Back to the topic:
The whole Rescue Gaara arc seemed meaningless to me. Nothing happened, and we haven't even seen him after it. Not just disappointing, it was worst arc in Naruto.

Joke post?

More than half the cast is cannon fodder. Much like Asuma, you could kill just about anybody off and there would be no real implications to the story. Which is unfortunate really because there are plenty of characters who are begging to be elaborated on (I'm still holding out for Ino

).

most disappointing:

The ENDLESS AMOUNT OF THINGS Sharingan can do. Kishi seems to just make up crap to have Sasuke win his battles.

Nintendo · 2007-07-20, 12:31

sasuke can control anything with his eyes....they will surpass itaches....

Geez, I needed recommendations. RECOMMENDATIONS, not some irony (or whatever it is).
Shit, looks like I'll just have to watch that Evangelion...

Do you wan't this manga to go on until Kishimoto dies?

I see, our tastes are different...
In my opinion, the fights weren't really good(for Naruto standarts, of course), there wasn't much of character development, and, I already said, nothing happened.

Not really joke post...
I think that Ino is developed well enough, she already got her flashback... Meh, she's just a loud-mouth, who's too obsessed with guys, and tries to make them like her, even if she doesn't know what they really like... And so she goes on diets and stuff... She doesn't deserve more than supporting role, she's too normal.

On topic:
Akatsuki Kunoichi. She's not even pretty... SHE LOOKS LIKE SOME F*CKING KIMIMARO CLONE WITH DYED HAIR!(sorry about caps)

Medalist · 2007-07-20, 19:14

Are S-Ranked criminals that have probably killed plenty of people supposed to look pretty?

Most disappointing thing is Deidara's blast doesn't kill Sasuke.

KyuubiRocks · 2007-07-20, 21:39

I think the most disappointing thing in Naruto is the amount of power Sasuke
has gained...I mean in the time skip alone, he's gained enough power to defeat Orochimaru, beat Deidara and even suppress the power of the Kyuubi in side Naruto.. Everyone else has just fallen waste side.. am i wrong?!..

gencbiba · 2007-07-20, 22:08

Naruto has an excellent concept. The problem with the title is that the main character is too, simple... I mean, it works for Slam Dunk, but for this, I don't think so. Not to mention, the fights are TOO long. If a fight was like 1 episode long then it would be good or like 1-2 chapters. The author has been overdoing a lot of stuff.

If Naruto had a kick-ass protagonist and fights weren't so dragged out, this would be really great. Oh, and I forgot to mention the history lessons and lectures during fights. Damn it, you're not Judge Joe Brown or whatever. You're a ninja so stop trying to judge people.

Yeah...the series would be called "SASUKE"...not "NARUTO"..lol

razor886 · 2007-07-21, 11:23

1)Sasuke's immortallity...

2)The two recent Akatsuki deaths...

3)Too much piercings and rings all over AL's face makes him look like a Naruto punk...

4)The anime is just sooooo dam slow...

I have to side with you on this one. There should be SOME kind of limit to his power. I mean, c'mon kishimoto, give it break already. Geez....

Naruto_spartan · 2007-07-21, 18:26

I am really desapointed with Naruto's development, I mean he had 2 and a half years, yet he hasn't shown very much. He also has the Kyuubi, why doesn't he try to talk to it? to find out something more about the Uchiha clan or something? Also why does he have such a small role to play? And why does he sometimes act like a real hero and other times like a real idiot? He just doesn't understand his own potential, and he seams to not be the type that would give it all unless one of his friends is in the way, gets injured or dies. I think that he needs a little more suffering to make his stronger.
I am also very dissapointed with Sakura, in both the parts, where it is made clear that she, at least in part 1, is very selfish and that whole obsecion with Sasuke continues even in part 2, which is very annoying

Spectacular_Insanity · 2007-07-21, 19:11

Well, actually he HAS talked to it, for very brief moments, in the anime. Usually when he's demanding chakra, calling it "rent" in the anime. At least that's what he said in the English dubbed version.

Hir0 · 2007-07-21, 19:55

ok ive got to add, the last chapter definately, 363.

too many unnecessary deaths. Tobi died, he hasnt done anything! Manda died too. Gamabunta was suppose to set the score with him! Deidara dieing is inevitable, hes lived for too long, but Tobi and Manda? I also dont like the idea of AL following some1 elses orders too

Spoiler for (spoiler added by Spec_In, just in case post is ever changed. Uhhhhh....):

Don't you think that you should put that in spoilers? Nevermind, I guess it doesn't matter THAT much...

Question · 2007-07-21, 20:54

Sasuke didnt die in the last chapter. Unbelivably dissapointing.

DAmer · 2007-07-22, 01:54

Most dissapointing would be the way Al's char looks like in the most recent chapter he looks like naruto's older version with piercings. If he really isnt related to naruto then he should have looked different and if he is related then that is pretty dissapointing too cuz its stupid.

Yeah that stinks... And about AL I expected him to look much much cooler than a Super-Punk

BlackShinobi07 · 2007-07-23, 20:14

Revalation of the AL leader was a little disapointing. He looks a little too young to be running an orgainzation like Akatsuki and fact and hair style are very, very similar to Naruto. The peircings also dont look too attractive or original. Its almost like Kishi just through this character together without any real thought except to move the story along. I hope his peircings at least serve a purpose or are apart of his jusus. I doubt his face looks like a pin cushin for nothing.

ZGoten · 2007-07-23, 20:55

Al looks damn cool too me, and there is no way Sasuke could die by a "meaningless" charakter (sorry Deidara).
But Manda dying that way really is disappointing.

I dont think naruto battles are That long... I mean.... they are shorts compared to DB fights

I woulnt now it I will be deapointed or not... the the most desapointing thin in this serie is if Sasuke dosnt die... I want to see sasuke die, I was so mad when deidara died instead of sasuke.. I think Deidara was a cool caracter
