Naruto manga 387
Fri, Feb. 1st, 2008 21:49Firstly:
I've discovered that part of my loss of enjoyment to the manga can be blamed on the spoilers. I don't read the spoiler translations anyway because without a picture they're just too easy to misunderstand. But the spoiler pictures are almost always THE most pivotal thing to happen in the whole chapter. So I get to see them with no buildup of emotional connection, and I'm all "oh, that will be shiny to see in context" except when the context arrives, there's no surprise, no shock, no emotional response -- I already know what happens and so my reaction is more like "ho hum" than "omg!"
So yeah. No more spoilers for me, because they really do spoil it.
now let's see how long I manage to hold my infernal curiosity on a leash.
( Secondly: My super-special, deeply insightful analysis of this chapter )
