Or they could just air Naruto and some other long running anime (like One Piece) on the same night with them alternating every other week. Japanese must not have anything to do since they get new TV every week of the year, they must not like to get out much, but it is us Americans that are the fat tards, why do the Japanese get to watch tons of TV and not get fat (must be the sushi) Its just not fair.
Well Foo, I believe the way it is this was is because manga has been around way longer in Japan, than comics in America. Its an entire fucking industry over there, where as here, its not nearly as much. I think the reason anime has been this way is because there is so much more anime going on, and its a huge competition. Besides the Japanese work ethic is far more strict than that of America (even though a vast majority of American's don't take their vacations....visit www.iwantmyvacation.com)! That and maybe the fans have Kishimoto locked in a room and are torturing him to punch out manga like a newspaper press. All I know is that comics are released like once a month in America....in Japan, its like weekly (bi-weekly at the most!). They're just crazy about their manga.

But I seriously agree that the quality of the episodes would increase drastically if they took some time instead of pumping shit out every week. Like when The Simpsons have their season finale people are like "aww...no new simpsons for 3 months...FUCK!" But with Naruto, I constantly see the addicts saying shit like "Why isn't the EPISODE XX out yet!!! the Raw has been out for 3 hours!!!!! WTF Hurry it up you bastards!" I would recommend that you take a break from the show and treat it like the season being over and wait for the anime to resume with the manga.
