yeah but kai.....
the neji vs kimimaro fight took place around the same time as the neji vs naruto fight did in the anime

this would be chapter 193 vs episode 61
now we're on chapter 248 vs episode 122

in a matter of 61 weeks, the ratio changed from 3.16 to 2.03


....to tell you the truth......
i have no idea what that means [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

uchiha barles: i know, i was one of them who did that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


EDIT: ok, i decided to go through the math once again....so here's what i have....

First of all, the functions for anime and manga releases are the simple slope formula y=mx+b
the b variable is replaced with the # of episodes/chapters already out since last week
the m variable is 1, since only 1 episode/chapter is released per week

Anime:
122+t=A(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
A(t) = total # of anime episodes at week "t"

Manga:
248+t=M(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
M(t) = total # of manga chapters at week "t"

Ratio:
M(t) = A(t) * (208/122)
M(t) = A(t) * (104/61)


Next step is to combine these 3 functions into 1 function

first, since both Manga and Ratio functions are solved for M(t), we'll combine these:
248 + t = A(t) * (104/61)
(248 + t)(61/104) = A(t)

now that we have this solved for A(t), we can combine it with the Anime function:
(248 + t)(61/104) = 122 + t
(1891/13) + (61/104)t = 122 + t
(305/13) = t - (61/104)t
(305/13) = (43/104)t
t = 56.74 weeks

so there ya have it......at the rate its going, the anime will catch up to the manga in march of next year
