Ok, does anyone else watch Naruto? I dont mean the crappy Fox Kids Dubs, but the proper version. When i first heard about Naruto, i thought it would be one of those 1 season wonders on FK's, but when a friend of mine brought episodes 1-210 on ebay and lent them to me, i became hooked. Naruto is brilliant, in story and character, you can feel each characters individuality, something that i have missed in animes of past ( last time was when i watched Sou Sei No Aquarion ).

Typical of Japanese storys, there is a lot of humour involved, though i find that its not the type of humour that all kids would understand, which again makes me think that all of these shows that are dubbed into english and shown on FK's or CN, are wasted on the youth of today, most wont understand what the hell is going on.

Now on Ep 215, and after god knows how many filler stories, some good, some aweful, i was wondering if anyone knew when the fillers will end, and Narutos search for Saske would begin again.

One last point, for those of you who are watching Naruto, the subbed version, you gotta love the Perverted Hermit!

 I read the Manga first and am fully up to date with it. Damnit man I told you about it before.

 Ive seen some of the episodes dubbed and not. Obviously I think the subbed is much better, but after reading the manga its just not how I would have carried things out. Just doesnt seem right.

E: Rav, I made a Kakashi stikfa since he's the best. :P

 Frog dude? Jiraiya?

 I have to say after the three year gap the manga started to get crapper. Seems he's running out of ideas or something. Just seems to drag on and on and not really get anywhere.

 I wouldn't mind some of the figures. Only thing is they lack articulation, which can't be good for a ninja.

 I may buy some and give them more articulation.

I hope it goes back to the main story, its been too long since the main story ended, it cant be ignored for much longer!

 Well Kakashi Gaiden gives you a look into his past and how he got the Sharingan etc. To be honest it isn't nearly as impressive as I thought it'd be, but it has one significant point I can think of. One which you may guess once seen it and then look at the Akatsuki members.

Where did you read up on that Sixxy? To be honest, Kakashi has lost his cool since Perverted Hermit and Tsunade came along. Do you think that Orichamaru ( sp) looks like he has been taken straight from a Urotsukidoji film, especially now with his personalised music?

 Where did I read up on Kakashi Gaiden? What do you think the anime is based on?

 As for Kakashi losing his coolness, I'd say that it went pretty soon after he did all the stuff at the start. Thats the thing with series like this unfortunately. Once a character has been cool they're never cool again.

 Kakashi was the best in his training of the Gennin's and his fight with Zabuza. Now he doesn't do much.

 As for Jiraiiya, I've always found him a bit nothingy and Tsunade even more so. Orochimaru on the other hand definately gave me the impression of Urotsukidoji when I saw the big fight between him and the other two legendary nins. Strangely though, I like him.

 If there's one character I can never get tired of because he appears in small doses it's Rock Lee. Gotta make a stikfa of him next.

Heh, Rock Lee on Sake is brilliance!

You have confused me here, are you saying Naruto is based on Kakashi Gaiden?
