One foot in the grave

Oh man. So 7 months have passed and the only thing that is growing in Zarosaki is the fungus collecting in the corner of the server from when I threw my crusty undies there and forgot about them.

Dat feel when you want to return to the glory days but you realise that neither you or your Zaro Bros really give enough fucks in the working week to care about busting your ass in front of the computer after doing the same thing all day long.

Still reading Naruto religiously is a good power-up for the mind during the working week, but our favourite of the favourites, Mangastream got the dreaded long black rubber fist of Viz-sting (Say that out loud.) And I dread the same will happen to us eventually. It was fun while it lasted, and some of the friends I have made over the years are still around thanks to facebook.

I still have grand visions of delusion when it comes to Zarosaki and I desperately hope we can still make it a wallpaper website. I surprised myself when I promised to change it into a wallpaper website, made the new design, got it into a sexy blog format, and then did… nothing. I love doing nothing.

Zarosaki will always hold a special place in my heart because it helped me build Photoshop and website skills which ultimately helped me to get a job that I am proud of. A large chunk of my teenage years spent on the Narutoverse, and that was something I will never forget. Times change, but we can only adapt to them.

TL;DR – I know I’m lazy, we know we’re lazy, we’re not dead yet, just reeeeeally lazy and maybe even a bit too much for our own good. Oh, and we’re going to remove all the Naruto chapters we have coloured in a few weeks. There are plenty of other sites hosting that stuff these days.

Kakashi Gaiden part 3

Kakashi Gaiden 3That’s right – Kakashi Gaiden Part 3. I know, Part 2 isn’t even released yet but I thought we should reward our dear faithful fans with some of their everlasting patience with us by releasing Gaiden 3 ahead of the “release schedule”.

Give a big hand to Naruto 1969 for being the most epic boss by colouring this chapter all by himself with some great cleaning assistance from some faithful Bros – Shade, CronosXIII and Poppet4439. You know who you are. Continue being awesome.

Download the chapter here, then kick ass and take names.

Chapter 288 by Moespinel

Chapter 288Yes, that’s right. A blast from the past in Moespinel, pulling out all the stops in yet another great chapter that brings all kinds of wonderful nostalgia to my heart.

Download the great chapter here and remember to give Moespinel more love than you can handle.

If your memory is a bit fuzzy when you travel this far back, this is the chapter where Naruto openly expresses his ultimate hatred for Sai, which appears to be totally brutal and blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.

Brand New Old School

This is a totally leet post, because it’s going to show you why we pulled our thumb out and actually got down to doing some decent work for once.

So now Zarosaki is somewhat of a wallpaper website, and all our existing chapters will still be available for the current foreseeable future, and we will hopefully get Kakashi Gaiden up to a completed state – then shift focus to being a wallpaper-centric website that aims to be a bit different than the norm – high quality colourings and renders of manga panels.

It’s been staggeringly high points for our group over the first few years, then Nation-of-Fustigation levels of low as not a single chapter past 375 was released in these last few years. The manga has well and truly surpassed us at the 500+ mark and we are barely ekeing out an existence here in the last year. Stay tuned as the activity over the next few months begins to pick up again and I’m sure that you will all come to remember Zarosaki as being your one stop for great colourings of fantastic manga.
