[Anime] Naruto

I'm still following the Naruto manga, but I really haven't watched the anime since back in June when I was in Japan. I've heard nothing but bad things about the filler, so I have no motivation to watch. To be honest though, until recently, I felt the manga was dragging as well, so I'm not even excited to see them return to the manga arcs. The whole Sasori part was boring as hell to me. Recently however, I think the Naruto manga has been returning to the reasons that I read the manga in the first place. Giving Naruto some face time. I mean, the series is called Naruto, after all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Concerning chapter 306..

Spoiler:

Is it just me, or is Sasuke wearing the same outfit that Kimimaro wore? Also, I don't know about others, but throughout the series, I've just really grown tired of Sasuke. I thought the whole 'only showing his shadowed face and eyes' thing was kinda dumb. I guess I really just like Naruto over-all because I can relate to him more easily. Also, in a suprising turn, I actually started to like Sai for a moment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

307

Spoiler:

I don't know why, but I've never really liked Sasuke. Then he goes all emo and decides to join Orochimaru. I'm hoping this fight goes down. I think Naruto might be able to catch Sasuke off guard since Sasuke seems so cocky with his abilities right now. It almost made it sound like Sasuke thinks Naruto didn't train at all over the years that passed. I want to see what else Naruto has learned, and it would be even sweeter if he made Sasuke put his foot in his mouth. I still think Sasuke looks like Kimimaro in that outfit. I also think that he's lying about severing bonds. At least, his facial expressions during that whole speech seemed that way. Plus, he's still sporting the Uchiha clan symbol, so there has to be some attachment to what was taken from him/what he left, or he would be rid of it all and focus solely on killing Itachi.

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