Naruto anime -- episode 219

[askerian]

ONLY ONE MORE EPISODE BEFORE PART 2.



-More Ino waahh-ing because she's useless but not doing anything about it...

-yess, Sakura, heal Lee's upper thigh~ I'm sure he doesn't mind~

-InoSakuLeeGaara? Yes. Yes, I believe I shall ship'em.

-Since when does Gaara take retarded combat stances? he always stands straight with his arms crossed. The hell. Is that a ploy to make him look more stressed out? Like he'd actually SHOW that. ~_~

-Ohman, the bad guy is a Sailor Transformer. He calls out into the sky and his partners' weapons transform into balls of light, zip toward him and add themselves to his own stuff. Laaaame. =___=

-Gaara sucks at dodging. But then... he's not used to it. XD I liked the doton-like jutsu though, but doesn't that require chakra that he's supposed not to have anymore? apparently not.

-... why does Gaara look even more like Akira? BAD ARTISTS. BAD.

-At least Matsuri isn't attracting attention to herself and actually goes to hide when Naruto tells her to! Maybe she isn't a sue at all, then. Good girl.

-Yes, gaara... FOLLOW THE BAD GUY'S ADVICE. IT ISNT LIKE HE HAS TO HAVE A COUNTER FOR SHUKAKU. EVERY ENEMY IS NICE ENOUGH TO POINT OUT THE ONE ATTACK THAT CAN ACTUALLY HURT THEM. not that gaara had much choice, probably, but. bah. =__= the logistics really suck.

-Head Bad Guy with Expository Diarrhea of the Mouth, check. Wahh Wahh We're Not Really Evil Your People Were Just Mean To Us, check. Real Ultimate Weapon That's Better Than All Other Ultimate Weapons Ever Shown In These Fillers, check.

-Oh my. Gaara wastes his last drops of chakra just so he can save Naruto's life. *waves tiny narugaa flag*

-yay Kakashi cameo -- OMG IS THAT A FLASH OF JIRAIYA'S SHOULDER.

-"Here, useless-chan! Take this weapon that I, your loving teacher, carried over my heart and get killed trying to save me!" No seriously what the fuck was that, he could have run off ten times before the bad guy closed the suddenly hugeass gaps --ahh, consistent artwork, how more believable would you make these episodes. I'm thinking not a lot, but at least a little less unfuckinglikely, yeah? -- and instead he chooses to give a newbie a weapon she doesn't really know how to use.

-AHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SARCOPHAGUS THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS DESIGN FOR A CASKET EVER AHAHAHAHA OMG WHAT. XDDDD

-Oh. Seimei. ... voice. ... wow. Not sure I like it yet, but. it's so... low. And calm and collected. and purry-smug. And... I think I kinda... like the design? Maybe. huh. *pokes self* O_o Though huh, way to mess up the calm, collected godlike thing with the Obligatory Creezy Evil Laughter.

-I kinda like Naruto being useless so far, because Naruto Saves the Day (again) was getting kind of tiresome. But NNNGH. The art. And movement. They make it not make sense. It's all so awkward and contrived. They need to hire a better story-board guy already. ~_~

-Naruto not using kage Bunshin no Jutsu to charge? That would be refreshing too... if, in this precise case, it wasn't also COMPLETELY RETARDED. The guy has three tentacle-like blade things that keep people at bay -- the obvious solution would be to get them busy at the same time to slip pas his guard, but no. Today Naruto is retarded and likes to charge like a retard.

-Hay there, do you know what time is it? It's ShikaTema time~ ♥

-... =__= Yes, Naruto, stand here and look stupid just so Useless-chan can LASSO THE THREE EVOLVED ATTACK-TENTACLES WITH A WEAPON SHE SUCKED AT THE ONLY TIME SHE HANDLED IT.

-HAY SHUKAKU. ♥

-END. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


Only one more episode. Only one. wheee. *__*

DEBATING WATCHING THIS.

On the one hand, Kakashi cameo? Sakura feeling up Lee? NaruGaara moments?

On the other, STUPID VILLAINS AND NON-LOGIC AND INO BEING USELESS.

I...I don't know what to do. :(

[askerian]

Nah, frankly it's useless and nothing really happens, they're just wasting time to fill another episode. Kakashi just stands in front of Tsunade's desk as she plays exposition lady, and the narugaa moments are drawn like someone stuck a pen up his ass and tried sitting on the page. ~__~ Okay, maybe not that bad, but.

[des-butterfly.livejournal.com]

booh. :(

[askerian]

There are maybe five interesting scenes but they last like thirty seconds each and the rest of the time it drags on and on. =__=

I could send the ep to you if you want it anyway, but I'm not sure how long that would last over AIM. I'd think it would almost be faster over bittorrent.

[fleur-de-laie.livejournal.com]

For filler eps? Don't bother. I just Youtube those things anyway. XD

Uh...crap, I'm in the wrong journal, aren't I? XD

[askerian]

*snerk* it's okay. I SEE YOU. Nice screen name. XD

[des-butterfly.livejournal.com]

hahaha my french is le suck, oui? XD

I think everyone was having fun with puns, really.

But man is it ever a pain in the ass to switch between journals.

[askerian]

It's correct here at least ^^ And screen-name puns are the best part of RP journals.

I think firefox has a widget for that? But I don't use firefox, so I don't really know. I could ask my friend for a link if you want to try it.

[fleur-de-laie.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. ^^

^__^

[des-butterfly.livejournal.com]

eeee! thank you, you are awesome. *__*

[askerian]

Bah, I was chatting with the gal and she keeps going all "ahhh I love my widget for my bazilion journals", so hey. XD It truly does sound awesome, and if i wasn't so lazy I would so shift over to firefox. Alas. *lazy* Have fun with it. XD

[rayemars.livejournal.com]

. . . Why do you do this to yourself?

[askerian]

I like pain am very, very bored? .___.

[ktoth04.livejournal.com]

omg by the time we get out of fillers i will have caught up on fillers! *glares at 202-219 hoping they will disappear*

[askerian]

why did you catch up, whyyyy. XD i suffered so y'all wouldn't have to. XDD;;;;

[ktoth04.livejournal.com]

well, i sorta wanted to

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FILLERS NONSTOP FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS

*sobs*

[askerian]

o-omg. MY POOR HONEY *petpetsoothelove* ;_______;

[ktoth04.livejournal.com]

*is petted*

its ok, non-filler bleach soothes my broken brain

[askerian]

Bah, I thought the art kind of sucked in those latest bleach eps. T_T But then the art is very hard to translate to anime form. T_T

[ktoth04.livejournal.com]

bu there is like plot! err sorta

and pretty creepy... but plot! from the manga!

[mikkeneko.livejournal.com]

I love NaruGaa and LeeSaku. And TemaShika. But I'm too lazy to do anything about it :)

[askerian]

*snort* XD One day i'll make you write me something for it.

In the meantime, you are allowed to write more Sciezka. And Ed/Al/Hei/Roy. >_>;;;

[askerian]

Uh, not really, Sakura was healing Lee and being all "now you're not allowed to fight anymore" and he was all "let me fight to save gaara plz!" and that's pretty much it. Then we only see him a second toward the end. ;_;

[askerian]

*petpetloves* ;_;

[jmercedesd.livejournal.com]

Wait wait wait.... The new season starts on episode 220, NOT 230??? O.o *squeals and keels over*

I stopped watching the filler eps at episode 170-something. XD I couldn't take the pain. Bleach, DeathNote, D. GreyMan... oh yeah, those take up the space nicely. ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

[askerian]

Yay for entertaining commentary on bad filler!


Can I stop lurking and friend you properly? >.>;

[askerian]

Heh. That's prety much the only thing to do with filler. XD;;

Sure! ^o^~ *does yay!friended dance*

[phoenix-melody.livejournal.com]

...that is an adorable icon. *dies of cuteness*

*friends!*

[askerian]

Thankee -- AHH LITTLE HEDGEHOG. O.O *flails from cute*

DDDD: ! *friended!* *LE GASP*

[lef.livejournal.com]

Seimei's voice actually reminded me of the voice used for Deidara and the other akatsuki members (remember the virtual akatsuki gathering at the end of part one?). Except it wasn't all weird and distorted.

[askerian]

Really? It's been so long I don't remember Deidara's voice. x_x Quite possible that they would be reusing voice actors, though. I'll check it out. ^__^ And if they didn't use him before, I wouldn't mind if they kept him for some other villain. The acting was a little stiff at time, but nothing a little practice wouldn't fix, hopefully.

[smexykitsune.livejournal.com]

Umm, maybe I missed something in all the fillers, because I didn't watch all of them, but Lee doesn't have chakra right? Because when he and Naruto are fighting the guy with the armour that sucks chakra from you, Lee says "We can't use our regular techniques on him" or something like that. But if Lee has no chakra and is a taijutsu master, shouldn't he have kicked the guys butt? If I'm wrong about Lee then I apologize for the post.

[askerian]

Hmmm. The thing with Lee is that he can't use his chakra outside of himself, not really that he doesn't have any. He can use it inside, which is how he uses the gates to reinforce himself, and every living being probably has some chakra, but he has like a disability that doesn't let him mold and use it. I think he can stick to walls and trees because he's touching them and it's really just a matter of pushing your chakra through, and in part 2 we see him walk on water so he must have learned to do the same trick, just a little more, but he can't mold it and make something out of it.

So basically stealing his chakra would weaken his limbs, and since he fights bare-handed, he had to touch the guy... Lee should still have kicked that guy's butt. =__= It was kinda stupidly handled, or many the dialogue was weird or something, but I did think it didn't really work the way they were saying. But then the filler people seem to have very weird idea of the way a jutsu works. ~__~

lee has chakra, he just doesn't know how/has no talent to use it for genjutsu or ninjutsu. to clarify a bit more of the having chakra part just think of the 2nd part of the chunin exam where it's lee vs gaara and kakashi is explaining about the Gates

[nothri.livejournal.com]

Well, my understanding runs something like this: A person's chakra is somewhat akin to a lifeforce. Think of it like calories or oxygen. If you work harder, your body burns more of its energy, and the muscles become slowly weaker until they get some rest. Chakra seems to put a similar strain on your body the way heavy lifting does. Witness Kakashi, who faints after using up his chakra against Zabuza and has to rest for days to recover. I imagine the more chakra that gets burned in your system, the greater the strain is placed on your body. To use the show's terminology, the more chakra you use the harder it is on your stamina. You become more tired, your reactions slow, and exertion becomes more painful. So something that steals chakra should affect someone the same way that using it up in a jutsu does.

That said, Rock Lee should be the least affected by this dude's technique. He uses the least chakra in his attacks. In fact, he's built himself around being physically capable of taking more punishment and damage than other people. Plus is taijutsu techniques are designed to inflict the most damage possible while using the least chakra possible. Really, he should have made short work of that guy.
