For the most part, I too yearn for the manga like no other. The episodes are great, but the manga is the true epicenter of my anime desire(s). After reading the latest chapters, though .. Not only do I begin eagerly anticipating the next chapter, but I also revel in the thought of the anime series catching up to the current chapters, due to being unable to wait to see some of the manga scenes animated.
How amazing will it be to see Chouji using his "Ultra-Size Skill" on Jiroubo in it's full animated action? Or, Shikamaru once again presenting his awe-inspiring intelligence against Tayuya while divulging his methods of devising his strategies in full-motion? C'mon, it is going to be great. And, of course .. nothing ..
NOTHING .. shall supercede the return of the greatest Genin, Rock Lee!
So, of course .. most of us will possibly enjoy the manga a bit more, since it is current, while the episodes are simply placing things we've already read in motion .. the two of them are just as great. But, not as great as Rock Lee. Wewt, wewt ..
