Right, so the show started last week and so far it's been pure awesome. It's been pretty true to the manga and they haven't let us down. Sure there are the occasional edits, but it's to be expected from manga to anime transition. Afterall, the continuation of the Bleach story arc included characters from the anime only Bount arc. Anyways, who here has seen it and what do you think so far?

Personally, I find it really exciting. Especially since I was behind, but everyone was complaining about the fillers. So I took a chance, skipped about 50 episodes of fillers and checked out Shippuden. I really like it. Especially the voicing. I pay strict attention to voice work, just because I'm a loser like that, and they've done a great job with it. I mean, not only do the voices match the mouth movements (my greatest pet peeve), but they even made a slight change in the character's voices to show the change over the three years. That's something that shines in my eyes.

I can't say I've kept up with the manga, either, but that preview of what's to come at the beginning of episode 1 had me on the edge of my seat. I'll be looking forward to what comes next. This has definitely reignited my interest in Naruto. ^_^

Well, I'm a voice nut too, and I like paying attention to details as well. In all honesty, I noticed more maturity added to the voices. Yes they're almost exactly the same, but the way they're carried shows you how the characters have grown up over the timeskip.

I've been following the manga, and that preview entails the best part of the new series. Those two new characters you had glimpses of are some really awesome additions to the cast. I think it's safe to say, our wait with all the crappy fillers really did pay off.

EDIT: I just watched episode 3 and I swear, it's like going through the original series again. THIS is why I got into Naruto back in the day, for moments like the ones in this episode.

I don't blame you to be honest, everytime I look back, I keep wondering why I got into it. It was the biggest thing back then, and some of the earlier episodes were really interesting. But there was just too much bullshit in between that made it lack appeal the more it continued.

That and its fans do it no benefit

It depends on the fanbase you're talking about. If it's casual animutards who haven't seen anything aside from whatever's showing on Cartoon Network, then yeah, they suck.

I never really liked Naruto either. I watch in on the off chance the internet is not working and there's nothing better on. Maybe there's not enough Uber awesome.

The general idea and basic premise was awesome back in the day, but some of the execution was terrible. I mean seriously, ninjas that wear bright colours and are extremely loud and obnoxious? Also, wtf is up with using kunai for EVERYTHING? It's a godamn throwing knife, that's rarely ever used as a melee weapon. Swords or GTFO.

I've said this before but, I haven't seen a decent ninja anime since the early to mid 90's. Not even the Ninja Scroll series lived up to the reputation of the animated movie version. =/

(Also Pax, sig's too huge. Might wanna take two of those images down.)
