yea but still...WE NEED SOME <span style='color:red'>BLOOD</span>
damn all the &quot;Rateings&quot; dont like it

but that could just be my upbringing
i could pretty much watch everything i wanted

I mean it wouldnt hurt if they add a little blood. I just watched 68 and I couldnt tell which guys were getting killed or which guys were just getting smacked around. Dont tell us that there is no difference, there is a huge difference. Also, adding a little blood is not gonna change the pr-rating from pg to R.

[petoix]

or how about this... when someone gets killed, they can become transparent with a little halo over their head and go floating up into the sky. isn&#39;t that how they did it in the saturday morning videos?

BAH&#33;&#33;

and yes... kakashi is SO SO SO cool in the manga.

[Wren]

my only problem is that the anime makes it look like Raido bit the dust, when in the Manga that wasnt actually him......0__o, that sort of thing pisses me off at times . but all in all a good episode but a bit of blood is quite needed.

YEA MAN&#33;&#33; WE NEED BLOOD DUDE&#33;&#33;

[lionheart1012000]

yeah we really need some more blood in the anime. but i guess we cant do anything about that...

[TeLeKiNeSiS]

hmmm...you know, i didnt even think about this at first...but while i was watching, i knew SOMETHING was missing...and i guess you&#39;re right..it IS the blood. how interesting...even the the scene where raidou gets hit by the 4 or so kunai...he&#39;s not bleeding...theres no ... war action without blood..

YEA man&#33;&#33; totally agree, whats a war w/o blood?&#33; its a war man&#33;&#33; although it doesnt look like one with so little ninjas fighting.

[Kakashi-Senpai]

Maybe the blood factor has gone down as naruto may be license in america. Think about it, pokemon was a &quot;cool&quot; show until it was license in america. Obvivously american&#39;s can&#39;t stand blood. Hopefully this is all not true and naruto WILL NEVER be licensed.

[Noir]

Blood would be nice, BUT

As long as the plot/story is good I am there man&#33;

Those Ratings are what&#39;s keeping the show on the air. They&#39;ve already had to outsource some of their animation to Korea... do you want them to do that more?

This is a 7:30pm Wednesday timeslotted program. You can&#39;t put what would be Adult Swim equivalent stuff in that sort of a primetime location.

Nara Animation is not getting enough money to do all of the show (or they&#39;re understaffed, which could be related to the former).

I am a nitpicker I gues... I don&#39;t know. but Ep 68 didn&#39;t have quite the impact that the scenes in the manga did. It was because of one missing element... and this element is... BLOOD&#33; please compair these following images:


sorry but I just like the blood...

They just look like they&#39;ve actually been fighting, and gai looks more badass

This is what people killing anemies should be lookin&#39; like

ok I might just be a freak but I like the blood... (please ignore what he&#39;s saying in the last panel, I just changed his wording in case it spoiled the anime a tad. it&#39;s when he&#39;s still talking to sakura though ^^)

My opinion is this: Episode 68 was good, but if they had added in minor details like this, it could have been even better. I was hoping that it would be dreary out like it was going to rain soon, but the episode was all bright and sunny. A lot different thatn I expected. I hope 69 is good XD

YEA MAN&#33;&#33; WE NEED THE BLOOD&#33;&#33;&#33; BLOOD BABY&#33;&#33; I think it is cheating us to 0_o

[Jman]

i guess were getting cheated but i think they do so because of the issue invovling the timeslot of the show and the audience...kids who watch the show. personally i don&#39;t mind the blood being taken out but it would be nice if it were a bit more hardboiled during some scenes. then again, the crew that works on the manga is different from the ones who work on the anime (so i&#39;ve heard)

What... is this warm thing

Blood My Blood&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Seriously we need blood, it&#39;s ugly without

[sexy_no_jutsu]

yeah seriously. i dousn&#39;t even look like a war in the anime. so lame...

[[\/]etrite]

lol we&#39;ve got a blood-shortage .
But yeah the anime is cheating on us, you can name more things like that.
I mean Kakashis Chidori should&#39;ve went straight through Haku like in the manga.
Oh well, I don&#39;t really care about blood, but I think they just should&#39;ve sticked to the goreness of the manga.

[joker-kun]

Perhaps the japanese anime makers are becoming soft

[Beautiful Green Beast]

maybe Naruto is on tv too early for showing blood and shurikens in heads and so on...
