Naruto

[Colenzo]

My guess is that he either thought the Sharingan would help him learn so much in the time he had Sasuke's body(his ultimate goal was to learn all jutsu, right?) that it'd be worth all the extra effort, or maybe he made his soul-transferring technique last longer. Guess we'll never know.

I really hope Naruto doesn't learn how to rap...

believe it

Kakshi didn't escape it. He did die, he just got Barney and Friends-ed back to life. Same with Hinata and Gaara.

Neji was supposed to be dead, essentially, along with Chouji. Everyone in this fucking show that's a main character and a good guy just gets haxxored back to life on a technicality.

It doesn't make it any less awesome, its just predictable. No matter how much destruction is wrought, if you're team 7 or associated with any sort of youth, you'll survive.

It doesn't really fit to kill any of the Konoha 11 though.

Ok, so I was going to type out why for each team, started with team 8 and actually...you could kill Kiba or Shino and it wouldn't be a big deal. Neji has to stay around for any Hyuuga family drama with the seals/families, Lee is too awesome, Ten-ten wouldn't matter if they died as she's pretty much the weakest of the 11 or at least has the least impressive bloodline. Shikamaru's whole team needs to stay alive as they already lost their master and they are useless outside of their 3-team formation because they're lazy and not that impressive (aside from Shikamaru) and it'd be torture to kill off Shikamaru's team after he lost his teacher in front of his eyes like that, lol.

Also, with the amount of hate Kishimoto gets with how he treats girls as only Tsunade has shown to be a badass (and honestly only during the 3-sannin fight) it'd be lame for him to kill Sakura, though I can see it happening in the final confrontation. I can see Sakura or Kakashi dying attempting to stop the fight, since it'd be like their skirmish on the rooftop in the early days.

Sakura dies.

And nothing of value was lost.

Ichi-- err, Naruto, you have to subdue your Inner Ho-- errr... dark side, if you want to control the Viz-- fuck, I mean.. the Kyuubi's power!

[Dantrag]

I'm sad to say I watched the last episode of Naruto after not watching for something like 3 years. I actually found myself enjoying the last ep and hoping that the next 5-10 eps are decent. I will actually watch them and give them a try.

[Tymon]

They've done well with the important fights recently so I assume that they will do well here too

This [Pain] is probably my favorite arc in the whole manga so I anticipate watching it animated

[DrClout]

It's 3AM and I'm dead tired. I'm just gonna leave this here and say "GoGo Bee!":

You all had better be talking only about Shippuuden openings, because if you're talking in general, and no one has brought up Haruka Kanata... Shame on you all.

[Salodin]

Nope, sorry. Haruka Kanata is still better. I think a close second would be 'Seishun kyosokyoku'.

[EternalSnow]

It's not translated yet, but this is the new manga chapter I believe.

man just thinking about knowing you're about to be pwnt sucks.

[Zeb]

I was looking at the manga after watching this last episode trying to figure out how many more episodes until Naruto shows up, and I noticed that the anime is redoing the Pain vs Konoha in a different order. I'm hoping they're trying to make the scenes a flow bit better and not getting ready to add a shit ton of flashback filler, because the anime is going at a very nice pace right now.

Haruka Kanata is definitely better. AKFG is one of my favorite bands, though, so that could be it, too lol.

Asian Kung Fu Generation is fantastic. They're behind my favorite FMA OP as well:

Shounen Jump: Kakuzu, ur doin' it wrong

[Zilo]

I don't know which is more disturbing: Sasuke being the favorite Akatsuki (even though he's not really a member because he lacks the cool decoder ring and cause he's such an emo troll) or Kakashi being as popular as Kiba.

Japan certainly is an odd place indeed.

[Zilong]

I don't think that's the Japan number, they don't do character ranking by %
