On Naruto Shippuuden, rambles, and fiction.
Thoughts on Naruto Shippuudent Shippuden, because everyone else was doing it.
I. Wow. Honestly? I've missed Naruto so much it's not even funny. Like I said in that one art post, it really did a lot to keep me entertained for that half a year that I shrugged off school. To know that fillers were being added for the longest time made me stop watching it, but I got all giddy and excited when I knew there was going to be a continuation.
However, it's unfortunate that I don't really like the manga for one reason or another, so I never followed it in the first place. Lame.
II. That aside, I really love the opening and ending songs. The opening is very up-beat and made me do that fist in the air thing for no reason at all. Fun times, acting like a 'tard and all. And the ending is very nostalgic of sorts, which was a little woeful but nicely done.
III. The art this time around is very clean, and resembles that of the movies they did. I just hope they can keep it up, but I have high hopes for this arc of the series. ♥ But yeah, it was very shiny and such.
IV. Even though it had its fun times, it really was a sad episode. Though because of that it got me in the mood to watch more, especially with the characters changing so much in the passing of two [and a half?] years. I also admit that Naruto is hotter, and that Sasuke honestly didn't seem to change that much. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
And Sakura was, well. Sakura. I really like her unlike so many other people. But maybe that's just because of sweeter, in the end. ♥
V. I was never a fan of any of the pairings in the series [besides my weird obsession with Naruto/Sasuke and Itachi/Sasuke, but those are guilty pleasures and nothing more] but this time? I really see how Naruto/Sakura is fleshing out. Seems like Sakura has eyes for Naruto, which he seems a little oblivious to. So cute.
VI. All in all I really did enjoy it. I might be biased for the fact that I was obsessed with it for the longest time, but I think I'm ready to take a dive and get back into the series. Oh, how I've missed watching an anime I can actually stand to follow.
... alright, so maybe I have more stuff to say, but didn't know where to include it in my other post. Comments disabled because I felt like it.
The other night duogami handed me a link to a very good piece of fiction that I didn't think I'd like at first. It was Riku/Namine, which was a pairing I've never been too fond of. I'm absolutely in love with their interaction though, because of the novels it gave me an insight on how close they did become over such a short time of being together. And it's kind of like my thing about Sora and Riku - I'm not too fond of the pairing, but I'm in love with their friendship, probably more than a lot of other friendships in that particular fandom or any fandom.
Anyway, back to the fic. It was very well written, and caught my interest very quickly. Just the way they wrote it pulled me in, even if I wasn't into the pairing. Though now? I'm kind of liking it. Not hardcore-like, never to that extent, but it's cute in a really sad way.
What else to talk about. Oh! Some of you might or might not know that I'm working on an epic fiction right now. Though for the time being? I'm not showing it to the public. I've already got opinions on it from three people I handed it over to, and the results are good so far. It makes me wonder if it's almost time to actually post it up somewhere [probably here]. I'm not sure just yet.
But I'm kind of frustrated right now, because so many good ideas are in my head, but this next chapter? I had something planned, but now I forgot about it. And unless I stop myself from writing it without said idea coming to mind, I'd probably end up changing everything altogether. Sad day.
Hopefully it'll come back soon!
Uh. I think that's it. I just felt like rambling before I went to bed.
