I like that OP, actually. It was really different from the others and I was surprised when it first showed up. It grew on me. Its really kind of a chaotic and strangely emotional song and I thought it worked well for the events that were happening at the time, especially combined with the gloominess of the visuals. Too bad it was placed at the very end of canon. I agree that the filler was hell.

Best Naruto (part 1 or 2) ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z-WglOXQwU
First part is kinda dumb, but that last part... HYPE

Hate the song, hate the muddy look of the video, hate the absolutely crap episodes that have this beginning besides the very few canon episodes. The filler actually gets better as it goes along but the first year or so of it is absolutely the worst. One horribly animated arc after another, all with this awful opening.

Man God does not like pop punk-ish music.
at least he still likes Great Teacher Onizuka.

Kind of derpy.
Indeed it is, but for whatever reason I like it. It also has a ridiculous alternate version.

That's way better. Ridiculous > Sakura
EDIT: Wait, just got to the furry part. Nevermind. KILL IT WITH FIRE
What the heck, I do not remember this OP at all. The song, yeah. I love parade but I was certain it was the video where Naruto was in space being followed by some animals or something. Eh, Some Naruto opening are weird.
Edit: There we go, Man God. I don't know where space came from, but I knew it had something to do with animals. lol

Also why pick between Inuyasha endings when you can just have them all? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v4uXPB-xh4

your welcome
Basically my thoughts on the matter distilled. Rock Lee does look hilarious though.

You know, I dont think I ever saw that ending, but heard the song
but there is one naruto part 1 ending that I never saw until recently that captured my heart
and its this ending, ED 5, of part 1, I was legit shook over it, possibly nostalgia had a part in it tho.

Oh hey, look who Demarco just retweeted.
kayos pls
Yeah, that's a pretty good one. Made me suddenly remember that 6 minute Naruto and Sasuke 2011 OVA with the ED Mayonaka no orchestra (Can't remember the number but the one with Sakura in the shower.), anyway that was playing. Damn, it's pretty much impossible to find the OVA unedited on youtube. That was so hype back when I first saw it. Gotta find a way to see that again.

It use to be on youtube in its original form until very recently, like literally a month or so ago, I know because I listend to it recently aswell, the last time I did every video of it was edited really rubbed me the wrong way.

now that I think about it, does the Nov. 30 episode mark the end of the prelims?
The episode set to air on that night is the episode right after the prelims.
I'm sitting here bored at night so here are some thoughts on Shippuden and Toonami's acquisition.
I started watching Naruto (and Bleach) a ways back for no real reason. I was bored and they were popular and so I figured why not. I enjoyed Naruto at times, a fair amount actually, but I was never totally amazed by it. It's a occasionally semi-competent Shounen at best, speaking generally. It had some pretty cool moments though, which is what kept me watching. Shippuden really is a slog for a while, and many of the other criticisms have been thrown about a bunch already so I won't repeat them. I got up partway through the Pain Arc, and kind of stopped due to lack of interest (and word of mouth of things going even more south from there weren't encouraging either).
Oddly enough, I have said several times that my favorite arc (well, sort of a mini-arc) is in Shippuden, and that's the one that features Shikamaru. It's relatively well paced, hits a good mix of emotion, action, suspense, and has a satisfying conclusion (partially, the Shikamaru part of course). I'm happy I'll be able to watch it again with a group but that won't be until 2015
Anyways I always felt having original Naruto sitting in the second spot was weird. It's one of the older shows in the block but it's sitting up front. It's popular enough to do well enough though. I have to wonder if this was the plan the whole time - as in, they knew Shippuden's rights would be free in 2014 and decided to run the first ~50 episodes of Naruto beforehand anyway. It's plausible but I still have to wonder how much foresight they had here.
Shippuden does 'fit' better up front, being more recent (and more popular?) despite the issues it has. Skipping the majority of the good part of Naruto is annoying, to new viewers especially of course, but also because people like me anticipating some of those moments for a while and now they'll be skipped.
It's hard to speculate what the generic or more casual fan will do, but I suppose the obvious main reason for this move is the assumption that Shippuden will rate better than Part 1? Anyways Naruto will hold the spot for a while and this is probably a good move.

Ah that's crazy to think about. My life will be quite different by 2015. I'll be done with college, have a full time job, and could possible be married/dating.I'm happy I'll be able to watch it again with a group but that won't be until 2015
Then there's One Piece. I'll be retired by the time we catch up to the sub.
We should assign a ToonamiGAF member to at least one of these lists:
Bleach Fanboys
Naruto Fanboys
One Piece Fanboys
Soul Eater Fanboys
Sword Art Online Fanboys
FLCL Fanboys
Star Wars Fanboys
Fullmetal Alchemist Fanboys
Ghost in the Shell Fanboys
IPGX Fanboys
InuYasha Fanboys
Bleach Fanboys
Naruto Fanboys
One Piece Fanboys
Soul Eater Fanboys
Sword Art Online Fanboys
FLCL Fanboys
Star Wars Fanboys
Fullmetal Alchemist Fanboys
Ghost in the Shell Fanboys
IPGX Fanboys
InuYasha Fanboys
Real Folk Blues
Thematically ties with the series and not to mention it is boss.
FLCL's Shooting Star takes 2nd and My Will would probably take 3rd in my eyes.
4th would be JoJo's Roundabout but that is cheating.
Then 15 whole episodes of Naruto would exist.
You guys think I am joking?

Sorry Beam from mangaf has you beat there RIP in peace
He just does that sometimes.
I got some people who tweeted me back and I don't think they checked the timestamp so I'm pretty sure they thought I was pissed about the recent Shippuuden annoucnement. lol.
I actually thought that at first too, haha.
