Is it just me?

**joker-kun** · Wed, 12-31-2003, 12:28 PM

Well I have noticed lately Naruto hasnt been the same for me, the cause of this is cause in my opinion they are dragging this out way too long, hurry have the fights, become chunnins,The become the old naruto of going and doing missions, I really hope sand starts their assualt soon, mind you i loved the Naruto neji fight, and though it was action, but I just want some more real action, instead of: You Pass, You Pass, over and over again, tell me do you not want there to be that different kind of action, of life and death, or the same it is now and drag this exam on?

PS: sorry I put this in GA

Yeah after those first couple of episodes, everything seemed a little too lighthearted (except when they were in the forest), but I think this has been a good way of presenting the majority of characters, and fighting styles into the Naruto universe.

Otherwise we might only get to see a couple fireball moves by Sasuke, and the repetitive KAGE BUNSHIN!!! by Naruto. That would get pretty stale.

Edit: I suppose you could introduce other characters and fighting styles with life and death situations, but that might take even longer, since there is a lot of people.

I beleive this is an important part in the naruto storyline, im just saying its getting to long and its losing its regular naruto status of awesome greatness

Hehehehe, you don't know nothing kid. Wait till the next episodes, can't wait? Read the manga....

**Krbadass** · Thu, 01-01-2004, 04:13 AM

As i told animemaster, do not promote the manga please, people don't read it for a reason.

Ontopic... I don't think it needs to change, its good to prolong this as long as they don't over do it

**joker-kun** · Thu, 01-01-2004, 04:14 AM

ummm thats the whole point of my statement, is that i want the next part to come

**A77ALiSTiC** · Thu, 01-01-2004, 07:48 AM

well, i believe that the next episode will be filled with action, because we are talkin about sasuke vs. gaara here... even tho to some ppl, this might be just like the rest of the fights.. but i think itll be really cool
btw, the fights of the third exams were amazing! the naruto-neji fight, i believe there was a lot of debate on whose gonna win, the shika-temari fight, no one must have expected that shika would win.. i know i didnt (but i did think that he will hold on for a while, then quit)... and now, the sasuka-gaara fight.. lots of action! and im anxious for the sand village assault too, cause that will mean that we will get to see great jounins fighting! maybe even the hokage!

those who are waiting for new moves will soon be happy

**Shikai** · Thu, 01-01-2004, 10:57 AM

Well as long as they don't train 30 eps. for an enemy and then take another 20 eps to defeat him like DBZ i'm happy... I'm a little itchy vs Saga's... But naruto really caught me

I like the way Naruto is now. Don't know why, so don't ask.

Actually, if you remember. Shikamari didn't win. He quit. After all, what the hell was he suppose to do after catching her with the shadow eh? They ended up dead in the centre of the area when they came together, so he couldn't use the wall to knock her out. Anything he threw would be thrown at him too and if he dodged so would she. He can't knock her out or force her to give up, so he was pretty much screwed by the end of it.

And thus he quit and gave up. He lost because his technique dosn't leave much room for an offence, it's more like a defence.

Have anyone realised that this is one of the most "dragged out" anime in a couple of years... the anime have just been about this fucking chuunin exam ever since episode 22 or 23... and before that that dragged out fight between kakashi vs zabuza, sasuke, naruto vs haku... Compare to for example kenshin... that's perfect, not dragged out and not so slow and a nice speed...

what

you're talking about a little part of naruto, we've only seen a little part of naruto, I think you can only say stuff like that after 150 eps or so... this is important, a strong story, knowing all the baggrounds of every character is important, otherwise... it wouldn't really stand out as an anime/manga, I admitt... the action is a little slow lately, but hey... the next few eps are gonna be great, just wait.

Yaba, i think you're wrong. If you have read the manga you'll know that there are alot more important thing to come.. this chuunin exam is not important to the story, just som familiarsation with the characters..

well maybe... I don't read the manga, but I said that it's important to know the characters

because it wouldn't be different from pokemon or whatever, naruto drives on emotions a lot, I mean... a big part of the show is the history of naruto, no parents, the demon inside of him... and you see that in the anime, gaara thinking about naruto, naruto freaking out and letting al his emotions go when sasasuke died.

when something like that happens it's emotionel , the exams strengthen the emotions and realism because we know a lot about the characters, half of them have a sad history and I'm not someone who's gonna cry about it, but I got cry sooner when naruto dies or something like that then when pikachu drops dead...

that's all I'm saying, I know that there are more important things but hey... I dunno about that.

er.... spoiler???

**hiroshi** · Tue, 01-06-2004, 06:13 AM

That isn't a spoiler. All that has already happened, and he's stating how the chunnin exams are merely to bring us closer to the characters to make everything more emotional if one of them does actually die or if something bad happens to one of them etc.

Susuke died temporarily against Haku if you remember, but it was just a technique to make it look like he died. That was the scene he meant when he said Sasuke died. He dosn't read the manga so he doesn't know anything past the current anime episode out at the moment.

**rEkKaShInObI** · Tue, 01-06-2004, 06:17 AM

it has been getting a lil boring with all the talking and flashbacks, their killing time... reminds me of dragon ball z. 20 minutes of talk and flash back, 2 minutes of charging up.... next episode: more charging up and more talking. next episode over and over till the 20th. kinda sad done u guys think?

What the hell? That doesn't make me want to read the manga that makes me want to stop watching Naruto all togehther. There is no point arguing with you manga readers because you "THINK" you know everything about the Naruto series. Well you don't so shut up!
