    The anime's actually fantastic....minus my gripes with the first season finale. The English dub is really good.

      I've never been a fan of Naruto. Sorry, but something about an annoying as hell, bright orange ninja, always screaming at the top of his lungs, and the emo emperor always moping about how much he sucks, doesn't sit right with me. Mind you, I've only seen the first couple seasons, I actually stopped watching when the emo emperor turned into a demon thing (I forget why) and left, so I don't know if it gets better after that or not.

          Well, okay then, maybe I'll start watching again. I know with Sasuke gone I'll probably enjoy it a lot more.

            Hate to break it to you, but he'll get his screen time. He will get a little less emo as time goes by though, but it'll take some time. He'll still be as arrogant as ever though.

              Dangit, I hate that guy. Even his backstory couldn't make me sympathize with him.

                If you continue watching the show you'll probably end up feeling more sympathy for his big brother than for him.

                    Yup. Not going to say anything more though, as it would be a major spoiler. You'll just have to find out for yourself.

                        I'll check it out eventually. The manga is really good - #94 just came out. Not at all what I was expecting...

                          I thought it made perfect sense in continuity.

                                Black Zetsu could read the Uchiha tablet without the rinnegan? And he retconned almost every significant event involving the Uchiha by being the REALTM reason behind their actions? Everyone over at Manga Helpers is saying that Kishi is just trying to finish up a series he didn't want to go on this long.
