Well, I couldn't stand it any longer. I caved and signed myself back up for another month of NarutoFan Plus. I haven't seen past 130, so it looks like I will be having myself a great weekend...

(And I've been staying out of this thread, becuase I know how you guys are with the spoilers!)

Spoilers??? I don't know what you're talking about. No spoilers around here. ;)

Well, at least you guys are pretty good at putting the:

[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']Maybe it's just me but 134 was disappointing.[/QUOTE]
They really screwed it up. The fighting was bad, the music was bad, they couldn't even capture the emotional part of it. Huge let down.



***********spoiler****************





But I was surprised by that Akatsuki member appearing at the very end. That wasn't in the manga, was it?

Yes. Chapter 234, last page. :D

I couldn't agree more, the flashbacks have never hurt the flow of a fight more then they did in ep 134, completely destroyed any kind of emotional build up going. But my main complaint was the music, good god was it terrible this time around, huge let down indeed.
 
I personally don't know what you guys were talking about. I don't think 134 was bad at all. It was pretty good if you ask me. The flashback was unnecessary, but besides that, I don't think it was bad at all. Granted, Bleach 31 was amazingly better, but that's cause Ichigo/Renji is such an awesome fight, even better than Naruto/Sasuke if you ask me.

I didn't like Bleach 31 as much. The Ichigo/Renji was for the most part completely one sided until Ichigo busted out his secret move. The fight didn't really have alot of back and forth to it like Ichigo's first with that bald guy (forgot his name). Also my favorite thing about Bleach is the humor, this episode was just too serious.

Well, comparing the fight animation from 133 to 134 you can see a wide gap between quality. There were fewer frames used in 134 and it was very noticable unlike the fluid motion in 133. I figured there'd be more fluid animation goodness and that's what disappointed me. I already knew what was going to happen (as I read the manga) so the conclusion didn't bother me as much.

Yeah, but it had Urahara being a fucking badass. That makes up for anything you find wrong with it. Plus I loved when Ichigo finally did bust out that move.
 
[quote name='zewone']134 was okay. Nothing to write home about. Like you said jaykrue, the animation took a step down from 133.[/QUOTE]

I don't know about a step down... more like stumbling all the way down the stairs!
 
[quote name='dcfox']You know, I'm kind of sad this story arc is coming to an end. It means we won't be seeing Sasuke for a long time :([/QUOTE]

******** PSEUDO SPOILER ALERT ********



































I wouldn't say a LONG time. If they follow the manga, then the next thing up is the Kakashi Gaiden and i think that can be covered in 2-4 episodes followed by the 'Naruto Returns in 3 yrs' arc (which I'll admit Sasuke hasn't appeared yet but it's only a matter of time).

Only 2-4 episodes :shock: I don't think it'll be that short. Even the Sakura/Ino fight took longer than that. My guess is they'll try to find a way to stretch it out to about atleat 5 episodes.
 
********** SPOILER ALERT ************



























Maybe. At any rate, the gaiden story was quite short in relative to the story arcs shown so far but I wouldn't expect them to go beyond 5.
 
*SPOILERS*











I've heard they're making a filler arc which is some mission Naruto and Co. go on before he leaves with Jiraiya. I don't see how it's gonna fit in, but it's right after they all get back to Konoha, and Naruto is still pretty fucked up from the Sasuke fight. Next episode is gonna be all the stuff from the manga upon returning to Konoha, then the filler arc.

I just saw that on Narutofan. Judging from the title it sounds interesting, just hope it pans out. The last filler arc they did about the big race was mediocre at best. It pretty much recycled material from other episodes.

If I hadn't been hinted at the stuff to come after the race, I think I would have quit during the race arc. I HATED that arc.
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']DB's got 135 up. Joy.

EDIT: 2 fucking seeds. Sucks to be early. :lol:[/QUOTE]
:lol: 2 seeds and how many leechers?
 
[quote name='dcfox']:lol: 2 seeds and how many leechers?[/QUOTE]

I believe there were 5K+. :lol: I had to just leave it on overnight, gonna watch it now.
 
New manga is up(260), and the following week's Manga is going to be crazy if it follows the title. Not going to give it away, you'll read it when u see it.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I think I finally have the money for Naruto 3 for GC! Where should I get it from and how much for it and the freeloader?[/QUOTE]

I'd say eStarland. All the other places you can get it from have to actual ship it overseas (Play-asia and Lik-Sang for example). eStarland is in NY, so it takes a LOT less time to ship it to a US address. It should be like 80 something after shipping...

They're out of stock right now. :sad:

I got mine from Lik-Sang, I think it took 3-4 weeks but I didn't really keep track.

Hmm, they take Paypal. I could just deposit some of my money and have them put some in my pp account. That could definitely work as they have the bundle of Naruto 3 and Freeloader with free shipping. :D Thanks, I think I'll take that route.

For the record: ordered 3/25 , recieved 4/13 . Less than three weeks total, though it was a loooong fucking 3 weeks. :lol:

That's normal for this fucking slow USPS for stuff mailed in the US. So if it's around there, I'll be glad.
 
ehh it serves it purpose, they would have to shut down the anime if there was no filler to keep the manga ahead of it, which could seriously hurt the popularity of the show. Just keep up with the manga and all will be fine
 
I never really got into either of the choices. I have them downloaded and watches all of Bleach and some of Naruto, but neither really stands out as anything great. Plus one of them had a person that sounded like Frankie Munize, and I can't have that. Whichever one that was, it loses. Get back in the middle where you belong Franky.
 
I should probably watch this week's Bleach and Naruto sometime soon...I don't have high hopes for either, seeing both are filler episodes. At least Bleach should be getting right back to the real story after this episode. Hopefully the Naruto filler isn't that bad...
 
Episode wasn't that bad, at least had a few chuckle moments. Latest Naruto manga chapter made up for any weakness in the anime though, about time Sakura learned just how screwed Naruto potentially is.

Yeah, 261 was pretty good.

I thought this week's Bleach was great. I was kind of getting burned out on the whole Soul Society thing. It was a nice change of pace and it goes back to Bleach's more humorous roots.

Yeah, I liked it.
 
Bleach was awesome, and Naruto was okay. It gets points for me if only for having Jiraiya acting more like the Jiraiya we all know and love. Though I think I officially love Don Kann'oji. The dude is officially fucking psycho...

Those are my two least favorite characters in their respective series. :lol:
