's most likely to read.
-Aion (ancient Greek) refers to a period of time, a generation a century, a person's lifetime.
- Kirian is derived from an actual person.
Ginjou came to Sensei first by his looks.
There's no meaning in Tsukishima's name. Tsukishima came to Sensei by his looks and name at the same time. With an imagery of "he wields a beautiful sword", so he thought he was a shinigami but he made him appear here.
The panel of 477 that was shown was of Ichigo looking at the fallen Ginjou.
Search for the great artist corner:
- Morita san draws Ichigo's mask stylishly.
- Orikasa san draws new hair Rukia fussing cutely, in chibi-ish style (deforme). It was very good and she was so cute.
- Touchi drew Ginjou (er.. he looks like "GORGO", and looks like in realistic comics)
- The unexpected twist was Ono D. He draws 20 heads tall Tsukishima thin and loooong.
Kubo says, that the lost shinigami substitute arc was always dark and was a tiring story. He thanks the readers for sticking even though it is like that.
The clear files were the same as the ones sold on Harajuku Bankai event.

How Kubo named Ginjou
"Why he chose this member as the shinigami who came to the real world? Sensei says 'Those who have a deep relationship with Ichigo. I thought, the only ones who will come to save Ichigo are these guys only! But I've had confusions about putting Ikkaku (laugh)'"

"'Kuugo's was named as a pair to Ichigo. Tsukishima-san was truly created many years ago. He could've appeared as a shinigami."

What sensei means by "to match" is the pronunciation "Ichi-go // Kuu-go"
Because the meaning of their name is totally different :Ichigo / 一護 --> One who protect // Kuugo / 空吾 --> Empty (hollow) self
 
Itokoi Chidori

So four chapters in and . . .

ch. 1 :
boy gets attacked and raped by a sword-wielding stalker girl with big tits; he likes it

ch. 2 :
stalker girl is his cousin; they 69 each other in the house

ch. 3 :
foreplay in the morning, handjob in a locker

ch. 4 :
three-way with a female ninja

Not porn, they said.

Just read these four chapters. It's porn with a plot (probably a thin one at that).
 
So Kishi was at Jump festa this year(like always) and CyberConnect 2, the developer of the Ultimate ninja series/.hack/Asura's Wrath posted some questions and answers on their twitter.

Question: What would you change about the Naruto series if you could go back?

Answer: I would draw Kakashi without his mask. Fans expectations have gotten so high that now if I were to draw his face, they would get disappointed *laugh*

Question: When did you decide to have Naruto and Sasuke go on different ninja paths?

Answer: From the beginning.

Question: What is going to happen to Sasuke next year?

Answer: There is still much story behind Sasuke. His appearance will be more frequent next year.

Question: Which character do you want to play as in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations?

Answer: Sasuke

apparently he drew something too, I hope someone was recording that.

What?!? He'd rather play as Sauce-kay over Naruto and his new Kyuubi Chakra mode? Fuck this shit i'm going home.
 
2012 is going to be a great year indeed for Naruto. I guess it was expected since Infinite Tsukiyomi plot has to be drawing to an end soon. Oh well I can only hope more Sasuke means more involvement of Suigetsu as well.
 
Well it looks like Naruto is about to get considerably worse next year if Sasuke is coming back. Every page Sasuke is on is a blight on manga storytelling

It really doesn't get much worse than the start of this war arc was. I know you want to tell me the Itachi pursuit arc was worse, but at least that had a good fight in it.

Seriously? That cant be true, Sasuke v Itachi was one of the highest highlights in the series as well as the naruto sasuke post danzo fight dialogue, unless one doesnt think that highly of the series, and it was exciting having him for two pages this arc. I seriously cant be the only sasuke fan on here.
 
Lament of the Lamb
The Hour of the Mice
Fuguruma Memories
All by the same author of Sing Yesterday for me. Though they aren't slice of life, they're good, but you can take anything Kei Tome does and it is usually good (like Momonchi, which is slice of life).

Sing Yesterday for Me is a fantastic manga. I take it to mean you've read stuff like Solanin, March Walks in Like a Lion, A Brides Story, Emma and Toyoda Tetsuya's works? because if you haven't those are great slice of life and/or romance.

Dorohedoro. One could say this is a "slice of life", haha.. It's really good though. One of my favorite manga.

Some are josei, but whatever. These are some slice of life/romance I liked:

Emma/Victorian Romance Emma
Otoyomegatari/A Bride's Story
Hourou Musuko/Wandering Son
Solanin
Nodame Cantabile
Honey and Clover

Nisekoi 7

Kono Oneesan is an ecchi romance
/ ultimate male fantasty
. Ridiculous in some regards but it is mostly SoL.
Hetakoi is adult romance. Not really SoL but quite realistic.
Seishun Pop! is SoL ecchi romance though it has a dash of an
incest subplot
. There haven't been ch updates for some time though.
Minamoto-kun is...lol nevermind, I can't recommend that one.
Living Game is an older drawn style SoL romance. It's quite charming.
Planetes is godlike SoL romance and everyone who doesn't read it should be ashamed.[/spoiler]


Holy shit you guys are goddamn awesome! So many things I need to check out! And the multiquote is awesome too, hahahah.

Also, I think I am going to check out Josei. I cannot stand Shoujos but maybe its more adult kin can bring something different that I can enjoy.
 
You are trapped in my genjutsu!

No, it is you who are trapped in MY genjutsu!

Haha, I had you fooled, it only appeared that way because you were in my genjutsu the entire time!

But otherwise the Itachi vs Sauce fight was pretty boss, though Itachi was robbed. Run that shit back with ZombItachi.
 
Talking about ZombItachi i wonder WTF is he doing right now .
I hope to see him kick some more ass before he dies again .
Itachi sees Naruto and Sauce make out.

His soul finds peace and he disintegrates.
 
Eh Sasuke's not all bad. I'm eager to see his new techs and possibly a skirmish with Naruto. I hope he gets a fight with the konoha 12. I wonder if he can solo them all, or will Lee finally get his chance to shine...?

(fun fact: Sasuke has never fully won a fight on his own in part II lol)
In fact he barely won fights in part I...

PS: The year of Kakashi is coming to an end lmao.
 
Monster Hunter

I understand completely Bossun. I understand. Uh-huh.

And the ending was amazing :lol

(but where the fuck is my Switch part 2?)
 
PS6DX.png


WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?
 
Naruto vs Pain pretty much trumps most of Sasuke's fights.

He got a handful of mini fights like
-Naruto vs Itachi(clone)
-Naruto vs Orochimaru
-Naruto vs Sasuke
-A bunch of mini fights people forget like Naruto's skirmish vs Kabuto, Deidara etc.

Wouldn't be surprised tbh

Yea he had that illness to deal with (i wonder if Kishi will ever explain that).

Sasuke can make anything worst but i still looking forward to see what AMAZING things he going to do .

sad but true, The Sauce is just broke as fuck.


Great, now I'm agreeing with Big One. Thanks, Kishimoto.

lol

There was a year of Kakashi?

PFftttt

Naruto vs Pain was incredbile for the first half of it. Then it became a pussyfooting around TnJ fest. I'm not even joking here.

The other fights are as you said, mini fights. Naruto vs Orochimaru was one of the best in all of part 2, but he wasn't conscious of that so it wasn't a time where we could see what Naruto learned post time skip and then be like "wow Naruto is fucking awesome." Naruto vs Sasuke wasn't a fight. Neither was Naruto vs Itachi. If we're counting skirmishes as fight, may as well say Shino had a fight against Tobi as well for attempting to trap him with bugs.

Sasuke on the other hand was a boss.
-Murked Orochimaru (RIP)
-Full fight against Deidara (to the DEATH)
-Full fight against Itachi (TO THE DEATH),
-Good fight against Bee (when Bee was a boss on his own and kicked Sauce's ass)
-Great skirmish against Raikage
-Shenanigans at the Kage summit (directly after fight with Raikage...Like a boss)
-Full fight against Danzo (TO THE DEATH)

Really, up until the war, Naruto's "fights" couldn't compare. It's sad, really.
 
People are getting fuck up lol.
Still it rather easy to see what going on in that pic to tell the truth .
The only thing that makes sense in that entire panel is the dude in the bottom right. Swipe attack, resets hand positions. Everything else makes me feel like the manga is insulting me.

Left hand side is god fist owning mooks, top middle is sakaki owning mooks, theres a guy shooting a gun in the middle and bottom right is the princess fighting some random

yup

These are guys that can beat down tanks barehanded you don't really need a detailed fight scene to show that they are wrecking face amongst fodder. One panel, good guy team sending groups of baddie henchman flying, done.
 
PFftttt

Naruto vs Pain was incredbile for the first half of it. Then it became a pussyfooting around TnJ fest. I'm not even joking here.

The first half alone pretty much eclipses every other Naruto fight in the series so I don't really get you point. I mean its my opinion *fucking opinions* but damn I just love that fight to death. Naruto's spectacular entrance, the owning of the 5 paths of Pain by himself (fucking Kakashi couldn't even take on one) the return of the RasenShuriken. Middle parts were ok, I really liked 6TK's fight vs Pein. The 2nd half was pretty cool, and Naruto finishing off Pain with the Multshadow Clone jutsu + Rasengan feint was the sex.


The other fights are as you said, mini fights. Naruto vs Orochimaru was one of the best in all of part 2, but he wasn't conscious of that so it wasn't a time where we could see what Naruto learned post time skip and then be like "wow Naruto is fucking awesome."

Can't disagree. Its fucking bullshit how Naruto had no control over his 4TK form. Skirmishes are skirmishes :9

Sasuke on the other hand was a boss.
-Murked Orochimaru (RIP)
-Full fight against Deidara (to the DEATH)
-Full fight against Itachi (TO THE DEATH),
-Good fight against Bee (when Bee was a boss on his own and kicked Sauce's ass)

-Full fight against Danzo (TO THE DEATH)

Lol.

-Sasuke murked Orochimaru who was dying. Real fucking badass.

-Sasuke still had to resort to summoning Manda and getting the fuck of there. Still a wins a win.

-Itachi was holding back and dying from a disease. It wasn't even a "real" fight at least not for Itachi. His main goal was to force Orochimaru out of Sasuke's body lol.

-Sasuke got trolled. He lost, not once. Not twice. But THREE TIMES. He had to be healed by Karin (x2) and Jugo. And everything he attempted (Genjutsu, Chidori, Close combat) got countered by Killer Bee. It wasn't even close.

-Eh, Sasuke was fucking stupid to pick a fight with Raikage and the Raikage would have killed him (and died himself) were it not for Gaara.

-I'll agree here, he fucked up Danzo.

Again, fucking opinions. I'll take Naruto's magnificent fight against Pein VS Sasuke's dozen or so failed fights. Though the war arc makes this moot.

Sket Dance 172:

I know I'm on NeoGAF and that I'm "biased" when I say this, but a manga can never go wrong with a video game parody chapter. Well...maybe Dragon Quest, simply because it's been done over and over, but otherwise it's a guaranteed way to put a smile on a readers face IMO. Hell, it doesn't even have to be comedy focused (Hunter X Hunter).

The only thing missing from this chapter were Switch and Himeko appearing in the game. Definitely enjoyed the ending.

Yea but at least make it somewhat not stupid. They just had detailed panels showing single punches on enemies. Now the god fist is gliding on his tippy toes, Sakaki must be using some ball & chain weapon stuffed with TNT which attacks backwards, the princess (who has legs shorter then her arms) is just pointing at nothing, dude in the middle sitting down playing Othello next to the dude with an oboe...ughhhh. And I can not unsee the silhouette or some RPG mid-boss in the hole in the wall. The hole in the wall with those weird magnetic magic rocks around it...

I totally get that the scene is just supposed to imply shit is going down and to be like "OH MAN THAT SO CRAZY!" For me, it is just annoying cause I try to make sense of action panels.

EDIT:
God fist also apparently styled his hair like Sonic for this panel FYI. That crazy dog.

What? Not at all. The Pain fight really wasn't that great. I think it was an effect of not seeing Naruto get a proper fight up until all that time. then to finally see him get one...it was like a drop of water in a desert.

It was cool in that we got to see Naruto finally do what he should have been doing a hundred chapters prior, but as far as a fight, it is not anywhere near the best of the entire series (top 5 of part 2, sure, but those are slim pickings). Oh, wait, do you mean best Naruto the character fight of the series or that it eclipses every other fight in the series itself?

All of these things you're saying are either just problems with Kishimoto's characterization of Sasuke and the implementation of Sasuke's character when it comes to action and motives or your views on the fight based on the outcome. I am not worried about who won these fights. The end result was the same - an entertaining portrayal of a semi-broken character (who is broken for no reason!), there was really no need for him to get a full fight against Deidara!

The additional reasons behind a fight or the technical outcomes are not what I'm concerned with. I'm concerned with how much action we got out of a character in this particular conversation. With that said, Sasuke has gotten tons, too much, in fact. As a matter of fact, there hasn't been a time when Sasuke was on the screen that he hasn't been doing shit (other than when tobi was telling him the Uchiha history).
 
TLR 76-78

I'm starting to feel like something amazing is going to happen soon.

Something incredible.


Shaman King 25-26

Ch26 really gave a "late title" kinda feel. Like it was prologue so far.


Hayate

:lol Hinagiku.

Only when Hayate's the one opening the door, though.
 
Ubel Blatt

And there goes down the second hero.

Holy fuck that was a good fight. The entire setup, the reversing of the hero roles and those 4 knights. Just amazing. Ato also transformed which is a good thing since now she will be useful for future battles.
 
Sasuke is total shit, goddamn, not a single cool fight except for the time Raikage piledrived him into the ground, which was badass because of RAIKAGE. Every entertaining moment from Sasuke's fighting comes from the other characters, not from Sasuke himself, cause every time Sasuke does something it drags the fight down to shit like the time he stretched out his sword to hit Orochimaru in his sleep, which looked like complete shit and is worse than the average dumb Sephiroth shit. Goddamn, fuck Sasuke. Yes I'm fucking MAD.
