I can't believe that they're doing it again! Just when Naruto: Shippuden was getting to the really good stuff (the war was about to begin), they start the flashbacks all over again. Ugh.
It's the one frustration I have with the anime. Now, I understand the trouble that the anime has. Naruto is still an ongoing manga, with a new issue every week. The anime also comes out once a week but somehow, they always seem to be catching up to the manga's story, so after a certain block of the main story, they have to step back and either tell a couple months' worth of mini-adventures that have nothing to do with the main plot, or we get stuck with a couple months' worth of flashbacks, retreading the same ground we've already gone over before.
<sigh>
It's a good thing I can hop over to Barnes & Noble when the next complete issue of manga comes out so I can continue the main plot.
But, the thing is, I actually like the anime better. I am not a purist by any means. Sometimes, good literature is actually better on screen. Sometimes, it's the collaboration, from the artists to the actors to the writers to the directors; a lot of work goes into television by a lot of people and when that team really comes together and cooperate, you'll have some very fine artwork.
The fan in me just wishes the anime would stop teasing me like this.
