Naruto Shippuuden. Disappointing?

[jaffacake]

Original Naruto series, fan-fucking-tastic couldn't stop watching it, fights scenes amazing, story line brilliant, characters ORGASM!!!!
BUT
now shippuuden has rolled around, anyone else a little disappointed?
I mean when it finally looks like a fight is about to break out, they have close up of faces of everyone within 100miles of the area (little over exaggerated but owell) and also...
leaves
leaves float by carelessly
THERE FIGHTING IN A DESERT FFS!!
When a fight finally starts, yes, they are pretty damn amazing but some have a abrupt, unsatisfying ending for example the fight between

Spoiler!

Naruto and Orochimaru, I would of quite liked to see Naruto beat more than 7 shades of shit out of him

however
because I got so bored of watching endless build ups and close ups of faces I decided to read the manga and OMG soooooo very much incredible stuff is about to happen. So anyone out there watching the anime and don't like reading manga (friend of mine detestes manga but he likes dubbed so he can fuck off) STICK WITH IT good stuff shall be rolling your way soon...ish, hopefully. Anyone who is up to date with the manga knows what im talking about

Naruto Shipuuden is so disappointing...especially the songs...
Blue Bird? It annoys the crap out of me..-.-

[jaffacake]

lmao, is that the credits song? if so i just turn it off before the credits cos it makes me sick

[Kunoichi]

I think the anime is cool :S

I enjoy the new series. I do believe however that there is not enough fighting and far too many close ups of people's facial expressions.

It was disappointingly however, seeing Naruto come back after over 2 years of training only to know like one more jutsu and stabalize his shadow clone jutsu.

Can't wait for his special training though.

Well it's following the manga verbatim, except for showing kakuzu and hidan from akatsuki, which i think would be pretty sweet to see, but instead it's those unknown bastards.

[jaffacake]

i just wish they would hurry up and get to the bloodshed, goner be soo good, but will be waitin till like next year for the final showdown to be turned into anime

I am really disappointed with Shippuden. It's extremely slow and even with that they keep adding filler episodes (even when the manga is years ahead from the anime). In the old episodes in 5-7 episodes they fight 2-3 times with Zabuza, in less than 10 episodes Naruto fights Gaara and the third Hokage Orochimaru, the fight between Naruto and Sasuke takes just a couple of episodes and the list keeps going. In Shippuden it took about 20 episodes for Sakura and Chiyo to beat Sasori while Kakashi and Naruto where following Deidara throughout this time. The fight between Naruto and Orochimaru that in the manga was just 3-4 pages, here stretched for 3-4 episodes. And I am not even going to mention the non fighting moments. SLOOOOOOOOOOOW and in most case pointless. Not only that but character development that was one of the strongest points in the first series came to a halt. You can't see any development in any of the characters while in the old episodes each and every one of them grew and matured (Naruto stopped being weak and useless, Sakura stop pitying herself, Sasuke changed from a bastard, to a friend and part of the team and from that to a back stabbing BASTARD, etc).
It's like what happened with DB and DBZ. The only thing you can wait now is just the battles. No humor, no drama no nothing
