Okay which do you prefer? The Manga or the anime[the dubbed/un-dubbed] doesnt really matter as long as you tell me..

initially i was an anime kiddie. then i moved to manga, now I feel i drift mainly to manga. I love both though. like from reading the manga i can tell which anime episodes i must see. andwhich i really dont care if i miss. generally I must see all of them though unless its fillers, i hate those. :mad:

I hate fillers as well, i wish they would ALL DIE!!! look what they did to Samurai X better known as Rurouni Kenshin! i prefer mangas, but anime definately beats the black and white most of the time. like when ichigo and kenpachi were fighting, who saw those auras in the last exchange? i certainly didnt... if the fillers would end i would rush back to naruto anime, i watch the fillers every week and i wonder if anyone else sees it? the reduction in episode QUALITY...

yeah, naruto manga is far better than the anime cause it has no fillers

d00ds you have to remember you cant really blame kishimoto for the fillers. The anime was catching up to the manga too quickly, basically he's just making a little breathing space for the manga. Remember if the anime catches up then it will be hell for them...

I hate the fillers myself but ive grown to enjoy them. Some of them arent really that bad. Ok maybe they are but hey i still get ma weekly naruto fix from the manga. If only somebody would scantlate it quicker

thats true Skill, the anime was catching up with the manga, and yes some of the filler eps are nice, example the one where they went to look for some bug, it did aight

it sucked, it all sucked, the shika-chou-ino was was fun, except when they cut to see naruto and iruka fight that wasteman. it took a turn for the worse from there, come on, naruto farting and the missions over, cant u give the kid some credit, he did summon gambuto and defeat gaara u know.... yes they want to develop minor characters like hinata and ten ten, trying too hard. wasnt impressed with hinatas move either, ten ten kinda made my jaws flinch a little but nope, no smile

:blink dude.. lol. you take this stuff really seriously.. I tend not to watch the fillers because I dont wanna feel like you do now.. I"ll ike really get annoyed and cuss alot etc.

Wow lex... serious comments.

Hinata's move is kinda cool, i like it because its original. You cant have everybody in the hyuuga clan doing the same thing, there must be something to differentiate them and think of the possibilities, she could probably get her beam to be much longer and stuff and poke ppl in their eyes :rolleyes
I never rated the ending though for that mission though, naruto farting was definately crappy, they could've come up with something better i am sure.

Ten-ten is cool, i like her, she is my fav female genin followed by hinata. The only thing i dislike about ten-ten is the fact that she walks around with a big ass scroll... what happens if she loses the scroll?

ya thats true, that move did truely hard, me did know that Hinata did bad, but that did jut prove my beliefs

you see it, a fart, come on people, I know its a filler but I know you can do better than that

THe fillers.. annoying end of story, but hey I watch em to pass the time (not that I have much)
The Hinata move well yes it cool and such but come the heck oh it looked like cheap garbage I mean they could have had it look so much bloody cooler.
But anyway I wait for the day they bring back the proper episodes till then we grin and bare it (or make angry faces and bare it).
I have no favorite. I like to read the manga but come on the actually see those moved animated you gotta love it.

Yo, on a real when was the last release of Naruto manga, not translation but actual release be it in raw or english. I think 271 is still the last thing up. Jeez man. whats going on kishimoto. first yo put up fillers so the animedoesn't catch up the manga and instead of making mangas to set the distance you just kick back.. and do what. count your money that cn gave you for the first 50 episodes thats what, kishimoto got millions of dollars for the first 2 seasons of naruto. The funny thing is it doesn't seem to be extremely popular not like dbz was back in the day when it just got licensed. hmm I wonder why....

i'll tell you why, cus of di gay voices dem give di characters. kakashi soun gay, naruto soun gay cube. its horrible voice overs. they pronounce his name/ title of show wrong. america scrwed di show up.
as far as popularity, i think technology is the difference, back then we all nevah had high speed net to download dbz, we had to borrow or grin and bear till nex ep a show. i waited years to see a lvl 2, YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!. and it was bloody well satisfactory.
it will catch on though, even i jus waiting or the chuunin exams to start watchin, dat was di best display of chakra for the show.
whether gaara or rocklee, especially sasuke, dats di part of di show wen they made sasuke ur fave. his entrance for his fight with gaara with kakashi sensei ... goodness

yeh That sums it up. that scene th dog
[ spoiler ]

Ref/Examiner: whats your name
Sasuke: slow pause.... Uchiha..... Sasuke [ specail effects leaves blowing everywhere as if the spirit of konoha [ leaf ] was all around sasuke in that scene..


Awesome scene at school we used to play that ish over and over and over.

D_K... the most recent release is 281 raw that released yesterday. The most recent scantlated release i think is 179. D00d you really are getting behind the times. The new manga's are wicked btw.

P.S.S.S.S ----> Where's the translated 280!!!!!!!!:eusa_thin I wonder if i sleep and wake up if later on in the day 280 would be in a form i can read??:bounce

Aint this some funny shit. Naruto fan needs to edit the link to newest chapter, Its still pushing you to the last chapter and not the new one. Thats the reason why i kept thinking the latest chapter was 271 for ages.... they need to deal with that like asap.

they need 2 find some people who will give a good damn translation like bleach7. they have their m7 group who always come through for us. what the hell is narutofan doing??? im here at 279 wondering, oh, gaaras back with no powers, how cheesy... so.. umm... what next?

naruto has been scanlated up to 281 i think, check the forums and not the site. the owner of the site is busy so he cant update like he used to

Which brings up a new point. I wonder exactly how powerful gaara is now seeing that he no longer has a jinchuuriki inside of him? I wonder if he will still be able to hold the kazekage title with his current fighting ability


I wonder if he can sleep off the black around his eyes!!?!?!?!:eek:

Btw... m7 been slow on this weeks release of bleach though..

lmao yeh, it looked like holes into his mind. black holes. Um I'm thinking gara's in serious trouble, He's a genjutsu user and he no longer can controll sand. He doesn't have that sheild that he needs to succesfully use genjutsu. He's screwed from the immediate looks of things. I really wonder what kishimoto has in store.

genjutsu user? you sure bout that D_k... bwoy from all the naruto episodes i've seen i dont think i remember ever seeing Gaara use any genjutsu attacks at all. I'm sure u meant ninjutsu right?

(Remember Genjutsu is mind jutsu's)

what u guys hould be talkin about is where is sasuke and how he looks now and how powerful he is. and when are we goin to find out who the akatski leader is

Um i really rember readin somewhere that he's a genjutsu user. when you think about it because of gara's ichibi, he hasn't have the need to use his own techniques or rather his own abilities he relies on that of shukaku.

[flash back portal effect]

Remeber when gara was fighting naruto as shukaku and he was on shukakus head, that was the first time in my entire life and probably the last so far I've seen gara use a jutsu that didn't involve sand and it was infact a mind jutsu [ genjutsu ] he put him self to sleep [ force full trance ] so that shukaku would take over full control and go beserk on naruto.
[/flash back portal ]

you remember that.. So you see I think he is a genjutsu user mi amigo..

-- I'm gonna leave my mistake but I stand corrected. Your right I'm wrong.. Its just ninjutsu.

I think we might be in a bg suprise when it comes to Gaara and his abilities.... From what i see Naruto it's still a superficial manga where basically nothing bad really happens to the good guys.
So Gaara might just come out a little better than before by some miracle chance (***shrugs***)

:confused: wow that was a quick discussion. Cho now i dont have nothing to cuss bout.

*ok ill cuss enigma*

Of course bad things happen to the good guys... look at sasuke, he was a good guy now he's all curse sealed up and orochimaru'd up....

Malloc did say something very important though, i wonder how sasuke looks now (thats my most important issue, how him look) and how his abilities are. And the other thing i wonder is if naruto has anymore jutsu, he doesnt exactly seem like he's doing much more than the usual clones and rasengan although he seems to have mastered using them now.

Who the hell is this sia character. It cant make expressions I said it because i figured its not human. But what is it. Its not a kogetsu cause there's no way hat dude has chakra threads that long that he would send sai out on a mission with team kakashi and control it remotely [ only naraku can do great things like that ]. And that Akatsuki member fooled everyone with the explosion of a claybody.. well done nice skape goat move, I really hope to see gara making a comeback. At least he has his life..
I really need to see some action betwen sasuke and naruto. finish off that semi fight that happened the last time and see whats what after 3 years.:swars

p.s Temari is such a fox..

What he uses shukaku for is to control the special sand in his gourd i think. i thnk the powerful sand techniques he used against the bone dude, dont currently remember his name and the techniques used against clayboy are his own. He definately doesnt have his sand shield and he cant transform and prolly his chakra is reduced somewhat but i think he can do sand ninjustsu. I hope he gets some sleep. It is going to be a whole new arc starting with this sai person. i was hoping clayboy would die, but i guess, he had 2 be really smart to beat gaara single handedly so...

EDIT:: umm Skillachi you mentioned something about m7 taking long to release. i saw a pretty wise trend taking place last week on bleach 7. The margin of time in which they released the raw and then the sub was very small, like a couple hours in between, i would much prefer that than narutos 2 week goin on 3 still no sub bull

Um dude, I realy dont think so. The gourd he carrys I assume for the even that there is no immediate sand for him to work with. it takes him time to break down rocks under the earth to make sand so the gourd is like safetly or basically him walking with his weapon thats all. Its not that shukaku only controlls that. Also the sand shield was an automated effect of shukaku so thats out for gara now. I really feel he cant manipulate sand on his own anymore though.

I'm wondering that maself. Gaara didnt call on the power of shukaku much (openly anyway). Not the same way that naruto would call for the fox or anything. He just controls sand. I always wondered if it was gaara doing it or it was shukaku or a mixture of both.

Gaara's changed and doesnt need the beast... naruto.....????

lol Virus i just love your av...

why are u guys so worked up about gaara he is just a side character, what u should be talkin about is
where are the other youmas and who posses them?
who is the leader of the akatsuki?
what do they really need the youmas for?
who is sasori's spy on orochimaru?
what has he been doin all this time?
and how sasuke will not loose his body to oro?

an akatsuki member didn't want to fight kakashi he must have gotten a lot stronger and how did he attain that mangekyou

I have my "theories", but.... i'll keep them to myself. We all know what happens when i get carried away about naruto...

Well those issues are hot on everybody's mind. But its obvious there is no immediate answer to that question. So in the mean time we discuss what there might be immediate answers to. Especially this sai figure. Wtf is up with him/her/it and why kishimoto want to make a soujiro

Soujiro was a human, i dont think sai is.. i think hes some pinnocio tho, u know a puppet that was made human... or a body that a soul was binded to, oh wait, dats bleach... that character is just plain shady

**** has anyone else seen 282?? Akamaru get big 2 ****, the chapter seems well short

K um. first Chouji's looking more like his dad. seems hes' gotten a bit better too. unto the bigger deal though. SAI. This thing may prove a formidable ally. that jutsu is pretty interesting. Ink that materializes.. so he can draw watever he wants and bam its real. thats cool as hell.

yup, that is true Chouji does now look more like his pops and has gotten better, but that Sai person, kool ability, but wat a diss man

You know at first i thought it was sasuke when i saw the scroll unwrapped cause I've got this Wallpaper of sasuke with some scrolls like that, and the black costume on Sai looks very sasuke like.. hmm silly me i guess

welcome another evil character sai

have you guys read the translation.. sai's weird what kind of question is that to ask a guy.. unless its a girl that is.. we're still unsure to what sai is.

your weak, do you really havea penis..

I feel this is the result of bad translation. probably it meant are you really a man.. or something to that effect to speak lowly of naruto's masculinity. If thats not the case then sai's a bit wierd yeh.

no its: WHERE ARE YOUR BALLS YOU WEAK BOY!!! yo these people have gotten things wrong before but i am yet to see the day they make someone who looks like a girl and actual girl (case in point Haku and the sick boy in the fillers), so sai is definately a boy. how powerful is his ability though? what can those pieces of art do? and really now, how can he be so freaking out of order to call di big man... ero-senin trained, nine tails carrier, 3 years fresh, just come from war naruto anything less of a man, string him up and heng him up alive.. di SOB!!

lol talk about bad translations... my word
Naruto really turning to shit. BTW sai is a girl, notice that mid-drift shes wearing. Nobody in the series is that gay... except orochi

lol talk about bad translations... my word

You obviously have short term memory I remember at one point orochimarus apprentice [ sasuke ] got this uper short shorts. man that was border line disturbing. he made some cool attacks against gaara and what not but those shorts man.. do something aabout that i dont endorse that at all sasuke :eusa_snoo

I dont watch naruto na the longest while. So i have no recollection of sasuke in short shorts.... and i dont think i want to have any either.

Jah know... a so di man dem start bun out naruto... di man dem not even realize seh new manga release with the return of ino and an answer as to who the new d00d was.

Ino not looking bad at all, I like her new suit but it doesnt look anything at all like what you expect a ninja to be wearing does it?

Ino looks str8 up, i think the writer having a field day showing off what new deasigns he came up with, good for me, so bring it on. who else we need to see?

Sasuke, his custume should be like uber awsome. nothing but pwnage when he steps unto the scene naruto will propbably pause look on hims suit and mumble something liek sasuke's cooler.

lol, ya thats true, he will say something like that then the fight will begin

kishimoto drawin out the story in the manga. dbz lost a lot of fans becuase of this. i remember at one anime convention one of the dbz creators went on stage to make a speach and was booed

well we already know sey the anime going down the dbz path, but y would he do the same to the manga, has the money gone to his head or is it that he is pressured to release more and he's running out of ideas. cause to me I think there are only a few major fights remaining:
Sasuke Naruto
Naruto Akitsuki(can't even remember the spelling)
Sasuke Itachi
and maybe a fight between Orochimaru and Konoha, can't think of nemore can u??

sanins.. they're gonna fight again. kakashi will also have a major fight as well. Well i hope so :D

So the whole deal is that guy "sai" or thing is an anbu root sorta like an elitist group that was created by danzou i assume. I wonder if he has alterior motives. like he's a akatsuki under cover. did anybody else get ne weird vibe from that chick thats tsunade's subordinate?? i saw her smirk when they called in danzou in to the room [ they : konoha seniour advisors ]

I dont think thats y she smiled, i think the reason why she smiled was because Tsunade was finally taking up her responsibility as a hokage seriously by laying her life on the line for the village.

oh the smirk looked sorta devious cuase i was like what a twist kishimoto chose to put in. wow that woudl seriously damage tsunade.. i mean it damaged me mentally just thinking of the probabilities a lil nobody like her was actually some master mind probably pulling the puppet strings on those akatsuki bastard. leading tsunade on some bait up mission which was to turn their attention fromt he real plan.....

i doubt the plot is that deep. its not like bleach where even the smallest phrase is tied to something... no not the same. so i wouldnt be expecting that to mean much

Lol jah know you obviously dont give kishimoto all the ratings he deserves. Please remember that naruto was once actually a decent anime. The only reason it sucks right now is because of the fillers. Jeez guys i hate them too but dont be such fassies

yer.. i mean thats waht i thought the deep plot route. that would have been awesome brain overload and all. and kishimoto really hasn't displayed ne form of depth level like that throughout naruto. so @lex does have a point @skilalchi

Hm... people completely give up on Naruto... Guys there are no Manga fillers.

Who next to me has been keeping up with the Manga... that yamato guy ... him wickeddd starrr, man moving like hokage wid him power.

him haad yes. i wonder who trained him. him mek a house out of nothing, wtf? and is one real classy house 2 and di sai development getting on ma nerves now. i want some action

sai is just this weird dood, but I have a feeling that him fighting skills up there and he has some underlying motive with his mentor to take over Konoha, as for the new team leader, powerfull a baxide

Actually.... for some strange reason i think i already understand how the plot will develop...

As we can see Sakura is getting very close to Sai... wherever they meet and whoever they fight... something will happen to sakura and sai will end up going against his master's wishes to save sakura or something... thats what i think will happen. Its just a bit too wierd that all of a sudden sakura wants to try to talk to sai after sai diss the man she love.

Yamamoto.... bombaat... man make prison and house and all forms of stuff.... out of thin air... = boss

That is di power of elite anbu? so why di hell dem have a struggle when sand and sound invade?? foolishness

You may argue that this d00d was away from the village on a special mission at the time of the sand and sound invasion. Also it was a surprise attack... there are so many reasons.

@lexlimitless i cant believe you said that. i mean you saw orochimaru's genius plan executed in serious precisiion orochimaru is no idiot the third barely killed him and lost his life and orochimaru is all fine and well now. i hate to agree with malloc x but orochimaru is like next to a god in naruto trust me. check this. he came in with the sound four and se tup his shield around him and the third his ultimate his perfect defence. there was noway an anbu could penetrate it we saw wha happened to the fool that shouted "hokage sama - dashed in and burned to death on contacct with the shield". you know what i'ld like to imagine orochimaru having kimimaru at full strength on that mission can you say no more konoha.
and for another matter they had gara causing a rampage around the village, so in essence it was a dual attack the sand really wasn't invading the leaf but as tricked into doing it by a fake kazekage "orichimaru in the kazekage's skin".

Is it me or are the manga's getting drawn out and lazy.. i mean, all this sentimental crap between naruto & sai... i have no emotions :eusa_snoo reminds me of soujiro

Kish really needs to pick it up.

that is what i say too. really drawn out and boring like di writer juss feeling lazy and is juss releasing cuz he has 2

yep i figure sooner or later this would be the direction of it.. its been licensed and he wants to drag it out and have alot more earning potential on it in the end in hope that the entire series will be licensed... i just really hope you know which manga doesn't become like this

289 was quite a release.. i gotta say.. its quite ironic too cuase wehave been discussing our suspicions of that certian traitor in the naruto episode thread. The akatsuki spy is actualy kabuto.. who would have thought

289 was quite a release.. i gotta say.. its quite ironic too cuase wehave been discussing our suspicions of that certian traitor in the naruto episode thread. The akatsuki spy is actualy kabuto.. who would have thought
it had to have been kabuto, hes the only one close enuff to orochi to spy on him. kabuto is really a shady character, there's more to come from him in the future...i bet his past is an interesting one

i knew it was kabuto when sasori said he had a spy , i also figured out that kabuto would eventually start serving oro. oro is not stupid enuff to be decieved, he is the master of deception

kabuto's true intentions will be known soon enuff...don't u think its possible orochi found out about the spying and as such he had to serve orochi or make it seem as if he was???

kabuto is probably one of the strongest persons in the anime, oro likes to use his servants in experiments but kabuto seems to not be afraid that one day oro might use him in a n experiment. kabuto has somethin up his sleeve

kabuto has to be one of the strongest persons in the anime, he was a subordinate of sasori who was instructed to spy on orochimaru...that couldn't have been done by just anyone, sasori must have seen some potential in him

Yea we can assume kabuto is one of the strongest people simply because he was ranked as a jounin that is high enough to beat kakashi which is also ranked as one of the strongest persons in the anime.

well given the true genius of kakashi, i'm sure if kabuto should meet him again kabuto would have his romp handed to him after it has been torn off with a raikiri

kakashi could seal kabutos ****...argument done...anything kabuto could do, kakashi could copy

kakashi could seal kabutos ****...argument done...anything kabuto could do, kakashi could copy
thats why kabuto ran the second time he met kakashi face to face, he didn't want kakashi copying his jutsus plus kakashi was more confident that second meeting. i think that his one month of training helped him get back on track
