[Anime] Naruto

Naruto anime and manga have fell to a point where they become unbearable... poorly written manga story accompanied by filler enriched anime episodes completely destroy the glory it once had.

Spoiler:

I don't care how many people wanted Sasuke's return, but sticking a Sasuke-wanna-be who's easily influenced by Naruto's "he's my friend" type of logic is a total failure.

Before that mess about Sai and his brother, he was a character of his own: cool, cold blooded, emotionless, and logical; when Naruto started his rambling about Sasuke's relation with him, Sai took a 180 transformation, the change is too fast that it's unrealistic.

Furthermore, taking time to bulid up tension and let it all slip out at the end of ch.309 is gotta be the most disappointing thing an author can do. If everything's set up for readers' anticipation, at least some small scale battle should break out to effectively relief that tension.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
