I miss naruto :(. I hope we see him, and sakura next chapter. I like lee, and gai though., and the others. is kishi TRYING to loose fans so that he can rush off to his next manga?. geez I've about had it with the manga.atleast the anime's done by someoneelse [studio pirate?], and not kishislowpoke[lol]. anyways. hi I'm new here to the forums.
You lose all credability when you consider the Anime better than the Manga, Their fillers (basically story arcs that Kishi didn't write) are some of the worst from all the animes out there, and that's with an entire team of writers responsible for the story, Kishi has to churn out a chapter a week, and it's laregely himself with the help of his Producer. That's 42 odd chapters a year he has to write and draw a year. Honestly Studio Pierot or whatever they are called are a real mix bag, after seeing how the handled Hinata's episode and Naruto going eight tails during the Pain Invasion I've barely ever watched it. I can't forgive them for making Hinata into a bullied girl in school, or the animation during the Pain v eight tails Naruto.
This chapter wasn't too bad it actually went a long way to explain Gai's eternal optimism, his rivalry with Kakashi and even his history with the swordmen...He deserves atleast one chapter of flashback. It wasn't very interesting to watch but it explains Gai's behaviour.
