Quote:Naruto's great for that mindless DBZ fighting and action and stupid antics, but beyond that, I really dont think it's very good.
The manga is awesome (wish I could get 'em all). But, the anime isn't too good. Full of fillers, and yeah, the fights are drawn out with all that talking. The only part in Naruto that I enjoyed watching was the battle between the Hokage and Orochimaru, and I even had to skip some parts coz they were talking and reminiscing so much. I wonder why people who have only watched the anime like Naruto so much.
Rebel, if you want kick-ass battles, watch Bleach. The first episodes up to the Soul Society arc are awesome, and has a lot less flashbacks and long talks than Naruto (although the Soul Society arc does become ladden with flashbacks in some parts). I don't recommend continuing after the Soul Society arc, coz the filler Bount arc bored the shit even out of me, and I'm a Bleach fan.
