The film was first announced at the premiere screening of the latest Naruto film, The Last -Naruto the Movie-, where Masashi Kishimoto was present and answered questions. Kishimoto will be chief production supervisor for the upcoming 2015 film. He stated:

Even though the manga ended, I haven’t taken a break. I am currently thinking about a story between Boruto and Sarada. Sasuke and Sakura will be in it, too. I am also thinking about Boruto’s lethal technique.

Kishimoto will continue to work on the franchise until at least Summer 2015 before moving on to other works. Junko Takeuchi, the voice actress of Naruto Uzumaki stated:

“I can’t possibly guess what’s it about. But I’ll enjoy it.

The film will feature a new cast of characters that were revealed in the final 700th chapter of the original manga. Boruto is the son of Hinata Hyuga and the 7th Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. They also have a daughter named Himawari. Sarada Uchiha is Sasuke and Sakura’s daughter. There will also be a mini series manga releasing next Spring, following Naruto’s children and the new generation of Shinobi.

There has been no confirmation whether Kishimoto will be writing or illustrating the mini series, tentatively called Naruto. Additionally, a series of light novels from Akira Higashiyama, the scriptwriter of Naruto Shippuuden: Blood Prison, will be produced next year as well. The first light novel will be focusing on Kakashi Hatake. The novels will be published by Shueisha’s Jump j Books imprint. The new projects are part of the Naruto Shin Jidai Kaimaku Project (Naruto’s New Era Opening Project) and includes Naruto Shippuuden Movie 7 “The Last” , which just launched in Japan, and a Naruto Exhibition that will open in Japan early next year.

Here is a synopsis of the original series from Haruhichan:

Naruto Uzumaki, a hyperactive and knuckle-headed ninja, lives in Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf village. Moments prior to his birth, a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure and wreaked havoc. In order to put an end to the Kyuubi’s rampage, the leader of the village, the 4th Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn Naruto.

Shunned because of the presence of the Kyuubi inside him, Naruto struggles to find his place in the village. He strives to become the Hokage of Konohagakure, and he meets many friends and foes along the way.

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 8 – Baruto will be releasing in Japanese theatres on August 7th. Further information about the movie will be revealed at a later date.

Love Live Fans Get Drenched by Angry Commuter

The headline of this article may sound like an incredibly bad (or incredibly good, depending on your tastes) porn video, but rest assured, it’s not that exciting. What we have instead however is news of a recent trend in China where as a result of subway cars advertising the hit anime Love Live!, fans have taken to entering the subway station and prostrating before their idols.

Above we see said fans embarrassing themselves and their families by taking part in this strange ritual. Luckily for them their faces aren’t shown in the photos.

It seems like an innocent enough (albeit extremely weeaboo) display, but apparently it was causing problems, as these kneeling nerds were getting in the way of commuters getting onto and off the trains. As a result, one brave knight decided to rescue the waifus from their worshippers and rain watery justice down upon them.

“Nico is worst girl, get out!”

It seems like a rather harsh thing to do, but we all know that one guy who won’t shut up about waifus and memes, and will pull stunts like this with zero intention of seeming ironic. (We all know that one guy who claps his hands together and says itadakimasu~ before eating. Heck, I am that guy.) But now imagine all those one guy’s congregating in this one subway station, stinking it up for everyone else. Well, the aquatic assailant was justified in this case, some would say.

What do you think about this situation? Would you be annoyed by these rabid members of the fandom or would you be among them? Let us know in the comment’s section below! Until next time, Tomoki signing out!
