And I'm sorry, but Gaara's flashbacks aren't even THAT emotional or well done. There have been much better in the series.

I'm all for story and character development, but two full episodes that essentially did nothing but tell the story of a traumatic evening in Gaara's childhood us just too much. And thinking such doesn't make someone a little DBZ mite. And thinking that all the flashbacks are fantastic doesn't make you an intellegent viewer. It just means you think you are.
I started a thread called Flashbacks in the Naruto Anime section so that people would not continue to post about them in here...please post future messages of this type in that thread.
