Have you ever done this?

[umdiddly]

Welp.... reaaaally pissed off at myself.. i was all hyped up to find out what comes next (after ep 63) ... so i took a peek at the manga.. a lil tiny PEEK.

and now ive been smited.. or smoten. nothing against manga readers, but its not that fun without the motion and sound... but anyways, i stayed up late nights for like 2 days.. and read all the way from ep 64 (which is like chapter 140ish i think, or something) to the most recent... (198)

now watching ep 64 its like ... not gooder.. well, it woulda been gooder if i didnt know what was coming http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif

- its like... like if you replaced handshakes with sex http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif .. you'd get a similar scenario..... o_O.... i mean, its like all the fun was bypassed and you just get the conclusion.

i need one of those forgetting pills, do those exist?? or should i just bludgeon myself on the head with a stick, all amnesia like. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif

Eheheh I almost did the same one time, but i changed my mind, guess it was pretty good I did. Hope you don't get too bored =(

[umdiddly]

you know how sometimes when you do something that you know is going to suck big time later, theres that little tiny nagging voice going "no dont... youll regret it... cmon, dont.... if you do.. i wont be your friend http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif .... aww... dont be that way.. cmon... stop, no!! youre reading it!!!! noooo!!!! omg, now you cant stop reading it! ... okay okay.. just stop like..

[Assassin]

lol, i rememebr someone did that back when our fav prankster mod (rock lee) told everyone, in an official announcement, that naruto was liscenced http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

poor guy read all the manga in like on nite



well, i was once tempted myself......i read ahead a bit during the prelims, just to c what it would be like. i read up to the end of the prelims, and found it wasn't as fun watchign the anime then


but dont worry, its just cuz u remember so much of it, that the surprise is gone. if u dont read it again, u'll start to forget a little bit, and as time passes, the anime will b fun again. most likely, by the time we get ep 65, it wont suck so much (assuming u dont re-read the manga in these 2 weeks)

[Uchiha-Itachi]

BAKA! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_jumpon.gif

All point at him and laugh http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Harageki]

I was on the verge of doing that yesterday...soooo close...then used willpower and stopped XD....phew.

[Insomniac]

i did the same thing but dont regret it, compared to the anime the mangas so much more mature like as in the people who post and stuff, you dont get all these this person vs this person vs this person polls every second.

Also the point that the manga is up to is just so awesome, its a pity that it probably wont be animated http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif

[DB_Hunter]

Don't say that!!! It will be animated!!! It has too... it just has too.

[KevKoN]

the manga is done a lot better and a lot more consistently than the anime. the anime does leave some stuff out mainly because of censorship. i read the manga and was far from disappointed. the manga is very good and whats going on right now is definately worth reading it for. another good thing about having read the manga is you know which episodes you should actually saty up to download and which to just wait until the morning since you know its not gonna be too great. as for the shikamaru fight, you probabaly were only disappointed while watching the anime because is not a action intensive fight and you already knew exactly how shikamaru was gonna trick her. because you do not appreciate those kind of fights for what they are worth, you were disappointed.

[Immortal Boner]

So, I guess this means that you're one of us now. Welcome to the collective...and enjoy your manga addiction.

Muhahahahahahaha. Bwahahaha. Kakakaka.

[ad4mz41]

Yep, the manga isn't that bad. You just got to use your imagination more.

[hiroshi]

I've been really tempted to read the Manga too due to the Censorship stuff.... but so far i've managed to resist. I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not.

Isn't there anyone who just reads the manga up to the current anime episode and stops? o_o;

oh and btw.... OMG umdiddly you have such a hilarious personality http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

simetimes i play the naruto music while i read. you kind of know which song goes in which situation by now http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

[Raven]

It&#39;s not as if manga readers have no surprises. We still get to speculate and predict things, just about the manga rather than the anime. It&#39;s still exciting and exhilarating. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[Thermonuclear]

I enjoyed the DragonBall mangas, the Animes were just a audio/visual treat http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Same for Naruto.

I luv both http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Oh i really sudgest reading the manga of the anime


Like if you watch episode 50, you read manga 100 (something like that)

[littlecooldude]

I think it&#39;s cool to read the manga and then watch the anime. It&#39;s just as good, well in my opinion.

[Insomniac]

some manga chapters you really wanna see animated and then you&#39;ve got the weekly manga chapters coming out that are awesome (take this weeks for example)

its really not that bad.

[Guest]

The only manga worth reading + viewing the anime = Angel Sanctuary, if it ever passes O.V.A stage ~~

best manag ever though.

Yeah...all the theories thrown in the manga area are cool.
I look at the anime&#39;s ones and laugh.
No offense but its hard to take theories in the anime section seriously when you know what&#39;s going to happen. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_w00t1.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif

[Beautiful Green Beast]

The Manga is not as good as the anime&#33;

[Insomniac]

how would you know unless you&#39;ve read up to where the mangas up to? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Jiraya]

ehe
i went to the dark side, he told me
&quot;hey , what&#39;re u doing here ? i still haven&#39;t found the time to piss u off with &#39;reaaaddd the mangaaaaaaaa&#39; &#33; &quot;
&quot;i&#39;m here to join the dark side, i need chika...power &#33;&quot;
&quot;ehehe, download this, son&quot;

both manga and anime are great, ther&#39;s ton of details more used in the manga and tons of little funny things not in the manga that u can found on th eanime ...
they might be complementory, but it&#39;s true that sometimes the only thing making me downloading the anime is the sense of ... collection &#33;

[sexy_no_jutsu]

i never regretted reding the manga. in fact, im glad i did. the manga is way better than the anime because:

- you always get the state of the art graphics done by kishimoto. not like in the anime, where you get 1 great looking episode every 10 eps or so, and most of the time below avarage crap. no more sasuke looking pantsy, no more wierd looking body parts and misshaped heads. its all perfect.

- Its not as fucking slow as the anime. you don&#39;t notice the flashback no jutsu&#39;s until they air the anime episode, because you can read them in 2 secs and move on.

- the manga is less predictable imo. thats also because its faster, in the anime, you have all time to think about what is going on, and everything is explained perfectly. but in the manga, you tend to read over stuff (well, i do sometimes http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif ), so you can be suprised a bit.

- you have to use your imagionation alot. its really cool (at least, for me) to think about how it would look in motion. in my head i then create the way it would be brought to the anime perfectly, however. most of the times the creativity in my head is better than the actual anime episode itself, so reading the manga gives me great disappointment in the anime sometimes. (expert for certain eps like 30 and 48, wich i had never predicted to look that sweet)

- there is more. we are 1 year ahead of you guys. we can go everywhere on the forum and don&#39;t care is we see a spoiler, since we are the spoiler MOEHAHAHAHA http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif
nah, im kidding, im against spoilers.

- we get 2 fixes now. the anime, wich is still injoyable to watch even if you knoiw whats gonna happen (at least for me), and a new manga chapter every week, revealing more and more of the plot that is like 10 times better than that crappy story your watching now http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

[Yaba]

I like to wait and find out things the anime way, maybe the manga is better... but who cares, I like the anime action and it&#39;s more fun to watch http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

[JessiA]

Well, in a way I was lucky. I started reading the manga back during the Zabuza fight ending - Exam written test (I didnt read it all in one go).
It was kind of messed up though, cuz I used the ThienZ site, so the first chapter I could get was Shikamaru&#39;s fight chapter (I think), and so I read a few of that, then when I had access to all of the manga, I just started over from the beginning.

At first it was kinda boring, cuz I knew how it would turn out, oh ahahah, Sasuke telling Sakura she&#39;s annoying.. 1,000 years of pain, hahahaha.. But I was surprised, and found out that I enjoyed it. I don&#39;t even think I bothered to compare the point in the manga and the point in the anime when they conflicted as I was reading them.

And now that I read the episode 64 fight, twice, it was like.. 3 months ago or something like that. I haven&#39;t gone back to that chapter to see how it turns out or anything like that. Watching it in the anime gives me a good refresher. Heck, I don&#39;t think Neji even used his 64 Hakken (Is that what it&#39;s called? I&#39;m not good with move names) in the manga, did he?

For anyone who has yet to do this, but might, I suggest you go find the first chapters and read it all the way through, that way you dont just pick up in the middle.

[boomorman]

yeah I did the same thing back during the Naruto-kiba fight. It was going so slow that I downloaded some manga I read from the start to just past the lee Gaara fight. Lesson learned, and I&#39;m glad I stopped there. The Anime is so much better. Also I like to speculate so I don&#39;t mind not knowing all the answers.

[RockLeeisHOT]

WTF?&#33; After reading the manga, you should be all revved up to see certain scenes in color and sound&#33; The manga should in no way spoil the anime, unless it&#39;s a dull point in the storyline (which isn&#39;t often) I&#39;m completely up to dat with the manga and I CAN&#39;T WAIT to see it in anime form. some people are just weird http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif

[Sexy no Jutsu > All Justsu]

I started reading the manga about a month ago and I couldn&#39;t be happier. The story is almost identicle except for a little more gore in some areas http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif but I do like to take in all the art work. The manga covers are totally sweet too.

Plus I feel like I can really discuss naruto with some of its biggest fans. For some reason more of the vetran fans have read the managa

that is because the manga was out a long time before there was ever an anime XD
