Reading this thread has finally convinced me to start actually
reading the mangas although I do like the animes (even while
they have been slow)

The Japanese really know how to stretch something out,
no? Sheesh.

[jaffacake]

yup they really do ^_^ glad this made you see some sense

[rulermate]

full of fillers and boring they are rewriting story

[rulermate]

just read manga its best

the original naruto fight and come back music was waaay better. but shippuden isnt so bad either.

i just think the anime is going way toooooo slow
its been a year and they're still at the beginning somewhat

While I do find the series taking a very long time to get on with the story. I feel the most disappointing part of the serie's is that naruto( the main "hero") is still a weak and idiotic fool. He's only skills outside of shadowclone's; is the rasengan and thats it. I mean 2 years of training with a Sannin "uber powerul ninja" should of produced a lot better results then what he's been showing in my opinion. If he compare naruto to sakura, lee, or any other of his friends he's still bottom of the barrel. In reality it would only take sakura a single hit to kill him if she wanted to with that insane strength. Even with the series going insanely slow I just feel they did a terrible job with character developement especially in naruto's case 2 years and he sucks while sasuke and his friends are 100% more powerful then him it's very annoying; Sigh more ranting required ><.

naruto did learn to control the kyuubi's chakra more with more tail out(upto 3 he can control)

I do agree about the character development but then again every character that doesn't have a sharigan in this series doesn't get any development but to say naruto is weak............

Spoiler!

no just no his new attack(although it does hurt him also)is the most devastating attack in the manga it obliterates at a cellular level...he killed someone who was supposed to be immortal and its only %50 complete just imagine that baby at %100 and also there is still the keys to unlock the light side of the kyuubi....but the manga is stuck in sasuke mode for now..which i hate....so they probably won't ellaborate on that anytime soon

Naruto is starting to trail off from the manga again. Is it just me or it feels like almost nothing happens in one episode like the episode where he was training.

[Raverx9]

it feels slow cause they only animate like 1-2 chapters while bleach animates like 2-3 chapters per episode

why they animate so little is beyond me.........the have more than enough material for a long time
