[OOC] Shinobi: The Ninja Way

[Rin]

Okays, um...

So me and Raineh may have sort of kind of decided that Ayaka and Wakana are dating maybe.

[Gokiburi7]

I dunno - I enjoyed Shippuden. It has a lot of flaws, true, but there are also some great moments there too!

Then again, there is always the filler to take into consideration... 0_p

Also, dating? D'AWWWW! Are you on the same team? If so, then the other member is going to be the ultimate third wheel..

[Raineh Daze]

Hasn't the author admitted he can't do girls?

But in Japan it is exclusively a female name, and this uses Japanese naming conventions. ...I honestly thought you'd intentionally given him a girl's name for some reason.

Aki sounded more like a boy's name to me, in many country, names that usually end with an 'e' sound usually are boy names. damn it Japan, why can't you just follow everyone else's naming system.

I agree.Naruto currently is becoming boy centric and kinda gay since Shippuden started.Let's make this the best Naruto rp and have gender equality! Female villain for starters!

Shonen is made mostly for boys which is why shows like DBZ, Naruto and many others are very boy centric, Shojo is the magazine that is geared towards girls.

As long as it doesn't distract them in the field Daisuke won't care.

Yeah, Kishimoto said that but if you look at his manga Mario, he is pretty good at handling girls, it is Seinen.
Kishimoto also didn't have a honey moon lol

in my opinion, Naruto may be boy centric but his female characters were at least pretty well characterized. I mean compared to DBZ, they at least could do stuff like fight the bad guys. it is Kishimoto's story not ours so he as the creator has the right to write it in whatever way he feels it should go.

[Masaki Haruna]

Lol but it doesn't change the fact that it ain't handled properly, this ain't DBZ and it is change but yeah I agree and everything has flaws.

The Naruto and Sakura's Sasuke obsession ain't realistic and it is borderline psychotic level in real life.

lol. I actually really liked Shippuden, I thought it was very nice to see an anime that didn't have black and white characters because that can be a trend in many shonen series. what i liked most about shippuden was that the battles weren't really between good and evil, it was more like conflicts between ideologies. this makes it relevant to our world because we are very combative when it comes to what we think is the right way. so i applaud Kishimoto for having such gray villains and giving them very interesting layers to their character. my one complaint with Shippuden was how a lot of the villains were one hit wonders and that the fights became a little too technical.

[Raineh Daze]

This is about as morally grey as a piece of paper. There isn't much grey in 'I have gone crazy because of grief, thus I am going to effectively become God to make things how I want'. It's megalomania. Not grey. Not grey at all.

how exactly is it not grey? he wanted to bring peace, yeah it was peace through power but his intentions were the right way in his mind. as i said, everyone believes that their way is the right way and will many times demonize those who believe otherwise. what is grey in your opinion?

[Raineh Daze]

Not viewing mind controlling the entire world to fit YOUR desires as acceptable is a good start.

[Rin]

...Okay yeah, uh. There's nothing grey about that at all. That's just plain evil.

[Gokiburi7]

I always found that the side characters made the show. There were so many, that it helped to keep things sort of diverse - even through hours of abysmal filler!

[Rin]

That was one of the main reasons I dropped the manga, honestly; there were a whole bunch of characters I actually liked, but they were pushed off to the side so that Kishimoto could focus on characters I didn't like, eg. Sasuke. Uuuugh, Sasuke. How I loathe thee.

...Anyways, on a... Related? Unrelated? I don't know anymore... point, I always got my fix of morally grey shonen from Gundam. XD

i wasn't saying it was good, i said his desires were good in HIS mind. that is grey. Madara was not always a villain, he was a good person during the early parts of his life. if he was a one dimensional villain then he would have been bad from the get go and his only reasons for his plan were to rule the world. I am also going to point out that Pain is a very grey villain, and that you can somewhat sympathize with him. he lost his parents in a war that had nothing to do with his country besides the fact that the Great Nations were using it as a battleground to keep their homes safe, and he shows that the bigger nations needed war to keep their systems working, as he said it was a cycle of war and hatred.

in our world there are people who call themselves Freedom Fighters and kill innocent people because in their mind they are vanquishing evil. the fact is, most people who commit horrible acts believe that what they are doing is right. the concept of right and wrong is a human thing and is all up to interpretation. i'm not saying what the villains were doing was right, i am just pointing out that their intentions were grey. if you want black and white then Hiden and kakuzu were the black and white villains.

i find it funny how we got into a philosophical discussion on a Naruto rp lol

[Rin]

Just because you have good intentions doesn't make you a good person. What do they say the road to hell is paved with, after all?

since when did you have to be a good person to be gray?

Still waiting on the GM or Co-GM to approve or disprove my CS. He is located at the end of the 11th page. I really don't want him to get lost in sea of OOC Post's.
