Just when you thought Naruto anime couldn't get any worse.

I watched seed but I must admit that it was objectively pretty terrible. They reused the same exact scenes sooooo many time that it got pretty annoying. I don't know, the story somehow managed to make me listen to the entire thing anyways though.

On the other hand, I really liked 00. I liked the fact that they tried to make the story more relevant to current events in the world. They went too much over the top in the 2nd season though.

I tried watching the first Gundams too but they're just too old! I guess I could finish watching Gundam wing though.

Dispite the reused animation and thousands of flashbacks I managed to somehow enjoy gundam seed. The tragic nature of the final episodes was pretty dam awesome and made it all worth it. I'm a sucker for the not so happy endings

I've got a solution for ya on the older gundam series. Blue Ray version of Zeta Gundam is awesome.

(wish I could have found the exact same image for comparison but I think that it still shows the difference in image quality.)

I generally avoid dubs like the plague and stick to subs.. If people are basing their opinion of anime on dubs then hell yeah its pretty crappy. (not that all dubs are terrible but yeah most of them are.) The selection of good anime that has been dubbed is very limited. Most of what's brough to america isn't worth the dvd its burnt on.

Even something that is halfway decent (like naruto was for the first few episodes) when its dumbed down and made for kids becomes terrible. I was like, wheres my blood and gore? I'll never forget when I saw gundam seed on cartoon network for the first time they had the gun overpainted with tons of lights and wierd looking tubes so it looked like a toy. It even made a funny noise when it fired. I couldn't stand it.

EDIT: epic phail! I posted the same link twice.... fixed!

Psst those are teh same image

Yeah the censoring for american tv can get pretty rediculos, I perfer subbed as well since I only have to pay mild attention to them to understand it.

:OOOO

Not a man with great taste.

Well I tried it once and it wouldn't run. I was also annoyed they stole my nickname for the games, haha. Oh well. I guess StarCraft will have to suffice.

Back on-topic, the Bleach anime currently sucks awfully. They butchered some awesome fights from the manga. Not to mention this, rofl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA96C78jakE

If you wanna see a mockery of a awesome manga compare the still running Air Gear to the anime, horrendous made ecen worse by a dub that will shater your soul.

Still waiting until next week for the anime, but 501 was pretty grand.

Hidden Content:

Minato's teleportation technique is awesome in action, and the fact that he tied it in to Kushina's Seal was incredibly cool. I'm really holding my breath, and waiting to see him summon Gamabunta for the scene from the very beginning of the manga, that's taken us 500 chapters to actually find out about.

Did anyone else think that, Madara's comment about the Uzumaki Clan being strong enough to survive having Kyuubi ripped out of them without dying sounds like a little bit of foreshadowing for Naruto later on?

Yeah. So I guess my idea of final battle between Naruto and Fox isn't impossible =)

If you want all the awesomeness of the originals but modern watch the first part of Unicorn.

I just watched it and it was pretty good! There's only one episode out right now right? Cant' wait for the rest!

Just read Naruto 501. Pretty terrible really (IMO). I just want to get back to the present. Not really interested in knowing how Naruto was born. Now that I know the 9 tails was actually released (knowing Naruto's mom was the holder was just as WTF out of blue, so it's not like it was all that suspenseful) I don't really care about where it goes from there to the village.

Most likely, what's going to happen is another 10 manga eps of Minato and the village fighting the Fox and then it gets sealed. Although, I am interested in seeing Minato die.

Not really terrible imo but it feels slow, all this flashback sequences take so damn long that you may forget what was the setting before they started, maybe not 10 but I'm willing to bet it will be at least another 3 chapters.
What I really want to know is who the hell was the corpse in the coffin that Kabuto showed Madara

Same here, same here. I speculate that it's the Sage of the 6 Paths because who else would be worth bringing all this suspense for? Another theory I've heard is that it's "Madara's true body" or some crap.
