[quote name='Madara Eternal Mangekyo']The Naruto anime has not been the same since episode 165. The new animation is an abomination and the animations just don't live up to their manga counterparts. The old animation succeeded in this much better, the new animation is limited and revolting.
I still watch the anime, however, I have been hoping since the despair I experienced during episode 166 and 167 that they would learn and fix it. Hasn't happened and I doubt it will soon either. The anime looks more like a cheap and cheesy American cartoon rather than actual anime.[/QUOTE]
Damn dude. So harsh about American Cartoons. They are all that bad, I mean look at The Last Airbender. That was actually a good animation team. (Cant wait for the next season)
Now I stopped watching Shippuden way back before FRS was introduced. I was getting tired of it and then it was more apparent that I made a good choice when they did all those fillers. I think it was 137 in the original series that concluded the VOTE fight which saw a neverending year long stretch of fillers, that was when Naruto anime lost its appeal for me. *shudders*
