tattoo: *sigh* E says i was laughing and carrying on a conversation with the group of us that went. i don't remember that. i do remember them having to pry my hand from the armrest and how painful it was to have blood return to my fingers. never again.
but yeah, exactly. i like seeing it animated now, but at the same time it's like 'c'mon man! really? really?'.
with the Asuma arc (we stopped at ep 56 to um . . . assimilate information), i think the problem is Asuma has a death sentence. but the fact that not much attention was paid to him even though he is the son of the Third, so he doesn't get the sympathy vote because nobody really knows him. ok fine, let him shine a bit. whatever.
the other problem is that they have to throw in those worthless not canon characters because they aren't allowed to contradict Kishimoto's portrayal of anyone native to the Naruto'verse. i don't think i made sense. so Naruto can only be a dumbass in the filler, Sakura heals. Sai (even though he's more a free agent) can only be that dude who's trying to learn emotion but sometimes gets it wrong.
it would probably be better if Kishimoto offered ideas for filler on things he wanted clarified but didn't have time for (like all the crap we've mentioned wanting expanded).
fine. we'll keep Sai as the likable not quite clone.
sasuke . . . well. the thing is *pauses* oh holy damn, i was really about to defend him. *looks horrified* though i still might later *shame. so much shame*
Itachi . . . the first i saw him, i thought, 'He's.The.Shit.' E. didn't like him cause he was 'Just another damn annoying Uchiha stealing the show'. gawd i i felt so vindicated when he turned out to be a good guy.
