Thanks.

Got that right.

Here's the Final Banner that I could create, I used the Tumblr background as a reference : ( No Hashtag, Adjusted Text Gradients, and More detail on the whole thing. )

 

[Seda]

Neat stuff! I also changed the embedded link to one of your Youtube things.

That new banner might come in handy early April

We'll see if I'm in the proper mood

Surprisingly you can buy modified 3DS's with video out:

Anyways, I went ahead and spoiled the hell out of Naruto for myself. I mean I had been semi-following it since it hit Toonami years ago but now I know all that stuff about Itachi, Minato, Pain, etc. It's actually really interesting. I went ahead and watched a couple eps of Shippuden over the weekend (Sasuke vs. the Five Kages) and it was, um, really good. Like really good! I dunno but people always lopped it in with Bleach but it's not nearly that bad at all. In fact the quality difference is startling.




Actually, I only started looking into that stuff since I was bored and started marathoning Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals on Crunchyroll. It's both a gateway drug to the main series and crack. Seriously one of the funniest things I've ever watched.

 

[789shadow]

Shippuden is ass garbage Sasuke shit.

 

[B-Dubs]

The Sasuke stuff is annoying as hell, but it's still better than Bleach. Marathoning makes almost everything better.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Shippuden is ass garbage Sasuke shit.

I dunno he got pounded hard (lol) in the eps I watched. Expected him to wreck everybody but he still has limits even with two Mango Sherrytemples and O Suzanna.

 

[789shadow]

Shippuden also throws out anything that the first series had going for it. Every side character disappears and all the themes from part 1 are completely contradicted.

Did you see Danzo's arm yet? That was pure BS. Also the fainting, oh god he fainted. But yea its not that bad when it's focused on Naruto.

Old joke I know, but had to do it.

I also liked that Gaara is

a smooth ass Kazekage now

. One of my favorite chars now lol.

Of course, Lee has always been my favorite (even before he got his own spinoff.) /hipster

I just looked it up, oh God what.

But from a high level, I like the story. I also like that Naruto's transformations isn't just infinite power level/Super Saiyan BS but kinda has a reasonable explanation.

Also the eighth OP is dope as hell. :bow Nico Touches the Wall :bow2

Sasuke: Sharingan Chronicles is a 100% accurate title for Shippuden.

I can understand the frustration on focusing on a character you're not crazy about, but at least stuff happens it seems like (non filler hell, lol.) With Bleach the "fights" are like 50% stare contests, 30% overly long explanations of things that just happened, 10% wacky humor, 5% reaction shots, and 5% actual fighting.

... whoops, thought this was the TOONAMI thread.

toonami has a naruto under it

 

[Moaradin]

I watched Shippuden up to 140 and I thought it was pretty good. Sasuke wasn't really the focus up to that part either, but I don't know how much he is later. All the characters had their own little arcs from what I remember.

Even Shikamaru of all people, if the fourth opening is anything to go by.

It's Kishimoto's execution of his bullshit that's really the issue. Reading the synopsis and actually seeing it happen are two COMPLETELY different experiences.

Also, the Naruto anime occasionally has some absolutely fantastic episodes with GREAT animation and badass complex fights. They're rare, but when they do show up they're really good. By comparison, Bleach very rarely has great animation (Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, parts of Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, for example) and almost never has particularly strategic or complicated fights.

Even Shikamaru of all people, if the fourth opening is anything to go by.

Shikamaru is THE best character in the series. By an absolutely massive margin.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Shikamaru's a bro but Lee will always remain king.

I've watched up to 153 (the latest episode dubbed) and I've liked it. (spoilers)

I'm not spoiled too much, (spoilers)

I have no idea what Pein is. He looks like one of Jiraiya's former pupils, but theres like six of him, but he has the other pupil's eyes?

Oh yeah, and Shikamaru is awesome.

Oh god the part you are up to is easily one of the strongest parts of part 2. So good. I wish the rest was a strong as that.

It is too early in the morning for pokemon, bleach, and naruto!
Welcome back Andrex. Have you been enjoying your hot pockets? I don't know if your were lurking, but the reactions to the last Thundercats episode were pretty damn funny

 

[Moaradin]

Yes. Shikamaru's chapter was the best shit I've seen so far in the series.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I have indeed been lurking and didn't miss any of the rage.

Still iffy on the blue.

I never understand the love for Bleach's soundtrack. The Spanish guitar tracks are GREAT, but they're a fraction of the soundtrack. The rest of it is...pretty terrible.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It's because the terrible tracks blend into the background and you forget them while the awesome Spanish tracks stay in your mind.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Also I always thought Bleach had terrible animation, it reminded me of old Pokemon eps in how cheap it looks.

Pretty much that.
