Sadly, I can at least grasp the feeling behind this, even if it's disappointing. (I felt that Naruto's cast really lent themselves to your brand of humor) Still, I do agree. Naruto is part of an all too common genre of Anime and Manga-Namely, the genre that starts out really great and way overstays it's welcome. I've always felt that one of the best parts of Anime and Manga is that the stories come to a solid end, not drifting aimlessly on for years like some of the shows here.
But that may be just me. Anyway. I look forward to Further Chronicles of Liddo the Author!
Ooh. Nice xxxHolic avatar, by the way. It contrasts my lecherous old geezer picture nicely. *waggles bushy brows suggestively*
No, but seriously, you're right. To some extent. I don't mind the relative length of Naruto, honestly. What I found distasteful was that the focus seemed to be wavering in that the side-story (the adventures of Sasuke) is overtaking the main story (Naruto -- you know, the guy you slapped on the cover as being the title character, Kishimoto!) in terms of spotlight. This opinion could be a product of my own character prejudices, I'll admit, but I don't think I'm too far off the mark, regardless.
RAWR! PLUSH SMASH!!
Ahem. Anyway, enough griping on my part...
I have been scrambling around for varied series to use as possible writing sources and here's some of what I've got: School Rumble, Ranma 1/2, Fate/Stay-Night, and Full Metal Alchemist.
Outside of anime, I've also been dabbling in some original stuff as well.
Got any suggestions of your own, Bean? You know I've always got an open ear and
Yes, actually. I'm working on a Ranma - Fate/Stay Night fanfiction at the moment. It's called "Synnecrosis" and I've got two chapters posted on my FF.net account here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3780694/1/Synnecrosis
