Naruto 646-A depressing tale

This chapter made me sad. To see all those people dying, Naruto losing his nine-tailed chakra, and Obito going ham with the ten-tails. This is good however, because it should be the darkest part of the series.  Naruto now faces a seemingly insurmountable task, his power has already peaked, and the moon's eye plan is about to pull through.  It seems nothing can stop Obito.  Except Madara. Madara doesn't like how Obito took the ten-tails all for himself. Maybe Obito's undoing has something to do with Madara turning against Obito and/or Kakashi making an epic comeback.

The Third Hokage sure made an epic comeback by saving Naruto from the tree of doom. And yet I get the story with the tree and all but I actually didn't need that info. I'd rather see more fighting than realize every ninja is related to one guy whose mom went Adam and Eve on us by eating a fruit from the ten-tails. It gives meaningless background.  I left this chapter with a frown on my face, but that was the effect it was designed to have.  SO it is still a good chapter, but a sad and slow one.

Next time... the friggin tree needs a chainsaw to the face or something, I don't know. I guess its going to be Obito vs Madara and first hokage has time to make a real difference in the battle. All the alliance needs to do is destroy the tree bud at the top before it sprouts. Expect a race against time to the top of the tree. Hopefully Sasuke comes to the rescue, seeing as he has not done much yet and still has most of his chakra.  This is his time to shine.  See you next week!

Attack on Titan - Initial Review

Well I joined an anime club. While there we watched the first three episodes of Attack on Titan. It was really cool. The main character is seeking revenge like sasuke and is confident as naruto for becoming hokage.

The only negative is the in-show censorship. I mean, after watching Elfen Lied, this seems like baby stuff. Naked giants and people being eaten alive, but with minimal nudity and no gore.  It's probably just me but I like when does don't have to do this. Either go all out or don't have all the giants naked! This is kind of ridiculous though. It wouldn't make sense for them to be clothed, and the lack of gore makes it viewable by a larger audience.

Overall dark, epic, funny, and smart I give it a 5/7 (great) so far.  I heard it gets better too!

Naruto 645 - Ninetailed sage mode!

This was an epic chapter! I can't believe the sage mode nine tail eyes made a comeback! Minato and naruto are unbelievably strong together. Even tobi was like "I can't handle this much longer, time to go ahead with my plan."  Infinite tsukuomi is imminent. This indicates that the fight we have been witnessing the past year and a half or so is finally wrapping up.

This is bitter sweet. On the one hand, this fight has been on a scale usually reserved for the climax of the best mangas. After this war is over, we are FINALLY done with the akatsuki. Sasuke and orochimaru will become the main attraction, as they fight naruto for the position of hokage.  Did you see Sasuke in this chapter? He was just sitting there wonderinv how naruto could be so strong. There was literally nothing for him to do. Naruto once again has surpassed Sasuke by leaps and bounds. And we all know what happened ghe firdt time Sasuke got jelly.

You can't even begin to predict the next chapter, but I think maybe even madara will try to delay the ten tails so he can fight the first longer. And Sasuke will poop his pants. See you next week!

Naruto 644 - Giant teleportation

OK so this chapter was good in that we saw how Minato and Naruto together have the potential to be insanely powerful.  This was already assumed but nonetheless, the fact that EVERYONE in the shinobi alliance was teleported away using Kurama's chakra displays how powerful it is.  Also we discover that the Second Hokage invented the Shadow Clone jutsu. Pretty impressive stuff man.  By the way I'm glad we got to see Killer Bee since we have not seen him in a while. I thought he would be much more powerful and useful than he's being right now.  The explanations for this are that he has been fighting the longest and is injured, and the jump in power from 8 to 9 tails is by far the greatest.  Still, it seems weird for the 8 tails to be relying on Kurama's chakra.

I can't wait to see what this duo does next.  Naruto and his dad together, with a full powered nine tails.  This next chapter has the potential of being the best since Naruto first melded his chakra with Kurama.  I predict... idk the ressurection of the nine tails?!  Like, one swipe of the tail creates tsunamis and topples mountains type-deal. No more half-assed 4.5 tails (not to say it wasn't awesome before).  So yeah i'll blog next week! :)

627: Sasuke's Reply- Sasuke Will Fight Madara!

This is the best non- combative chapter ever. Hands down.  Sasuke is now my favorite character.  First Sasuke and the others discussed their options and reviewed Madara's plan.  Sasuke weighed his decision to destroy Konoha or fight Madara based on everything his brother ever said to him.  It seemed as though Itachi's final words lifted the pressure of "avenging" Itcahi off of Sasuke's shoulders.  Now that Sasuke is free  to carry out his own dreams, he decided to protect everything that Itachi and every other shinobi fought so hard top achieve.  Sasuke could not let the world be governed by Madara as one huge "perfect world." He realized that shinobi fight for true peace and work to achieve that goal.  Madara's method skips past that work and negates all of it.  Sasuke is better than that.

Since that decision the hogakes are ready to go.  Minato will get to fight alongside Naruto, the third will be able to repay some of his mistakes and fight alongside Orochimaru, the second will eliminate the Uchiha he never trusted, and the first will settle things with Madara once again.  Its great!  I heard someone mention the Minato-Obito relationship. That should be an interesting conversation.  Kakashi will be able to see his former sensei as well!

Of course, surrounded by heavyweight fighters, Shigetsu feels out of place and tries to escape.  However he is stopped by non other than Karin, who is flustered with Sasuke stabbing her. However everything goes back to normal because she still loves him.  She is surprised to see Orochimaru who says "yeah Sasuke stabbed me too, but I suggest you go with the flow." That was funny.  I also liked the look on Sasuke's face when Karin leaned on him.  He's like "Get of B***ch!"  There were quite a few humorous and quaint moments.  To cap it off, the four Hogakes stood on their four statues carved in the rock.  Stuff is about to go down!!!

oops... ending flashbackception

Yeah i forgot last week.  oh well I have so much going on with school between choosing my college and studying for AP Exams. No time to blog.  But heres I is.  That last Naruto chapter was cool, but now I want to finally finish flashbackception (flashback of the young 1st Hokage in the middle of a flashback of the final fight with madara vs 1st Hokage).  I can't wait to see what Sasuke has to say.  He could become good or remain evil.  I feel like he will not answer this question until he goes to the battlefield himself.  If they all go, it would really help the alliance out.  They are really struggling.

During my hiatus from using this blog, I have read the Death Note manga, watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and the Bleach anime (skipping filler) and now I am reading bleach manga.  I'm still about 50 chapters behind the present. I have to say, Naruto is not the the and only awesome anime/manga.  I was ignorant before.  I can honestly say bleach does just as much better than Naruto as Naruto has some things better than bleach.  Death Note I see as on another level/genre and Yu-gi-oh was geared for young kids, but pulled at the heartstrings more than the others.  Some Anime I have seen is just bad.  But im happy to finally be a "wellrounded" anime fan, rather than a simple narutard.  That being said I still think Naruto is the best.  Out of 7, Naruto is a 7 (perfect), bleach is 6 (Excellent), Death Note 6, Yugioh 4 (good).
