Kishimoto does something right.

very very very right.

Normally this would go right into the Manga thread but the Naruto forum has been so dead lately because of Naruto being **** that I felt the need to start a new thread.

Loooooooooooooooooooooook:



Hinata filled out!!! Hinata has now become the hottest girl in Konoha. Thats great BUT it gets better, then kinda worse but still cool:
 

How ****ing cool does Shino look?? Very.



Normally I'd just miss Kiba out because he sucks but check out Akamaru!! Puppy to massive wolf in 2 years!!


Discuss this greatness, full page shots for each I mean not even Neji and Lee got individual enterance pages. Im al excited, heres hoping they get to do something cool. Like Hinata is an even more powerful Hyuuga than Neji due to her being in the main family and getting training at the same time. That would be great.

[Mr. Knobsworth]

Nice. Shino is such a creep. Awesome.

[Pockymon]

Would have liked Hinata to have a cooler looking uniform, but oh well.

Shino looks like he's about to bust out a rap.

Kiba and Akamaru look good.

very nice!

every week leaves me wondering though:  there's gotta be someone in japan with a shonen jump and a scanner.  whats up with the pictures of the pages as opposed to actual raw scans?

[Nasferatu Alucalb]

Freakin' sweet!

[BloodyDead]

Holy **** that is so damn cool, thanks so much for sharing.

<3 Hinata

From personnal experience in scanning up manga it goes a little something like this.

Shounen Jump like all weekly mangabons, is huge and fat. A Scanner is flat. To get the pages to lie completely flat on the scanner surface you need to cut them out of the actual book and then scan them. That would then ruin your issue of Jump! Plus its much much easier to just take a snap shot. There will be high quality scans released but they take a little while longer to turn up. The Japanese love their Jumps to much to damage them, as did I when I was scanning up my Naruto Art Book in high quality.

[Pockymon]

It doesn't make all that much sense, because JUMP is cheap to begin with. I think they don't scan because 1) the Japanese have weird ideas of what conservation is and 2) if everyone bought 2, might cause a bit of a supply/demand problem, but then again, most Japanese aren't scanslators...

[absolutezero]

Thats exactly where the higher quality scans come from these crappy pictures are most likely taken on the subway with a phone or something and then upped as soon as whoever bought it gets home.

Plus you gotta have a scanner aswell, and scanners take up a fair bit of space seeing as how they need to be flat with nothing on top of them. That space could be taken up by figures or dvds or huggy pillows...
