chap. 370and 371 weren't that bad
I have never read any of the manga and was wondering how it compares to the anime. I was thinking about starting on the manga for naruto and bleach since i have caught up on the anime for both.
Currently watching yu yu hakusho though which will be done in a few days.
Thanks in advance for the input.
the diff is the manga has no color and the attacks are less flashy but u can get more into it
Cool, well i might look into it after midterms

I just watched Naruto Shippuden 29&30 last night. It was definately a great episode. Was wondering if anyone else has watched it yet?
If you read the manga, you'd of stabbed your eyes out in disappointment at episodes 29/30.
a one hour episode which took place in two chapters... other episodes (before shippuden) would use like 3 chapters for one half hour episode (and it eventually caught up to the manga, so fillers where used.)
so, 15 mins of my time was streched to an hour... I want my hour back.
They still haven't even revived Gaara yet! I swear... they should have already told us who the Akatsuki leader is in the anime.. hell, Jaraiya is already about to fight him in the manga. Next chapter (tomorrow) he will be.
I'm not going to watch the anime anymore, its a waste of my time, I'm gonna watch it all one year from now, maybe by then they'll have released the Akatsuki Leader's name...
Seriously, the anime is so slow paced, its not even funny.
20 minutes of that hour episode was angle shots of people's faces. I'd prefer fillers then this crap.
I'd be burning Naruto at the stake if it wasn't for the awesome manga.
Here's a little glimpse of how slow the anime is.
3 months ago. I read 20 chapters of the manga, ahead of the anime. (up to gaara's death and revival) and it still hasn't happened.
Still.
20 chapters.
Thats pathetic.
Most people who have read the manga would agree that fillers where better then Shippuden.
Naruto Manga >>>>>>>> Naruto Anime
Everyone still watching the anime, give the manga a try, I'll be amazed if you go back. (Still watch the anime, but read the manga too at least, fight sences are all you have to look forward to in the anime)
Besides, a manga chapter comes out ever week.. while we wait almost a month in between animes....
[/rant]
In case you didn't read my huge rant.
MANGA > ANIME
Main points:
Manga: Comes out every week
Anime: Comes out every second/third week
Manga: Fast paced
Anime: Slower then a snail. It doesn't have a pace.
Well, do you know what chapter the manga is at when its at shippuden 29-30?
End of Chapter 278 is end of episode 29.
Oh my god.. I also just realized you guys haven't met Sai yet.... read 4 chapters. You'll meet him.
And Kiba's Team!!!
<3 Kiba's Team <3
He should come up next episode, but knowing how long they'll stretch Gaara's revival, I swear they're gonna dedicate the whole episode on that one chapter.
You know what's funny? The fight Team Gai was in, didn't even last a chapter.
yeah i know, it was pissing me off that it took about 5 minutes to watch all the copies crumble :@ and then a few more for them to look shocked.
^^ Thats what they resort to, to stretch the episode out, so they won't catch up with the manga. They have a really big gap to fill.. they seriously have nothing to worry about. Excpessially if they only release an episode every second week.. seriously.. just use the two chapters made those two weeks (or rather, two weeks before, they need time to draw it out/make the episode.
Fillers are still better then there stupid facial expressions...
Read the manga. now.
Lol I will probably start reading the manga once I get done with my finals

the funniest part was when naruto called old lady chiyo(spell) a *****
lol yeah, thats why i like the jap versions better than the edited english ones.
^^ my word got deleted automatically wow!im sure i spell it wrong lol anyway the jap is def. better believe it!
the dub is atrocious.
Subbed jap is better.
Manga is best.
Also, anyone who hasn't read the manga, read chapters 239-249, its a flashback arc and explains how kakashi got his eye.
has any one read the new manga yet?
i even gave naruto withdraws when he decides to take a week off

Yeah I just watched shippuden episode 43 last night and some of a glimpse of naruto fighting in his new form. It was pretty tight. Can't wait for the next episode thats for sure.
ya pretty sweet can't wait for the manga tho....
