Hello folks! (the few of you who will read this)

No Naruto this week due to the Golden Week, so I took some time to review the story so far and comment on it. Just some random thoughts.

/////////WARNING: MAJOR NARUTO SPOILERS/////////

First: Naruto and One Piece are the best contemporary manga IMO. Together with Dragon Ball, they form what I call "the ultimate shonen".
Okay, now you there saying "but just because they are infinitely long, it doesn't make them good, you know!": They are good not just because they're long, but because they keep the quality EVEN though they're long. Actually it's a really impressive work to write something good and stretch it to 300+ chapters.
I know lots of stories that didn't make it to the third digit.

Naruto is one of the few that were able to cativate me enough to arouse grief by the death of one character (Asuma sensei, may you rest in peace)

Of course it wasn't always a perfecly knitted story, but the pros are absolutely outnumbering the cons. (The Itachi x Sasuke fight was the lamest in the entire manga!)

well this is it for now.
Expect more at the next journal: Flying priests, chibi cat gets lost and loads of naruto

BTW: NARUHINA FTW
thanks for your time
