Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史, Kishimoto Masashi) born November 8, 1974 in Okayama Prefecture Japan, is the creator and author of the popular manga and anime Naruto. He debuted as a mangaka (Japanese cartoonist) with his work Karakuri, which was submitted to Shueisha in 1996. Beginning in 1999, his next work Naruto was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump manga magazine. Kishimoto had received the Hop Step Award, which is given to new artists once a month by Shonen Jump. He also says that he was influenced by the Dragonball series and its creator, Akira Toriyama.

His twin brother Seishi Kishimoto is also a manga-ka and the creator of 666 Satan. Their art has been remarked on as being very similar and accusations of plagiarism were made, either that Seishi had copied his brother or vice versa. However, Seishi notes in one of his manga volumes that the similarities are not intentional and that the occurrence would have been likely because both he and Masashi have been influenced by many of the same things. Masashi Kishimoto has publicly dismissed these accusations in his own manga.

ing the youngest son of Konoha Military Police Force captain and Uchiha clan head Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Itachi Uchiha. Itachi was an acknowledged prodigy who was viewed by the Uchiha clan as a genius, and whose work would further strengthen the bonds between the village and the clan. Sasuke's father in particular took an active interest in Itachi. Itachi, on the other hand, was rather ambivalent and full of oddly conflicting undercurrents, acknowledging Sasuke by taking interest in his progress as a ninja when even their father did not, but spending little quality time with Sasuke. Even after Sasuke enrolled in the Ninja Academy, he was still unable to escape Itachi's shadow. Despite consistently scoring at the top of every class, Sasuke failed to receive any recognition from his father, who defined Sasuke's success only in terms of his older brother. Itachi acknowledged the rivalry Sasuke felt, telling him, "We are brothers. I am the wall you must climb over, so you and I will continue to exist together."

Itachi's relationship with his father deteriorated further after Itachi was questioned by other members of the Uchiha clan regarding the apparent suicide of his best friend, Shisui. As Itachi's behavior became increasingly bizarre, Sasuke's father began spending more time with Sasuke, and began teaching him the Great Fireball Technique, a common family jutsu seen as a sign of coming of age in the Uchiha clan. After only one week of training, Sasuke (age 7 at the time) performed the jutsu in front of his father, proving himself a genius as well in his own right and finally receiving his father's recognition. Sasuke's father told him that he could now proudly wear the clan's emblem on his back. Forebodingly, Sasuke also received a stern warning not to follow in Itachi's footsteps.

hen he was a child, he used to be a very kind boy, loving towards his parents and brother, and respectful to his clansmen and teachers. He was even very proud to being Itachi's brother and Fugaku's son, famous for being devoted protectors of Konoha, and he always desired to emulate them. After Itachi massacred the clan, Sasuke's ideals and personality changed, becoming cold, lonely, cynical, and devoting his entire life to kill Itachi.

When first introduced to Team Kakashi, Sasuke displayed great indifference to his teammates. Feeling superior to all of them, including his teacher, Sasuke was unwilling to cooperate with Naruto Uzumaki or Sakura Haruno, as he felt they would provide him no aid in killing Itachi. However overtime, as he spent more time with his team, Sasuke began to lose some of his anger, caring more about his team than his revenge. To help push him back into his desire for power Orochimaru branded Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven during the Chūnin Exams to give him a taste of power. Although Kakashi Hatake sealed the Cursed Seal, Sasuke began to draw more power from it in the hopes of getting stronger.

According to Kakashi, Sasuke has both a superiority and inferiority complex, as he is unwilling to acknowledge when someone is stronger than him, but obsesses when he believes someone is stronger than him. For example, he was complacent with his rivalry with Naruto when he believed he was stronger, but when he noticed Naruto's fast growth, coupled with his defeat of Sunagakure's jinchūriki Gaara where Sasuke was beaten, and his quick defeat by Itachi on his return to Konoha led Sasuke to believe that his progression at Konoha was far too slow, which lead to his defection to Otogakure. Upon defected from the village, Sasuke left with the Sound Four and traveled to the Land of Sound, only to lose the entire Sound Four to the Sasuke Retrieval Team and face Naruto alone at the Valley of the End, where Naruto

Elemental Techniques
Sasuke using Kirin.

Proving himself a true genius ninja and member of the Uchiha, Sasuke has repeatedly shown great proficiency in fire-based jutsu. By the age of 7, he had already mastered his clan's rite of passage jutsu, the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. Even Kakashi was amazed at such a feat as, according to him, Genin usually require much more experience and developed chakra to perform elemental techniques. Hoping to encourage Sasuke not to use the Cursed Seal, Kakashi taught him how to use the Chidori, made more effective when combined with his Sharingan. With this combination, Sasuke can punch through the strongest obstacles with relative ease, as well as severely damaging any opponent. In Part I, Sasuke was limited to using the attack only twice a day, with a third usage after the initial activation of his Cursed Seal.

Over the timeskip, Sasuke put a great deal of development into the Chidori's ability to manipulate lightning-based chakra. When first seen in Part II, he was able to use Chidori Current to emit electricity from all over his body as a shield that stuns those it comes into contact with. He can also channel the Chidori through his new katana through "Chakra Flow", giving the blade extreme cutting power and allowing it to numb anyone it cuts. He can also concentrate it into more solid forms like senbon and a sword, allowing him to make more precise attacks.

This is one of the strongest of Orochimaru's Cursed Seals, the other being its counterpart, the Cursed Seal of Earth. The seal consists of three tomoe, similar to the Sharingan, which, when activated, spread like flames across the user's body. When Sasuke activated the second level of the seal, his skin turned dark-gray and his hair grew and turned dark blue. His eyes also turned dark gray. Additionally, he grew webbed-claw-shaped wings from his back which he could use to glide, and a dark, star-shaped mark appeared across the bridge of his nose. Like all Cursed Seals, the user receives increased chakra levels and physical capabilities when the seal is active.

Anko received her Cursed Seal when she was a student of Orochimaru. She, along with nine others, were the first people to receive a Cursed Seal. She was the only one to survive the application, establishing the one-in-ten success rate for the procedure. Because she lacked the will to use it, her seal receded, and Orochimaru wiped her memory. Orochimaru was able to briefly reactivate the seal when they fought in the Forest of Death before the Third Hokage sealed it off again.

[Anonymous No.471397]

Even though it debuted some time after the manga, the anime quickly caught up, since one anime episode usually covers one or two manga chapters. To prevent overlapping, the anime's producers tend to organize content from the manga chapters into long, uneventful sections followed by short bursts of action, sometimes adding filler content in between. By the time the Sasuke Retrieval arc ended in the anime (episode 135), the series was at a point where it was quickly gaining on the manga. At the conclusion of this arc, the anime immediately switched to anime-only episodes to allow the manga to broaden the gap once more. Most of these episodes are stand-alone stories, with a few being part of arcs that were several episodes long, and lasted for a total of 85 episodes in the first series.

After the series moved back into manga-adapted episodes, it was renamed Naruto: Shippūden (疾風伝; Hurricane Chronicles). The new series premiered on February 15, 2007.

The anime generally remains true to the manga, usually changing only minor details (causes of death, loss of limbs, and other injuries have been lessened in the anime) or expanding on parts skipped by the manga, such as the fight between Tenten and Temari. The anime-only arcs, though unreferenced in the manga (save for a few scant scenes), deal with the breaks between manga volumes, which covers a short period before the Sasuke Retrieval arc and several months before the time skip. The anime-only arcs tend to cover the supporting characters, occasionally giving insight into an otherwise rarely seen character.

Naruto was born as the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki. Before his birth, they had decided to name him after the main character in Jiraiya's first book, hoping their son would be as great a ninja as the character was. This made Jiraiya Naruto's godfather.[4] Soon after his birth, however, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha. To save the village, the Fourth Hokage engaged the Nine-Tails in combat and sacrificed his life by sealing it within Naruto, believing his son would someday have use for it. Naruto was left to grow up knowing nothing of his parents, receiving only his mother's last name since the Third Hokage felt that it was best that nobody knew that he was related to the Fourth Hokage.

Naruto as a young child.

Before the Fourth Hokage died, he asked that the villagers of Konoha view Naruto as a hero who had helped to stop the Nine-Tails. Few of the villagers did as he asked, most instead resented him for containing the monster that had destroyed their home. In light of this, the Third Hokage decreed that nobody should ever speak of the Nine-Tails sealed within Naruto, hoping that their children would not resent him as they did. The children, however, followed their parents' lead, despite not knowing why. Iruka Umino would be one of the few exceptions, who was always compassionate to Naruto's plight. For this, Naruto came to view Iruka as the father-figure he never had.

Good job faggot.

Another board suggest something fun, and you fuck it up by spamming useless shit?

[Anonymous No.471421]

No, /lit/ wouldn't. You see, mediums like /a/ and /co/ have their characters exaggerated to an extreme; so the heroes are super heroic and spew cliche, contrived, heroic bullshit; villains are super evil, manic, and over-the top, mustache twirling, cunts; love interests are helpless damsels in distress.

Even with your gritty realism it often makes a joke of itself. No matter how well done your stories are done, they can always be broken down into such a simple format of good, evil, love interest, etc, so there is nothing really interesting there.

I'm not insisting there are no exceptions, there are, on both sides. However, for the most part /a/ & /co/ will always be pathetic, throw-aways in comparison to literature which truly explores the human soul. If you have characters that can be split down into simply "good" and "evil" roles, and you have simple little quotes you can attribute, then you've got a pretty shitty, undeveloped character.

So no, /lit/ wouldn't like to make one similar to that image you posted, OP, because literature is better than your kiddy shit.

There are way more books than there are manga or anime. In both case, 90% is shit. It's just that the 10% of quality material in the case of books outnumbers the amount of good anime/manga because it is 10% of a larger quantity (all of the written work humankind produced over the past few millenia vs. this past century for anime/manga).

This makes it appear like there's some kind of essential difference.

I'll also agree that demographic limitations resulting from stereotypes (such as the one you hold) make the percentage of good anime/manga smaller.

It doesn't make sense to dismiss an entire medium just because you can't find (not that I imagine you've looked) work from it that rivals your favorite novels. Appreciate a piece of art for what it is, not for how it compares to an entirely unrelated piece of art that came a century earlier.

From your generalizations that comics are dominated by spandex, ninjas, and caricatured personalities, I take it you have not given the medium a serious chance. Try taking a look at Sandman sometime, or maybe Arkham Asylum, even Watchmen. It may not be what Dickens or Kafka or other authors are to you, but they are fine pieces of work that have a great deal of merit.

"I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul. In my degradation I have not been so degraded but that the sight of you with your father, and of this home made such a home by you, has stirred old shadows that I thought had died out of me. Since I knew you, I have been troubled by a remorse that I thought would never reproach me again, and have heard whispers from old voices impelling me upward, that I thought were silent for ever. I have had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it."-Sydney Carton (Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens)

I always will promote this anime until the day I die: Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Girl's Revolution Utena).

It has a strong basis in Hesse's Demian. You can read it on numerous levels, it's full of a ridiculous amount of symbolism (while also poking fun at symbolism in general), has ambiguous sexuality and sex related to power, the concept of "growing up" expressed in a number of ways,... and in the end you aren't even quite sure WHO had the revolution and what the revolution meant. Hell, I still debate whether 99% of the cast even existed outside of one character's head.

This is exactly the problem with anime though. The very people who constantly express this idea whenever faced with negative generalization are themselves partaking of and perpetuating that generalization at almost every turn. You criticize an anime fan for his medium's general intellectual vacuity and he will be more than happy to list fine works such as Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop as counter examples. He will then proceed to watch Wolf and Spice, Bleach, or any number of lesser works.

This is why I have never really been able to buy the "it's not a genre, it's a medium" argument - not because it isn't true - but because it's merely technicality in the case of most works, in face of the true generalization.

You three, fuck off. You can't just say something is better because you like it. We've been over this on other boards (especially the big ones, like /tg/,/a/,/v/,/co/) long before /lit/ ever came into existence, and the same rules apply to /lit/.

animus suck

[Anonymous No.473701]

I think another mark against anime is a very common western misperception that many of the shows are somehow "indie" and produced purely for artistic and story-telling value by a studio uninterested (primarily) in profits. This couldn't be farther from the truth.

I remember reading an interview about the director of eva, how he "hates otaku" and "only wanted their money." That engendered a lot of anger but the fucking vapid masses of consumerist Japanese still buy millions of dollars of eva character goods every year, 20 years after the show aired. Well trolled.

This story can be repeated all over anime studios and publishing companies. Especially these days. Even the director of Akira has succumb to the most blatant - almost hilarious - product placement in his latest OVA.

With literature, entire studies can be done on author motivation and meaning. No such depth exists in anime. The answer is usually obvious. "Fanservice" and "Profits"

But then you can say the same things about literature. But anyway, fuck off. This isn't a thread about "MY HOBBIES>YOUR HOBBIES FAGGOT" it was supposed to be fun, making memorable quotes for characters that either fall into what we would classify in literature as "less moral" or those that are "more moral". But apparently the no fun crowd can't ever fuck off from 4chan.

Isn't that what this whole fucking discussion is about? "Don't be manchildren?" Or "Is anime to be despised for catering manchildren?"

[Anonymous No.473725]

>>473715
And then we have to define what manchild is. Is /tg/ full of manchildren because they play dnd and warhammer? Is /v/ manchildish because they play videogames? Etc. Basically, pretentious elitists on this board would try to claim out of all the boards on 4chan, only /lit/ is not home to manchildren. Don't you see the problem with that logic? Or is your elitism blinding you?
