Damn Naruto and Bleach are kicking some Manga ass right now. The anime is a little slow in Shippuden, but we'll finally getting closer to the Azuma, Jiraya, and Uchiha fights.

[poibowl]

downloaded every episode of naruto, im a bit too old to be watching so i've been trying to get my kids to watch to justify. LOL. waiting for the akatsuki battles those seem to be the most action in the series.

[KenTwo]

In Shippuden has Naruto gotten any stronger? Besides the variations of the rasengan has he learned anything new? I skipped over the middle part of the manga and have only been reading from where a lot of other people are fighting but not him.

[poibowl]

he has gotten a little bit stronger, the kyuubi can actually form with it's chakra around naruto but without it he still not that strong. the last episode was where naruto finally meets up with sasuke again and shows how much stronger he is.

[idiosyncratic]

go on youtube...
watch the english sub episodes of naruto shippuuden
or google the manga versions
naruto does get quite a bit stronger...

i have to go back to find out where i left off...:(

[KenTwo]

I've watched all of the Shippuden episodes and read from the Sasuke-Deidara fight till now. But I still haven't seen him do anything really new other then variations of the rasengan and using the fox chakra with four tails. I mean Sasuke has developed new jutsu and improved on the chidori, Sakura has new stuff, but to me Naruto is still relying on things we saw in the end of Naruto. Did I miss something new?

[idiosyncratic]

you already have? oh... then you haven't missed anything...
Naruto also been a slower learner than Sasuke...
I kind of lost track of this Anime myself...

I just got done with the short "Hikaru No Go" series... now, I'm looking for a Go board that I can buy locally... or take some time to make one.

[KenTwo]

Thanks. I thought I was getting kind of disappointed in not seeing Naruto do anything new other then the wind variations of the rasengan.




Waiting for the new Gantz and next Gundam 00 to come out. Anyone know how many Gundam 00 episodes are planned?

[RUSH808]

so can sasuke null and void the kubi? thats what it seems like to me in ep52... If so Naruto screwed, imo.


Waiting for the new Gantz and next Gundam 00 to come out. Anyone know how many Gundam 00 episodes are planned?

Gantz coming out with new ep? Niice. :biggrinbounce2:

[KenTwo]

^ Not to give too much away but the Kyubi and the Sharingan has a shared past that comes up later in the story.

Not too sure when Gantz comes out, but I figure we'll get to see the badass from the Osaka crew fight the 100 pointer.

[RUSH808]

^ Well I kinda know why the kyubi attacked the village, but that means a a certain level a uchiha can control it? or was the tech only worked on the kyubi mind itself not the actual chakra, so if Naruto is in charge of the kyubi chakra then its naruto that has to be controlled not the kyubi?

[KenTwo]

^
Yes, Uchihas can control it (there's a whole side story on the founders of the village and why it attacked the village etc.)

Naruto has some control in how much chakra he releases, but if he passes the fourth tail stage then the fox begins to take over.

[idiosyncratic]

well... at least for now...
we're still hoping that Naruto can somehow control all nine tails and dish out some major whooping!!!... that'd be awesome! fire out multiple rasengans filled with the 9tails chakra! cool. use those 9tails as extra apendages and start hitting villians left & right, lower left & lower right, and lower lower left & lower lower right, etc... he'd be like a chakra Dr. Oct... muahahahah. that be too cool!!! Go Naruto!!!!! you loud mouth... oops. :gapteeth: ah well, i can dream can't i?... hmm. perhaps I should email those writers and give them some wild ideas that'll spin off into other wilder ideas... heh heh...

[KenTwo]

^
I'm kind of bummed that Naruto has to rely so much on the fox to fight. I wish he had gotten stronger on his own (new jutsu or something). I'd rather see him and Sauske fight without using the fox.

[poibowl]

amazing that you guys actually watch naruto, i thought i was the only one. i just wish that the tv series would catch up with the manga. can't wait to see the battle between itachi and sasuke. Amazing that my son hasn't asked me to buy the new naruto game I guess his friends at school aren't into naruto.

[idiosyncratic]

it's because of my kids that i'm watching these...
besides I always loved the japanese anime since i was younger...
so i'm just furthering that... and it's something that i can enjoy with my keiki as well.

[KenTwo]

I watch them because I'm just a big kid. Sorry can't rationalize it any other way.

[RUSH808]

Yeah, I'm kinda have mix feelings about the whole kyubi thing my self. I wish Naruto showed a little more heritage from his dad and do some yellow flash stuff. I mean does every konoha ninja display something from they're family? ehh.

But sasuke seems alot stronger in the shippuden without his curse mark, hate to see what happens when he uses it.....

side note: My son really loves the whole naruto series, I guess his classmaates like it too cuzz he got madd props on his T's even from kid above his class (1st - 5 th grade)..

[poibowl]

shippuden 53-54 is out and 54 is now in wide screen HD. so it should look great on a big screen. gonna start force-feeding it to my kids.LOL

[idiosyncratic]

yup yellow flash was awesome...
if we take that and multiply that power because of the kyuubi's chakra...
whoah. now that would be interesting in it's possibilities...
how about naruto making his shadow clones all fighting with the yellow flash technique with each using his own wave sharingan... that would be totally awesome.
shoot. i really should start talking to these writers... hahahaha.

[KenTwo]

This season is supposed to have a large focus on Sauske. So I'm wondering how much stronger Naruto will get. I can't imagine him becoming good enough to fight without the Kyubi chakra...

Anyway, Bleach Manga is getting good. Almost time for an all out war. And how will the Vizards be accepted by the Shinigami?

Gantz hasn't been out for a while. And Gundam 00 is pau for now. But it ended well with a lot of questions to be answered.

[idiosyncratic]

But it ended well with a lot of questions to be answered.
i hate endings like these :shakesfist: :asthanos:

[hrnytrtlsgsxr]

My belief is would sasuke be that strong without his families sharingan. The sharingan can make him learn a move by copying it or see through techiques. He can copy a taijiutsu or see through a genjutsu or ninjutsu with his sharingan. This would make it easy for him to learn a technique with one look unlike others that would have to train over and over. Point in case that he got beaten in episode 22 by rock lee and then used the same technique in episode 38 againts another opponent and that is with only one look at the technique and having his sharingan copy it.. Now is it that he is that good. I think not having the uchiha blood gives him an edge that others wouldn't have. Not to metion him being able to learn forbidden techniques from orchimaru.

don't u mean?...
having the uchiha blood gives him an edge?... :)
u said not :really: (i know i hate typos :gapteeth: sometimes I type & won't find them until after I go back and read them again) :(
and I do agree with you. That would certainly make him a whole lot quicker in learning a whole slew of techniques!...

I also think that is the same reason why kakashi gets so worn out when he uses his sharingan... and that is because he doesn't have the uchiha blood...

[KenTwo]

Naruto can use his shadowclone to speed up learning.

[idiosyncratic]

that does still take a bit longer than with 'just one look'...
hey, that's like 'photographic memory' for ninja techiques! very cool!!!

[KenTwo]

Sharingan is cool and probably one of the more powerful kekkei genkai, but Naruto should be using his shadow clone training to learn some of his father's moves. Or even more wind-based jutsu...

[idiosyncratic]

Sharingan is very cool. K. now after this series...
say. somehow Naruto & Sasake's finally back as best friends...
Sasake & Sakura gets married...
Naruto & Hinata gets married...
(yes, i'm a sucker for happy endings...)

say... sasake & sakura have a boy...
and naruto & hinata have a girl

and they eventually hook up...
and out of this marriage...

let's say naruto's girl somehow has like a mini-version of the kyuubi's power...
combined with the uchiha's boy sharingan's technique...

holy geezmus!... awesome possibilities! :woowoo:

okay... i really do need to start talking to these japanese writers... :gapteeth:

[KenTwo]

Oh why not have Sauske transfer his eyes over to Naruto ala Kakashi?

[poibowl]

if this series ends up like most asian series, naruto will probably die and he kyuubi will probably destroy the leaf village then be sealed away into naruto and hinata's child. for some reason asian writers don't really believe in happy endings.

[KenTwo]

If Naruto dies, the Kyubi dies too. Unless someone releases it first.

I think its more likely, Naruto loses control to the Kyubi when Hinata dies, it starts to destroy the village, Sakura stands up to it, and at the last minute Naruto gains a little control back so that Sakura and Sauske can kill it. Then they name their son Naruto.

[RUSH808]

hey what happened? the last ep I saw (shipuuden 54) sasuke was fighting new team kakashi, now kakashi is training Naruto (shi - 55)????
Did I miss something? This can't be a flash back. If so then why would he use his new tech on Orochimaru?

[KenTwo]

I don't recall that part. Maybe I gotta go back and rewatch it.

[KenTwo]

After reading the latest Gantz. My first thought at the end was, hey Chad from Bleach showed up.

then you didn't quite finish the whole 54th episode...
did you see the end of the fight? if not, then you didn't finish the 54th episode. I had the same problem and had to watch a few 54 episodes to find the ending of the fight...

according to the son of idio... the 56th episode is out... it's regarding Team Asuma.

[spider_monkey52]

looks like i have to watch the new episode today ^_^. btw where do you guys watch your anime? i used to go to crunchyroll before they got all gay and decided to not show bleach or naruto because of licensing or some crap like that. i go to anilinkz.com and it's pretty good, sometimes it's slow or the vids are dead but thats mainly for some older things that they put up. it's cool though. hope i don't get in trouble for posting up a link

[idiosyncratic]

son of idio says he just watches it on uTube...
i do too.
or i try a few different links on the 'google search' list :)
some sucks in that you have to 'pay' before you can actually watch episodes! :shakesfist:

[spider_monkey52]

anilinkz.com ftw. no more searching for the differen't parts and whatnot. and theres a crapload of series. just gotta turn off the chat window thats on the screen though so no laggity lag lag

[idiosyncratic]

yup. i'll try that. thanks!

[poibowl]

you can dl the episodes at dattebayo.com, they carry the bleach episodes as well. i am still waiting for DB to do the new shippuden movie. they do all the subs for most of the things you see on youtube, etc. they have every episode of naruto and about 50 of bleach i think.

[spider_monkey52]

yup. i'll try that. thanks!
no problem. just helping a fellow anime fan and his son out

[poibowl]

for the naruto fans out there, dattebayo has released the new shippuden movie, so it should be hitting youtube and other sites soon

[spider_monkey52]

CHEEEEEE HUUUUU!!!!

[KenTwo]

Ugh... Bleach filler

[RUSH808]

I see.... thanks for clearing that up for me. Now to look for complete ep 54.......

[spider_monkey52]

time for me to watch some anime and blow off some steam from stupid idiots living in my house

[RUSH808]

Ugh... Bleach filler
ahh it ain't that bad.... I think.
I kinda like to know who replaces the 3 deserters.
Still don't understand how Itsygo got so damn powerful??? Is it because his chick was cheering him on???

[KenTwo]

I think the filler ties into the Bleach movie. But since its filler, I'm doubting we'll see any of the introduced characters or story plots show up in the manga... Still I'll watch it since TV has nothing interesting right now.

[KenTwo]

No new manga in Bleach and Naruto last week...

[Random Select]

Yeah, last week was Golden Week and the first two days of this week were holidays in Japan.

Anyways if there is anyone that want to catch up on this whole Sasuke/Itachi/Tobi thing, check this out:

[spider_monkey52]

hahahahahahahahahaha. saved me lots of time

[KenTwo]

Didn't have to re-read that whole fight!

[poibowl]

that's some funny stuff

[idiosyncratic]

that was great!

isn't the new naruto episode out already?

in the meantime I was watching a new anime series (for me anyway)
Samurai Deeper Kyo. too bad it's a short anime series, only 25 episodes. I like it. and am on my 20th episode already. =( and I only started it on Tues.

Has anyone seen this?
and can recommend something similar as I should be finished with the 25 episodes by today. :cry3:

[KenTwo]

Although not technically an Anime. Avatar is getting pretty good as it nears the end.

i used to read the manga when it first came to the states and it's great. i need to finish the series one day. hmmm....if you want to watch something cool there's flame of recca, gotta watch the anime and read the manga to get everything though. it's really good, lots of action, comedy and a good story

[poibowl]

Flame of recca was a good series, was more into the Love Hina series at the time though, that was a pretty funny series. watching ep 57-58 of naruto right now

update: 57-58 not so good, not enough action, the fillers had more action than these latest episodes. oh well gotta wait another week.

[KenTwo]

I'm reading Vampire Knight right now, just cause it was listed in some of the most popular mangas. Its alright...

I'm waiting for the next Gantz.

[spider_monkey52]

i'm trying to find an anime called rebirth. it's korean if i recall correctly and i've only had a chance to read the manga and was up to date with it for a damn long time. a friend of mine says that the anime for it is like the holy grail, only 1 torrent ever found for it but no seeders or leechers

[KenTwo]

Anyone know where I can read Gantz???

[spider_monkey52]

gantz manga

http://www.thespectrum.net/manga_scans/?preview=manga_Gantz

[KenTwo]

Bless you!!!

Onemanga took it down from their site so I was worried I would miss the next chapter.

[spider_monkey52]

no problem. it's getting harder to find because of darkhorse comics licensing it and making some of my sites not post it up anymore

[KenTwo]

Any suggestions on where I can watch the 2nd bleach movie or the shippuden movie?

[idiosyncratic]

I'm becoming re-interested in the "shinigami" anime. I just watched bits and pieces... so I'll have to restart the series and watch it to the end.

[RUSH808]

gantz manga

ehh i only read some of the ch.. i think rosario Vamp is more entertaining.

[KenTwo]

I haven't been watching Shippuden since the filler started. But I heard they aren't going to have sub titles anymore so no one can watch it?

[ChroniC588]

I need to stop watching anime for a while.

Watched 51 episodes of FMA and 13 episode Gunslinger...all in non-stop weekend bonanzas. Bad for the health...bad..:nono:

:cry3:Now I just got arrival of Bleach and Naruto...omg....man....:cry3:

[spider_monkey52]

^^^ thats not that bad i've watched 200+ episodes in a week straight before.

[KenTwo]

I read all of the episodes of Gantz in a day (mostly at work)
