Well a few parts of the internet are apparently on fire with the ending of Naruto now out. Why you ask? Shipping of course

Spoiler: It's been 5 years since I dropped the series, but it feels surprisingly satisfying seeing which side of the wars won. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Other people (click to show/hide)

So who's betting that a new series will show up sooner or later, starring all of the kids?
^{my inner shipper just went "yaaay" at the first spoiler}

odds are 100% ._.

HA! Knew they wouldn't just let it die

Crunchyroll's videos have been uncensored since episode 4, I think.  The censorship in it beforehand really was insanely excessive, though - in other shows like JoJo it just looks like a tasteful shadow, here it was full-on black bars everywhere.

e: Except for that one time Jotaro's cigarette was censored.

5 Ninja villages united, even with the Samurai.  What can go wrong? 
Oh right, almost everyone that made it possible dies, the ninja world is plunged back into the previous era.  Obviously with some young super prodigy, filled with hate and stuff, kicking it off.
And/Or... some big bad +musket age foreigners show up.
Another lore friendly way to put it is the actual nations the ninja villages are under go to war, dragging the ninja villages along.  (That shit is pretty much abstracted out to not being part of the infighting and power balance between the ninja villages though...  Leave ninja stuff to ninjas.)

I'm leaning on foreigners, what say you?

Gato comes back from the dead as basically Zed. Remainder of the new series details the tribulations of Konoha's giant seal-powered robot pilots in their battle against giant animals. *desultory* Go go power ninjas.

The entire thing will be brought to popular ascendancy by the inclusion of the giant hiruzen head. End episode will actually be giant sarutobi robot piloted by the seal-trapped soul of the God of Shinobi laying a smack down on the entire elemental nations and kicking their shit back in order. It will achieve critical notoriety as the best last minute plot twist ever written into an anime.

Ugh! Gundam Build fighters WHY!?! you were doing so well...

Nooooooo!

Whatever it is minor... Have your "I just wanted to be as good as the boys" female character... As long as she is presented well I am sure that aspect of her personality will be downplayed. I do find it interesting that she is still the weak link on the team.

But that is to be expected. A Gundam such as hers has never really done well in the tournaments. As well she has no real special trait or attribute for the moment. Being less skilled in both combat and build ability.

Which actually could make her a lot more interesting down the road if done right. Afterall she isn't based on having broken ability or a broken machine.

So honestly I could see this development going quite well. All they have to do is treat her like a contributing member of the team and a character in her own right able to make decisions for herself... and BOOM! Heck in many ways I have to respect their decision for not just having Yuuma make her Gundam.

I am not going to let this get me down. Sure these very same traits in a lesser anime would be the reason why "She is a girl, and as a girl she isn't meant for the rough world of MEN!!!" (Honestly Damn you Marchen Awakens Romance! Princess Snow was my favorite character)... but this is season two BABY! anything can happen!

mhm. The story of how their relationship got there is being relegated to an upcoming movie though. The rage from fans who didn't have their ships win out is delicioius.

Hah, I'm having a lot of fun watching the fallout as well. I suppose it helps that my core ship--despite having only read maybe the first couple arcs of the series before dropping it; thanks, fanfiction writers!--was canonized, because god damn is it good to see elegant wallflower badass route as canon in anything ever.

TerraforMars on crunchyroll had a ludicrous amount of censorship.  Are there any versions without that?  I stopped watching because of it.

It was censored? Oh boy.

How? Lack of Blood? Different Coloured Blood??? What kind of Censor???

99% of the screen greyed out type censored any time there's any blood. This is on the CrunchyRoll version or any versions derived from it, e.g. HorribleSubs version. Basically any time anything violent happens the entire screen greys out and it's like a radio drama. "Wow, watching this grey screen with screaming going on is awesome".

I can testify that the Commie version at least is ripped from the Japanese uncensored version.

And yet it's still better than the faux-photorealistic gore in the manga...

I'unno, as appreciative as I am of the true hyuuga bloodline, Reload kinda' sold me on the ambiguously transgender Sasuke pairing. Most narusasu stuff just makes me want to bang the author's head against the wall, but that was pretty well done.

E: Of course, Reload's Sasuke was also about ten thousand times more compelling of a character than canon (admittedly not a difficult proposition, but still), but eh.

That's because Reload as a whole was well done. I'll buy into most any premise or pairing even if it would ordinarily break SoD or not jive with my own interests, provided the writing is good.

Totally didn't see that one coming at all. Really. 

(I'm still happy, though.)

NarutoXHinata was called for since the beginning. Naruto put alot of build in her during the exams and then her explosive comeback in the Pain arc already settled on those two. The real question is: "Is Sakura still pining for gimp Sasuke?"

[JoshuaFH]

So wait, wait, wait.... Naruto's daughter is named Salad?!

The real question is: "Is Sakura still pining for gimp Sasuke?"

Seriously, Sakura x Sasuke won out? She deserves so much better.

Probably not, Sasuke keeps rejecting her and hes probably gonna go lonely wanderer mode after the series.
