Nargis looks back on her year with Naruto

•

Anime UK News’s regular contributor Nargis Ahmad has chosen to look back on the year 2007 in her own unique way, by penning “My Year with Naruto“; another heart-felt editorial looking back on her introduction to the ever-prominent and ninja-star-throwing action series that finally premiered in the UK during 2007, some 5 years after it first started making waves in Japan.

“One of the most amusing moments happened whilst Naruto gave one of his now famous speeches. You know the one I mean. The, “One day I will be Hokage and then everyone will have to respect me,” speeches. At which point, my mother tells me that I should be more like Naruto. Needless to say, I was left speechless. Me? Be more like Naruto? She must be joking… right?” [“My Year with Naruto“]

It’s non-stop manga adaptation episodes, with … Continued

Geeks, Otaku & Weeaboos: The language and range of fandom

“Those of us who are geeks, OK, real geeks, who earned our geekhood at school through sweat and loneliness and wedgies will no long stand idly by and watch our geekly identity taken from us be people who think geekhood is nothing more than wearing cute glasses and an asymmetric fringe – particularly not when … Continued

Naruto Shippuden – Box Set 27 Review

Naruto Shippuden presses onwards in the 27th two-disc “box set”, featuring episodes 336 – 348. As with any kind of long-running series, you get some chunks of episodes that are mostly wasteful filler, then sometimes you get a batch of episodes that move the main plot along and are generally really good, and thankfully that’s … Continued
