Hehehe I always look forward to new Naruto eps! I'm just really used to each episode leaving me with something else to look forward to. Only when the quality is really horrible (like Naruto vs Kiba, that's gotta be the WORST ep ever) do I get a little discouraged. Thankfully Ep 73 was well done, can't wait for the next one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I see what you're saying about the 'teaser' thing, but isn't that the whole point of having a series with an advancing plot and developing characters .. to have things to look forward to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The more we look forward to it, the more successful the anime is at being entertaining. Unless the content just falls away to filler levels, which I hope doesn't happen. If you want to know what filler is, go watch Hikaru No Go or Dragon Ball Z, two decent series that should have fit into about 1/4 the episodes used.
