good point
i think you&#39;re onto something there ^^


a bit off topic, but with regard to what was said later i guess i&#39;m the kinda person who prefer lesser characters to more though


sorry couldn&#39;t really think of much more to say here now lol

i should just add that anyone who liked the kenshin anime (rather the kenshin character) should get a hold of at least the manga for the enishi arc (: that story rocks


anyway yea as was mentioned naruto focuses on different characters.. i guess that makes it a bit different from alot of animes.. you dont just follow the development of one character.. i dunno
i dont feel i watch it to see what happens to this and this guy, more just to see the fights and the action ^^

and the manga seems to be heading in a good direction imo.. i didn&#39;t have much taste for all the individual fights again thuogh.. those parts it feels like you&#39;re reading 3 different mangas at the same time =p it&#39;s just so frequent in naruto that the fights are all one on one... the fight which is ongoing in the manga now should be interesting though


on a side note i think the drawings affect the mood too.. the large areas of one color, and all the bright colors, are probably having an effect on how we react to what happens as well.. so the manga feels a bit different.... mm... they should&#39;ve had other people animate it ^^ i like the old animations better. the animations now have too few details or something (not sure how to put it) imo.. ahh the good ol&#39; days&#33; but it&#39;s allright for naruto.. the upside is that it makes fights look alot cooler and they can put in more coreography in the fights it seems.. plus the 3D thing where they spun the camera around in gaara vs lee was 0wnage

ok the above seems very offtopic. i was just saying large areas of bright colors (bright orange, e.g. ) makes naruto seem more cheerfull.. ok maybe the fact that most of them look like they&#39;re around age 10 makes a difference too
