[Big Dude]

I'm watching Naruto on Cartoon Network.

I actually just started watching it... downloaded subs mind you. I'd get too impatient waiting for a new episode every week on tv, especially with a long one like this. I also only have a nice thing called an antenna that gets me a glorious 4 local channels.

However, all these people that praise Naruto should have a rock thrown in their face. When I first started with this series (I started with the manga first) I was expecting something so dynamic, and yet I get another average anime.

I get where you're coming from saying that this really isn't what its hyped up to be. From what I've seen so far, its like DragonBall but with ninjas. Although, some of the animation for the some of the fight scenes are pretty good.

I'm also currently watching Bleach. I like it far more so far than Naruto, but there is (feels like it anyway) a huge slowdown in every aspect of it right now. Hopefully it'll pick up again, but I'll continue to watch it anyway.

Another one I just picked up was Karas. More specifically, Karas: the Revelations, vol.2 of a two part series. I think it was originally a 6 part OVA, but for the release in North America they made it a two part movie.

They did a stunning job of mixing CG animation and regular animation. Thats what really grabbed me. The story is also very intriguing, but at times hard to follow. Kinda reminded me of when I was watching Soul Taker, where I kinda knew what was going on but was still thinking "what the heck's going on?" Karas just leaves you wanting more.
