I'm pretty sure that Naruto is close to ending.  I'd say the manga should wrap up in less than a year.

you wouldn't happen to be talking about Urusei Yatsura?

@gambrinus:disqus both shows suffered from battles where half the action is taken up by reaction shots, to the point where it almost seems like a self-parody at times.  I don't think they need to pad the episodes so much as maybe take some time off.  The Naruto seasons produce about twenty episodes; if they cut that…

I'm not going to go so far as to actually DEFEND the show, but it's worth noting that the first batch of filler episodes hit around episode 100.  For those who don't know, the filler episodes are created when the anime catches up with the manga, and they have to create a bunch of original content while the manga pulls…

It's a genuinely guilty pleasure of mine.  There are some truly awful aspects of Naruto, like, say, the vast majority of the script.  There's definitely a tell-don't-show approach to all the major themes.  And some of the characters are moronic.  The animation quality varies wildly between episodes and even scenes,…

@avclub-20788f405e0ea98bab0017f5dd373cdb:disqus you would definitely win that bet.  MC Chris' most famous song is a rap about Bobba Fett.  In fairness, it's a decent song, but it doesn't exactly speak to any street cred.

Nice deposition outfit.  Really brings home the metaphor.

HUGE win!  She's probably still bragging about it.  C'mon Katie, shut up about boffing similarly-aged Jimmy Smits, already.

The video was great.  The fight choreography and editing were a little bit weak, but the concept for the final fight was terrific.  The second time, I had to force myself not to look at the screen in order to have any chance of following ARock.  I failed, of course, but what I caught was incredible, and as usual, his…
