Naruto Anime, I have few complaints against you.

First, you are too thrilling. I can't do any homework if you won't stop making me want to know so badly what's happening in the next episode.

Second, you may be thrilling in whole, but your flashbacks and key scenes replays? Are not. They're annoying. They make me want to throw my laptop out of the window at times. They make me think that their only purpose is to fill more viewing time. You could have spared at least two complete episodes without repeating yourself over and over and over again, and the fights wouldn't last at least three eternities each either.

Third, I didn't want to ship SasuNaru (or NaruSasu, really, I couldn't care less about that), for serious. I mean, hey, it's mainstream and I like my weird pairings, it's almost boring to ship a pairing that everyone else ships. And I'm sorry to say that, but your SasuNaru fandom has a bad reputation as far as I can tell.
This does not mean that all fans of this pairing are crazy or bad or whatever, it's just that some of the crazy ones are very loud and end far often as a wank feast on Fandom wank, I can tell so far. Which is a pity. Because, why, oh why do Naruto and Sasuke have to behave like the other one were the only other being in their own little world most of the time? Yeah yeah, I know I know, Naruto likes his "Sakura-chan" and Sasuke doesn't stop to think about his brother, but honestly? Except for words? Both of them are only looking and caring for each other, every other person becomes almost non-existent when they go into Rival Mode again.
And then... there was episode 16. Where Rival Mode gained a lot more obvious meaning than just "I just look at you because you're my rival and that's it". Dammit. That episode definitely wasn't fair at all for someone who didn't want to ship you!Uh, recs anyone?

Fourth, let's talk about Sakura. Other than a lot of people it seems, I do not hate Sakura. I have probably been very lucky that the first time I saw her was in her fight against Ino, where she definitely kicked asses! If I had followed the right order of episodes right from the beginning? I would probably hate her. So fortunately I knew that she wouldn't stay that obnoxious pink grrly girl for long, like she was introduced in episode 3.
But still, I'm really annoyed at the way she is represented, even though she isn't the bitch of episode 3 anymore. Did you ever notice that we never saw her fighting before (that's before episode 18 for me)? Yeah, it's great to tell us that she had the best marks ever in ninja academy, that she can use her chakra in the most efficient way ever, that she doesn't need to practice because she gets the idea right from the first try, but I'd love to see her doing a few more things than just stay in the background and admire Sasuke and Naruto fighting, or covering someone even though we know that covering them won't change a thing if ever she was being attacked. They're a 3-person team, so why on earth are the only ones working as a team only Sasuke and Naruto? Why is she always left outside, is never involved in their plans and has no clue whatsoever what kind of strategy they intend to do???
Seriously, Sakura deserves more than just being an annoying and very useless caricature of a love-sick teenager girl, including the pink color and everything that makes clichés squee with glee. Because otherwise I might start to think she's nothing more than a trick from her creator to make also girls read a shônen manga, with no other utility than to make fangirls happy. And that thought is most disturbing!

Fifth, dear Naruto. Stop saying Dattebayo all the time. You know the english comic strip where everybody (and especially Sasuke) get annoyed because you say "Believe it!" all of the time? Same in Japanese. I am annoyed. (But then I'm also very delighted because I finally begin to understand a lot of what they're saying, and I don't even pay that much attention to subs exclusively as before anymore!♥ Better late than never, eh?)

Sixth, while we're at it, stop being stupid, dear Naruto. And to say stupid things. See, I haven't seen Sasuke emoing over his brother for a few episodes now, but you never fail to say or act stupid even once. I still like you very much, but for heaven's sake, I can't wait to see if your future and more mature self in Shippûden has improved in that matter!

Seventh, uuuh, Kakashi, please use your ninja dogs more often. I like your ninja dogs.:)

Eight, I should go and finish some work now so that I can watch a few more episodes later today...;>_>

Ninth, work faster, torrents!

And tenth, why don't I have a Naruto icon by the way? I'm sure I had a few some while ago... And I want a Gai Thumbs-Up icon, including breaking waves in the background and Shining Teeth™! Badly!
