Heh I have a Naruto Obsession myself. I LOVEthe series and have an odd obsession with many of the Akatsuki members... u_u0 and a fierce hatred to the member that killed you-know-who. It made me cry.

Right now I'm shaking with nerves due to the last update and that the next shippuuden episode won't air until next week...argh! And Tobi's going to be making his appearence soon too! Oh, and I am a firm disbeliver of the Tobito theory. I think he's more likely to either be the other guy, or Tobi.

I've only just watched past the chuunin exam of the anime series but I'd say people like it because of the characters and the depth of personality they each have. The fights are entertaining as well, its like 'woah, crazy shit' type reaction you get from it, sorta like the whole dragonball Z super saiyan thing.

Sadly I'm one of the people who starting reading it after it started to get popular, and that was because I was and still am obsessed with ninjas. But I didn't know how popular it was when I started...HONEST!
I still like it, though it's a rising falling pattern, and the reason is because of the characters...and the story does have a hold on me. I mostly read the manga however...I only watch the subbed version, since the english dub gets on my nerves. (Thank you 4kids... >.>)
And sometimes I may get a little fan crazy, but that's because I'm the only one in my group of friends who reads it...so I tend to explode.

it ain't a dumb cartoon its actually pretty good everyone has there own opinions so yeah

i love all manga and anime and dont have a go at people because they like something i dont

believe it

I know I think jihriah will lose but you never know. >_< I can't wait for the next chapter! I want tobi to show up again, so far he hasn't done anything at all..

A lot of people die in the series xD
it's actually kinda sad. all the cool characters come in for a bit and then die. Hidan and kukuzu i could care less for but I like sasori and deidera. :0

yeah thats one thing i'm still pondering. I hope he doesn't die because he is awesome! but most likely he will because he is a bad guy and they must all die adventually. I can't belive the fight between him and sasuke is almost starting! it seems kinda early, don't cha think?

Spoiler:
well, no.
They met in a cave and itachi said: lets finish this at the uchiha something, I froget what. so it's coming soon.

I'm really expecting Sasuke to die.

I'm so relieved that Gaara had his "death" already.... ah... that boy. <3

How do you guys feel about Sai? I'm personally a huge fan of Sai-- he's just too funny! But I know a lot of people don't like him for some reason or another.

he's weird o_O

Eee...I bet the next chapter will be the brother fight... just so we can continue to freak out about the teacher vs. student battle going on....
Hey do you think "God's Angelic Messenger" is like Sasori only made out of paper? It seems like the god wannabe might have done something.... heh heh I'm a supporter of that pairing... >.>

God I wonder what Tobi will sound like...childish or not... I quiver with anticipation!

...And Sai kind of freaks me out.....with his Obsession you know. r_r0

I don't think sasuke will die. Itachi is kinda iffy. Rock lee NEEDS to die! xD

Konan is human, she just uses a paper based jutsu.

Shippuden is way better than the original series my my opinion. I'm not all for the anime but I love the manga :3
Sai and Minato are my favourite Characters :D
I'm not a big fan of Sasuke. Spoilers Up Ahead.

Spoilers:
Well what did you think of the 4th being Naruto's father, or about Tobi having a sharingan? Or that you actually see pain xD
In my opinion of the Jiraya Fight, is that he is going to get badly hurt.
Also I have a theory that tobi is in obito's body (the bolts and that on his body) and the mind of madara (the jutsu's, sharingan and he is mature and knows who Sasuke is).
End Spoiler*

Anyways shippuden is great and I hope it does not get dubbed. xD

you got a point there :O maybe that IS the secret of tobi! xD wonderful.

that make so much referance to madara he must come adventually. even the kyuubi knows him.

I like your signature, Mizukage!

Ah... Sai. Seriously, he just cracks me up so much. I'm so glad you like him, too, Devi!

I find it so funny that Iruka's still in the opening and he hasn't done anything at all! I mean, I adore Iruka, but it just amuses me that he's still a "main" character. Shippuden's opening is the best one so far, too, I think. <3 Though Wind will always be my favorite closing.

Okay, that's enough fangirling, I think. lol

the shippuuden is so cool. the next o ne comes out tomorrow ^_^ XDI can't wait!!! i want to see if gaara lives or not. I think Elder Chiyo does the life transfer jutsu on him. I hope so. XD XD XD XD GAARA!!!!!

much better than older Naruto...I can actualy stand to listen to him now...it's not that hes any more mature...he just seems less whiney...before shipp i hated naruto >_<

Sai is so awsome : D
:p
I like the second op and the third end. :D Sai is in them xD
Iruka, the loveable invisable man, that never shows up for about 50 episodes at a time xD
Anyways, I don't think he is in the new OP.
I love wind, the song is just awsome :3

The third ending is all about Sai and I LOVE it!!! He's just so adorable... <3 I am looking forward to a translation, although I'm sure he's talking about Sakura's forehead and Naruto's penis. XD That guy...

And Iruka-sensei is STILL in the opening. He's standing next to Kakashi in the picture with Tsunade and Jiraya... XD!!!

Eh the new opening was kinda dull, though I do like the new ending. ^_^

Spoiler-ness...

Oh I just finished the new chapter. And are those what I think they are? (last page) O_o Is Jiraiya's big attack....handpuppets? O_O0
End spoiler ness

My favorite ending is wind as well. ^_^ Grr bloody dub only has one ending that I've heard and it's just the 1st opening...again. u_u
