We get more fillers, a bit mixed with canon and funny moments from our characters!

It still took me a while to get used to the new OP, which is meant to portray the characters in a funny, awkward way. Love the song, though.

Episode 235 "The Kunoichi of Nadeshiko Village" (撫子のくノ一) November 3, 2011

Episode 236 "Companions' Backs"(仲間の背中) November 10, 2011

Episode 237 "Ah, My Longed-For Lady Tsunade" (ああ、憧れの綱手様) November 17, 2011

Episode 238 "Sai's Rest" (サイの休息) November 24, 2011


So, this is from the results of last month's Superpoll of the Month, in which readers were asked:

If your life was an anime series, what series it would be?

With 402 votes, Naruto came out on top with 104 votes, followed closely by Bleach with 90 votes, and curiously enough, Blue Exorcist has 77 votes, despite being a new series, while the other two have been running for a decade.

Well, we've all seen Naruto's struggles, solitude and alienation and his humanity, his failures, his ticks are all what make us care for him deeply and root for him to be the village's hero.

I initially thought that One Piece would win hands down due to its popularity, but it is quite there with Full Metal Alchemist, Fairy Tail, and Soul Eater.

Kuroshitsuji and Gintama came in the same place. And Death Note deserves a special mention with 50 votes, (who doesn't identify with either L-kun or Kira-sama?)

It's still interesting to note that a classic series like Dragon Ball didn't garner more votes, with even D.Grayman getting 8 more votes.

Naruto's sea adventures continue! Fillerology mixed with canon!
 To be honest, some of these episodes have been bizarre but good. 

Episode 230 "Revenge of the Shadow Clones" (影の逆襲) September 29, 2011 <---- should this have been the title of Star Wars Episode 2, instead of Attack of the Clones?? O_O

Episode 231 "The Closed Sea Route" (閉ざされた航路) October 6, 2011

Episode 232 "The Leaf Village Girls-Only Club" (木ノ葉の女子会) October 13, 2011

Episode 233 "Enter Imposter Naruto?" (参上 嘘?ナルト) October 20, 2011

Episode 234 "Naruto's Favorite Pupil" (ナルトの愛弟子) October 27, 2011

These fillers so far have been funny and well written, it seems they will keep mixing it up with the manga storyline. Naruto will face challenges as he gets to the island that the Toad Sage prophetized!

Episode 227 "The Forgotten Island" (忘却の島) September 1, 2011
Episode 228 "Fight, Rock Lee" (闘えロックリー) September 8, 2011

(to be updated further)

Tsunade recovered and Kakashi is glad to not have to take the mantle as Hokage. Naruto will take on Sasuke himself. The prophecy has been placed by the Great Toad Sage. However, what we will get this month is pirate fillerology!

Episode 223 "The Young Man and the Sea" (青年と海) August 4, 2011

Episode 224 "The Merchant Ninja of Venice" (紅州の商忍) August 11, 2011

Naruto Shippuden May schedule!

Posted by mickung
The fight between Danzo and Sasuke, one of the best depicted in the anime in my opinion, continues and it makes you wonder if this is all a setup by Madara? Naruto needs to settle his mind and Sakura wants to kill Sasuke herself before he goes deeper and deeper in his path of darkness.

Episode 210 "The Forbidden Visual Jutsu" (禁じられた瞳術) May 5, 2011


Episode 211 "Danzo Shimura" (志村ダンゾウ) May 12, 2011


Episode 212 "Sakura's Resolve" (サクラの覚悟) May 19, 2011


Episode 213 "Lost Bonds" (失われた絆) May 26, 2011

It seems the fillers will be finally over, though there still remains to be confirmed whether we will get a two hour special on February 10?

But we're looking forward to some interesting developments for Sai and his boss Danzo!

197- The Sixth Hokage Danzo" "Rokudaime Hokage Danzō" (六代目火影ダンゾウ) February 10, 2011
198- TBA February 10, 2011
199- Enter the Five Kage "Gokage Tōjō" (五影登場) February 17, 2011
200- Naruto's Appeal "Naruto no Kongan" (ナルトの懇願) February 24, 2011

If there's a complex, level-headed and cool character in Naruto, it's none other than Kakashi-sensei.

The son of Hatake Hakumo, the White Fang, he was always angst-ridden and pointed at by the people of Konoha over the fact that his father chose to help his friends instead of carrying out the mission succesfully.

He was a prodigy shinobi from an early age, always obsessed with doing things the right way, that meaning merely 'being a killing tool', which was what ninjas were originally meant to be.

Until he met his teammates Rin and Uchiha Obito. Obito, his dying partner that transferred his remaining sharingan eye to him, is the one that first said these famous words:

"Those that break the rules and regulations are scum. But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum"

Through the series, we see how Kakashi changes his vision of life and the world, a transition from the old era of ninjas, from the cycle of never ending wars and hatred, to a more human one, and that is also through his disciples Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto (Team 7).

Kakashi-sensei also has a funny side, always arriving late to meetings, and reading the soft porn novels written by Jiraiya (Icha Icha tactics) in his free time, which means he's also a 'closet' perv ^_^

I don't think we will get to ever see his face without the mask, yet the episode with Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke trying to find out is one the classic moments in the series.


The Pain saga ended with an interesting twist and it was awesome as we finally saw Naruto being recognized by his village.

Looks like we are going to deal with fillers and one week delay without our favorite series due to a Pokemon Black and White special airing in the same slot.

But they're pre-time skip fillers related to what just happened in the last episodes, developing Iruka-sensei's character, so they will be great this time, bringing back the nostalgia of the good ol' Naruto days!

September 2 - Iruka the Novice Teacher

September 9 - Iruka's trials

September 16 - Iruka's determination

September 23 - no episode

September 30
- Jounin in charge Hatake Kakashi
