| Topic | Naruto is actually pretty good. |
| MrMelodramatic 07/15/19 12:09:49 AM #15 | I thought what made Kakashi unique was that he had never passed anyone who took his test, not that he had a test. Could be wrong, though. At the jonin (is that what theyre called?) meeting, it definitely looked like there were only nine rookie genin, so something happened to the other 18... So if they dont get sent back to the academy, and theres not enough for a full team, then occasionally 1-2 graduates have to take a year off and hope theres an off number of graduates next time. Sucks. Would also suck if you passed all the tests but theres 28 kids in your class who all passed so you get left behind. Would suck super hard if you graduated, got your headband, then found out two days later that the class clown who was held back twice did some extra credit and youre not actually a ninja anymore lmao. |

| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 11:52:58 PM #12 | Also the chunin exams are done (partly) to make sure one nation doesnt become super powerful.... but its not like failing the exam stops you from getting stronger and more skilled. They havent touched on Gaara yet, but they mentioned he did a B-Rank mission as a genin, which is impressive. So if low-ranking ninja can do high-ranked missions without passing exams first, theres not any actual regulation on ninjapower. idk man its whatever. Im liking the show. The background deets just dont add up for me sometimes. |

| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 11:48:07 PM #11 | And yeah, maybe its possible they graduate however many students and let the survival exercise trim that down to multiples of three. BUT. Kakashi passed all three of them without checking with anyone first, which seems unlikely to happen if they first needed to be sure of exact numbers. He was also willing to fail them all and expel them from the program, without first checking if an extra ninja or two were needed for another team. |
| Topic | Naruto is actually pretty good. |
| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 11:43:28 PM #10 | 27 students passed, and then I assume each of the nine teams had to do a survival exercise, like team seven did for kakashi. Before this squad, Kakashi had never passed a student, so I guess out of 27 students, only 9 stayed in the program. And all of them went to the chunin exams |
| Topic | Naruto is actually pretty good. |
| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 11:34:33 PM #7 | Hmmm I dont think youre right about that last part. Iruka seemed okay with passing only 26 students. It wasnt until two days after the pass/fail final test that Iruka passed Naruto (because of the whole shadow clone thing). Youre right that the teams themselves would be different, but I kinda doubt they retroactively failed a kid so that Naruto could graduate and they could keep the multiples-of-three number of new ninja. |

| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 11:25:23 PM #5 | aDirtyShisno posted... I think Kakashi made it quite clear that if one of them failed then they all failed. Thats why he wanted them to work as a team. I mean before that, at the academy. 27 students passed Irukas class and became genin, so they were able to make equal groups. But if Naruto had failed (like he did twice before), only 26 wouldve made it. So would one group be a teammate short? Wouldnt that completely mess up the whole groups-of-three international genin dynamic? |

And the two of them both have crushes on both a nerdy girl and their teacher - leads to lotsa wacky situations! Its kind of like Ouran High School Host Club, but with Ninjas. |
| Topic | Naruto is actually pretty good. |
| MrMelodramatic 07/14/19 10:42:31 PM #1 | Im in the middle of the Chunin Exams - Episode 33. I expected different of this show.... but Im pleasantly surprised. I also havent noticed any filler except for the recap episode at the end of Part One. I guess theres a few minutes of flashback most episodes, but its really not too bad. The only complaint I have is my suspension of disbelief is not buying how the whole ninja system works. The villages are cities within nations, basically military, and theres constant espionage and suspicion between villages (and so I assume also between the nations), but they allow children to take these dangerous exams in other nations to keep peace? And every nation has the same ninja hierarchy and graduation process? If Naruto had failed the exam in episode one, would Team Seven be short a person? And how old are these kids? I think Im one episode they mention Naruto was 12, but hes also 2-3 years older than his teammates, so are Sasuke and Sakura 10 year olds? But I just ignore all that stuff, mostly. Im really enjoying it. I appreciate Netflixs skip recap feature. |

| Topic | Do Cheers and Frasier hold up? |
| MrMelodramatic 07/12/19 9:46:59 PM #7 | Have any of you seen classic Roseanne? Do you like it more or less than Cheers? Theyre both sitcoms from around the same time, right? zebatov posted... The Frasier finale was garboni and some of the jokes are now dated due to them being about current events, but if you were around then they still might make sense. I'd give it an 8/10. Cheers is just as good in its own way, I just don't know as much about it. I was still in elementary school when Frasier ended, and not even born when Cheers was in the air so I guess some current event jokes could go over my head. Mead posted... Frasier absolutely holds up Have you seen Cheers? darcandkharg31 posted... Fraiser is still good shit, I watch it every once in awhile. Can you enjoy it without having seen Cheers and knowing the cast? Conner4REAL posted... Cheers absolutely That seems to be a pretty hot take. wwinterj25 posted... I guess. I wasn't a major fan of either though. Give me Only Fools and Horses anyday. Why not? |

| MrMelodramatic 07/07/19 9:27:44 PM #1 | I went to a wedding last night, and a lot of friends and acquaintances I made during college were there that I hadnt seen since December (when I graduated). So I just realized that was probably the last time I see most of them, since theyre either already graduated, graduating soon, or just not really in my day-to-day close friend group. Even the bride, who Ive seen pretty much daily for five years now, I most likely wont be seeing for a while. The student org I met most of them in has reunions, so I could run into them there, but if its a few years from now and Im still in this college town... <_< Ill be too embarrassed and sad to show up |
