Seriously. When I read his post, I was thinking "Nah, not possible. I still had 56k in 1999."

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
When I was in high school, we talked about Super Saiyans, but we hadn't actually gotten to that part yet. The guy in question was just way ahead by watching the Mexican rebroadcast.
I also knew a guy that tried to convince me you could revive General Leo by finding a secret dragon cave north of the Veldt.

Pretty crazy to think about. My dad, little brother, little sister and I used to watch the Naruto anime together pretty regularly back then. Jesus.
I think '03 was when I really started, back when Jump first started in the US. I used to read it all the time in the grocery store, then started buying One Piece volumes, then found out that with the beauty of the internet how I didn't have to wait 8 months to see what happened next.
Hooollly shit, that's 10 years.
DBZ was more a middle school thing for me.
I graduated high school in 07 for reference so I think Naruto had just started airing on American t.v. a year or two before I graduated. So you had all these people who weren't sub watchers or manga readers spouting bullshit.

Ha, yeah. I graduated '06 and everyone was starting to always talk about Naruto and Bleach over the next couple years and never One Piece.
C'mon America. get it right already, haha.

Dbz never stopped being popular wherever I was, from elementary school all the way to college people I know always talk about it and play the games it's nuts.
I had both. Beat that.

Yep.
I liked it because it was fucking ridiculous how broken The Sauce had become.
pretty much but having info was like having trade secrets and the person who knew it was looked upon as the one to talk to aka god of all things dbz.
But with that you had people who didn't know jack shit but acting like they did LOLOLOL.
@ bold: that shit was a myth to us for a while, especially since it supposedly had the violence intact.
I actually wanted to buy one but never did.
Kaiji Part 3 - vol 4
That was amazing. Muraoka is truly one of the best Kaiji villains. Just loved how he stopped giving a shit about Kaiji and didn't bother to listen to him when he knew he was out of money. Didn't even believe his ridiculous story about the servant not picking up the phone call.
So Kaiji is totally fucked now. He had one game where he lost cause of a screw up of knowing what the wait was and now he lost cause he had to discard the winning tile. Looks like his luck did run out. Curious as to what will happen next since that other guy probably won't be lending him money any time soon.

I went to check that chapter (308) and not only was it kinda important, because Sasuke got to see the Kyuubi inside Naruto for the first time, I also can't believe how incredibly bad the scanlations were back then. Holy shit.
I wonder if we have anyone in this thread who is still in high school :lol.

Does the Madara at the end really sound like a guy who went "do not speak that ninja (Hashirama)'s name in my presence!" some time earlier to you?

And the utterly nonsensical "ooooh, how mysterious!" leads.

Shouldnt the next chapter conclude it? They seem back to the fight where they had the intermission and I dont think he can really drag the fight out for more than one chapter?
I can't wait to see what this friendship testing game is.

Huh, so apparently there will be some mystery as to why Ken knows quite a bit about battlefield remedies and first aid?
The battle scene was surprisingly brutal.

That girl is like the Ninja Dog mode in Ninja Gaiden. If he can't make it then he should retire, third party or not!.

Eh, the premise was always about being a chef for Nobunaga. There's bound to be some fairly brutal battles.
Hoping there's more cooking in the latter chapters though.

What's the deal with anime videos and Linkin Park?
But the chef is supposed to stay in the kitchen and avoid all this violence.

Their songs are most fitting for battle shonen amvs. Unfortunately the new amvs people make that dont use Linkin Park often feel inferior or make me want to quickly hit the mute button.

Which is why I think his medical combat knowledge is going to be more critical to the story probably.
He probably won't have to fight anyone though.
I've already given up on Bleach and Naruto for years now but I definitely started following both when they first appeared online.
You forgot My Immortal.

Yeah, but Linkin Park is in like 90% of the songs. I tried to find some fighting clips from naruto part 1 and it was terrible.
Also, that one Evanescence song was popular as well.

That one Evanescence would be My Immortal.

Really? I thought it was that other song, with some male vocals thrown in. I can't remember the name, but it was more angsty and angry than emoy and sad.
