Of Naruto and Avatar
Couldn't resist doing a blog about them. They're currently by favorite shows since Yu-Gi-Oh! and G Gundum aren't on anyomore. Or at least they're over. Again, no promises about the frequency of my coming. Anyways, here we go.
Naruto:
WARNING!! Spoilers for those who haven't seen all the current English dub episodes. Also, anyone who knows what's going to happen DON'T TELL ME! Don't put down my little theories and don't even hint. I want complete surprises people! I've avoided spoilers successfully so far and if you give anything away, I'll....hurt you...somehow.
Okay so currently my favorite episodes are
- The Haku vs. Naruto and Sasuke episodes (where Sasuke "dies")
- The Forest of Death episodes especially Orochimaru's first appearance (the non-official one where Sasuke throws up)
- Last Saturday's one with Gaara
We'll start with number 1. I love those episodes mainly because of the interactions between Sasuke and Naruto. It's SO refreshing to see them being nice to each other. Like when Naruto gets knocked back down for the millionth time you don't hear Sasuke making fun of him or anything, he's actually concerned about him. They make great team mates when it all comes down to it. And I almost cried when Sasuke "died" because it was so sad! He actually said (not in so many words, of course, because Sasuke doesn't talk) that he believed Naruto could follow through with his dream to become Hokage. It was so nice! I'd like to see more of that side of Sasuke. I wouldn't mind them focusing on him so much if he would act like that more often.
Number 2 I love because they focus on all of them: Naruto, Sasuke, AND Sakura. They all have their time in the spotlight. AND we get to see a second appearance of the Nine Tailed Fox's chakra melding with Naruto's. My favorite line from those episodes is when Naruto saves Sasuke's sorry but AGAIN and he says, "Hey, kid. You're not hurt are ya? Scardy cat!" Not only is it totally brilliant because Sasuke said the EXACT same thing to him, but it's like Naruto and the Nine Tailed Fox saying it together (as indicated--I think--by him calling Sasuke kid.) I like the part where Orochimaru comes in because Sasuke throws up. Before you get totally grossed out at me, I'll explain. Up until that point, Sasuke was great at everything (except...you know, being civil and NICE!!!!), but then he gets scared and suddenly he's not so perfect anymore. There's actually something that Sasuke's not good at: dealing with fear. It makes him more likable as a character AND it makes him more...human, I guess. Love it love it love it! I also love them making Sakura grow up but I don't have anything to say on that that's not obvious so I'll just leave it there. But I do want to say that Lee and her are so TOTALLY PERFECT!!! OH, and I think that Sasuke should start wearing his ninja band on his arm because his hair looks so awesome when he doesn' thave the head band on. *sigh* *GASP!* NO! I WILL NOT BE A SASUKE FAUNER OVER...ER!!! Whatever...YA NARUTO! WHOOO!
And finally 3; I didn't like it for the reason that most people do. That reason being that they are totally bonkers for Gaara. I like Gaara, he's an awesome psycho character (and you gotta love them for the drama and angst they create) but I'm not nuts about him or anything. But I don't really fully understand that episode at the same time. Why would Yashamaru spend so much time being nice and loving towards Gaara if he was just going to try and kill him? It's so sad! I nearly cried when Gaara was offering that medicine to the little girl and she slammed the door in his face. It doesn't get any more tragic than that, people. 
Things I'm looking forward to in Naruto: Orochimaru finally dying. I mean COME ON! JUST LET IT GO!! But I doubt he will. I think that he's going to live and kill the Third Hokage. POOR KONAHAMARU!!!! Um...Itatchi finally making a real appearance. I totally know he's gonna. They wouldn't talk about him so much if he wasn't. I wonder what kind of bad guy he'll be! *squeal* So looking forward to it. I'm willing to endure them focusing on Sasuke for the sake of a new villain. I'm also looking forward to....okay, I got nothing else.

Okay, since this is so long already I'm only going to talk about the last episode of season 2.
NOOOOOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO!!! ZUKO CAN'T BE EVIL!!! All that work! All the progress! All for NOTHING!!! Over the course of the show he's taken so many steps forward, and he just took DOUBLE the amount back! They totally killed the Zutara moment! Although, I'd just like to say, it still stands! That was a million times more cute and sensetive than ANYTHING Kataang has EVER produced! They have common ground! I'M SO EXCITED!! AAAAH!! *hyperventalation* Anyways, I'm confident that someone (ANYONE PLEASE!!!) will make Zuko see the error in his decision. I mean, he couldn't possibly be that stupid to think that his father would take him back, could he?! It's totally out of character, but I can't think of any other possibility! What is going on in that gorgeous head of yours Zuko?! I thought the whole cheerful thing he was doing at the beginning was REALLY creepy, but his hair is amazing. *sigh*
Alright that's all. Hope you enjoyed the parts you could bear to read without falling asleep.

Hey, everyone, it's me Ella. You probably know all about me from either tv.com or gamespot.com, but I suppose I'll put the basics here for the people who don't. I like singing, dancing, reading, writing, playing my guitar, and listening to music. My favorite artists are Averil Lavigne, Yellow Card, Sum 41, All American Rejects, and Fall Out Boy. See ya around.

That said, yeah Ella - you should probably avoid blogs referring to Shippuuden
So I will refrain from any spoiler talk
Avatar... well I said this awhile back, but I do not think Zuko has "gone evil". I think his character is too complex to be easily swayed and I feel this was a way for him to try and find his own path.. not his father's.. not his uncle's. I do not think for a second that he trusts Azula. If it turns out I'm wrong, I will be serious PO'd at the writers for making him out to be a doofus.
AS far as that shipping crud goes.. I'm not into that at all.
Orochimaru is such a jerk. I love how they keep putting little flashes of him and Sarutobi in there just to be like "They're still fighting. Orochimaru's still a son of a you-know-what, and the Third Hokage's still hanging in there...for now." Drr! It makes me so mad! I WISH THEY'D JUST SETTLE IT ALREADY!!!
Noelia, I love you even though you don't love Naruto. :-P
So I guess what I mean is have fun supporting whatever you wish and I'm not going to shoot down your ideas especially since it's what makes you happy.
As for Avatar, I'm only on like episode 16. I don't mind spoilers in that one though. My friends tell me that the later episodes are better, and I hope they're right, because from what I've seen, I think it's a tad overrated. I still think it's really good, but... maybe not so much as it's made out to be. They can't keep a conflict going for more than 7 minutes of an episode, so any chracter development that Aang (and Sokka, too, for that matter) gets disappears by the end of the episode! The only ones changing at all are Zuko (ever so slightly) and Katara (and thats mostly just waterbending). I need to see more episodes.
