thistlechaserSo tired this morning, even though I slept a good six hours. I had another Naruto dream last night: In it Shikamaru actually had a secret bloodline move/technique/whatever (something besides being easily bored). He could see X seconds into the future (5, 10, 15, it varied). He was a really nice fellow, though it was hard to talk to him because all he wanted to do was lounge around and nap. He kept trying to wave me off, hee.
I downloaded and watched this week's double-ep (which was just that, so yay for not having 30 minutes of recap). I hadn't intended to watch it, I wanted to save it for tonight so I'd have something new to see, but I ended up watching it by mistake. I had intended just to check it to see if it was half-recap like the last hour special, but when I saw it was new stuff, I couldn't turn it off.
Boy, did a lot of stuff happen! Even though I didn't understand more than a couple words, I could follow the storyline pretty well. (Though there are parts I'm still curious about, like what Shikamaru and Naruto were talking about on the stairs after Gaara killed those two guys.
Eee! Wow! Looks like a war is starting! That whole feather thing looked really, really cool, too. I wonder why some people weren't affected by it? The more experienced people I can sort of understand, but why did Sakura stay awake?
Did you notice that the kid/teen characters look older? And wow, Sasuke is still sort of boring, isn't he? He seemed to have so much potential in the beginning, but I've really cooled down on him.
I'm tempted to start reading the manga, as it's way way way ahead in the storyline, but I'm resisting. I want to learn the story through the animation, not boring static drawings.
Since I'm once more out of new things to watch, I downloaded some Read or Die (or is it Read or Die TV? I forget). I'm not sure if I'll like it or not, but a few folks have recommended it so I'll try it out. (Yes, I still have some things I haven't watched, like Go and Trigun and X and some other stuff, but I want a new series like Naruto or Prince of Tennis -- something I can be totally obsessed with for a while.
And speaking of TeniPuri, *sniff* it's hard to stay into it when there's such a delay between eps. Plus I have a 15 ep gap between the end of the subbed ones that I saw, and the raw ones currently being put out, so watching raws is pretty silly for me.
I'm pondering One Piece. I've been sort of wary about the series (the main character is made of rubber???), but people like it and it has tons of eps, so it's worth considering...
And I realized something this morning: I just got caught up with my CD burning last weekend, but now I have to do 60+ eps of Naruto. Heh. I've gone through almost 150 blank CDs, and amazingly my 200 CD holder binder is almost full! I thought I'd never, ever fill it up. (Darned Whistle eps would only fit 3/CD, as opposed to the usual 4-5/CD.) Going to have to buy more blanks and another binder soon.
Oh! And I found out that "Kiba" means "Fang", so it fits both the Wolf's Rain character as well as the Naruto one.

You might not understand it so well without having seen the OAV, however, and the main characters start off rather stereotypical and ditzy. Plus, if you end up not liking it, it might turn you off of Read or Die, which would be a real shame.
