This, I think, would have been greatly preferred.It also is translated as "Do you get what I'm saying?"
...but then I'm of a personality type that is more comfortable with Sasuke's (early serious) disinterested detachment, or Gaara's homicidal glee, so... there's very likely no way to get me to like Naruto the character early in the series.

Word to the wise of all Naruto fans; at the end of the Rescue Sasuke arc, STOP WATCHING. Seriously. Just pretend like that's the end of the anime.
There are a couple of decent moments here and there from then on into Filler Hell (80+ episodes of that shit) and in Shippuden, but the few gold shavings are simply not worth the canyons of plague victim diarrhea you had to eat-burrow through like an earthworm to get at.
If you absolutely have to continue reading Naruto after that then switch to manga-only. I mean, the series still gets pretty godawful after that point, but it's like swapping out the diarrhea chunks for mud.

Seconded. As far as I'm concerned, almost nothing post-timeskip ever happened.

Okay. So, Naruto filler.
Naruto filler operates more like One Piece and Bleach filler rather than 'classic' Inuyasha/Dragonball Z filler. That is, rather than expand existing canon material the Naruto anime makes up episodes from whole cloth. The advantage of this is that it makes it easier to pick out canon bits from non-canon bits if you're really into that.
The downside is that... sometimes the filler is really, really bad. This is because:
A) The filler is typically done by the studio instead of the manga writer itself. Filler has a habit of contradicting canon for this reason.
B) In order to avoid contradicting canon, filler is usually introduced in such a way that it's not consequential to the metaplot except in a superficial way. This... well, this means that filler stories tend to not be very deep. This isn't necessarily bad, but it does mean that villains and plot elements seen in the filler series will probably NOT have a long-term effect on the story. Making it hard to care.
C) Again, because the people who do anime filler rarely have direct involvement in the manga (One Piece being one of the few exceptions) the quality of the stories tend to make the filler suck.
D) To compound these problems, filler typically has a lower budget. Why? Because why spend money superbly animating an episode that many people aren't going to give a shit about because of the above three things? Most of the 'Naruto has such bad animation lol' screenshots come from filler episodes.
So what does this mean?
Thankfully, most of the filler in Part One Naruto is integrated into the story in such a way so that you won't notice unless you read the manga. It does do some genuinely cool stuff for us like give Tenten a fight or expand upon the Temari/Sasuke skirmish rather than... the Land of Tea crap.

So what does this mean?
The eighty-four episodes of Nardo filler completely destroyed Shippuden's ratings. I mean above and beyond the crappy writing in canon. Naruto right now averages about a 4.2 to 4.5 rating and has been for a couple of years.# Arc Name Avg Rating (%)
[001-005] Introduction 7.6
[006-019] Land of Waves 7.3
[020-067] Chūnin Exam 7.7
[068-080] Invasion of Konoha 8.5
[081-100] Search for Tsunade 9.3
[102-106] Land of Tea (Filler) 9.1
[107-135] Sasuke Retrieval 8.2
[136-220] Filler 6.5

Personally, I'd rate these in a different order...
2 Introduction (Good)
3 Land of Waves (Okay)
5 Chūnin Exam (Okay)
6 Invasion of Konoha (Bad)
1 Search for Tsunade (Best)
4 Land of Tea (Okay)
7 Sasuke Retrieval (Bad)
8 Filler (Bad)
The intro has the characters flailing around. It's actually pushing the story forward a bit too fast, honestly, because you want to get to the search for Tsunade or right after it where he's got all his powers. But once you start bringing in the other ninja groups you have to prove that they kick ass and are reasonable friends or foes... But then it becomes pretty clear who can win or lose. Then they start killing off characters rather than have them change position on the stupid scale they've set up. And once Naruto is all powered up after Tsunade, they seem to never actually want to let anything happen.
Once everything filters out into predestined power categories, it's pretty lame.

You might enjoy Naruto: Shippuden more then, Crissa, since it's a lot more plot-oriented than the first series for better or worse.
Shippuden counts as its own series so you don't need to worry about trying to figure out which episode of the two years of filler hell is the last of it. But like I said, in my opinion it's a mediocre series that gets slowly but surely worse as time goes on. And not in a subtle 'you'll only notice it if you're an obsessed fanboy' way, but worse in a fuck-obvious way.

See the title of the thread?
Yes.
See the title of the thread?
Yes.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

+1. I'm somewhat sad that I'm only getting into this show so late in the season, a player in my Shadowrun game suggested it to me for inspiration in "making bad things happen on runs".Maj wrote:On non-Naruto entertainment rocking, I've got to give props to last night's Leverage {OK, TNT, TV, Timothy Hutton}.

This has been my opinion as well, based on the limited amount of the show that I've seen. With the gigantic fandom it's managed to attract, however, I can only imagine that it has some redeeming qualities. I mean, people I respect seem to like Dragon Ballz, which seems to be on the same level. Then again, I think with Dragon Ballz it's more nostalgia.Psychic Robot wrote:Naruto has been and will always be shit, filler or not. Why any grown man would watch it is beyond me.

I don't think comparing it to Dragon Ball Z is fair, for three major reasons.
1) Dragon Ball Z was THE shonen of its time. Until One Piece there has never been anything like it. You have to excuse it at least a little for its groundbreaking factor in the same way we did for Titanic and will do for Avatar.
2) A good portion of Dragonball Z fans are attracted to it due to the manga. The Dragonball Z anime is an abortion and if it wasn't a license to print money Toriyama would have been fully justified in gunning down the animation studio who butchered his work. That tropes of 'spend a whole episode charging your ki' or 'combat is composed of firing megalasers and gormless looks' were created by the anime as a cost-cutting measure; they obviously were not there in the original work. If you've already read the manga and you're just there to see a cool scene get animated you won't care that most of the show is donkey balls.
3) A good portion of Dragonball Z fans are holdovers from the first half. Even ignoring the crap factor of the adaptation, the 'Z' portion just isn't very good. The manga was IMO better when it was still mostly-comedy before it became a fighting manga and gave up most of the humor. Your mileage may vary of course on which portion was better, but the fact is that there was a huge genre shift mid-way and there is a portion of the fanbase still watching due to nostalgia instead of the fact that they like what's going on. I don't care much for the Dragonball Z portion either; I think that the best portion is the Buu arc and that's because Toriyama inserted humor into the show again.

Oh, I noticed the "Dattebayo" on the ends of some of Naruto's lines while watching a couple more episodes.
It may just be that I'm an ignorant babbling gaijin, but it was much more bearable, given that the tone tended to match the sentences, and it wasn't obtrusive. As opposed to some whiney voiced kid screaming "Believe it!" at the top of his lungs all the time...

Any possible way that we can get an entire mini-series that consists solely of Nick Fury smacking people in the motherfucking face with his belt while telling them in obscene ways why they're such inhuman pieces of shit?
I don't think I'd ever get tired of that.

Well, there are quite a lot over the years. Let's see how many I remember.
- Reading the A Song of Ice series for the first time. The endings of A Storm of Swords, oh yes.
- The ending of the first book of the Blood of Kerensky trilogy, from Michael A. Stackpole. Somehow the final scene at the Wolf Clan conclave really surprised me, for whatever reason. ^^
- Fortress Draconis by Michael A. Stackpole. It has some very good world-building and interesting characters.
- The Camacho's Caballeros novels by Victor Milan, set in the BattleTech universe. The death of Subhash Indrahar in the third book should count as one of the most awesome ways a character went out in the history of BT, only rivaled by Takashi Kurita.
- Babylon 5, too many episodes to count.
- Season 5 episode "Fool for Love" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- The Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy by Robert Weinberg.
- The issues of Cable written by Robert Weinberg.
- The death of Gwen Stacy in Ultimate Spiderman, written by Brian Michael Bendis. Wow, that shook me for a few hours. I've never forgiven the bastard for doing that to me.
- Macross Frontier, the latest entry in the Macross franchise. Too many moments to count. Sheryl ganbatte!
- Various fan-fictions, most sadly unfinished.
X-Men fanfic: "Betrayal" by Valerie Jones ( third part in the trilogy unfinished ), "True Believers" by Alicia McKenzie ( Main story unfinished, many side stories which are very good ), "Kid Dynamo" by Connie Hirsch ( finished, skip the epilogue ).
Buffy fanfic: "Necessary Evils" by Barb Cummings ( trilogy unfinished, although the author still gives off mumblings that she'll eventually, maybe someday finish the last part. )
Star Wars fanfic: "Revolution" by YodaKenobi. Try to ignore the terrible grammar and writing style of the first part of that fan-fic series, even that one got its great moments. After that YK hits the ground running and works out one of the best AU's of Star Wars around. Very Anakin Solo - centric. ( WIP, he's getting out weekly updates to his current story "The End of all Light", which will probably finish off the whole storyline. Very frugal writer.)
- Gehenna the Musical. If you are into the Vampire: The Masquerade meta-plot, you'll love this. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1677764/1/b ... bMusical_b
