Naruto is DEAD, Long live POKEMON!

Well, it finally happened. Naruto is dead. By dead, I mean that Dattebayo is no longer subbing it. Take a look at the “Quick FAQ.” Pokemon Diamond & Pearl apparently kicked Naruto’s ass so hard that it was sent reeling into a sparkle in the sky. Yeah, thats pretty much what happened. I think someone threw a pokeball somewhere in there as well but I wasn’t really paying much attention because both shows suck.
Blogging Naruto
In general, I’m not really sure if I should be happy or sad that DB dropped Naruto. This gives me a chance to stop watching that awful piece of shit. Then again, I might still blog it for shits ‘n giggles as usual, because what about all the Naruto fans? It might even be more fun to “make up” some of the plot as well. I’m pretty sure it won’t stop me from bashing the damn show either. (Will I EVER stop bashing the show? No…not really)
I don’t typically do blogs FOR people, but if anyone wants me to keep blogging I definitely will. Otherwise, I will most likely drop the series in a few episodes due to inability to completely comprehend what happens. This also means that my blog entries will be a little lacking. Another possibility would be to blog the manga, shrug. (should I do so anyways?)
I feel bad for anyone who might still enjoy this show. I really love the show, but it seriously has taken a turn for the worst with these fillers. If any readers haven’t gotten a hold of the manga yet, I’d suggest you do so.

question: will they pick it up again if the fillers stop? It seems to be a money related issue so I dunno.
Yeah, I assume they would. It wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t since their name IS Dattebayo (naruto’s phrase). I wonder if other subbers would startup if Naruto ended fillers. I’m not sure if I’m hardcore enough to blog the show without subtitles, we’ll see though.
[…] Uh-huh, it’s true. Check the news on their website. Naruto has been dropped by Dattebayo due to financial reasons or something like that. In it’s place; Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Do I care about any of this stuff? Not really. Well, this also presents the chance that Bleach will be dropped too, but I wouldn’t really mind that much, since the fillers are ending and I’ve read the manga so yeah…I discovered this news from Retsgip, and he presents an interesting point about whether he will continue blogging it. Well, I will apply this to Bleach. If it does get dropped, I will continue blogging no matter what. But to get back to the subject of Naruto, I’m not sure of the exact reason for the financial issue behind it getting dropped. I wonder if they will resume it if the fillers end. Will the increase in Naruto’s popularity when the fillers end have any impact on this issue? Well anyway, off to watching some more anime! […]
Uh yeh, it says here:
# Q: Will you start so release naruto again when it resume the main story?
# A: No.
Money related issue? How’s it a money related issue, unless they are being paid to go over to pokemon.
Who knows how serious they are… but that said, I can’t say that I’m too upset.
That just goes to show just how crap Naruto fillers are.
The way its going, I’d hedge my bets and say that it will never return to the main storyline.
YHBT
It’s a money issue because they need equipment or some shit like that to keep subbing.
Guys - don’t panic. Re-read the news article - “best course of action was to drop* the show Naruto.” You see that star at the end of “drop”? At the bottom of the page, it’s made clear that * = YHBT = You Have Been Trolled
-gaspu- I still enjoy Naruto! I hope they’re joking, of that someone picks it up even it’s true @_@;
Dattebayo is the only fansubbing group which offered professional subtitling or captioning services to earn more money as far as I am concerned. How can they just say that they are dropping Naruto for some financial problem? Unless if all of the subbers’ computers crashed, then it would be another story. =\
Lalala, I’m still laughing at the YHBT thingie. Yay, I learned a new jargon/meme!
Haha ;p Okay okay, enough joking.
If this ever DOES happen, I’d probably drop the show unless asked to blog(which I doubt would ever happen). This does in fact bring up an issue though, and a scary one for Naruto and Bleach fans who can’t understand Japanese. If the only group that subs these long-ass shows drops them, where does that put the viewers? I gotta hand it to them for subbing shitty shit for so long.
Thats basically what I was going for, obviously I didn’t joke enough. Darkshaunz should have known something was up with this when I asked him to find a picture ASAP. lol. (seriously though I hope they’re joking, lol) Caio~
Oh man rofl narutards everywhere must be crying
I still flip through Naruto but no longer really “watch” it lol
[…] All of this on the eve of when Dattebayo, a fansub group, declares that they are dropping Naruto to sub the new Pokemon series. With YHBT involved, it’s probable it’s just a joke, but with no Naruto episode this week, it’ll be hard to tell if validity of this until next week. Surely they must’ve heard the news of Naruto TS starting soon and decided to scare the crap out of dedicated Naruto anime fans like me xD If I knew where people got their darned raws I might be alittle fine but I’m at a loss xP (News heard from Danny-san and Retsip.) […]
at narutofan.com they say that it is Confirmed that naruto part 2 will start in February by changing name into Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles - which appears to play reference to Naruto being a Wind Element user go their and read it at narutofan.com is something you can be sure of its news dont lose hope every one naruto will be back to blow every other anime and make them look like crap
its true its true i Confirmed it from http://en.wikipedia.org i am going to cry believe me every one this is the truth it really going to end soon
lol, yeah its confirmed but naruto has already lost a majority of its fanbase anyways. They’re about 40 episodes too late.
every one will return to naruto again once naruto part 2 start and it will have a larger fanbase i have seen many anime but naruto still the best in every aspect
>They’re about 40 episodes too late.
Haha is that worse than being 1000 years too early? It is a real labor of love to keep fansubbing these fillers, as I assume this means they actually have to watch each episodes multiple times.
@querty: Yeah, well I’m sure people will watch for awhile, but I doubt they’ll be as enthusiastic as they once were. The time-skip story has SOME good parts, but I’m not sure it’s quality is the same level as the pre-filler arcs.
@kabitzin: Lol, It’s a level of pain and suffering that you could not even begin to comprehend, even with 1000 years of intensive pondering and meditation. Also, information like “subbers watch these shitty episodes multiple times” is so depressing. Christ, thats like actively volunteering yourself for torture.
LOL! you all suck!
FAILURES THE LOT OF YOU!
thanks for being so specific. I have no doubt we are all loser for even watching naruto so I guess we can’t get much worse…
wait, “did you call me a failure…” *rolls eyes*
I falled for their trick!! When I first saw the news I was really shocked and started to panic.
Naruto is’nt dead you idiot if he was dead then why is the manga still going on in Japan. Just because he died in one movie does’nt mean he’s dead.Neji and Choji died , but they were revived later so before you go on your rant on how Naruto is dead use your head.
scuse me, what’s datte bayo?
You are so right
NICKS A GAY ASS QUEER FAGET LOL JK JK JK he cool ish
So, is naruto gonna keep coming or what? D:

u can find naruto shippuuden here with GREAT quality
I think the pokemon thing has been dragged on to long. Its the same thing over and over and….
I can’t believe that people keep pokemon watching it. I loved the original. But this new CRAP is worse than all the Naruto fillers.
