Your post just proved that people get waaaaay to serious about stuff like this. Thanks.
And yes I am a nerd, but I am objective enough to admit the weaknesses of the stuff I enjoy. You, as it seems, can't.
This is Naruto, it's as far from good storytelling as Mega Man is. If you want something deep and involving I suggest you read a book. Without pictures.
This is going to be wordy, and I'll accept the fitting consequence from my tone of this post be it ridicule or a warning or worse should it arise.
And your post just proved that people get intensely arrogant due to popularity on a online forum, to the point that they believe they can say anything they wish without a response to the contrary. I question your opinion and self insertion of importance and assurance. I'm not serious of a graphic novel itself, but what it's story itself is. While the story itself is not the next Dies the Fire, the characters themselves are rather unique and deep as well as their interactions with each other. The exact opposite of Mega Man, which has shallow character development.
As far as my choice in literature goes, that is none of your concern, but I would be glad to show you photos of my personal library that I've constructed for myself, in the home I own. I'm am fully capable of reading pieces that involve no pictures as you insist, and some of my favorite authors--Anne Rice has much attention in my selection. The difference between normal literature and this is that most main characters submit to the harsh truth of adulthood and begin to sacrifice either feelings or goals to get by in life, or to advance their own position.
Naruto, has something where the main character is simple, yet complex, stupid yet intelligent in his own right. As well as the fact that he holds fast to childish goals and ideals, yet strives to see them completed despite what others would think of him. Very rarely do you find a character in literature that is so immature, yet so dedicated to the point of inspiration to the characters around him who once shunned and hated him.
And if I recall, I pointed out the weakness of japanese graphic novels, as well as character and story development in another thread and was ridiculed for it. So, no. Don't act as if I don't know the difference between prime rib of an author's work and rump roast.
So, yeah. Thanks for -trying- to undermine me as well as question my taste and intelligence but not only did you take the first shot in all this by being rude first hand--And I'm sure you'll get away with it due to your popularity on the forum, but, I honestly don't care how popular you are, you're not above the rules of treating others how you wish to be treated on the forum, and neither am I.
Be it Naruto, Lucky Star (Which I dread), or Mega Man. It's a nerd's forum and we're here to discuss things in our nerdy ways. If you don't like how light or deep someone is going into discussion about something, pay no mind to it and keep the attitude to yourself. And next time, try not to go into a dog fight with as little ammo as a childish insult as "You're discussing it too deeply for my preference", add some wit and backbone to your insult and statement.
I'm not going to change how -I- like to discuss something because -you- don't like it. Grow up and stop acting the child.
Now as far as the manga goes, I'm willing to accept that Danzo is Madara's little brother if anything.
