Naruto manga. OMG the LUUUUVV. I die.

It's all suzume_sparrow's fault!

I started reading the Naruto manga scanlations Suzu sent and O.M.F.G! I am soooo into it. I'm actually really surprised -- I don't dislike shounen fighting/tournament-style manga/anime, but I'm usually not that obsessed by them. But OMG I have been reading the Naruto manga nonstop for the past two weeks. (I'm up to chapter 280 right now.)

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this series. Soooo much.

Once I catch up to the current chapter releases, I'll have to go and start watching the anime episodes that Suzu sent me last year. >_<; And I'll have to find a torrent for whatever episodes I don't have. I haven't even attempted to read Naruto fanfic yet, but I will definitely have to look for some. I don't think I'll have pairing preferences just yet, so if you have recommendations, please let me know. Otherwise, I might just be leaning toward gaanaru.

Also, I really like Kakashi and Jiraiya (not together necessarily). Jiraiya really reminds me of Bontenmaru (whom I loooove~) from Samurai Deeper Kyo. So~ cute. ^^


...

loudnbothered, I was wondering if you'd recommend any Naruto fighting games for either PS2 or PSP, since those are the only systems I have access to.

How you screened that reply I don't know :-D, but yes I'm totally current in the manga, which is at chapter 334 right now, and watched the series up until the filler began, which was at around ep 136 or so. I just couldn't wait anymore, and ran to the manga haha.

I've heard about the filler ending and am very excited! "Naruto Shippuuden" is scheduled to start in winter '07, which hopefully means late Jan. to mid Feb. (I'm a hopeful lad) but could be as late as March. We'll seeee.

You know, I'm *really* glad I wasn't into Naruto when we were in Japan... otherwise, who knows how much more money I would have spent, omg.

o.O;

P.S. What does "Shippuuden" mean? And if the fillers started around 136... dare I ask what episode they're up to now?

Haha. I saw that you're already dabbling into the ficdom. Woot. Oh! Talk to Juliet about that I suppose.

The people behind naruto anime went for the freaking gold. There are 212 eps now, and since that 136 or so it has ALL been filler, BAD filler. That's nearly two years :-/. I suppose it was pretty "gangsta" of them to make the decision to do that O_o.

Shippuuden means Hurricane Chronicles, as I've seen it widely translated. Otherwise known as Naruto Z bwahaha.
