Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Suspicions Confirmed

As many of you know, I'm waaaaaay behind on the Naruto Shippuden anime. While I haven't watched it in some time, I have been seeing pictures with summaries on sites like Crunchyroll. Instead of actually wrapping up the series ('cause, you know, the manga's over), they're doing yet another flashback filler arc.

The reason why I'm writing this isn't to complain. I'm actually quite intrigued about the material. It covers how Sakura and company all become chuunin. In the past my biggest question was, since the chuunin exams require teams of three at the beginning, how did Sakura pass the exam without her teammates? And then, what about Ino and Chouji? If Shikamaru was the only one on the team to pass the exams, thus leaving his teammates behind in rank, how did Ino and Chouji pass later on?

My reasoning was that Sakura teamed up with Ino and Chouji. In fact, I was planning to write this post some years ago, urging some good Naruto fan fiction writer to make a story out of this. But now, I don't have to. Why? Because this is how it's all panning out. Still, I wish I had written that post just so I could link to it for comparison's sake. It would've felt awesome to say, "I CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!"
