which chapter or volume is it?
Should I start reading there or even a few chapters before? (maybe the anime made a big mistake in that arc)

I do not intend to read any further than the anime currently is, I think I'm going to read the manga chapter first and then watch the anime (rinse and repeat every weak)... so I get the right story and the animation of the fights too (and I'm still able to discuss things in the anime-threads ^^)

so what chapter is it? and is there a site which still has those old chapters ready for download? (I don't want to read it online, only if there is no other way)
It gets people reading.

I really don't care about all those little things as much as it seems. Me I'll just watch the anime and not care, its not like I watch it for the story anyway. I watch it just to see the action. The reason I keep going on and on about the manga is because it gets people interested in it and I'm still trying to convert as many people as possible.

Beyond that its already been established that bitching about that stuff here is what I do and honestly the real reason I keep doing it is because I can't think of a new shtick.

Uh, weren't they all there. Its twenty squads, made up of four people. If you look at the over head shot its ten rows eight deep, that is everyone. Anyway fact is in that exact same panel Chouji and Ino weren't there and we really didn't need to see them because they didn't do anything in this scene. Its just more stretching.
