Naruto

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

Up to about 40 episodes... then it starts to suck, gets better again, starts to suck more, gets better, starts to FUCK UP, gets better again.... and basically just read the Manga before you´re let down by the Animé over at http://www.narutofan.com
By saying the episodes after 40 sucks (for a while) you seem to be implying that Rock Lee's fight sucked. (won't say with who so new people can enjoy)

Blasphemy, I say!

unfortunately you've named a lot of names which I also haven't watched/read, so I don't have a comparison.

First, right now I'm interested in manga, because I've kind of lost interest in TV anime. But if I can read it online I'll just check it out myself.

And those Naruto anime specials (Jump Festa 2003 & 2004) suck even more.
i don't read the manga but i hear that the race (ep 97-106) is actually in the manga. i could be wrong but they still aren't too bad of fillers. you see naruto learning to handle the rasengan much better and the growing jealous hate that sasuke has for naruto

No. The race is is not part of the manga. The first thing that happens after he awakens from his coma (after the Itachi fight) is the fight on the roof. Besides I think the main theme of the race (Naruto making some guy trust in other people again) is just a repetition of the first story arc. And the villain of the race (that traitor ninja) is so god damn gay...,you'll never find anything like him in the manga.
Ep. 97-106 also contains great fillers like "uncover Kakashi's face" or "Konohamaru bitchin'". :x

Nah the race wasn't part of teh manga. The character was created by the anime director. But the filler "Uncover Kakashi's face" was in the manga

Well of course the filler sucks major monkey balls. You guys shouldn't even count that. When I think of Naruto, I only think of the official plot. I love the anime; it's awesome. I just ignore the filler, because it's bound to happen. Besides, I heard the art technique of the manga isn't as good as the anime, but I can't vouch for that myself.

The Uncover Kakashi's mask filler was hilarious to me though. The anime art varies, but the manga is consistent.

You sure that "Uncover Kakashi's face" was in the manga?
Can't remember reading that chapter and it doesn't make sense chronologically since the fight on the hospital's roof occurs right after Sasuke wakes from his coma.

libaax, from what i've seen, it seems similar with some kid starting out in his fighting technique and basically rising through the ranks. It is usually dealing with the the will being a strong almost unstoppable force that motivates the main character.

Yeah but Ippo path isnt as easy as superhuman Narutos. Naruto and ippo characther can be compared but the two mangas is completly diffrent Ippo is much more real then Naruto who is about super powers,seal,bloodlimit and stuff..

Ha! I knew it, Kiba fights the two-headed guy, and Shikamaru fights Tayuya. Have to admit, didn’t foresee the arrival of this Kimimaro guy though.

Kimi looks much cooler than i expected.

But i didnt like how there was no fitting music when Naruto activated kyubi mode and when they show the several hundreds bunshins,it didnt feel anything because the lack of music.

Well, I just meant the basic premise. I wasn't really trying to compare details.
