    RE: Eps 78 & 79

    I am forever looking for better Anime's , but after seeing Naruto , its hard to believe there is another A* anime waiting to be found [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

    Kenshin
    Naruto
    Hellsing
    Vandred

    Things have moved on since when I started to watch Anime with things like :

    Dominion Tank Police
    Ninja Scroll
    3x3 Eyes
    Patlabour

    I suppose everyone has seen these classics on this forum [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway - back on topic.

    It was great to see the frog-king turn into a full-blown Nine Tails Fox , that was great , oh yeah baby [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Just to mention this, there's this promising anime Tenjou Tenge that's out right now. It has some unbelievable fighting. Only two eps are out now, patiently waiting for the third, but hey, since it comes out at a different time in the week than naruto, if you like it, it'll help ease the tension of waiting. It's really good, check it out when you get the chance.

Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    RE: Eps 78 & 79

    well what so bad about having open taste ?!

    Keshin the series, watched the whole TV series. the OVA is boring and (4 dvd's + movie under label of Samouri X in the UK).

    The TV series is just like Naruto but with Samouri (in terms of action, character developement and comedy style).

    Vandred, as I said, one of my favourites.


    BTW trying to compare different anime's is stupid, I like The Shawshank Redemption and Matrix - they are great on their own merits and can never be realistically compared due to a completly different subject matter that they are based upon.

    Hellsing is ace - if you watch the whole series in one night [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Everyone who I know who has seen Hellsing (I mean IRL) , have loved it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Everyone has their own favourites [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    I loved the frog turning into a huge fox - that was great [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    also I thought that Naruto beating Gaara was amazing , I was jumping up and shouting abuse at Ichiha Sasuke with the middle fingers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Most excited Ive been about an episode of Naruto yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Naruto is good with combining different moves with other moves.

    Who would have thought he managed to combine that pain of a thousand year move with explodsive....that is one smart move.

    naruto in the regular days acts like an idiot. but when it comes to battle, he is above everyone elses in his class. But i think the story is getting more serious now, which is good.

    do you forget what happend before - it went all serious during their A rank mission and then straight afterwards it all went back to what it was like to begin with!

    I predict this will happen again and another story arc will build up and everyone will get all uptight and serious again.

    RE: Eps 78 & 79

    In my opinion, MemnochTheCaT's assessment of Naruto says it all. He is pretty unbalanced. There are some skills that are possibly Jounin-level, and some skills that are still on the lower end of Genin-level. As far as Naruto being ready to become a Chuunin, I think not: he has never demonstrated the ability to lead a group of ninja in a tactical situation, and this is pretty much exactly what a Chuunin is supposed to do.

    While beating the crap out of everything that stands in your path in the most obvious manner is impressive, and, in the series, imperative for Konoha's safety, it is not the way of the ninja. The series has been focusing on Naruto's grand-royale-style battles a lot, and perhaps this is why people are so impressed with him. However, we've seen enough of various missions to know that this is not the way of the ninja, and it is not an acceptable mentality for an upper-ranked ninja to have.

    He took lead in the "forest of death" or whatever... yeah... and Chuunin are not supposed to be leaders of a tactical group. Chuunins make up the tactical group. What they were doing in the forest, going to get Sasuke, that was a Chuunin Tactical Team. Sakura was screwing around, but Shika was doin a damned fine job... I think Naruto is like the bazooka thick necked army types carry around.... kinda hinders your progress, but will destroy all.

    Also, Naruto wasn't really ready to become a Genin, but Iruka bumped him up, and he did fine... he adapts when he has to, they will make him a chuunin, and he'll get stronger by being the least tactical... expect more jutsus (stealth and spying) from this boy

    If I recall corrently, Chuunins ARE supposed to be able to lead squadrons -- it says so in one of the episodes.

    Iruka-sensei did bump him up, true. But he was only supposed to be goin on rank D and C missions -- not exactly putting his, or (more importantly) anyone else's life on the line.

    I still have yet to Naruto prove that he is capable of true ninja tactics, let alone leading a group of people in them. Becoming a Chuunin is taking on a whole new level of responsibility that Naruto simply isn't qualified to take on.

    It's a lot easier to be a gennin than a chuunin though. And when did he take the lead in the forrest of death?

    He did come up with the idea of turning his clones into to Sasuke,Kabuto,Sakura to fool the ninjas who attacked them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

    RE: Eps 78 & 79

    Shikamaru has my vote for chuunin! Sasuke doesn't desrve to be yet he is too reckless same with Naruto and Neji. Temari was too easily led into a very nicely set trap by Shikamaru. Shino never got a chance to show off his skils but if we were to base on teh forest I'd say he has somewhat a fair chance to be a Chuunin.

    I said theses before in the manga forum, and I will repeat there here again.

    "Don't confuse cunning with wisdom/good tactic."
    "A Chuunin needs to have brain;Jounin is brain + power. Naruto = power alone, therefore Naruto < Chuunin < Jounin"


    End of story.

    yeah but you do need power to be able to stand any sort of a chance in the other parts of the exam prior to the main matches
