I was talking about the story that ended with chapter 33. That was the story that I figured some things out, but still got some surprises at the end. ;D Shan

Had you ever seen the Zabuza storyarc on the anime show before?
Oh, be sure to keep it spoiler-free (or inside spoiler tags) for others.

oh yeah i have. to tell u the truth, the anime illustrates the battle better than the manga. but i still don't like too many flashbacks. ;D
sidenote: zabusa looks a lot like Tetsuo in Akira (small eyes, high forehead).

Oh I agree, the action is much better on the anime. Easier to understand anyway (like the Demon Brothers fight). It's the other parts - the quiet moments - that's better in the manga, I think.
But I definitely enjoy the anime with the action parts. It'll be cool when the Naruto anime hits American TV in September.

Now I am curious. You guys are talking about Naruto animes. Are their animes out on DVD about the mangas? Just a little confused here. I did not realized these were also available as animes. Shan

Now I am curious. You guys are talking about Naruto animes. Are their animes out on DVD about the mangas? Just a little confused here. I did not realized these were also available as animes. Shan In Japan (and few other eastern countries, maybe) they sell Naruto DVDs, but Phil is talking about the fansubbed episodes, the ones we see, which air weekly on JP TV. I like the manga more the anime anyway (yes, even for the action parts...only few episode in the anime are better than their counterparts on paper imho, and they are later episodes). Well, I'm new in these forums and in the Naruto Club, so here you are a brief presentation about my opinion on this manga. I haven't much time now, since I'm right into the cleaning of chapter 267 for the HQ release of the scanlation group named Shannaro, so I'm going only to list some of my favourite characters now: 1) Naruto - I like him for his carefree yet serious attitude, he's a guy who can smile even if has problems and I love people like him. 2) Gaara - it's hard to explain why I like him without spoiling the story, so for now I'll only say that imho he has the best design among all the characters in the manga. 3) Shikamaru - maybe you still have to see him...he's much more than he seems! I'll post in this thread again later, I've to go now!

Sariachan, thank you for explaining about the animes. Now it makes more sense what everybody has been talking about. Naruto is my favorite character. I have liked him from the start, but fell in love with him in chapter 3. He is so funny at times and I love the way he is always trying to get better so he can beat Sasuke. I think I have just met up with Gaara. I still don't remember the names from this new story and I have yet to write them down like Phil suggested. Don't worry Phil. I will. ;D If he is the one I am thinking about, I'm not far enough along to forum an opinion of him. I am very glad you have decided to join us here at Chao and I am looking forward to getting to know you better. Shan

@ Sariachan -> yeah, Shikamaru is one heck of a character; may not be much in whatever super jutsu like everybody else but his mind is his best weapon. definitely one of the coolest around.

Thanks for dropping by Sariachan ;D *Adds you to the Club* Another automatic addition! ;D Oh by the way, I was talking about the Japan DVDs, not the fansubbed episodes I order them over e-bay and watch them with English subtitles! I don't really care about the sound because I'm deaf. I've only seen the first 100 episodes though. Shan, the Naruto anime is coming to America on 'Toonami' channel in September. They just recently announced it in Shonen Jump magazine. So if you've a desire to see what the fights might look like, animated, you'll have your chance soon. I didn't mention it before because I was afraid you guys might decide to ditch the manga for the anime and I think the manga is still a lot better Naruto experience overall. Sariachan, I thought for sure you'd mention Kankurou as a favorite, knowing how you love his jutsu. Guess it's the technique not the character that you like so much, eh? But can't argue with your favorites, they are all majorly cool characters.

Reporting in to Phil. ;D I have now read through chapter 36. Ok, so I was wrong about the look on Sasuke's face and the one on Sakura's face. It was still a good chapter though. Man, if Bleach could hold my attention like Naruto, it would be cool, but it still can't do it. When I finish a chapter, it doesn't leave me wanting more like Naruto does. I can also still stop mid chapter if I want to. I can do that with Naruto. Shan

Just so you guys know? The next "cool" fan- colored covers I have for the Naruto series are chapters 50 and 54. Volume 6 opens with Chapter 55 and I have the volume cover. Fan-colored covers I have which I consider to be cool include chapters 57. Kishimoto colored some pages in chapter 60. Don't forget I have a missing page to give you guys when you start reading chapter 64 (which also opens Volume 7).
