Ok, before any fans of the show are offended, let me just put this out there; we're fans of Naruto, too. Fans of the manga, really. I have better things to do with my half hours than watch an anime that suffers from Dragonballitis. XD Edit- Ok, since some have asked; what is 'Dragonballitis'? Dragonball, especially Z, was a weekly comic and so was the anime which equates to a lot padding. Face reaction shots, repeated fight scenes, lots of dialoge... padding. Why I like the manga over the anime is that I have control of the pacing while I read it. No padding. -Robert DeJesus
