Thanks! :) And no problems actually, I've hardly been on there for a long time so I can't really blame anyone if they forgot lol.

Have you started watching Sailor Moon Super S yet?

What have you been doing for your birthday?

I probably will very soon. I finally managed to finish Naruto 1st series including all the fillers & watched the first 2 episodes of Shippuden, but decided to take a break from the series finally to watch some other anime finally as if late. For the past month or so, it has been all Naruto for me, I've grown attached to the series so much that I didn't even think about watching any other anime in the meantime lol.

The series really took over my life for quite a while, I was so invested in its world, setting & characters as a whole that I didn't even skip a single filler

Heh, P5 kinda did that to me. You could say the naruto series used the summoning jutsu on you (tried to make a pun, but this was the best I could come up with)

@mehmeh1 Well the situation in our country has even worsened now so most of the cake & meat shops are closed, I tried hard but couldn't find any shop available to buy stuff. So had to celebrate with whatever's available at home. And then again I've grown pretty old at this point lol so doing big celebrations now-a-days aren't that much of a necessity like when I was much younger. :P

Yeah you can say that lol. I don't really know or yet have much of an idea about how Shippuden is, I mean I've heard many negative opinions about it from many people regarding its pacing, fillers & ending, but the 1st Naruto is legit one of the best shounen I've seen personally.

I don't remember yet another long running battle-shounen managing to get me this invested in it consistently for such a long time ever since I watched Hunter x Hunter.

oh, though it's understandable for places to shut down on times like this. Did you enjoy the smaller celebration?

Wow, you must be loving it if you're putting it alongside HxH, though then again you did give Naruto a 10, so I should've expected that. Tbh I haven't actually seen much of shippuden (mostly either heard things or watched clips), but I can say that the scale is going to ramp up
345ash-greninja
345ash-greninja
Yeah, sure did.

well that's what truly matters in the end, so that's great

I won't say it's as good as HxH since HxH had a wide range of memorable characters including most of the antagonists & except for the Hunter exam arc + early part of the Chimera Ant Arc, the pacing was perfect, while Naruto has all those 2nd half fillers. But well, if I'm including all the main story arcs only then I'd say it's quite close that level:

I mean the Chunin Exam arc, Konoha Crush Arc & the Sasuke Retrieval arc are also amongst the best shounen arcs I've seen, even if Yorknew & Chimera Ant are still better

IMO the Chunin Exam arc is the best one in Naruto, having many awesome fights (including the iconic Lee vs Gaara fight) and a large but surprisingly well handled cast (though it does disappoint me that some of the characters introduced here don't get much spotlight later on)

Yeah that arc was really amazing in the way it handled the large cast of characters in a very balanced way, plus Rock Lee vs Gaara & Neji vs Naruto were thoroughly gripping fights through & through, it's the best one I agree. I also loved the Konoha Crush Arc because of Orochimaru vs Satorobi

and the way it gradually unveiled Gaara's backstory & past connections in a haunting manner. The Sasuke Retrieval arc was also great in the way it helped some side characters, who were lacking their big moments in the show beforehand, shine big time; like Chouji always give me the feeling that he was an useless brat before he showed his worth there,

Shikamaru beforehand seemed to me like a lazy punk but that arc really made me appreciate his leadership skills & brains.

And while some of those 2nd half fillers are quite pointless, there are also quite some of those fillers which are quite useful in making some unused side characters shine, characters who didn't get to do much in the show beforehand,
