it's looked down on for two reasons 1. the fanbase 2. it is aimed at kids FFS when you have things like Genocyber, Angel cop, Bast4rd, and Queen's blade out there it's kinda obvious as to what age group it's aimed at.

Bahhh, I had a good reply, but my computer decided it didn't want to cooperate with me and it was lost. The gist of was that just because it's made for kids (and Naruto isn't) doesn't mean it's bad. Naruto has the same age rating that Neon Genesis Evangelion has, btw.

naruto shippuuden is a great quality anime. the art style is well done' music compositition is great' and the story has some good meanings and twist. id rate it higher than bleach' though i enjoy bleach more..... dunno why lol. maybe its that naruto started broadcasting in hd.. or sort of hd lol.

According to a source (dattebayo) neither Bleach or Naruto are in true HD. They're just upscaled. At most it's upscaled 480i. Take that for what it's worth though.

My opinion is Naruto (upto episode 220) is aimed more at kids where as Shippuden is more like all audience. Naruto is my favourite anime btw :jump:

And it's really getting to the interesting bit now. There's gonna be quite number of deaths to come :p Can't wait for this weeks manga chapter to come out too :D

[shakey]

ya' odd that the mangas havent popped up yet. normally they are out by now. their break was last week or the other right?

InuYasha Kanketsu-hen premier date confirmed:

Death Note! I sure loved that series. That dude Light sure was crazzy and wicked.

Inuyasha was nice for about 60 episodes, after which it became repetive and mostly fillers. It should have ended in 80 episodes at most. It's nice for a girl's anime but not for me.

Great Naruto chapter this week :) I just love it when Madara gets all "I'm the old powerful guy that knows everything". Only thing that I didn't like is the ongoing "Hawk vs Kumo" fight. I find it too confusing, but it may be just me :/

Fights in naruto shippuuden seem to drag on for too long. And the pace of the action is a lot more slower than in the original naruto.

A teacher walked into my class today, telling us he had just watched Naruto during his work. No one answered but me and 2 others. Cool way to find out who watches anime and who doesn't :p

Ha, nice.

Ya, the fights do last a little longer in shippuuden. I remember the puppet one was like 10 episodes it seemed lol. But, its normally all great. I can't say I haven't enjoyed a single bit of the manga yet or anime that has stuck to the story. And to talk about long fights, how long has Bleach had this royal rumble going :p What a great chapter. Love was awesome, and his weapon was just insane! I can't wait to see #1's pack in action. This looks like it will be a great battle. Both of these series I'm afraid are at their peak. I'm sure it will be great until they end these current arcs, but I fear we could be ending some great ones again. I just don't see the stories going further once they finish up what is currently going on.

movie this month.... Since it wasn't released on the 3rd, it should be Sept. 30th :)

[Berserk87]

naruto is pretty good :D

[Neo003]

Ok I just finished the movie "The End of Evangelion", That is one screwed up writer you got there. I thought the last episode was funny, but really this movie takes the cake.

I think the writer poured his decades of experience being in love with his mother and being rejected by every girl he meet and blend it into this movie.

[shakey]

ya' but i was still hoping for a early release :p not much longer though.

[RadishTM Veteran]

Heart-warming episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, awesome to see Mari finally find her family :happy:

A bit uncertain as to what is going to happen with Mirai and Yuuki now, the background music gave off an odd vibe towards the end :s

Radish?

[Matrix XII]

I haven't seen Bleach or Naruto for a while now.

I heard that Naruto is back on its main arc again, is that true? Those fillers were getting annoying.

I'm scared to watch the recent Bleach fillers too :s

[Neo003]

Bleach has a nice arc going on right now, I would say best one yet. Also yeah naruto is back to the main story which was a nice relief.

Is anyone watching Bleah movie on Cartoon network.

[rustix]

Yes Naruto is back on main arc. And the recent Bleach filler is... wait for it... awesome!! :shifty:

[Hak Foo]

An anime without fillers would have to derail from the manga at some point when it catches up. Bleach and Naruto put fillers in when they start to catch up, only to expand the story and give the manga more time to get ahead.

They could, instead, do a 26-episodes-on, 26-episodes-off schedule to stay behind the manga.

Why not?

[shakey]

too much of a wait. instead of waiting 26 weeks for something new, we can have about 10 weeks of filler and the rest story based. Some filler is not bad as well. Bleach is proving that atm. If more filler was like this, I'd say it would be very welcomed to have such mini stories.

It's when the filler is pointless filler, like beach volleyball or visiting grandma type stuff. If it is filler that explains back story or secrets of the history, im normally all for it.

And to add to that they need to be appropriately timed fillers too. I don't like this breaking off right in the middle of a huge fight stuff. Naruto at least hasn't done that yet. They make their fillers happen at fairly slow spots in the story, at least. Not that any of the Naruto fillers have been worth watching..

Is episode 22 of Pandora Hearts out yet?
