When talking ninjas and Naruto I feel like we're talking about the last Alone in the Dark, you know the game where you were never in the dark and there was always someone with you....

I would also sell your soul to the Devil to see it completed. Sadly, pretending Prison School is the continuation just doesn't work.

Not every ninja manga can be Shinobi no Kuni.

Eh, whatever. As much I like me and the devil blues, prison school right now has been pretty amazing. For entirely different reasons. Or similar reasons. I can't tell anymore.
Well...yeah but I feel like if they were samourais instead of ninjas It wouldn't bother me at all.
Heck kinda like how the pirates in OP don't do any actual pirating.
Or how in Bleach the whole shinigami stuffs is really a pretext (that one is for you Beam
)

Two my absolute favorite mangas right now:
Shuuden na Kankei
and
Saiteihen no Otoko
Two vastly different manga: one is fascinatingly cute and endearing, the other is fascinatingly intriguing and inventively horrifying.

I think it is good at what it does, but I just don't think it is a series I want to read while it is ongoing. I read a volume a while ago, thought it was funny, and that's enough for me.

It might be worth picking it back up. I won't say that it reaches the insanity of devil blues, but there's a pretty knowing absurdity going on right now that is so ridiculous it's amazing.

Hi. I watch anime here and there, but I've never read any manga. This seems like a good place to ask for a recommendation.
As for tastes, I really really like One Piece. Tried watching Bleach after taking a break from OP and kind of hated it. All the victories in One PIece felt completely earned, so when Bleach did the "I have never been beaten in 9 billion million years but oh wait the Main Character hit me once, I am now dead" thing early on, I found that really annoying. When Mihawk claimed to be serious business, he actually meant it.
Whatever you recommend doesn't actually need to have any fighting in it, because the increasingly more depressing character backstories and other emotional moments of OP are also completely great.
I'd prefer if I could read something that didn't have an anime adaptation, because otherwise I'll just end up watching that instead.

Prior to reading, I was thinking it would have been a short chapter like it happened in the past, no biggie.
After reading, talk about blue balling.
Hunter X Hunter
Toriko
Oh man, there are plenty of those
Shokugeki no Soma (currently this thread's darling, it's great stuff, check it out!)
Medaka Box (the anime ends before the story even gets going)
Baby Steps
Molester Man
One Punch Man
Mondaijitachi Z (sequel to the anime)
And most importantly, this means you never read Yotsuba&, right? Fix that!

I'd say Jouichirou is the most swag character in Shonen Jump (comparably as swag as Ken from Nobunaga no Chef--dunno about Swagmoto)

All right. I'm not sure if you want ongoing or completed, so I'll do both.
Depressing ongoing:
Oyasumi Punpun
Depressing completed:
not simple (Quite short. Very unique art.)
Shiba Inu
Ikigami
Earned victory action ongoing:
Berserk
Vagabond
Earned victory action completed:
Hoshi no Samidare
Battle Angel Alita
If you have any specific genres you want to read or preferred lengths, just let me know.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Actually, there's a pretty clear pattern that DTL likes dudes who get naked all the time, e.g. that swimming anime, Isshiki (the naked chef on Soma), Gray on Fairy Tail, yesterday someone asked about an anime and he said it was awesome, citing a picture of a naked guy.

Thanks for the recommendations. I looked most of them up (and was immediately sold on One-Punch Man because that's a great premise) and they sound good.
i want you all to know
that as much as i hate naruto now
it really used to be my shit
when i was a young teen (or maybe 12?) and youtube was in its glory days, i got my kicks watching naruto episodes subbed in 3 parts split, in really shitty quality, and it was a riot.
i almost teared up at the zabuza and haku part with the music overlayed
rock lee's storyline and that SAME FUCKING MUSIC (Sadness and Sorrow!) made a motherfucker cop the feels something fierce
the third's funeral ;_;
the memories are strong with naruto. it was the first real anime i got into (I don't count DBZ/Sailor Moon on Toonami cause those were different)
TLDR: Fuck you, Kishimoto

I think the weakness is he's predictable. He always does the same thing, press-in then when he reaches the other guy a body blow with his left. If you know it's coming then stopping it is child's play. Ippo's gonna need to find some variation if he's gonna win.

I think most people who still read Naruto had a similar experience, Statbro, which is why they still follow the series, even after all the shit Kishimoto pulled. Most of us watch or read the big three through nostalgia goggles. It doesn't make it better, but it gives us a reason to follow them until the bitter end.

Actually, in terms of fights, I would argue the Pain Invasion as it.
Well, if you disregard how it ends with he casted Phoenix Downs on everyone... bleh.

At least he is aware of all the boobs he keeps drawing.
Don't forget to post impressions when/after you read them, most people who ask for recommendations forget this last part

Lee vs Gaara is definitely one of my favorite moments in the anime.
