It's one of those rare times that it's acutaly useful and important to know what the lyrics to a song are.

I am sure you'll see the significance.

Well, if you're getting all 1000 episodes or whatever, I suppose there might be a case to be made there.

There's 489 episodes currently between Naruto / Naruto Shippuden if my count is correct. Doesn't count OVA's or movies.
Fair enough. Fate Zero is worth buying for sure.

Well, when you get that high, the actual number doesn't really matter. lol

It's okay guys at least we still have this to look forward to!
I'm not gonna lie, if it lives up to the manga, it will be many times better than the F/SN anime was. Seriously.

30 or so dollars for every 12 or so episodes is adding up fast, but its so worth it.
Naruto and One Piece will be around for my grandchildren at the rate they're going so yeah.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, the new Naruto DVD comes out this week!"
Though, I suppose some new technology will be out by then so instead of DVD it'll be like... holographic projectors or some shit. "Now beam your anime directly into your frontal lobe!"
That'snot very difficult for a show to do.

Shounen still only appears on DVD in Japan... unless they appear on BD but the discs sell so poorly that they don't chart.
I can't imagine who would be crazy enough to collect those episodes on disc like that though. It'd be like collecting DVD copies of a soap opera.
Hmm, yeah I wonder...
Oh, looks like we have a winner
Do you rewatch it? I'm judging from your other posts that you do rewatch a lot of anime but that's a lot of discs to own that never get played.

I really hope to god that the One Piece DVDs in Japan have more than two episodes on them.

Ive rewatched part one of Naruto (chunin exam to end) eight times, and part of Shippuden at least to where viz is currently at (12 of the single disc sets and six of the volume sets, 126 eps), three times...and for Bleach Im currently on my third rewatch of the dub to where viz is currently at too (13 sets, 205 eps).

Except... what the fuck is the Galactic Empire anyway?Bodacious Space Pirates 25
Being Chiaki is suffering. I appreciated theswitch tactics of Kane and his brother. That was quite the reveal.
If I'm reading the description right, I think it's 20 episodes
I should clarify than this is for the Log Collections. The up to date releases have 4 episodes
Ah, Fumoffu. That's one of my favorites if it wasn't already obvious.
Fumo? Fumo fumo!
you'd have to pay me to watch Naruto again

4 episodes per DVD is still rough. I wonder what a Japanese shounen nerd room looks like... just a wall of hundreds of DVDs for each long running shounen series that they collect.
Fate Zero - END
Hell yeah!
Kuroko's Basketball - 12
Hells yeah!! Is it next week yet?
Eureka Seven AO - 10
Fucking Truth, I don't understand which direction on where the show is heading, it's just plodding along with no purpose so far, while bringing in various plot elements which also go nowhere.

But the feelings of nostalgia and seeing all of the squads in action is definitely worth it. And surely one enjoys seeing Sasuke and Naruto on the same team, having fun as rivals and supporting each other, or reliving some of the best filler arcs and funniest episodes, still, to date in Naruto?
Indeed. Your avatar made it obvious but its really great
I loved the haircut scene... oh and of course the notebook scene.
Tessa's "sleep walking" bit was great too.
So many great moments.

But, where are they?
I mean, their explanation makes it sound like they just popped out of nowhere to stop the war, but there's no sense of where they actually are. I mean, are they in Galactic Empire space? Or are they outside and are essentially the Puerto Rico/Guam of this universe?
It makes me wonder how much they thought about any of this stuff.

I don't think many people collect super-long-running shounen series. Except for Gintama.
[Fumoffu]
That would cross the line and make Sousuke too unsympathetic, methinks.
any nostalgia is completely nullified simply because they flash back to every early scene about 30 times
its almost like I was forced to rewatch parts of it that many times, so yeah, youd have to pay me

God, why are they dragging this out so long. I already seen the end result, I just want to get there so this stupid arc can be over.
About time for Kyon to snap only to revert back to his remark to himself self. Sigh.

You got numbers for that? I figured it was in line with the rest of them.
Well, if DTL doesn't mind, he should post what his collection looks like. Shouldn't be that different from Japanese shounenbros.

Someone needs to support the Strawhat!
Well,
it's not like surrounding a kid with explosives and dangling him high up garners much sympathy in the first place. all it needs is one piece of shrapnel... and he wasn't portrayed as a sympathetic character in the first place, I mean, the poor girl who confessed to him... I think it could have been pulled off it was done completely deadpan, like most of Sousuke's statements are... oh well, it's really only a minor thought.

Your guess is as good as mine.
At this point, we know more about the princess' homeworld than we do the Galactic Empire.

Ugh. If only they got rid of some of the dumber episodes and spent some time world building, then maybe some of this stuff would make some sense. lol/shrug

It's funny, because the picture of Japanese rooms that we usually see is full of moe moe kyun goods of waifus and so forth.
perhaps you missed the intro where they explain how sousuke grew up
Remember that the final arc is anime original. The entire 5 episode first arc was all worldbuilding!
The novel-adapted parts did do worldbuilding well, I think. Final arc is sacrificing that for more ADVENTURE! You mean the 5 second line inserted into the joke intro where he gets reported for blowing half the school up and the principal is being bribed to let it go? Yeah, that really got some sympathy!

Huh, pretty cool. I'm guessing there's also a reasonable amount of episodes on each dvd if it's going by seasons.

We find out
Really like the music cues. They seem to be at the right time of the game. Next week should be a great conclusion to the game.
We find out
Kagami special move is jumping. So Kuroko is misdirection passing, Kise is a copy cat and Midorima is shooting. Can't wait to see the other 3 miracle players skills

Wait, this is based on a novel series? Jeez. lolRemember that the final arc is anime original. The entire 5 episode first arc was all worldbuilding!
I really wonder what leads to gintama having such good sales compared to other long running shounen. (apart from the fact it's only the best anime comedy ever). I think someone mentioned the last time this came up that it was a lot more fujoshi friendly then the average shounen, and they buy more DVDs?
hosannainexcelsis

Each DVD has 4 episodes.
Yes, it's the fujoshi factor. You may have noticed that Gintama occasionally makes jokes about that, such as a fake DVD cover featuring Gintoki and Hijikata in suggestive poses.
Yup. The author stated that he originally just wanted to make a hard sci fi series, but he thought it wouldn't sell so he moefied it. ^^

Naruto is pretty damn fujoshi friendly. As was Reborn, but that finished a while ago.
Ah, well nevermind then.
