Most overrated, drawn out, milked series ever. Shippuuden makes DragonBall Z look fast paced. All Team Gai fights used horrible repeat animation. *Left punch, Right punch, Kick*, jump to a new rock, *Left punch, Right punch, Kick*, jump to a new rock, *Left punch, Right punch, Kick*... If their fighting pattern was really as predictable as it showed, they all would have died long ago.
Oh, and does anyone else think they are making Naruto actually stupider and more childish as the show goes on. I was somewhat annoyed with his simpleness but it seems to be getting worse rather than better. He was smarter five years ago than he is now (although smarter in his case is relative).
