Just poking fun at the series, at 4am. 'Cause everything is funnier when you're sleep deprived. Seriously.

Naruto: I’m bringing you back to Konoha, Sasuke!
Sasuke: Aren’t you supposed to be Hokage by now?
Naruto: Aren’t you supposed to be swimming in a sea of your own angst?
Sasuke: No seriously, 3,236,347,894,333 episodes ago, I could’ve sworn that you said you were going to be hokage...

Naruto: *bleeding* Why are you so screwed up?
Sasuke: 'Cause it’s the type of stuff that brings, thinly planned, poorly executed, shitty yaoi fanfiction to life. Deal with it.
This is madness!
No, this is FILLER!
It's a cold hard fact that we manga and anime fans have to face; too many fillers! I had never really experienced or understood the term 'filler' until I first saw Naruto. I knew something wasn't right when the series was going into episode 214 and wasn't going anywhere. I mean come on, is Sakura in a nurses' outfit? That isn't going to bring Sasuke back to the village! [As little libido as Sasuke has; I wouldn't doubt that reality for a second.]
I'm not fond fillers; if a person is going to spend hours upon hours of creating anime/manga brilliance, why spend it on complete nonsense? As an anime fan, I love watching as new plotlines and vital characters are revealed with beautiful detail and skill. So it's no surprise that Death Note is one of my favorite anime. I'm just addicted to how wonderfully made it was; even if I didn't like the outcome and the fate of its characters.
With Inuyasha, it's a different story. I loved the series until it descended into filler hell. Every episode began to fall into a predictable pattern, one that I now snicker at when ever I catch it. This is basically how every episode goes:
Kagome senses a jewel shard; they gang looks for the shard and surprisingly discovers a village. [Those things must be every where…] An old villager, roughly 200 years old pleas for Inuyasha to help their village for a monster is attacking it.
Inuyasha doesn't want to help, but for some inexplicably reason: he does.
Suddenly, the monster attacks without the group having to search for it! Miroku, Sango and, Inuyasha try to kill it; but are at first unsuccessful. And then what interesting plot change occurs... Kagome gets kidnapped! Oh the suspense!
Now only that, but she is almost never injured; and if she is, the episode has to revolve around it. Now, the Inu-gang is searching for their plot, I mean Kagome... and they find them. Kagome, unscathed and hair still in tact *growls* just sits as the whole gang gets their ass kicked. [She might toss an arrow every once in a while…]
And then! Inuyasha finds some clever way to destroy the monster, saves the perfectly uninjured Kagome, Miroku's a pervert, Sango blushes, Inuyasha claims that he in a million years would never love Kagome, and Shippo still doesn't know why he tags along anymore. [No seriously, is Shippo even an important character, you know, other than for cuteness purposes?]
I'm just stating that Inuyasha is a great anime; I would just like to see it go somewhere...
That's why I prefer shorter anime series… like Cowboy Bebop; classic 26 episodes of awesomeness. There was one really noticeable filler; the episode when that zombie lobster from the refrigerator resurfaced from the third shelf and decided to bite everyone. It was an entertaining, funny episode; one of my favorites actually. [It wasn't stupid like, Naruto on a quest given my Tsunade to retrieve a flippin' insect!] Dragon ball Z was different though. I wasn't filler hell, it just... took a while... I mean the Buu saga lasted like 100+ episodes... it was a pink blob! Light it on fire! [Bubblegum shouldn't give off smoke!] However; every episode was entertaining, and the fillers mainly popped up during the Cell saga when Gohan was 'training' outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Goku.
There was once a time where I was ignorant to the fact the American dubs suck horribly; then I started looking that the original subbed versions of anime like Yu-Gi-Oh and Death Note. Believe it or not, Yu-Gi-Oh is an excellent anime. Yes, I said it! The Japanese version of it didn’t have so many tedious, corny friendship references and the characters were little more realistic. Yugi in the very first episode of the show clarified his affections for Tea; and Seto Kaiba wasn’t a complete ass to everyone and wasn’t so ‘How dare you insult my multi-billion dollar company---I’m rich biatch!’ In fact, he actually had great philosophies and was a well-rounded character.
What is so wrong with America that they can’t portray believable and gut wrenching emotion when ever they dub something? I was watching Death Note, the dubbed version [I know, bad move---I’ll kill myself later.] The voices are all wrong! *Cries* Dude! Why does Light sound freaking happy? He’s creating a new world, not giving cookies to little children on Christmas!
And Mikami’s English voice when he goes totally insane with the word ‘Delete’, it sounded so hilarious! I began to wonder; is he writing down the names onto the paper, or raping himself? O_o
“Delete! Delete! Delete! DELETEEEEEEE!!!!!!!”
I simply believe that America should discontinue dubbing anime altogether, that is, unless they can start doing it right. I only like a select few dubs; Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Neon Genesis Evangalion, Cowboy Bebop, and Wolf’s Rain It is my dream to turn on the television and watch the subbed version of my favorite anime on common channels. I mean, come on! How hard is it to read a couple of subtitles? No wonder this country is so laid back; everything is made so easy for its inhabitants.
But the worst dub I’ve ever witnessed with the 4-kids version of One Piece. I actually disliked One Piece because I thought that it was stupid, and overdone. But when I started watching the subbed version, it grew on me very quickly.
But hey, I heard FUNimation is planning on re-dubbing it; so maybe there is some hope left. XD
Naruto is not even getting a real mention because everyone knows that dub sucks too. [lol]
