    Ah! So it is a totally useless pile of bull. That's okay, I'm game. Although, I probably can't say much. I've never watched Naruto regulary to claim it's a horrible show- I can only point out my views on how Avatar would be the best show to watch. Sorry, Naruto isn't at all my thing. The main character's voice is...er...annoying. *cringe* And the point gets really boring when dragged out.

    Again, I can't say much, as I grew bored of it when I continued- it just never grabbed me into it. Sorry, guys.

    P.S. You can come up with a better excuse than that by now. I mean, c'mon. We're worse than a hive of yellow jackets when we're kicked around. We love to defend and we'll keep on doing it.
    Two things read manga or watch the japinese version.


    Yeah, I can imagine how the American version completely messes up the original. It may be Japanese overall that doesn't attract me, although my friend is urging me to read the Fruits Baskets magna. I'm already a Wolf's Rain lover, as well as Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed (I'm a canine fanatic, obviously)- but, those are the only ones that caught my attention thus far.

    I've tried thrice to get into Naruto, because a classmate claims it to be sooo amazing. However, I really don't have the interest. I'll try again some other day, but that may as well be a fail, too.

    Don't confuse Nick's stupidity with the show.
    Then don't confuse fillers with the actual Naruto.

    Completely different. If Cartoon Network did some screwy censorship or poor marketing or did what they did with Avatar, I'd be like "Aww, sorry " We accept fillers are part of our show, why can't you accept yours?

    Fillers in Naruto don't count because they're not from the manga. If it's not from the manga, it doesn't count.

    Naruto when cut in half is still twice as long as anything I'm interested in.
    Wtf?
    I'll translate: Naruto is too damn long. You can watch the whole Avatar series in a week, it will take months to sit through all of Naruto.
    Are you guys blind read the freakin manga and also buy the uncut volumes of Naruto they dont cencor nothing.

    There you have it. The benders' chi is used to control the elements. If their chi is cut off, they can't bend. The martial arts associated with each element is merely how they control the element, using their chi. Movements that can be linked to the basic nature of what each element is. Freely moving, hard to contain. That's Ba Gua(sp?), that's Airbending. Flowing with the world, using your own force against yourself(stick your hand flatly in a bucket of water, now slap it, notice a diffence?) That's Tai Chi, that's Waterbending. Forceful, aggressive, yet graceful, that's Northern Shaolin, that's Firebending. Strong, powerful, steadlong, that's Hung Gar, that's Earthbending. Different people have different levels of chi and differetn limits on their bending. But, through training a bender can hone their control and open up a world of new moves and attacks. Still, it's all tied to the martial arts movements. You can't "flick your wrist" and cause a tornado in Avatar, even if you're and Airbender, no more than you can crack your knuckles really fast and blow fire out your ears in Naruto. (There's a few exceptions, breathing fire or gusts of air aren't kung fu, but breating is essential in any physical activity)

    There probably won't be any hyper detailed explaination, because since this is in a land existing in a time comperable to the English thinking they could cure psykosis by drilling holes in your head. Maybe if they fast forward a hundred years or so someone in the Avatar universe would know enough about the body to give an official explaination. Until then, well there you go.

    Don't worry Eman, when a post of yours gets pissed away, I'll quote it for the whole thread to see.
    But we wont even read it.


    That's because you're not actually interested in, or capable of, an intelligent debate.
    Are you talking about yourself...


    Touche.

    Okay. It's a lot better for character development when the characters don't fall in love right away. I'm a NaruSaku supporter and I'm actually glad that she can't take the hint yet. That'd make the relationship rushed. The manga's not even close to being over, so it'd be pointless for them to hook up now.

    Nothing in Naruto is rushed. Everything in Naruto is stretched.
    Good. It's better that way.

    Why, do you enjoy having to dig for your story?

    Let me continue "Naruto Hilarity"

    Tsunade: A ***** that's askin for it, all she does is give orders, drink sake, and is drunk a lot, oh! did I mention of her big jugz.
    Jiraya: A pervert that spies on women and possibly 12 year old girls.
    Asuma: A Smoke Attic and THAT probably led to his death. This teaches a lesson kids: don't smoke or the Akatsuki'll kill ya.
    Iruka: A pedophile that "wants" Naruto
    Gai: A Homosexual but is in love with his own child student.
    (May I continue?)
