Naruto 127-130 - I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

[timepiececlock]

Although my poll results suggested I should watch Last Exile, I finally finished downloading the Naruto movie and watched that, so it left me in a Naruto mood, and I'm catching up.

Just finished 127-128.

Sasuke, you little shithead. Usings that stupid wire & flame thing against my babyninja?! You little shithead.

::sigh:: I suppose next episode is gonna be all about chibiSasuke angst, isn't it? Maybe I'll skip it.

I am digging the music being used for this whole confrontation, though. And the animation is pretty good too.

Hheee. And the "next episode" clip was kind of cute.


EDIT#1: One more thought, halfway into #130. I need a good pre-Akatsuki!Itachi icon that says "Itachy's life philosophy: self improvement through patricide."

EDIT#2: Also, Sasuke's lucky he looks like his mom. Cause Itachi and PapaUchiha aren't that shiny to look at.


EDIT#3: You know, hearing that Itachi graduated at age 7, could use the sharingan at age 8, became a chuunin at age 10, and an ANBU at 12...doesn't really seem right, if he'd only been an ANBU for a little while before things started to go downhill fast. At least not in terms of how they animated it. He looks about 15-16 in these flashbacks, maybe even 17.

And, you know, chuunin with the sharingan at 10 is cool, but it's not as cool as chuunin at 6 without a sharingan.

Yeah... Kakashi rocks. I can't wait till the next manga chapter comes out so Kakashi can rip him a big one.

EDIT#4: Someone should sit Sasuke down and tell him how disappointed his dad would be in his recent life-changing decisions.

As they say in Midworld, Sasuke has forgotten the face of his father.

GitS: SAC is one that I take an episode at a time. I love looking at the animation and the music is fantastic, plus, I can multi-task when I'm watching the DVD as the dub is excellent. Something I like to watch when I'm in the mood, but as for being as involved in the storyline and characters like FMA? Oh, hell no.

I agree the music is quality. I especially like the ending theme song. I'm amazed by how Yoko Kanno is Japanese but she can write these songs in English with lyrics that sound like they're coming from someone who's not only fluent in English-- but poetically fluent. There's such a difference between understanding a foreign language and being able to write creatively with it.
