Since I am all about that 'one line posts with random meme' thing of late. Here goes! Comment with a pairing or character from a fandom I know and I will, like, totally talk about it and stuff.
Naruto was, I think, one of the first times I came across a main shounen character who actually made me love them. It's funny too, because in a lot of ways the little booger is so damn stereotypical on a lot of counts--but...damnit Naruto COME HOME AND LET ME PET YOU AND FEED YOU RAMEN! Even if you'd probably eat the whole house. Something about his story still makes me wibble. The fact that he has an OMG painful past that he never really let's get him down--you ROOT for him. I think what I mourn about the series these days is the fact that it sort of...stopped being about him. If that makes sense? What I really banked on in the manga was well. BABY NINJA GROWING UP. Now it's just 'NOT SO BABY NINJA RUNNING PLACES' and that makes me sad because it's sort of taken a lot of heart out of it and replaced it with...running. and more running. and far too many damn generic reaction shots.
Naruto is like, everyone's kid brother. The one you want to kick for being such a little ass sometimes but at the same time you also want to put an arm around him and noogie him to death. While he curses you out. And possibly bites you.
Plus, yanno, he gave a teacher the finger in the first chapter of his series. That always, always won points with me.
