We’d like to congratulate obitobi for winning our second guest strip contest! As before I had to tweak the text a bit to fit into the framing. I offer my thanks to all the great submissions we received! You guys were great!

What’s that? The anime isn’t done? Looks like there’s something called “Shippuuden” starting next week. Some kind of one hour special kicks it off, apparently it’s about Naruto when he comes back to Konoha after training with Jiraiya… 😉

Joking aside, Shippuuden starts next week and we have summaries by way of Pazuzu. It’s also unclear whether the series is a continuation or whether the numbering starts over. Japanese TV guide sites are going both ways, we may have to wait a week or so to see what TV-Tokyo says.

Episode 220 has aired in Japan, this marks the last Naruto episode. Yes, I know it’s sad. This is the last Naruto episode ever, it was a good run, the last two years have been beyond awesome. How can you forget the time Naruto peed on Ino or that time Akamaru went rabid and humped Naruto’s butt? So many awesome moments where Studio Pierrot took the series to the next level. Characters like Raiga and the multiple Houki’s, all fully-fleshed out characters with great emotional subtext and motivation. Who can forget the times Naruto took on powerful enemies and chose to attack them with kunai rather than Rasengan, or that time he chose to use Rasengan when his boat lacked a motor? Who can forget all those new exotic lands, like the Bear Country, with it’s power hungry Hoshikage or the Vegetable and Bird Countries, with their cross-dressing female leaders? Who can forget those evil groups full of powerful ninja, like Shinobazu, the Fuuma trio, the Kamizuru, the Criminal Brothers, the Shitenshounin and all those wandering ninja. Such a good run. We salute you Tiger Mizuki, may your orange fur never fade and may your cereal always be GRREEAAT!
