You'll find out sort of eventually. It's nothing special.

Oh and btw as of now. The three new episodes of Pokemon Pearl have just hit 24 hours.

Quote from: Dattebayo

so here's the deal: Pokemon reaches 100k downloads per episode within 24 hours, or else Naruto is permanently dropped*.

*Note: Only the English, French, and Portuguese-Brazilian versions of Naruto will be dropped. We will still release the Hebrew sub.

So then. I'm waiting for the announcement to see whether or not it's a troll or not.

Also I ask again how exactly does DB make money just from getting traffic and dls on their site? There aren't any banner ads for other companies or products so who would pay them for just getting traffic? Before their professional paid services and still now, how are they making money from us downloading?

LOL. The professional thing is a troll too, they are not professional or anything IMO. The whole group has a very dark humor, to my liking BTW, and I can not stop laughing when i read comments like yours.

It IS a troll man, no need to go check after 24 hours. They will probable say OK so we are drooping naruto, and then release 19 next week as normal.

Well I thought it was a troll but didn't see any YHBT written anywhere so I wasn't sure.

I didn't know that professional service page was a troll though

But what's the reason behind this troll was what I was asking. Are they trying to convince people to dl Pokemon just for the heck of it or does it somehow give them income?

Steve:

I should have said it's all IMO, not proven fact. If I had to bet though, you know I would call it all a troll. It has yhbt on the url anyway.

Looks like I was right

19 is out, dling.

Too bad 19 sucked. They wasted 5 minutes talking about their interpretation of art, which was totally ridiculous. They also decided to draw out the intro of the clones to waste another 5 minutes. We also have to wait another 2 weeks for episode 20. I don't see any logic in waiting an extra week to air an episode when the episode itself was almost pointless. I bet if you took out all the unnecessary stretches the episode would have lasted 5 minutes. This show is becoming a joke.

I've been waiting so long for Sakura's fight ever since I read it in the manga. It's so close, but I hope they don't lame it up. I wouldn't mind if they draw out the battle, but I want the battle to be drawn out with fighting, not uselessly long dialogue.

Who knows? Maybe by episode 100 we'll see the scene with Sasuke that they showed in the beginning of Shippuuden.

At least when the fillers were airing, I knew the episode was going to be crap. Of the 19 episodes of Shippuuden, I'd say about 8 of them were actually entertaining....not a good start to bring back viewers.

lightshow · « **Reply #168 on:** July 06, 2007, 06:35:22 AM »

I like their after credits segment they did on ep 19.

They knew that half the fans forgot about most of the Sauske thing and the whole pot of Naruto's whole goal. yeah. i'm high. goal!

compres · « **Reply #169 on:** July 06, 2007, 07:12:58 AM »

I don't think I will be watching this crap anymore.

juggen · « **Reply #170 on:** July 06, 2007, 09:17:08 AM »

the producers turned Naruto into a kids show, and apparently liked their 2 years of fillers, since they can't seem to let 'em go, because shitpooden is filled with crappy/slow-mo/boring filler sequences.

I might watch some eps, but now its manga-only for me.

I thought it might turn good again, since 16-17 was pretty good i think, animationwise and such. but it turned into crap right away w/ ep18+

I'm not gonna stick to a show, because it CAN be good. Seeing how well they did the first episode. But now I know its not gonna happen or only on very rare occasions.

beezer08 · « **Reply #171 on:** July 06, 2007, 05:57:07 PM »

It seems the producers think that instead of producing a very good show with a long filler portion, they can just add filler to each episode which drags the whole show down completely. The first idea was actually better, believe it or not. I'd rather watch a great show and then have to put up with a year of fillers over a drawn-out pile of crap.

sscilli · « **Reply #172 on:** July 06, 2007, 07:02:51 PM »

This is starting to remind me of DBZ. Entire episodes where two guys are about to have a bad ass fight but the whole episode is filler and they're about to start fighting right as it ends. Maybe I'll forget about this show for a couple months and watch all the episodes while skipping through filler.

I totally agree, that's why I liked what they did, filler-only, so that I could just skip them, and then get back to the real story.
But I guess u can't have it all, they had to screw up the manga anyway, which was the main reason I didn't want filler filled episodes from the real story.
Now Naruto completely sucks imo, just like u said....

At this point I'm satisfied ignoring the show and just reading the manga. At this rate it's going to take months to even get close to the current chapter, where it's finally starting to get interesting.

I'm disappointed to have to admit it about Naruto, but more and more television shows and media in general has lost all respect for anything of artistic value and fallen back to using the bare minimum in quality.

The problem isn't really that the media is producing half-ass material, it's that so many morons eat it up without even noticing. I stopped watching cable here at home a long time ago and it's gets me down thinking about how half-ass media is all over the world, not just in America.

I'm not gonna be the one to start it, but we need some sort of huge revolution or war that actually matters to force people to either start thinking hard, or just plain die fighting and stop burdening the average human IQ. (I'm not just venting I'm serious

)

...But that last part is sort of off-topic in a Naruto thread

It's just too bad we're not included in Japan's ratings so we can't do a Naruto boycott or anything to send a message to the tards in business suits.

Wow...just thinking of how long it will take for the anime to catch up to the current storyline... I may have a friggin' kid by then...

juggen · « **Reply #176 on:** July 10, 2007, 11:49:01 AM »

actually it will take years.
they usually don't use more than 1 chapter / episode, which is like... nothing!
So it won't catch up anytime soon...
You might have the time to get 2-3 kids Steve >_<

It should take about 1 year to catch up if they released it with about 3 chapters / ep.

maxxjulie · « **Reply #177 on:** July 10, 2007, 04:54:09 PM »

seems like the last couple episodes really was the last straw for some Naruto fans. why exactly are they taking two weeks between crappy episodes every time now? i've never downloaded and watched a show as soon as it's been fansubbed before. Is this how the animators take summer vacation? I actually find that the long stretches between watching an episode makes it easier to take. Could anyone here sit and marathon this crap?

I take it the fight you are referring to is Sakura vs. the Puppet dude? Was it a huge fight in the Manga? Don't go into too many details cause I want to be surprised, but...how major was it? Sasuke vs. Naruto major or Kakashi vs. Itachi?
