Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

K...I guess that's what happens when you post in more than one forum. You're correct though, but the same principle applies. If gamabunta didn't acknowledge Naruto, then he wouldn't have carried Naruto back to the hospital.

Usually I'm always complaining that the books are always better than the movies. But this doesn't apply to manga and animation. The animated series is so much better, detail wise, because you have about 20 minutes to fill. Whereas, in the manga you only have like 18 pages to fill, and you can only include so much detail.

yes - details are good.

just random examples:
kakashi watching naruto do kage buushin.
kakashi having a brainfart while rock climbing.
