So when I look at a lot of my old icons, I cringe a bit, noticing glaring errors that I made - ranging from the simple (oh god that clone + stamp is so obvious) to the dire (I thought THAT was a skintone!?).

I mention this because a couple of the icons in this batch are quite old. I'm tossing them in for completeness' sake, but ye be forewarned.

asdkl this has been building up for quite a while but I'm just going to let it all out. Spoilers for recent Naruto chapters.

I never thought I would be raging over INO of all characters )

Not even the fact that Tenten speaks can save that page. Also who wants to write some Tenten/Ino now? I know I do.

In more happy manga-related news, this popped up over at [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets and I couldn't agree more!



Or, as Dr. Nurse over in /jam/ said:

HOLY SHIT MY VAGINA IS AWESOME.

Man, Naruto fandom. What is this obsession with having characters join the ANBU? Is the concept of them standing around uselessly in mask really all that interesting?

So, a while back I had a debate with some people re: misogyny in Naruto. Spoilers for Naruto and Fairy Tail )

Naruto 442

pikabot: (rasengan fixes everything!)
I'm amazed.

There was nothing wrong with this chapter, aside from one minor page that brought up a thematic derailment that I've beaten into the ground so hard that objecting to this minor example would just be petty. It was well-executed and was actually intelligent and didn't rely on any new bullshit powers.

I can't wait to see how Kishimoto fucks it up again next week.

Re-reading Naruto always causes me to dig up fresh things to rage at. In this case, the Chuunin exam finals (specifically the fight between Naruto and Neji).

Cut for...well. Durr )

From [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions.
3. You should then update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You should include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post [only if you want to].
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed you should ask them 5 questions [only if you want to].

I HATE YOU VISCERALLY
pikabot: (hinata hates you)
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it’s over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.


This one's Naruto. I'VE GOT TO RUN OUT OF FANDOMS EVENTUALLY, RIGHT?

I am a MACHINE )
pikabot: (ninja)
It's astonishing. I mean, I know I'm fond of saying that Sasuke is the millstone around Naruto's (as in the manga, not the character, although I guess it works both ways) neck, but I never realized it was so literal: The manga seriously went back to being tolerable from being completely horrible the second Sasuke dropped out of the picture. I think the art quality even improved. it's amazing.
pikabot: (Weeping Angel)
Dear Naruto fandom,

Why would you ever produce a piece of fanfiction in which Chouji rapes Shikamaru? Just...why would you do that? What could possibly make you think that that was a good idea?

God I hate the internet sometimes.
pikabot: (rock lee is huggable)
I'm still annoyed at the direction Naruto is taking with regards to Itachi. But I will give credit where it's due: that was a nice piece of continuity play with the whole 'Itachi's mysterious visit' thing.

Now if only Kishimoto would stop sucking at art and pacing, and put the entire Uchiha thing behind us, maybe the manga could get somewhere again.

Nah, that'll never happen.

EDIT: I have to say, this chapter presented the whole thing much, much better than the previous one did. I'd probably have reacted less furiously if it was presented like this in the first place.
