How Naruto obsessed are you?

No I don't deny that ultimately naruto is a kid's show as the rule of thumb goes for most shonen animes.

But other more mature themes that occasionaly appear in the series is always what's kept me hooked. At their core most shounen anime are the same, but generally it's style and form that helps separate certain series apart. Plus it seems that in Japanese television at least their properties aren't censored and they seem to get away with alot more challenging material then what's present on american tv.

So the prospect of seeing such momments like Garra's, and Sauske's are things I'm looking forward to seeing adapted for a rather naive american audience. It amuses me.

Oh I wonder if the Kakashi's crucification via mangekyou sharingan will make the cut?

One thing I was pleased to see though is that naruto usually rated TV PG, as opposed to TV Y7 with the little FV under it. It dosen't make it a completely mature show that's not targeted towards children, but it does give a bit more weight then something like yu-gi-oh.

This is one of the first threads I posted in when I joined the forum, if I remember correctly. That was quite the thread resurrection there.

I have to say that my enthusiasm for Naruto is significantly less than the last time I posted here. I haven't watched an episode in more than a year. The fillers were just too much for me, so I quit wasting my harddrive space. I did make an Anbu mask last year for halloween though. It turned out really well, too! I made it out of plaster, so it was pretty heavy. Next time I might just invest in some plastic to save myself a lot of trouble.
