[Anime] Naruto

Yeah Im definately satisfied. So satisfied that i want to see some fillers XD.

Spoiler:

Looks like the children's episode is finally coming to an end...kurado >=p.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Trust me. You will ;p. Despite the crappyness that are the fillers (this goes for bleach as well) You can't let go the fact that you want to see great fights such as Naruto vs Orochimaru or Sasori vs...Chiyoba- yeah.

FELIPE NO

Also, good riddance to trash Akatsuki guy. He was by far the most boring of the batch so far.

Spoiler:

I was really hoping for Shikamaru to kill someone in that chapter. Now I know that he's a real wuss. Everytime he's in a fight, he gets help from other people. He's a great strategist but there's always that one person to come to the rescue. Now its Kakashi (here i thought Temari was going to interfere like before).Still, it should've been him.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Spoiler:

That's basically what I think and Kakashi wil have alot more in his hands with Kakazu. That only means Shikamaru can focus on one person and not two. Thank god

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They released a small-gay cm of the new animated arc. Hopefully we get a longer one sometime later..

What concerns me is that they mention nothing about Kakashi Gaiden.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Damn. You actually sat back and watched those damned fillers? You.are.A.Trooper o.o.

Another thing I noticed about Shippuden is that it's going to hit theatres. so wtf?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Easy. It means Feb 15.

I say hell yeah. But I'll still be disappointed at the fact that we waited so long for this.

Most amazing jew boots

Since we're somewhat on the same issue of season 2. Only one voice actor was announced (or probably one of ANN's lousy prediction.) for Akatsuki's Deidara. Wasabi MIZUTA it is!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...le.php?id=2147

I am not familiar with her voice BUT Bonta-kun is all i can remember. So if she's done with Deidara then this can also reveal that he is a young Akatsuki member. Maybe.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I can see how they seperate a brand new series from the other. With good reason obviously.

Recent Chapter

Spoiler:

What I saw was just gold by Shikamaru. Hidan already had too much spotlight. More than Sasori at that. He was getting boring so someone had to finish him off. Shika is now a greater hero than his usual boring mood. All that leaves now is Kakuzu. What will Naruto do? XD

How ya doing, buddy?

There's always a late arrival for Naruto Chapters.

Spoiler:

I'm sure we heard of all the bullshit about Naruto's new move being a carbon copy of Kienzan (Destructo Disc). Other than that, I'm glad that their killing off those two akatsuki people. Stealing all that spotlight and not revealing the other Akatsuki member and Leader is going a little too far. Not just that but the other members have to show their own tricks as well.


It might be late saying this but I think it's Kakashi who's picturing Naruto as the 4th Hokage. Maybe he surpassed him perhaps?

FELIPE NO

As long as the repeated commercials that come up (After the episode) says 2-15-07. Then we're fine. The other one is probably a movie or something.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

A fair OVA would do it just fine as jouhou said.

Recent Chapters

Spoiler:

Naruto takes down Kakazu with a heavy ass shuriken rasengan from above. From what I saw, Naruto is still a baby who can't handle his own power fully. But hey, he is the main character so..


Looking at the first page of it makes me think that those two will finally meet for one last battle. I just hope sasuke or naruto don't die. He needs a piece of Itachi so I dont think Kishimoto will kill him off so easily.

In other related news, AnimeOne's back from the dead and will also work on Naruto. Not like it matters as much since Dattebayo have about the same perfect quality AonE had back when they were with ANBU.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just checked out the OP and ED of Naruto Shippudan. Bout time we get something from Dj Mitsu >=]. Definately a killer. The ending theme isn't so bad either. I'll upload right away.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/c66r91

You can almost see Chiyo and Sasori at the 47 second mark. The rest is just sweet with akatsuki at the end.

edit : scratch that, I think it was kankuro's weapon or something =/. But chiyo's there ;p.

Additional Spam - There was no raw out yet but someone at NF found links on youtube. There is no part 3 so no worries.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVZsSQZ010A - part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG5gM_1V_r0 - part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFOsR1T0NHU - part 4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgmUuvs6zE4 - part 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQuZqzErbo0 - part 6


EDIT 3 : I think I'm sensing something here. They exposed most of the shit happens chapters later but it's all good I guess. Good to see it widescreen too! We need some Kurado in this thread now =/.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The commercials were funny though. Especially the Kakashi one.

Yes Im definately going to convert the sasori fight and watch it on the big screen >=]. I forgot but :

Spoiler:

Does Sai show up before or after Sasori's Fight?

How ya doing, buddy?

I didn't bother with the fillers ,period. Except for that Laughed Shino episode ;p. DB and SD-Project released their versions. SD looks a tad bit better than DB so get that one.SD said something about a version 2 so we'll see how that one is.

omnislash - unfortunately, it is ;p.

edit : Gave this a 2nd watch. Seriously, the music makes me think about Kenshin's music.

-yaiba-
Toshio Masuda
Yasuharu Takanashi

Don't know who Yaiba is but Takanashi is a composer who worked on ShinHokuto no Ken OVA and Jigoku Shoujo. Definately a good thing.

EDIT : I have two of the same screenshots from both subgroups.

DB



And here of course SD-Project.



Winner : SD-Project.

DB's have that fuzziness under Sasuke's eyebrow while SD's looks more cleaner. So lets stick with SD til AonE comes back.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And here I thought people loved FLCL animation. I guess they only used them for fast-paced fighting or something. The least they can do is make it widescreen and convince me that it's awesome quality. In the end, it doesn't matter. Only today's episode, Everyone has big eyes in the beginning. Nothing bothersome, with Diedara around =].

I was speaking idiomatically.

The Key Animators. Tetsuya Nishio's name is in one of the groups. We'll be seeing more of him in Shippudan when that time comes =/.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't really like wiki as much but ANN has more then they do. Organized that is >.>.

This basically all that he and a few other people work on. So if you recognize that then you know what I'm talking about(Otogizoushi was the best btw). That picture Qwarky put up is one of his crappy jobs. They intend to fuck it up on purpose but I guess that's the beauty of it.

Spoiler:

It'd be no surprise If Orochimaru already had taken over his body with a little insurance. But if Sasuke does kill him , he's not going to waste any time . He'll definately look for Itachi OR Itachi already found the hiding place. Who knows. It's about time we see a real battle between those brothers and so fags-uke can go whine later on.

Then again, the show's demographic is pretty young, so I guess I'm splitting hairs on a bald head. As for the Akatsuki, Deidara himself never really fights seriously for all two or three fights he's shown. He's interesting because his tactics are pretty thought-out, as opposed to 'my jutsu's bigger than yours,' which Naruto seems to have devolved into.

His partner, Sasori, is much more impressive, but you won't be seeing much of his stuff for at least fifteen-twenty episodes.

We mention all this but we can't forget the action between Kakashi and Naruto vs the fake Itachi along with kisame vs Maito Gai. So I guess we'll be treated to something sweet after that. Like some funny moments with Deidara and Tobi. It's all coming back to me like when naruto faces off Orochimaru with his 4th level kyubit power.

In breaking news that is the Manga:

This week's Chapter

Spoiler:

I dunno anything yet but there's a spoiler pic that reveals Orochimaru to be an actual snake. That's what he is then it goes to a flashback where the 3rd showed Oro their grave O.o;;. Then the rest is Fags-uke vs Oro. It wasn't really shocking but I am interested to see at least one good memory of him before he finally meets his death

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

Gross.

But that's your boy Orochimaru. The mastermind ;p. Also.

Spoiler:

Great job in finding that pic, kurado.
You think Kabuto is with Sasuke as well? I ask this cause he's always been the mysterious type since the early episodes before the chuunin exams.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

SD obviously won. Btw, they released version 2 of both the hour special and episode 3. Get'em now.

Quote:

I hope to hear more of that song that was played during the 2nd episode where Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are all facing off. It started at about the 41 minute mark in the DB version. It's got a really nice serious tone to it.

We'll probably hear it again in the next upcoming episodes with useless scenes that don't belong there. But yeah it does sound nice ;p.

Quote:

Btw, have they said anything about a 4th Naruto OST? I know of a few songs they left out of the previous three.

Some old songs will probably be bundled with the new work sometime in the summer maybe. I hope its earlier than that but I could be right.

@Twilight's Twin : There are a few songs that sound like Terminator

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I watch the anime and also read the manga, and I have not seen what the hell has he learned in the past 3 years. He still does the same shit: multiple replicas and his crappy Rasengan ball.

Spoiler:

The only new thing he has done is release the fox demon to the 4-tails level, but I don't think that can be considered as a real improvement.

So really, what is so cool about him??

well there's that rumor spreading about him that

Spoiler:

Naruto will be taught be Gai. Teach him how to open his gates and counter sasuke's sharingan or something.

But yeah. there's really nothing else new about naruto other than his clothes and millions of kage bushins.

edit : btw, this week's episode is out.

I mean how can he hope to be Hokage if he can only do 3 or 4 techniques. Is his rasengan that strong that he no longer needs to worry?

Read last page.

Spoiler:

Naruto has learned another powerful version of his rasengan. It's nothing much but it sure as hell killed an important enemy =].

I really hope he gets taught more interesting moves like Taijutsu from Gai.

I was speaking idiomatically.

...If you were too much on fillers and Naruto.

Alas, Big News.

Chapters 345

Spoiler:

Also, there was a flashback where Orochimaru fought against Itachi. Oro lost, now it goes to this part. Oro and Sasuke are caught with the snake and no one knows who won. Scene changes to where Kabuto see Oro slashed away and asks him "Who the hell are you?" and he doesn't respond.

Now that's a good chapter.

EDIT : Now that I've seen a full chapter. My guesses are :

Spoiler:

1. Orochimaru got him.
2. Sasuke Killed him
3. Orochimaru got him but not all the way therefore they both share the body but Oro doesn't completely.

I really liked when they showed Itachi put Oro in his place. Itachi sure doesn't bs and he even tore his arm off ( dunno how) But now if my 3rd guess is actually true (no), I'd say they go after Akatsuki then attack/fail in Konoha. This is pretty much getting to me but I really hope he killed Oro cause my other theory was that the summon Snake betrayed Oro and teamed up with Sasuke.

March 15

chapter 346

Spoiler:

So now we have Kabuto asking Sasuke if he's Orochimaru. Sasuke says "You get the idea" while he shows him this weird sharingan. Still , that isn't proof enough that its really Sasuke and then he goes off opening a capsule that had someone in there. So we're given a new character called Suigetsu.

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5209/01mx1.png

Now this gives us another assumption. Suigetsu was in on it but he doesn't know who won the fight either. If Sasuke won, awesome cause Orochimaru should've died long ago. It was almost as if he didn't have much to do. But hey, many think that it was just a low blow. Imagine if Oro wasn't cursed at all. He'd beat the shit out Sasuke, yes?

And so. Sasuke will form his new group. Could be a counterattack to Akatsuki and/or Konoha. We shall see.

I still think Orochimaru had something up his sleeve. I mean it only makes sense that he shouldn't have screwed up the second time. Plus, that little memory he had with the Third had me thinking . He was holding that little snake. You think he probably did a body transfer at the last min? Physically Oro is done. Mentally I'm not sure.

Also if anyone cares, Toonami is almost heading to episode 80. The introduction of Akatsuki! And they are also showing the REAL 4th opening. Textless but whatever. I think from there, they won't pull anything stupid like mixing clips and whatever.

How ya doing, buddy?
