In the mood for some anime style gaming? I have come accross some
pretty cool games in the ever popular Japanese Manga and Anime genere.
These are some are great looking games especially if you like anime. I
was visiting a Suncoast Video store a while back and I remember the kid
telling me that of all the DVD's in the store, anime is their number
one seller. Don't be surprised if soon we wont be seeing a flood of PC
anime and flash games. This has been popular on the Playstation for
some time, but really has not hit it on the PC yet.
So what or who is Naturo. First published in 1997, Naturo is a Japanse
manga series which has become exteremely popular in anime. Manga for
those who dont know is a style of comic graphics made popular in
Japan. If you have seen amime (which is the manga style in animation)
than you know what I am talking about.
The plot as per the Wikipedia..
Twelve years before the events at the focus of the
series,
the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the ninja village Konohagakure. It
raised
chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of Konohagakure
– sacrificed his own life to seal the demon inside Naruto when he
was
a newborn.
Konohagakure, however, regarded Naruto as if he were the demon
fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A
decree made by the Third Hokage forbade anyone to discuss or mention
the attack of the demon fox to
anyone. However, this did not stop them from treating him like an
outcast and as a result he grew up an orphan alone. However, that soon
changed after Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy by using his
Shadow Clone
Technique, a technique from a forbidden scroll that he was tricked
into stealing, to save his teacher, Iruka Umino,
from the renegade ninja Mizuki. That encounter gave Naruto two
insights: that he was the container of the demon fox, and that there
was someone besides the Third Hokage who actually cared for and
acknowledged him. The main story follows Naruto and his friends'
personal growth and development as ninja, and emphasizes their
interactions with each other and the influence of their backgrounds on
their personalities. Naruto finds two friends and comrades in Sasuke
Uchiha and
Sakura Haruno,two fellow young ninja who are assigned with him to form
a three-person
team under an experienced sensei named Kakashi
Hatake. Naruto also confides in other characters that he meets
throughout the series as well. They learn new abilities, get to know
each other and other villagers better, and experience a coming-of-age
journey as Naruto dreams of becoming the Hokage of Konohagakure.
Sounds really cool to me. This is definitly enough story to
dream up all kinds of cool flash games. So let me share a few links
with you. Some of the games are huge and take a while to load, but
visually they are great.
