Naruto Shippuuden Episode 74

[KrayZ33]

You actually like that stupid music they played when he cut the waterfall?

Sakura=waste of time

yes I liked it, I don't know why you would call that music stupid. Typical music for a "heroic" moment.

it makes you think that he just did something awesome when he cut the waterfall in 2... and it *is* awesome.

and I don't think Sakura was a waste of time in this episode... it was well made and just because it didn't happen in the manga doesn't mean it was useless or a waste of time. It often is, but not always ^^ it was decently done, actually I feel pretty sad for her now because whatever she does, she never reachs her *own* expectations.

I hope they won't be that good, because that generic fighting is boring and as Kraco mentioned it looked ridiculous. Hidan has a huge triple bladed scythe attached to a huge string/chain, so why why in the world would Asuma try to fight him using close combat. Not to mention that as he said it makes Asuma's blades look useless

what the fuck ^^? those fights are the only reason to watch the anime instead of reading the manga... and it didn't look ridiculous... and who says that Asuma has the chance to fight him with range jutsus?
ever played a MMO or something similiar to that? the melee class does always try to get the range class into melee, because he is a smaller threat then and you take less dmg. and if you yourself have only melee techniques you have to get near the enemy...
I doubt that it's different in Naruto

who says that he didn't try to fight him at range? maybe he just failed? or Hidan finally managed to get close to him and now it's his turn, while Asuma is only defending himself

and why does it look ridiculous? I think it was skillfully done (and not "overdone"), Hidan uses a scythe, but a scythe can also be used like a polearm. If they would make it look totally realistic, THEN it would look ridiculous

Taijutsu or Taijutsu with weapons (it it the same thing? I don't know) is one of the best things about the anime Naruto... I like when a fight starts with Taijutsu -> short moment for using Ninjutsu -> Taijutsu again etc.

I don't like the big Ninjutsus like Zabuza used... it took like 20-30 seconds to summon that Water Dragon...
