I can't wait for Naruto 482 to come out! I am so obsessed with Naruto. (Why am I such a nerd?)
I think I'm going to resubscribe to Shonen Jump.
Although, as soon as there's a Naruto Shippuuden English Dub 27/28,
I'll be happy also.
It's strange to follow the story in the manga vs. the anime. There's a lot more plot to be covered in the anime. There are a lot of characters that just get thrown away with no explanation.
I suppose the main essence of Naruto is the teaching aspect - the relationships between Naruto and Jiraya, and Naruto and Kakashi are the best.
Second to the teaching element, the drama with Sasuke and Naruto is a pretty addictive one.
There's a Deviantart fan-pic of Naruto stabbing Sasuke and Sasuke stabbing Naruto with a smile. It sort of sums up where the series is headed.
I feel like there needs to be more romance in Naruto, but I don't know if the author can really handle that type of storytelling. Naruto isn't so nuanced with characters, like in Inuyasha, where Kagome has conflict with Kikyo over Inuyasha's affection.
And there are so many people who want Naruto to make out with Hinata, or Naruto to make out with Sakura, or Sasuke to make out with Sakura, or even a gay Naruto to make out with Sasuke. So, jangle your keys at that one, fans.
Speaking of which, I want to buy a Naruto keychain soon.
