My favorite's probably the puppet guy. And I didn't mean I like Itachi, he just isn't retarded looking. :P
Naruto Discussion!

My favorite is still Kisame. I think he's got an interesting look (being a shark guy and all). But the puppet guy is pretty cool too, and I want to see that plant guy (or venus flytrap guy…or whatever he is).

To Shylu: Yeah, hard to believe that Kishimoto actually portrays 15 year olds accurately, eh?[snapback]23223[/snapback]Bleach people are definitely not acting their age. But actually I think Kishimoto's 15 years olds look too young, or at least Naruto is; he still have the chubby baby-fat cheeks. Maybe he's just a little slow. :lol:
-
i wonder how good the old lady joining the group is. :lol: maybe she can kick the puppemaster's ass .

Maybe it's just where I live, but the kid/teenagers characters in anime/manga are almost always more mature/older-looking than the kids/teenagers I knew/know.

Wow, I never expected to like Kankuro. Good job with this chapter, I guess.

I certainly didn't meet anyone as huge as Chad or well stacked as Orihime when I was 15. Frankly, I think the characters in Bleach look more like College Students. The teens in Naruto right now look about right; I knew some 14-15 year olds in high school who looked like they belonged in Elementary school.
[snapback]23300[/snapback]My 9th grade class made the cast of Bleach look like middle schoolers. Many guys were jacked and over 6'6" (one kid was 6'11"). Don't even get me started on the girls. :P
-
Dear god, where do you LIVE?
-
People in my school are also very big. But when I see private school people they're very small.
I'm downloading the new chapter, but it's taking so long! Is it pretty good?
-
oh gawd. yxou guy are actually comparing chars to real people? oh come on.
-
Haha. My high-school freshman class was kinda split. Half the kids didn't look nearly their age while the other half looked like they just graduated college. And yes, I also knew girls who were 15 or younger with big breasts.
But I do agree that the 15-year olds in Bleach, especially Ichigo, do NOT look their age. He looks at least 18. But most anime/manga tend to make the characters look a bit older than they are.
The people in Naruto at least look their age. If anything, they look a little young. Then again, we haven't seen the other genin really in action except for Naruto and Sakura. Let's see how Gai's team looks when they're not just standing around.
Back on topic. Yes, this was a very sweet chapter, and made me like Kankuro a whole lot more than I did. He's a lot easier on the eyes when he's not in that cat-eared hood and the face-paint.
And my favorite Akatsuki member is Deidara (the "un" guy . . . or is it girl?)
-
I don't even know if Deidara's gender has been revealed yet. Those Akatsuki outfits get it the way of demonstrating gender. I THINK it's a guy, but I'm not sure. And yeah, he/she/it is my favorite Akatsuki thus far as well.
-
I'd like Kisame if not for two things:
-his sword looks stupid
-he kind of looks stupidThe venus flytrap guy looks pretty goofy, too, in my opinion.
-
Did anybody else think that these pages screamed Godhand?

[snapback]23348[/snapback]**I think they look interesting. They aren't normal human-looking characters. Kisame's sword is pretty original (or is there another anime with a scale-sword? I'm not sure) - also, I think he looks pretty cool myself (except his eyes are kind of beady). Also, Kisame uses polite speech, which I think is cool.
We haven't seen anything about the flytrap guy yet though…but I think he might be interesting, who knows.
But based on looks, I didn't really like the puppet guy. I do like his character so far though (since I like the puppet fighting style)....but we aren't sure if that is his real form or not are we? (since it was shown that it was just a puppet...of course it could just be like Kankuro's puppet that looked exactly like himself).
As for the clay member...I think it's a guy. Some japanese-speaker said on a message board that they were referred to as "he" (or some Japanese male pronoun or something...I don't know how it works). I don't know if they were correct or not though. I think some scanlation group/fan translation said it was a girl though...which caused some confusion.
-
Wow…..Akatsuki are the God Hand.

[snapback]23348[/snapback]YES. I think Kisame's alright, but that flytrap guy….no. I laughed my ass off when he appeared.
-
Interesting, the old lady is going to join Naruto and co. to find Gaara. I hope she can beat Sasori, I think it would be awesome for an old lady to kick some ass.
The flytrap guy is really ridiculous looking, I wonder how he walks through doors. Kisame, now he's got style.
-
I guess I just have strange tastes…oh well. :mellow: I've just been wanting to see the plant guy fight for awhile now.
For the Akatsuki, so far there are: Itachi (leaf), Kisame (mist), puppet-guy/Sasori (sand), clay-person/Deidara (was it sand or rock?), plant guy (??). (Am I forgetting somebody?)
Anyway...for the remaining members, maybe there will be...an evil bug guy? (from Shino's clan or something) I dunno.
-
If I remember correctly, Deidara was from the Sand Village. I would like to see another bug user like Shino, heck, I'd like to see more of Shino. The guy gets so little screen time.
EDIT: Never mind, I checked the chapters with Deidara, it looks like he/she is from the Stone Village.

I'm sure he'll appear with some new techniques…maybe he'll make a cool entrance or something.

I WANT THAT SCOUTER.
And yes,Deidara is a GIRL.
I don't know why but I kinda like her with her "Yeah.." -

[snapback]23458[/snapback]I'm not saying you are wrong…but how do you know? Where does it say so? I can't find it anywhere in the translations/scanlations on my computer (it doesn't say whether they are male or female).
Lots of forums are saying it's a guy...because he/she refers to themselves with masculine words or something (in Japanese...sorry, I don't know much about it). But this could either mine Deidara is a guy, or just a girl who speaks like a guy (a tomboy? Or something like that).
-
Yeh, it seems to be pretty up in the air. I initially thought Deidara was a guy, but then there was some weird mistranslation that implied Sasori was her husband or something & confused everyone.
So I guess it'll be up to Kishimoto to confirm her gender, & stop all the speculation.
-
Well, Deidara calls Sasori "Sasori no danna" which I took to mean as "my husband Sasori" but then someone pointed out that "danna" can also mean master, so that may be it.
Also, Deidara refers to him/herself as "oira" rather than "watashi/boku/ore", but I'm not familiar with the term "oira" so I dunno what gender it's supposed to indicate, if any. Even "watashi" doesn't necessarily mean a girl, the only real, true male indicator is boku or ore. But I've heard that some tomboys are known to use "boku."
Ahhh, I dunno. But until I see someone call Deidara "kare/otoko" or "kanojo/onna" I will remain lost.
That or until Deidara takes off the Akatsuki mantle and we get a better look at his/her body. But even then we might not be able to tell.
-
Well,I saw some info on Leafninja.com…
And Sasori is called Lord Sasori by her/him. -
'oira' is a more masculine term so there's a higher possibility that Deidara is a guy
Also, Deidara is from the rock village, you can clearly see it in chapter 248
I actually like fly-trap ninja, at least, I think the human part of him looks quite cool -
Wow, just wow… got around to watching the one hour special (ep.127-128). Gosh! that was mind numbing, so... boring. I don't think either episode went more than two or three minutes without some sort of flashback being shoved in our face. <_<

[snapback]23563[/snapback]i see. i'm still waitng for my better computer to be returned to me so i can dl it. :(
one queastion : has Nartuo caught up with Sasuke yet? -
ARGH.
I want to watch it!
Stupid ABC program just HAS to make my torrent creep along at 1.5kbps a sec at a 1MB connection!!! -

one queastion : has Nartuo caught up with Sasuke yet?Yeah, he catches up with him about half way through the episode. The first half is just the conclusion of the fight between Kimimaro and Gaara.
It was a really boring episode. So many flashbacks, the Kimimaro flashbacks weren't bad but the ones that Naruto kept having…UGH!!
-
WELCOME TO NARUTO V. SASUKE, AKA FLASHBACK HELL
Now that I think about it, Kisame isn't THAT bad… I guess I like him about as much as puppet-guy. His sword still looks kinda dumb though.
-
So uh, the 255 raw is out. It was about Team Gai this time, and uh…they still didn't do much. The Akatsuki started whatever it is they were planning to do with Gaara. I guess they were pulling out Shukaku.
Looks like Kisame and Gai are going to fight next chapter.
-
the ep 129 raw is out as well :) flashback stuff, not much to see :lol:
manga looks fine, but i'm in no mood to comprehend it now, so tommorow it is :)
-
i'm really sad that the anime is soooo boring since a couple of eps… i can't understand why...
but the manga kicks ass! ep 255 is out and i'm waiting to see how strong lee has become! i just hope that gai's team won't be crushed by akatsuki's members (this should happen if more than one is coming...)
naruto! come and kick some asses!!!
-
I enjoyed ep.129, the new OP/ED are pretty kickin' & the Itachi flashback was actually pretty interesting . I haven't seen the 255 raw yet, probably because OP came out so early, I totally forgot… but I'll wait for the scan to pop up.
-
I haven't watched 129 yet, did the Sasuke/Itachi flashback end in that episode or is there more for the next? I remember reading this part in the manga and being really bored.
New opening and ending? Great! ^_^
-
I think it continues into the next episode going by the preview.
-
Haven't seen the actual episode yet, but I downlaoded vids of the opening and closing.
The closing, I like. The closing has a nice sound and a singer to go with it.
The opening makes my ears bleed.
-
I'm loving Naruto more and more now, I'm finally once again as interested in it again as I am One Piece (ya'know, with One Piece being on haitus in Japan and a filler over at KF). The new Opening and Ending for the series were both pretty good. I personally like the new opening mostly cause (even though it's from behind) it shows all the Akatsuki members. The manga is also getting more and more interesting since we finally get to see Gai and Kisame really fight. Plus, it's nice now that we finally know Zetsu's name.
(To the Deidara guy/girl debate - "oira" is used by males 99.7% of the time, tomboys almost never use this form of "I" since it's ambiguity is unable to clearly state their male nature. So it's almost a complete certainty that Deidara is a guy, not girl. But Kishi could throw a curve with this one ^_^)

btw, do you think the anime will take a break after SPOILERS kicks SPOILERS- ass? or do you think it'll just go on with a lot of fillers to let manga go further a bit more?
-
Well, I'm thinking after the Naruto/Sasuke fight, they will probobly extend the next arc much longer (crosses fingers). If not, we might be looking at a full twenty six episode haitus O_O! (I personally don't like the Studio Pierrot filler arcs… the comedy are okay, but the serious ones are just sad...)
-
Chapter 255 was pretty good!
Now we see the Akatsuki starting to pull out Shukaku!
And Kisame's pose in the last few panels looks cool. -
Yeah, I liked the newest manga chapter. I've been waiting for Kisame to fight.
And the plant dude….
-
I'm pleased with the latest chapters because I have unbelievable bias - Kisame (favourite villain) vs. Gai (favourite character). So I'm pretty excited for the next chapter. Especially as we haven't seen Gai really fight before in a one-on-one situation (as he and Kisame never finished their previous fight).
I haven't been watching the anime. I do want to see the Anime version of Sasuke's flashbacks but… I'm just not bothered to watch them lately. I'm not a big fan of the new opening though.
-
Interesting chapter, it seems like it'll take three days & nights to extract Shuukaku from Gaara, so there's still time to save him, but he looks in pretty bad shape. I like the look of Zetsu, it seems like he can merge with the environment & survey the area.
I assume that Kisame, Itachi and Zetsu are using shadow replication, as they seem to be concentrating their chakra to the sealing ceremony in the Akatsuki's lair. So Kisame won't be at full capacity if he fights Gai? Though I guess the Samehada could act as a reserve if he runs out.
Anyways, next chapter should be great, can't wait.
-
I think it was mentioned that because of Kisame's large supply of chakra, he was best fit to fight Gai without having keeping up the clone have too much of a negative effect on his fighting.
Though, we all know that won't matter since the team will kick his ass anyway.
-
Yes, it'll be nice to see Gai fight one on one. Though, I always loved it when he beats up random ninjas. In fact, I love it when anybody beats up random ninjas.
I can't even make a guess on how the fight between Gai and Kisame will turn out, we've seen so little of these characters' skills. It's really hard to judge. But doesn't Kisame need water to perform his water techniques? If he does, then I guess he'll be fighting with Samehada only then.
