The greatest chapter spoiler ever

[rejectedstalker.livejournal.com]

WOW, this place looks all spiffy now. Multiple mods too, rock on(Are you still taking applications? That's my dream job). I haven't visited LJ since that Harry Potter book came out(fear of spoiler bitches, y'know?). Anyways, this summary sounded fake at first, but there have been multiple confirmations and discussions on Japanese boards, so I'm now a believer. It will make you come.

( Spoilers. Obviously. )

With admin permission, I'm promotong here, see if anyone would want to contribute or refer anything Akatsuki-related for the page. the project is very new and so far it only has two posts. You can check it out here mangenkyou.

Voice of Heroes

[dv8nation.livejournal.com]

I think I'm in a unique position to offer a little insight into some of the complaints people are having about the dub clips.

I work in Japanese junior high as an assistant English teacher. I am surrounded by kids Naruto's age for about eight hours a day. So I can tell you that Japanese kids speak, in tone and inflection, very differently than American kids do. This become very clear when you try and get a Japanese kid to say an English word. The reverse is true. I have to shift the way my voice sounds somewhat when I speak Japanese to the students or my co-workers. It is the nature of speaking another language.

It's also worth noting that, despite what they might think, there are a good many English-speaking Naruto fans who are not pronouncing things the right way either. Pronouncing Japanese correctly takes a little practice and, I hate to say it, but watching anime is *not* the best way to learn how. It can help make your Japanese sound more natural once you understand the basics, but for getting the basics down classroom teaching is still the best.

As per usual with dubs, the actors will get better once they've got a few episodes under their belts and get more comfortable with the characters. Maybe the way things are pronounced will sooth out and maybe it won't. But it's pretty much a given the people making the show are taking note of fan reaction to the clips that have come out so far.

Kind of spoilery, I guess?

Naruto's on the Jump Cover this week. He looks badass.

Feel free to bite my head off, attack me with a soldering iron, or disfigure my face with a kunai if this post is out of whack. But I was wondering. You see, I haven't been following the anime for a few months because I had been waiting so unbelievably long for Kakashi Gaiden to come, that I got discouraged with the side stuff. /end dork.

So what I was really wondering is...Does anyone know when the "filler" (Using the world "Filler" as a loose term because there still is muchos of character developement, etc) will end and when Kakashi Gaiden shall take it's entrance? Or atleast, can anyone take a guess? I'm just so entirely impatient. D:

Thanks in advance for any information, theory, or opinion that you can offer me.
