It’s been a month already since my last post. I have been very busy with so many stuffs, but now I’m back. Naruto Shippuuden is damn good, until now am asking myself, “Is this really happening?”, I’m still stupified with Naruto Shippuuden coming out on our TV screens, uhm well PCs actually. I’ve already indulged and spoiled myself of the upcoming episodes of Naruto Shippuuden through my 2-minute pleasure of reading the manga. Reading the comic strip adaptation was good and enticing, but damn, when you watched the animated version, its amazing! The fact that you’d already know what will happen next, still, there’s a part of you that can’t resist but watch every single scene. And what’s good with anime is tha fact that creators/producers are able to play around with the script. They can prolonged some part of it which was usually left behind on the manga adaptation because of the space constraints. A chapter of the manga usually consists of 16-18 pages unlike from the animes’ running time of 20+ minutes, so producers really have much time to play with it plus the fact that a single chapter of manga covers at least 3-4 episodes of the anime.
And then there’s the Naruto Shippuuden…
When spoilers went out 2-months ago and circulates from the internet, revealing there will be a teaser of the upcoming episodes and what to expect on the anime, I wasn’t expecting it was “that”. I’m talking about the 8-minutes “flashforward” of the very much awaited reunion of Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto. It was amazing. Again, even if I’ve already read this part on the manga, I can’t help it, amazes me still. Add to it Sasuke’s conversation with the Kyuubi, everything else on the flashforward teaser is worth watching. Producers surely knows how to keep the fans even more addictive with the show.
Here’s comes the Rescue Gaara Arc…
Episode 5 of the Naruto Shippuuden, Gaara is still in combat with Akatsuki’s Deidera. Well, at least now we know that Deidara is a “guy”. On the manga itself, it was hard to distinguished whos girl and not. But now, we clearly know that Deidara is in fact, a guy. I guess, two or three more episodes before Gaara falls on Deidara’s trap and eventually on their possesion.
On the manga…
It’s to early to say that Orochimaru is gone. I don’t know but I know there’s a twist on the current plot and this “Mizugetsu” thing is interesting.
What to expect on anime…
Rescue Gaara arc (now)
Sai and Sasuke arc (next)
Team 10 arc (later)
