werehawk Wrote:Side note I sometimes get the feeling from some of the fragments of Naruto that I've watched that the series is set in a post civilization collapse setting...You have scattered elements of high tech gear and then you've got all this low tech or early industrial age stuff mixed in...
it seems to me like a lot of anime: they cherry-picked the technology they wanted to use and left the rest with no explanation.... the ninja have electricity, radios and tv, but no automobiles... and guns are rarer than hen's teeth, but not entirely unknown. i've seen some fanfic explain it away as post-apocalypse left-overs and others as "summoned" gear that they had to figure out how to use, but could not innovate or improve upon... in either case, i apply the bellesarius maxim and move on...
