The Clive Rosfield Experience

Every Naruto Shippuden opening is just:

Establishing shot of a distant scenery of some sort

Naruto in the scenery or staring at it

Sasuke is placed in a mirrored/parallel pose to Naruto

Sakura clutching a kunai looking really really sad about something

Groups doing cool poses. Kakashi is there I guess.

The villains doing cool poses and fight snippets

Naruto running and stopping briefly to stare at something in the distance

The something is Sasuke, and the animation budget has quadrupled to make him look as beautifully tortured as humanly possible

Sakura crying/looking sad again

Naruto and Sasuke moving towards each other or clearly thinking about each other

End it with a group establishing shot. If not that, Naruto & Sasuke staring at each other.

Griffith: Does arranging assassinations to protect my life from royalty who have dedicated themselves to murdering me and have in fact already tried to kill me at least once make me awful?

Readers: Yes you disgusting sociopath.

Guts: The fuck are you even talking about, I see no problem with murder why are you even worrying about this.

Readers: A true saint and a gentleman.

The Buddy Daddies dub is really good and underrated. Particularly the script and Kazuki’s delivery on his lines for all the episodes really elevates the show.

Naruto is fucking insane bc as someone who's never actually watched the anime, I'll have just THE gayest shit pop up on my dash of Sasuke and Naruto, and when I go "oh hey nice edit, this looks really good" I FIND OUT ITS CANON OFFICIAL MEDIA DIRECTLY FROM THE ANIME??? Insane. How did they get away with that.

What I’ve been missing in my life

Naruto and sasuke still make me so insane like I already said this yesterday but few other relationships in fiction perfectly capture the gut wrenching heartbreak of having an intense homoerotic friendship and then having a messy falling out as teenagers

Thanks!!!

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead of the body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters. Imagine seeing the body and then going to the trial where the exisal was talking in his voice. It would be weird. I know for some people, not seeing the body meant that maybe both Kaito and Kokichi were alive and that they used another body to substitute a killing. After Monokuma revealed that it wasn’t possible to do so, I don’t remember anyone who acknowledged the body afterwards due to how the trial was going.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never saw Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and strict to the script that a dead boy wrote.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peer. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

I wanna watch challenges because the only two things I know about it is that tennis is somehow involved in the plot and there is supposedly a really graphic scene of Zendaya’s breaking her ankle(?) which was entirely done by a real-sized replica of Zendaya’s lower half and torso.

The director is from bones and all, a movie no one but me has seen so I’m expecting the movie to be secretly a horror movie. Also the writer was like some meme back in early YouTube before 2010?

It sounds promising to me at least.

NARUTO STANS I NEED YOUR HELP

I finished watching Naruto + Shippuden a few weeks ago and I’m so sad I put the show off for DECADES. I never watched it growing up despite watching a lot of anime and all my friends talking about it.

The only thing I knew about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and there was some bad guy with long hair.

Now that I’m into the fandom, I really wish I was in the loop while the show aired. Naruto seems to be forgotten by the general public and the fandom spaces seem really small. I vaguely heard all of the online discussion back in the day was on facebook or Naruto forums which are hard to access now.

I NEED THE KNOW THE TEA, EVERYONES THOUGHTS OF ANYTHING WHILE THE SHOW AIRED. Like what were the biggest theories, discussions, discourse, what did people think about the story, plot, characters, dub vs sub, anything. What were the community memes back in the day? What were peoples reactions to the arcs or major or minor plot lines.

Like what did people think about Sasuke ever changing outfits, or the five Kage summit arc, or the MEMES BACK IN THE DAY?!?!

I truly missed out and now no one really discusses this show outside of nostalgia because of Boruto. Oh also what did people feel about Boruto? And also the Naruto movies because there are like a dozen of them and the show aired for 15 years. What did people feel about the filler and flashbacks? How was the fandom like during anime cons or during the school yard/water cooler breaks with your workers if you were working when it aired?

Literally opening this discussion for word vomit and any and all thoughts.

IM JUST SO SAD AND HAPPY I WATCHED NARUTO AFTER IGNORING IT FOR SO LONG 😭

Y’all

Pyotr’s voice actor for his singing voice has a white guy singing with a slight Japanese accent. I can’t link the song dance tonight but notice how he says words like call like carr.
