Posted January 10, 2010 I'm surprised it's filler in Naruto already, was expecting it to start after the nextarc since it's quite a big one. I still hate the pacing of it though. Watched the Sasuke/Itachi fight to see how things were, don't really wanna go back to watching it. Manga all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2010 I thought the pacing was fine, in fact I thought it had been great ever since Jiraiya arrived at the Hidden Rain village. You can't expect it to fly by at the speed of the manga, not only because speech takes longer than reading, but because the fights would be anti-climatically short. Five or six chapters would be covered in every 20 minute slot and we'd be caught up. Anime has the edge over manga for me because it's longer each week, because of the animation quality behind the fights but most importantly the voice acting bringing it to life. I think a lot of people only prefer the manga because it's further ahead - you want to know more so you read ahead to catch up, of course you like it more because the story has progressed further - and of course you like the anime less because you've seen it all before. But once you've caught up it doesn't matter where you're up to, it's the same weekly wait for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2010 I feel like it gets manic hectic loads of canon stuff for maybe a month, then is devoid of any canon stuff for maybe another month. Would be nice to get a better balance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're wrong though, I used to think the same, but I forced myself to stop reading the manga and the anime got loads better now. Everything seems slow when you already know hats going to happen.

Posted January 13, 2010 In Japan, a poll conducted by the otaku matchmaking service Otakuma reveals that four out of five of the top shows watched by female anime fans are about giant robots, while four out of five of the top shows watched by male anime fans are about little girls. Japan sure has change it anime shows in 00's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2010 Personally I find that otaku statistic both hilarious and expected, and it's like disruptive selection of genres. Probably doesn't make for good anime overall though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) FUCKING AWESOME! STILL FUCKING AWESOME! I was expecting for the 8 tails to be able to fight them and eventually escape, but he completely dominated! It was such a good episode to put Sasuke in his place, but Kishimoto had to fucking ruin it at the end. Still, I believe it isn't over, we can count on the Kage to fix it. Also, fillers.

Posted January 14, 2010 Just got volume 21 of Fullmetal Alchemist in the post today. Now for a good read... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Isn't that the milk one? The otaku are running the industry to the ground. Yeah, that one. Surprisingly, there was a lack of breast milk drinking. Which was why I watched one episode and it still managed to be horribly bad for other things. For example: There is a female character who is a nun and she uses her cloths to fight (pantyshots ahoy) and has cat ears. Her name? Teresa.

Posted January 15, 2010 That fight was over pretty fast. I like how Sasuke got extra strength from protecting those that protected him, and that it made him think of Team 7. Pretty cheesy but cool anyway, Naruto shouldn't be the only one able to go super saiyan to protect his friends. It got me thinking though, 143 episodes in and Naruto hasn't really had a single proper fight. He flipped out on Orochimaru and Deidera, but they barely count. He beat a fake Itachi and Kazoku with one hit each (and a miss). Sasuke on the other hand has had 4 cool, full fights. It's Naruto's turn ffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why I was expecting the filler to begin again after the next arc since it's a big one. Nuff' said. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2010 I haven't read Naruto for ages. Missed a couple weeks a few months back and never caught up. Maybe one day I will. Anyways, anyone watching Durarara!!? (the exclamation marks are, I believe, part of the title, no just me being a prat.) Tis very good, or at least from the first episode it appears to be anyway. Youths and biker gangs in Tokyo from the brains behind Baccano. S'good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Can you remember where you saw up to? It has actually been really good for quite a while now. I think perhaps just before the 5 Kages met or something? Problem is I can't really remember anythign that was going on now. Edited January 16, 2010 by dan-likes-trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
