No. Japanese Gai's voice is way better. He overdoes it sometimes, but that's why it fits the character. So far, the dub voice didn't impress me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think it's that bad either. I never expected getting used to Naruto's voice, but I eventually did. There are still plenty of voices that could be better and I think that it will improve, no doubt.

I still think Kakashi's voice is miscast, though. =| He doesn't sound so laid back and covered with a mask over his mouth like the original. Kakashi also has his silly moments and so far, dub Kakashi didn't really have the voice for it. That's the only real complaint I have.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

...

Orochimaru MUST get Frieza's dub voice. I won't accept anyone else. =0

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

It'd just be for the cheesy factor. Besides, I like some of the voices. Wouldn't hurt to have some of the same VAs for Naruto. =[

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

The 26 week shit was an obvious joke by DB. Fillers should end after the upcoming arc with the Hoshikage nonsense.

I was speaking idiomatically.

... ¬_¬

I was just backing you up, because people still think the DB statement was true.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I can't wait for the next chapter, and I wonder what Sai and Sasuke will talk about.

Spoiler:

I bet his lipstick is permanent. =] Too bad they spent half the chapter flipping through pages, but at least there is something happening.

*Sasuke sitting in the dark like some sex obsessed freak, waiting for more of Orochimaru's snake

Orochimaru: kukukuku i brought sum1 for you =P
Sasuke: Nevermind that, teach me new tricks!
Orochimaru: playimte is later! neway hes also from the leaf =P
Sasuke: Pff--
Sai: PENIS

I hope the manga will get a real plot again, so far this arc was a bit weak, story wise.

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

There are too many Sasuke fanboys to let Kishimoto even consider of Orochimaru taking over his body. Besides, Sasuke is important to the story. I don't see the main cast fighting against Akatsuki while Orochimaru is touching his new Uchiha body.

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

He wasn't funny in the first place. The only good moment was when he was sleeping and surrounded by paper balls. But that was an unintentional shot, so it doesn't count. The one-shot filler episodes are just kids humor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So they wouldn't catch up to the manga? =/ Everyone knows about it. The manga is the guideline in Naruto and the anime can't pass it.


*btw, episode 155 and 156 were the worst episodes in terms of everything

There's nowhere I can't reach.

@Chato: The second movie will be released on DVD sometime in April (it's with the knights and castles and shit) and the third movie with the animals will air this summer.

@Sega: Keep in mind that it takes a couple of weeks to make one anime episode, which is two manga chapters. When the fillers are done, they can make one season (26 episodes) at most. The manga is about 30 anime episodes ahead, so it isn't that much. They will definitely make more fillers after the first season of Part 2 or maybe inbetween the episodes.

Fillers were a good idea to enlarge the gap between manga and anime, it's just too bad that they sucked hard.

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

Showed a bit of Sasuke (his face) but wasn't clear. Now Naruto and his little gang is going in to a cave which Sasuke,Sai and stupid Snake gaylord is hiding in.

Spoiler:

Sasuke is still the lameass like he was before the timeskip, but him and Sai have good interaction. Hoping for some good battles in the next chapters.

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

Eh, you can get a good impression of Orochimaru's voice when he faces Anko. Now it's still the Grass ninja.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I meant that he was still in the Grass ninja disguise, so he also has a different voice... ¬_¬

Sounds nice. 3 sharingans, 1 snake sennin (who reminds me of michael jackson >.>), 1 perveted sennin, 1 super strong sennin, a giant racoon, and a giant fox... can't wait to see the animated version of the fight

Spoiler:

Gaara got his monster extracted by Akatsuki. ¬_¬

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

Gaara + Taijutsu = Nonexistant. All he can do is throw sand in people's faces. But he'd still be more talented than failures like Hinata, though.

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

Who knows, but I still want Asuma, Kurenai and Genma to have some damn spotlight. Come to think of it, seeing the older Jounin in action wouldn't be a bad thing, the kids could take a sabbatical.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

Sai also had the standard Sakura expression when he read the book he summoned.

O_O

I don't even care what's in it, they should fight already for crying out loud.

How ya doing, buddy?

What the fuck. Sai is alright, he just has a bad taste when it comes to fashion.

Search the site for a translation thread. It's there.

Latest chapter:

Spoiler:

They escaped way too easily. You could put a fucking tent in it and no one would notice. Anyway, it was nice to hear Sai's backstory and more about the plot, because it was quite weak so far. They will most certainly drag out Sasuke's next encounter.

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

Manga talk:

Spoiler:

Akatsuki as party poopers? Seeing Deidara in action again would rule, but I don't know how Kishimoto would write the Akatsuki into the current arc when there is too much focus on Orochimaru and Sasuke.

Aaaaand they will go on for a while. If they are dragging things out this long, Part 2 better has state of the art animation.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, the movie didn't leave me with a feeling like "Bleeeeegh sucked.". It was not a great movie, but it wasn't filler terrible, either. I agree with Chato that it's better than the first one, even if that one had more gore. It's worthy of a download (just to see a Gainax-like Sakura).

Chapter 305

Spoiler:

Okay, what the hell. Orochimaru appears and he lets Sai escape? After that, you find out that Sai was originally ordered to kill Sasuke. At the end of the chapter, he talks to a sleeping Sasuke with his head turned away, saying that he wants to mend the bond between Naruto and him. That entire setup is a bit too convenient, now it's a race against the clock AGAIN.

Most amazing jew boots

You said a page ago that you like most of the Naruto fillers and now you are wondering how long your patience will last? ¬_¬

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

If the art was better, I wouldn't mind. But it has been decreasing for a long time now. The characters now have copy and paste faces.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
