I think the wait for these eps made it all the more great - after watching 77 eps in the space of 2 weeks and then having to wait a further 2 weeks just put me even more on edge [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Dont know what I'll do, now that I Have run out of Naruto eps to watch in my free time... shame that my girlfriend and I watched 2(?) years worth of anime in the space of 2 weeks...
Hehe GaZ, check into One Piece, it's another good series with a ton of eps .. it's a little slow to get started with, but addictive. Also worth looking into Get Backersm which is complete .. has some great moments. If you truly can't wait for more Naruto, start reading the manga, it's quite good, though I still watch every new Naruto anime episode with as much enjoyment as ever.
I am forever looking for better Anime's , but after seeing Naruto , its hard to believe there is another A* anime waiting to be found [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Kenshin
Naruto
Hellsing
Vandred
Things have moved on since when I started to watch Anime with things like :
Dominion Tank Police
Ninja Scroll
3x3 Eyes
Patlabour
I suppose everyone has seen these classics on this forum [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway - back on topic.
It was great to see the frog-king turn into a full-blown Nine Tails Fox , that was great , oh yeah baby [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Just to mention this, there's this promising anime Tenjou Tenge that's out right now. It has some unbelievable fighting. Only two eps are out now, patiently waiting for the third, but hey, since it comes out at a different time in the week than naruto, if you like it, it'll help ease the tension of waiting. It's really good, check it out when you get the chance.

already downloaded and watched the first episode. Went to download the next and the SeeD was down. I'll get it some other time after Gokusen [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] seems... interesting....
HEY WHY DON'T WE DERAIL THIS TOPIC EVEN MORE SO IT'S COMPLETELY OT.
Lol Catloaf I think that's already been done .. but let me see if I can make it worse ..
I think Taco Bueno > Taco Bell [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Anyone agree?
Naruto is good with combining different moves with other moves.
Who would have thought he managed to combine that pain of a thousand year move with explodsive....that is one smart move.
naruto in the regular days acts like an idiot. but when it comes to battle, he is above everyone elses in his class. But i think the story is getting more serious now, which is good.
do you forget what happend before - it went all serious during their A rank mission and then straight afterwards it all went back to what it was like to begin with!
I predict this will happen again and another story arc will build up and everyone will get all uptight and serious again.
In my opinion, MemnochTheCaT's assessment of Naruto says it all. He is pretty unbalanced. There are some skills that are possibly Jounin-level, and some skills that are still on the lower end of Genin-level. As far as Naruto being ready to become a Chuunin, I think not: he has never demonstrated the ability to lead a group of ninja in a tactical situation, and this is pretty much exactly what a Chuunin is supposed to do.
While beating the crap out of everything that stands in your path in the most obvious manner is impressive, and, in the series, imperative for Konoha's safety, it is not the way of the ninja. The series has been focusing on Naruto's grand-royale-style battles a lot, and perhaps this is why people are so impressed with him. However, we've seen enough of various missions to know that this is not the way of the ninja, and it is not an acceptable mentality for an upper-ranked ninja to have.
how can you like both kenshin and hellsing .... Kenshin OVA rulez, but the rest is pure crap......Originally posted by: Gaz

Working on my future Warhammer Online journal, criticism demanded. Yes it's supposed to be that size.
Is vandred worth watching? ive heard mixed reviews on it so i wasn't sure if i should get it or not? Patlabour....now thats a classic why not go further and say sailor moon and SAMURAI PIZZA CATS!
Okay I'm too lazy to read through all these posts. I agree naruto is strong but strength isn't everything.
As the two examiners mentioned after Naruto's boust with Neji (probably spelled it wrong, I'm bad with names.) They're both strong but reckless. If they were to be considered by that they wouldn't pass the exam, if compared ti Shikamaru. (Go Shika!)
I agree that naruto is strong but he is too blunt forced he needs to take into consideration those around him more. He is beginning to do so though and if the battle in episode 78 and 79 between G and N was to be his exam I think hey may stand a better chance at passing.
I have not read the manga's nor have I peeked at any of the spoilers but if I had to guess so far from what I have seen the only one who would pass this exam would be Shikamaru. He didn't use the typical Rambo stand in the middle of the open kill everyone with a bow and arrow while bullets seem to miss you always tactic.
He had a plan the whole entire time and used it to his advantage. He has great leadship aspects and tactics. Course I am biased to Shikamaru because I relate to that kid the most. I was just like him when I was fifteen. Heh I'm still a lazy arsed guy who never applies himself.
well what so bad about having open taste ?!
Keshin the series, watched the whole TV series. the OVA is boring and (4 dvd's + movie under label of Samouri X in the UK).
The TV series is just like Naruto but with Samouri (in terms of action, character developement and comedy style).
Vandred, as I said, one of my favourites.
BTW trying to compare different anime's is stupid, I like The Shawshank Redemption and Matrix - they are great on their own merits and can never be realistically compared due to a completly different subject matter that they are based upon.
Hellsing is ace - if you watch the whole series in one night [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Everyone who I know who has seen Hellsing (I mean IRL) , have loved it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Everyone has their own favourites [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
back on topic.
I loved the frog turning into a huge fox - that was great [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
also I thought that Naruto beating Gaara was amazing , I was jumping up and shouting abuse at Ichiha Sasuke with the middle fingers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Most excited Ive been about an episode of Naruto yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
GaZ, watch the double-posting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] There's a nice little edit button that works great!
MeoW :X
personally, I would have thought more of it, the Fox kinda disappointed me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Originally posted by: Gaz

He took lead in the "forest of death" or whatever... yeah... and Chuunin are not supposed to be leaders of a tactical group. Chuunins make up the tactical group. What they were doing in the forest, going to get Sasuke, that was a Chuunin Tactical Team. Sakura was screwing around, but Shika was doin a damned fine job... I think Naruto is like the bazooka thick necked army types carry around.... kinda hinders your progress, but will destroy all.Originally posted by: freezel-san

Also, Naruto wasn't really ready to become a Genin, but Iruka bumped him up, and he did fine... he adapts when he has to, they will make him a chuunin, and he'll get stronger by being the least tactical... expect more jutsus (stealth and spying) from this boy
It's a lot easier to be a gennin than a chuunin though. And when did he take the lead in the forrest of death?
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
