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.
Well of course if you only see the physical strength he's not that great but who does that
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!
i read the manga and i know how the characters have developed. i don't want to give anything away, but personally, i'm disappointed with some characters' improvements or lack of.
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.

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. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
I know why he has it, but this is the anime forum, so I opted not to say.
Unless, it's mentioned in the anime already.. I don't remember.. I just remember reading that in the manga, that he was a <span style='color:#D6DBE0'>racoon</span>...i dunno if that's a spoiler.. but just incase lol

......... Gaara has a sand incarnate bound to him... without it, he probably is nothing... now... look at naruto... without his demon... he can't summon a toad...he probably wouldn't have even beaten neji...and anyway... naruto isn't the demon... In gaara's case.... gaara almost is the demon....

... don't u read the manga? and plus... if you look at episode65... go pass the ending song... you will see a little bit of the next episode....Plus... gaara doesn't have many jutsus... without his sand he's nothing...
I like Gaara, and I'm glad Gaara's goard turned to sand and saved him. I think he makes a far better badass then Orochimaru
i can just see most of this gaara nay sayers changeing tune juring the next cuple eps. wee!

anyone who doesn't have more than 3 jutsu's is boring. don't get technical on me either. you all know watching naruto use kage bunshin over and over again is lame. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
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.
Gaara is a worthless tiny boy, he weight about 85 lbs, he ain't nothing without his demon inside him (it has been said in 54, therefor, no spoil) and his sand..
I think Gaara is cool. Besides it appears that the demon inside of him is powerful.
He's a monster.
You think the show will leave it at that?

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?

erm, when do they say that?
Gaara is aweosme
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.
Nice to see some ppl who belives Gaara isnt booring/has more to offer.
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"?
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
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..
it's killing moves we're talkin about, not circus acts. whatever get the job done, dont need any elephants or fireworks to show that he is badass.

did you not read what i said? "don't get techincal on me."
i know those characters have more than 3 jutsus...god... </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
personally his "technical' explenation really didnt make any sense to me.
Besides the dots etc etc, there is also no structure in his sentence whatsoever.
and garaa rulz the world.
Just too bad He isnt the maincharacter. Maybe we could've gotten some emotion out of him
