Naruto Shippuden May schedule!

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.

This week's featured AMV: Sai from Naruto

This is great music video dedicated to a great side character from Naruto Shippuden.

Meant to substitute Sasuke, I think he is a proper succesor.

Naruto Shippuden anime December schedule

Better late than never, here's the schedule of this anime for December. It seems we will be getting a new fillerology saga till...well, who knows! O_O

episode 189 "Sasuke's Paw Encyclopedia" (サスケの肉球大全) December 2, 2010 

episode 190 "Naruto and the Old Soldier"  (ナルトと老兵) December 9, 2010 

episode 191 "Kakashi Love Song" (カカシ恋歌) December 16, 2010

episode 192 "Neji Gaiden"  "Neji Gaiden" (ネジ外伝) December 23, 2010


There won't be episode on December 30 due to Holidays.

Hey, at least we get a Neji gaiden special!

Hyuuga Hinata (1)

It's difficult to know what will be her ultimate role in Naruto. Given her personality traits and her resolve, you would think that she actually will have a heroine protagonist role, just like author Masashi Kishimoto stated in an interview this year, but that hasn't happened yet neither in the manga or the anime.

Hinata is the daughter of Hyuuga Hiashi of the Hyuuga clan, formed by those who possess the Byakugan, an eye ninjutsu that enables its user to see everything at at 359° range. 

Byakugan users can also see the chakra points of their enemies, thus developing a close range Palm Fist style of fighting that allows them to close each point, leaving the person unable to mold chakra, either temporarily or indefinitely.

But things hadn't been easy for Hinata. From the very beginning, she was despised by her father for being weak and lacking self-confidence, whereas her little sister Hanabi and her cousin Neji were wayyy better in ninjutsu and fighting. 

Hinata is the heiress of the Main Family and she is meant to be the leader of her clan one day, while Neji forms part of the Branch (inferior) Family, and he is meant to serve and protect the Main Family. Given that his father Hizashi had to be sacrificed in order to protect the secret of the Byakugan, taking his twin brother's (Hiashi) place, Neji developed hate and resentment towards Hinata.

This was revealed when Hinata and Neji had to fight during the Chuunin exams. Neji was considerably stronger and bullied Hinata all the way, at the point of almost hitting her with KI (Killer Intent). This pisses off Naruto, who cheers for Hinata.

But Hinata stood up after receiving all Neji palm fists techniques and says she's sorry for him. She's left badly injured, and Naruto steps to the plate and defies Neji to a duel. There's quite an empathy between Naruto and Hinata, given that they're both seen as losers and underdogs for not being perfect at ninjutsu for their age.

This week's featured AMV (17)

Going along with the Kakashi feature I did yesterday, I found this AMV to be quite well done and touching. It focuses in his relationship with Obito and Rin.




The song is Pieces by Red.

Hatake Kakashi: Calm and collected

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.

Naruto Shippuden anime October schedule

Naruto Shippuden anime September schedule!

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

Thanks to Niko^ from Narutofan forums ^_^
