TV Tokyo to Pull the Plug on Naruto Shippuuden due to Decreased Viewership - AnimeCrazy.net Forums

April fools....yep, it was just an April Fools joke. Naruto Shippuuden will continue airing NEXT THURSDAY
with episodes 103 and 104.

THIS WAS THE APRIL FOOLS JOKE

TV Tokyo has pulled the plug on the massive cash cow known around the world as Naruto Shippuuden. After Narutos' almost record breaking 220 + 102 episode run the show's magic seems to have disappeared, as Japanese viewers simply aren't interested anymore.

ANN went deep into Japan to understand why this was done despite the staggering number of Naruto fans in america and across the world was still quite staggering. We were lucky to get an interview with Hayao Miyazaki, the maker of the legendary movies Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away let us know exactly why Tv Tokyo pulled the plug on Naruto Shippuuden, "Kids now a days, simply want hand drawn pictures, decent story line, and most of all no more fillers. What real Japanese like me want are more classical shows like Pokemon and Digimon as well as the anime all kids love...my Future Kid Conan to name a few." So with that news it does seem like Tv Tokyo will actually be showing 2 NEW seasons of pokemon to replace naruto. What may have started as the filler lover century, may end as a century of card game based shows like YugiOh Digital Card Revolution and Pokemon: Got to collect all 3 thousand while driving around on a motorcycle and dueling in battle stadiums 2.

Well it's good to know that we will be streaming these awesome new shows at AC as usual.
