More ninjas, less mythical creatures

I hope people knew that it was going to go in this direction it is headed, with the demons and all, considering we find out about the Kyubi in the first episode and it's sealed inside the main character.

i think its apparent that we will see more characters with demons in them. i thought it was apperent as soon as jiraiya told naruto what he thought that itachi and kisames true goal was. hell, its even more apparent now that the akatsuki referes to them as jinchuuriki (sp?) and when deidara ask wich juchuuriki was sasoris target. if naruto and gaara were the only ones, then there would be no need to ask

This collection of Yomas is only the beginning of a wonderful series. There is bound to be scores of incredible ninja out there like Kakashi, Kabuto, and Gai who will fall into future arcs in the future.

a couple people posted on here about the Rasengan vs. Chidori on the hospital roof top saying how dumb it was or why they used it there in a filler and such but think about it.

before that happened, sasuke thought he was tough shit right? he thought he was so much better than everybody else and pretty soon he could go get his revenge. but then along comes (what he thinks) weak little Naruto and blows the f*ck out of that water tank and shows sasuke that he really isn't as strong as he thought, i like to equate it to a linebacker loosing a game of tug-o-war to a balerina. So sasuke goes off the deep end with his thirst for power witch leads him to go along peacfully with orochimarus goons.

Now do you think that if that contest had not happened on the roof that sasuke would have gone with them? HELL NO! he would have fought then to his last breath then been kidnapped and then he would have popped out of the barrel, and ran home with naruto in stead of running to orochimaru.

all i am saying is that yeah i guess the rasengan vs. chidori would have been cooler or more dramatic in a different setting at a different time, but in my opinion it was needed there to se up the next part of the story, because sasuke simply would not have gone peacfully if it hadn't happened.

back on topic.

i really like the demons and monsters and such, as long as they keep them down to a reasonable number, i mean if every shmo has a monster in them then it over saturates and takes away from what makes naruto unique. i would like to see more of Lee though. he is the purest fighter and the most fun to watch in the anime. his fight with gaara in the chuunin exam send chills up my spine and kept me on the edge of my seat. what i could use less of however is empty filler battles that make a character look stupid-weak like the battle between naruto and that guy with the bones (forgot his name) just endless narutos jumping in and getting hacked up. no crazy inovative moves, no cool combos, no lightning fast movments or exchange of blows, just 4 narutos at a time jumping in and getting cut, over and over. i know it was to make the bone guy look strong, but it really just made naruto look very very weak. it even looked like it was drawn half-assed by some temp. but then lee showed up and the quality i had come to expect returned in all it's glory.

i think the coolest battle to see would be Lee going all out with Naruto in full nine-tails mode, because he is so animalistic like that, that the whole fight would be lightning fast heavy, heavy fisted, pure taijutsu.

They can talk about the demons as much as they want but i hope that it doesnt become a show that focuses on the people with the demons.

Gaara and Naruto are enough 7 more like them would be too much if they were in the story as much as Naruto and co which wont happens since the manga is called naruto....

Generally the whole Kyubi thing hasn't been overused. Naruto dosen't just whip it out every time he gets into a fight. I think that should give us hope for the future that the series won't be filled with endless super mega generic demon battles.

I can stand the mythical creatures and all the other BS. I just can't stand the summons. You transcend space and time to pull out a huge frog. I just can't wait until they start summoning more powerful creatures like Cerberus, Holy, Diablo, Shiva, or Ifrit. It would have been overkill if Haku would have summoned Shiva (snow country). Sasuke summons Ifrit (since he's always playing with fire). Things like this would have been overkill in my book.
