An Akatsuki's Life

An Akatsuki's Life is an Hungarian Web animation series created using Movie Maker and Ms Paint, by Dani Fekete. The videos can be found at Naruto-kun.hu and YouTube, which also has several episodes subtitled in English. The series is basically an Affectionate Parody of Naruto', that follows the life of the villainous organisation Akatsuki, but contains countless references to several completely random works. Some episodes are also parodies of well known movies. The plot sticks loosely to the original Naruto story line (from Akatsuki's perspective of course) and is of a generally Lighter and Softer tone.

Now with a character sheet.


 * A Day at the Bizarro: Episode 20 starts with everyone waking up with a hangover after a getting stoned from smoking Zetsu. It appears Pein has slept with Hidan, Kisame is white, Elton and Leo have become humans, Nagato turned into a frat boy, Itachi lost his ear, Konan grew a tail, Samehada turned into a chocolate bar, a Balrog is sitting on the toilet, and a pair of 'liberalist rainbow bunnies' are doing it in the yard.
 * This is later implied to be a hoax,.
 * Affectionate Parody: of Naruto of course. But there are several other works getting parodied as well.
 * All Just a Dream: Two instances in the movie. First it's played with in a scene involving Sasori and a talking pimple. The second happens at the end when Orochimaru destroys the HQ..
 * Animation Bump: episode 27 has a surprisingly higher frame rate than previous episodes.
 * Brick Joke: At the beginning of episode 20, Hidan mentions he had a dream involving "liberalist rainbow bunnies". At the end of the episode, they're in the yard.
 * In episode 24, Hidan is blown up and buried. In episode 27, a Cutaway Gag has him climb out of the hole just in time to be hit by one of Deidara's bombs.
 * The Cameo: Mostly it's characters from Naruto. Then there's the Alien, a Predator, Kenny, Several characters from Dragon Ball and even the main character of Ben 10.
 * Since the third intro, the opening credits for each episode feature several random cameos, as part of a contest: the first four people to identify all 12 of them would get their own cameo in episode 29.
 * Raziel shows up challenging Pein for a duel, mistaking him for Cain. He's blasted away by one of Pain's shockwaves, and is never mentioned again.
 * Deidara was traumatized after seeing Equus on television. Especially by one specific wand-related innuendo dropped by a character for some reason.
 * Episode 31, features cameos from Vegeta, Hulk as well as the four contest winners (though one of them was actually an OC of the fourth contest winner).
 * Cerebus Syndrome: Probably starts with the last 10 minutes of The Movie when . The series has been following the original work a lot more closely, but not without ditching comedy entirely.
 * Chekhov's Gun: All of the unexplained anomalies in episode 20 are brought up again in episode 29, where it's revealed that they were caused by a dimensional rift in the toilet.
 * Continuity Nod plenty, similarly to the Shout-Out below. A few notable one:
 * When Leo and Elton
 * The thing with a moving puppet-Nagato and puppet-Konan, Nagato built in The Movie as a present for Konan, appear much later when they.
 * In Episode 30 when Tobi runs into the Eight man squad searching for Itachi and Sasuke, Naruto asks Yamato whether Tobi was the same guy whom he helped to defeat the Half-Headed Dragon. Yamato dismissed the idea, because "that guy wore a scarf"
 * Death by Cameo: Goku and Krillin appear on Hidan's bounty list.
 * Dream Within a Dream: Sasori falls asleap in a dance club and has a dream involving a talking pimple. He wakes up, releaved that it was only a dream. Then the talking pimple shows up again, and he wakes up in the club, releaved, and remarking that this was a very tricky dream. Then the talking pimple shows up AGAIN, and he wakes up in cold sweat (for real this time).
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Suigetsu first appears in a flashback in episode 7.
 * Freaky Friday Flip: A three episode arc has an accident involving "misfortune cookies" has this happen to everyone, except Zetsu and Yoropiko (who only switch sides) and Leo and Elton, who (being ghosts and all) simply switch places.
 * Homage: The episode '8 meters' is an homage to '8 Mile'. It even features a parody of Eminem's The Real Slim Shady.
 * Episode 10 is both an Homage to the Hungarian Folktales animated series, and a parody of folktales in general.
 * Macho Camp: Kakuzu gets locked up under unknown circumstances. His cellmate is a mucle-bound hairy thug dressed like Bubbles
 * Medium Blending: When Sasuke uses his Sharingan in episode 29, the entire scene is rendered in 3D.
 * The Movie: More like 3 or 4 consecutive episodes without the title sequences, but are more closely tied together than other arcs.
 * Nightmare Face: Jiraiya makes one when claiming he's necrophiliac.
 * Prison Rape: Kakuzu is nearly raped by his cellmate while in prison. It doesn't end well.
 * Rapid-Fire Comedy: A standard method of operation, often involving references to other media.
 * Sentai: The Power Peins.
 * Running Gag: Deidara's hands causing damage in the Akatsuki mansion, which then he has to repair. Subverted in the first episode when it was Kisame who detonated a bomb, and then framed Dei' for it. Also on two occasions Leonidas (the right hand) caused damage indirectly, without using explosives:
 * Shout-Out: Way too many to list but some deserve a special mention.
 * Hanzo's speech is a direct reference to former Hungarian prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany.
 * Kisame and Sasori behave a lot like Scooby Doo and Shaggy in the episode with a sleepwalking Kakuzu.
 * Deidara's right hand is called Leonidas. And This Is SPARTA!!!
 * Itachi bonding with Sasu2 then later getting killed and resurrected by Kisame.
 * Tobi's mask was briefly re-painted to look like The Annoying Orange.
 * While buried, Hidan was menaced by Worms.
 * Kisame finds Langoliers in the toilet. Dissatisfied, he decides to jump in and catch a fish with his teeth, reminding us all that there's always a bigger fish.
 * This Was His True Form: Orochimaru's true form is young Michael Jackson
 * The Un-Reveal: In Episode 20, Tobi is found with only a paperbag on his head. Hidan pulls off the bag, revealing the singer of an Hungarian band. Then the real Tobi shows up still wearing his mask... with slight modifications.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: While in his true form, Orochimaru's big weakness is apparently a white hood.
