Well thats your oppinion atleast..

I've said it before I dont think Gaara has had any need whatsoever to be doing anything else than standing arround.. Maby Sasuke can push him alittle more than Lee could.

i dont read the manga but why not just wait for the next episode and see. I dont think Gaara is boring at all though, his sand justsu's are cool. Plus his expressions are amusing.

I know Garaa is the least interesting character in the anime, and I hate how the show wastes so damn much time on him and his face going all wierd and him making his sounds and killing people and stuff, I wish they would get rid of Garaa http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

The only thing i found annoying is how he just stands there while the sand does all the work. He'd be twice as deadly if he were running, jumping around, throwing Kunai's etc..

But then again, his sand is badass, why complain? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

Yeah, he's not really cool or anything, unless he kills people with the sand or something http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif

He needs to get rid of the black eye liner!

That "black eye liner" is not make-up. It is because he doesnt sleep which makes bags under his eye's. In this case, all around his eyes and that was the way Kishimoto wanted it to be.

I think Gaara is cool. Shino does'nt move much either as he uses the bugs to attack and shield himself instead of sand, and I think he's pretty cool. Besides, even if Gaara does'nt move, nobody can touch him. (except lee and sasuke though)

Kage bunshin is very annoying to watch because it never really works very well the first time, and then like an idiot he does it again and is within an inch of his life, takes 20 seconds to get up while spouting off comments like "Don't underestimate me!"

But other than that I like Naruto.

Gaara i think is boring as well, but im looking forward to seeing him put effort into a fight.

I think Baki (his sensei) says it to kabuto when gaara is on the roof.(right before he kills dosu.)

I think gaara is very cool....and he's only evil because of his past, which makes him even cooler.

I think the level of excitement in the fights will really pick up once we see some more summoning being worked in; Naruto is basically a novice summoner right now and can't really control it (other than summoning Gamabunta when he's facing death on the rocks below). If Naruto ever gets around to learning how to get a cooler toad, things will be a lot better. Keep in mind you're still watching these ninjas in their beginner levels, there is still much more potential for excitement.

Sun, 01-11-2004, 03:33 AM

Well of course if you only see the physical strength he's not that great but who does that http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif
Then leave his demon and sand with him and he rocks, he has an attitude, he knows jutsus, far more than naruto and sasuke, i'm pretty sure of that...
He fears nothing, he was a bit surprised by Lee but as a shinobi should always do, he didnt show all of his powers...
I think sasuke's gonna get raped unless he learned some badass moves!

Sun, 01-11-2004, 04:07 AM

Well, maybe the moves of Gaara are a bit boring, as he doesn't use for example his hands or legs to kick or punch. Sand does all the job for him. But of course he has bee training hard to get that powerful. He himself told about his father who taught him a lot. Well, maybe he's going to show something cooler in the future, at least I hope so. Otherwise I think Gaara as a person isn't boring at all. He's so mysterious and stuff like that. The only thing is that his style of fighting at the moment and so far is a bit boring in my opinion.

I dont think any characters is boring. Sure, Naruto may be using Kage Bunshin over and over, but he always find some interesting strategy to use it. Besides, Naruto's attitude is FAR from boring. He can be hilarious at times, sometimes stupid, and serious when he fights. And I think Gaara and Sakura are very cool too. If all characters would be the same, I think the anime would be somewhat boring.

thanks for telling us....

but yea...you have to understand why he is boring to watch because HES bored of his oppoents...

you must realize he had no hard oppoent until rock lee, so he never really did have to move around or do anything cool, everything is already done and set for him...

besides...you cant say the animators and ppl spent too much time on him because hes like the opposite personality of naruto, but they both have demons inside of them...see?

Sun, 01-11-2004, 01:37 PM

Alright, we need to go back to the basics here. We all love this anime, and these characters compared to tons before them, are all interesting, not to mention badass. Gaara still hasn't shown his true powers. I mean come on think about it. All the other guys are pulling out the big hits, cause they don't have a freaking armor of sand. Don't think that as soon as that crubles Gaara is done for. Heh, no. That's when Gaara starts moving/kicking some serous ass. Ok well these are just my guesses, but at least it sounds logical. Besides, he's not boring because he's different.

Wed, 01-14-2004, 10:22 AM

Nice to see some ppl who belives Gaara isnt booring/has more to offer http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif.

I've said it and someone else in this post. I dont think Gaara has ever been in a fight that requires more than what he have done so far. Even if Lee pushed it quite well he still didnt have to do anything special..

Tho the kind of speed that Lee has is probably the key to defeating the sand shield cause it cant keep up. But as littledude said. I dont think for a second that if someone manages to crack the armor of sand that Gaara is done for.. Hehe thats probably the time when you wish you were never born for pissing him off. I think that Sasuke can do pretty well vs the Gaara we have seen so far cause he is good and he has his "lame"?http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif thing the sharingan. But I very much doubt Sasuke can do much if Gaara gets super crazy and goes in to the other self like Baki and his syblings seems to be affraid of..

And please stop it with the Gaara/Naruto is lame and can only win cause they have what they have.. Eat it up thats the way it is supposed to be you know. Dont think for a second that Neji would be the nr one rookie from the last year and "the strongest genin" without Byakugan.. Kakashi might have been good (or obviously is) without his Sharingan but he would probably have lost vs Zabuza without it.

And whoever said that chars with only 2 or 3 moves are boring http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif comon thats just the action hero in you that talks.. Shikamaru is a cool guy cause of the way he is.. I dont think he has that many special jutsus other than shadow binding. But he uses it with brains and makes it work.

Kage Bunshin might feel a little repetetive at times but Naruto evolve's that jutsu pretty good and comes up with pretty nifty things and combos he wouldnt be able to to otherwise..

Sasuke has his Sharingan and I live with it even tho it is not fair for someone like Lee.. Sasuke and the other "bloodline" boys wouldnt have been more skillful than Lee is (without the gates thing cause that is special too).. There would be no special jutsus or flashy jutsus or anything

Same thing with Gaara.. The more stronger opponents he fights that can push him beyond the standing still and just use the sand as protection and offence the more I guess he needs to evolve aswell to be able to win..

Like Karasu said, the reason why Gaara hasn't pulled any über-cool moves is because no one so far has been good enough to force him to do anything but stand around. That's not to say that I think Gaara's Shield of Sand or Desert Graveyeard are uncool - in fact, I think they are the coolest moves in the series. You people shouldn't think for a second that Gaara is a birdboned little nothing, because he isn't. If an opponent is worth it, he will probably pull off some amazingly cool jutsus. Just because Lee couldn't force him into doing so doesn't mean he can't do it at all. >_>

Gaara is my favorite character in the series (followed by Shikamaru and Naruto). He has so much to him that he's hard to push aside and forget about right away. His sand attacks are interesting (I never knew you could do that with sand! kinda way), and he himself is pretty cool, even if he's a little bit odd (he has reasons why I think.) . Variety is the spice of life, y'know. *hugs Gaara*

Fri, 01-16-2004, 06:11 AM

I dunno I thought the Lee vs Gaara and Sasuke vs Gaara fights were cool. I mean those 2 fights probably rates as 2 of the coolest fights in the series so I don't see how he is a boring character. Most people are right though he doesn't really have any sort of ninja skill or intelligence in his battles, but Lee didn't really have any either. Leave that sort of thing to people like Shika and Shino.

I still think Zabuza was the coolest bad guy in the series by far though. I thought his character design was great, as well as his motives, his jutsus, his intelligence and skill. I mean he figured out the trick to the sharingan, I think that takes a lot of intelligence. Opps but I'm getting sidetracked...
