Minato was just that epic.
Akatsuki members were no joke but most of the times they got beaten were when they were separated and out numbered. That was the key to winning against them. As for someone like Hidan, his death was planned out meticulously (after they knew exactly what his techniques did.) Deidara had always been shown as the hot headed one, so no surprise he got pissed and suicided. Also we never saw much of the fights but it was stated that each Akatsuki member was picked to take down there target specifically. In other words most likely Tobi and Pein studied each target for weaknesses. We never saw the fights so they might have been really epic battles just like Deidara vs Gaara. Gaara probably wouldn't have even lost if he hadn't had to protect the city.
As for the eyes they're a huge power up, totally broken as hell. Even if they aren't mangekyo sharingan they still can analyze and understand any jutsu. Rinnegan at the very least, gives them the full field of view from each other to have no blind spots. Not only that they have nigh unlimited chakra to use the sharingan to avoid getting tired like Kakashi. The only problem with them I'd say is if they use too much tailed beast chakra they'll transform really easily. At least they should, given they barely have any willpower to fight it with right now.
except it shows all of the hosts with 1 tail at the end of the chapter.
I'll tell you how I feel about Naruto and Bleach..
They both piss me off.. I keep up with them, mainly due to being able to read the manga at work but the anime.. seriously, the fillers are just the start.. They piss me off to no end, mainly because they love to pop them shits right in the middle of huge story archs and ruin them and then of course, the story itself is becoming really shitty.. If I could, I'd choke the shit out of Sasuke.... and then I'd choke the shit out of Sakura and then take her retarded head and shove it up his ass... hard and very far. That way the bitch can be satasfied.. even thought the dude almost killed her multiple times now and if it wasn't for Naruto, she'd be dead'er then shit.
Really, as far as the fights go, the best ones are way in the past . Naruto and Sasuke fighting for the first time was pretty beast and then Rock Lee... I love that guy by the way.. Him fighting with Gara was by far the best fight in the series and then him getting drunk and fighting was also awesome..
To be honest, I don't even know why I follow this as much as I do.. I used to love Kakashi and Itachi and while I didn't care for Naruto, he really grew on me. Sometimes I just wish they would skip all this hoopla and just show him all grown up with all his powers.. Maybe then this crap would be as exciting as it used to be. Also, if they made the bad guys a little less emo, it would do the series some good.. Sasuke for example, especially after his brother lets him win that fight, totally a little bitch.
will you stop posting lol
I usually just skip fillers altogether and catch back up once the main arc returns to the forefront. Naruto is a shounen so there are going to be little nuances that bother you if you happen to be older than the target age group but this is to be expected. Personally, I just want to see the end of this series since ive watched/read it from the beginning.
Stuff like Sakura being retarded I just ignore for my own sake. Kishi isn't interested in making any of the female characters useful and while that may detract from the series, there really isn't much in complaining about it. She's been consistently retarded at least though I wish her character was written out when team 7 reunited post-Danzo.
I disagree on there being few good fights in Shippuden as most of the fights have been worth the viewing and rival Part I. Taka/Bee, Naruto/Pain, Itachi/Sauce, Jiraiya/Pain jump out as excellent and regardless of what the haters say about the animation quality for Kyuubi/Pain it will remain one of the most memorable fights in the series thus far.
How can anyone forget this. :D
Regarding Sauce post-Itachi? Him becoming a villain was the only path possible that'd seem legitimate to readers but I do agree his motives are shaky and his constant whining about the Uchiha clan he was barely old enough to know is grating on the mind.
Then again being mindfucked can really take a person for a whirl. Thanks Itachi!
The Naruto/Pain fight could've been so much more epic in the anime if I wasn't laughing at all the retarded animations the majority of the time lol.
Calling it, Tobi (no one lulz) will reveal his face as a new year's cliffhanger. Only 5 chapters to go!
I'm gonna take your call and tweak it a bit. We always get a 2 week break around new years. I'm seeing a chapter right before the 2 week break where Tobi's mask is finally taken off, and the cliff hanger will be that he'll finally be revealed in the new chapter in 2 weeks time
It's sad because they covered the most epic part of that fight up with water.Spoiler: show
Let the haters hate. I love the hyper animated episodes.
That shit sucked. If I never see another episode with road runner animation it'll be too soon.
