I might actually become interested in the anime again now that it has left the fillers, but if the animation quality isn't excellent I'm sticking to the manga. For example, Bleach might have returned to the real storyline, but the recent episodes have been terribly animated.

With all of this talk of part two finally getting into the anime, I'm sort of wondering if the Kakashi Gaiden if ever going to be animated.
Although, I guess they could always save it for a "Naruto the Movie 5: Kakashi's Story."

I really hope that he shows us the new tricks because I myself was expecting a awesome battle with Kakashi but that didn't happen. Perhaps they'll show these new techniques gradually.

And don't worry, if the anime follows the manga correctly, you will get to see all of the more mature characters soon.

To be honest, the further Naruto has progressed the less I have thought of it. At this point I really don't believe the author has any overall idea where he's going. It seems he is doing things as they seem good to him, and unless he does something notable in a few chapters this will likely be my permanent view. But I'll keep reading it because I've already read so far and might as well finish.macguy wrote:That's a disappointment... Let me guess, the next time Naruto fights Sasuke he gets pwned? So, Naruto then realizes that he needs to train more or am I wrong? I hope so unless the battle turns out to be cool.
You know the shonen formula, it seems. Naruto says he's gotten a lot stronger, but other than improved stats (presumably, due to the opponents he fights) he doesn't really show this in any way. In fact, the only new jutsu we know he has is the "new perverted" jutsu he references in the beginning. That's kind of funny, now that I think about it.macguy wrote:Awesome, that's what I'm waiting for as well. How many episodes are there going to be in Naruto so far? If they follow the manga that is...
