Man haven't seen Nauroto in about 3 days!

Both arrived the Wednesday morning

I'm only on episode 124 or something of the original Naruto, so no chance of me making any spoilers. The sheer amount of filler annoys me but when you do finally see the fights they're amazing. Shikamaru is my favourite, followed by Rock Lee (can't wait to see his Drunken Fist in the next episode).

I can't actually recall there being any filler episodes before episode 124. I dunno though, I might be wrong. It's been 4 years since I watched the original series. But yeah Echoes is right, when the filler arc starts just move on to Shippuuden, maybe watch the last episode of the original series because I think it does contain some relevance to the main story.

Was Episode 101 a filler, or was that in the manga?

I guess I wasn't clear, I didn't mean whole filler episodes but rather extensive flashbacks to recent happenings and alot of stalling. In particular I seem to remember it around when they encountered Zabuza. Maybe its just because I'm watching them all quite quickly, if I was up to date and watching one a week I doubt the flashbacks would bother me.

I can't wait to see the Kakashi Chronicles episodes in Shippuuden, so yeah I think I'll skip the filler episodes. Have any of you seen the Kakashi episodes? Are they any good?

I can't remeber, I've read them, I know that much and it's good so probably worth watching.

I've watched almost 25 episodes of Shippuden now!

Never watching the dub...

I've watched all the shippuden episodes up to 122 and they've all been quite good, but there is a filler arc. And Kakashi's chronicles is short 2 episodes, but awesome.

Filler Seasons are usually frowned upon, but I'm really liking the Bleach Zampakutou one that's going on at the moment. Although by this point it's quite obvious that Muramasa

is Kenpachi's Zampakutou, and his ability to manipulate the spirits of other blades would have been Zaraki's Shinkai/Bankai ability. Good to see Hollow Ichigo too.

New Naruto and Bleach out,

Those last 2 weeks have felt like time slowed, but it was worth it.

Bleach:

Naruto:

Cowboy Bebop still beats all btw.

Just thought I would mention that...FROM BEYOND THE FECKING GRAVE.

Bye now.

THeahHRHEAaa THEEEEEEEaeeeeee BBEEAAEAEEAAARRRzESXZ.!>

So FUNi finally put One Piece back online, subs, dubs, and all. I watched the first ep of the dub and 2 things struck me immediately:
1. No FECKIN PIRATE RAP!...But not the best Theme Song in the World ever either.
2. They said BEER!...YES!

Yeah, the Funimation One Piece dub actually looks pretty damn good.
But I\'ll still be sticking to fansubs. Would like to pick up the DVDs if I ever see them, which I never will...

And you can\'t watch the official releases online in the UK.

And I quite like the theme song, it\'s a fairly decent attempt at an English version of the original \'We Are\', right?

I've watched up to episode 19 of Shippuuden. Its great and I'm loving the many Bruce Lee references. Although can anyone elaborate on the second ending for me? They're all dressed as High School students. Is this in reference to some other anime? Naruto looks an awful lot like Ichigo in it, that said I've only ever watched one episode of Bleach.

I've yet to see that one but it sounds cool.

I'm still impressed by Gai's nunchaku skill! And its a shame Lee didn't get to use his tonfa.

BACCHIKOI!

Shaman King has finally finished
D.Gray man has started back up again
Bleach was awesome
Naruto is wicked sick

Show Spoiler

Sasuke kills Orochimaru, obvious but still shocking.

Can't people keep Sonichu out of the anime community? =_=

Nooo moooooore.

As for that anime, I lol'd, but then I serious'd.

Naruto out early!

DB appear to have merged with Taka to sub Naruto. I call troll, they say it\'s 1080p (which is silly in itself, it doesn\'t air in 1080p) but the file size is only 170MB.

EDIT: Okay, definite troll, Naruto didn\'t even air this week.
