Naruto Movie coming soon!! xd Count down: 0 days!!!!! (meaning it's here, geniuses. Xp)



The Naruto Movie's official homepage

Ahhhhh... not quite sure if anyone's heard this yet, but the Naruto movie is due to be in theatres about August 21 (source: www.narutofan.com). There is a link to the trailer located there, under the heading 'Another Naruto Movie Trailer'. You need real player to play it.

From the trailer, it looks absolutely gorgeous, and takes place somewhere... cold.. (haha, i'm observant), possibly in the Water Country. And there are number of new characters, and, of course, Team 07 with our number one surprising ninja, Naruto!

I'm not quite sure what the movie will be about, but, no matter, i'm positive it will be amazing!! (It looks like some of Kakashi's past might be revealed to us, but, i don't know Japanese, so that's not cemented until the movie's release.)

Also, the theme is entitleed 'Home Sweet Home' by the talented Yuki!! (source: again, www.narutofan.com). It's played on the trailer, and is very pretty.

Finally, it seems that attendees will get a special necklace that Naruto is seen wearing in an AD picture...



UPDATE!! July 28, 2004

PLOT REVEALED:

The movie is entitled "Daikatugeki!! Yukihime Ninpoujyou Dattebayo", translating as "It's the Yukihime's (Snow Princess) ninja arts book!!".

The story takes place in the Snow Country, revolving around the tragety that took place there, when the leader, Sousetsu,was killed by his younger brother, Dotou. His daughter, Koyuki, fled afterwards, taking the crystal that was given to her.

Ten years later, Dotou is leader and trying to strengthen his army so he can challenge the 5 great Shinobi countries.

At the same time, in Konoha, sometime after the Chuunin Exam, Team 7 has been assigned mission. They are to escort popular actress Fujimi Yuki to the Snow Country to film a movie. However, when they get there with her, they are attacked...

There is also a second story plot revolving around a competition in Konoha involving many of the Leaf Genins.

Quote:

"There will be a stop in publishing due to author collecting data." - source: manga chapter 224, last page, as translated by the group "Inane"

How long will Kishimoto Masashi need to collect data? When will the manga pick back up for publishing??? How long until the anime catches up with the manga? Will the fight continue now that the prolonged Flashback scene appears to be ended?

Questions questions...

According to a member in my anime club, This usually means a 2 week break. I hope he's right....

NEWS:

After the current plot arc with Tsunade, it is my understanding that the anime will begin to deviate from the manga by having it's first 'filler' episode story arc. I do not know how long this will last, nor do I know what it will be about.

ANd I believe I must thank Kyou's "The Naruto Guild" for this news. *trying to remember where she got it*

(Go to that naruto guild for summeries of the most recent manga chapters and anime episodes!)

News: Chapter 225 of the manga is out! Kishimoto is done collecting data I guess. biggrin

Anime licensing news?

There was one article posted on ANN (Anime News Network) but fans say that the article is fake. Some people believe though and others hope that Naruto is licensed. I sure hope it's not licensed.  

[shinimegami42]

naruto manga volume 4 has been released by viz now... just saw it in barnes and noble today.

oh, and that article has been proven as a fake.  

[Drake Dragonwing]
