Dattebayo!

Confession confession.

2.5 days leave was spent mugging (i do! really) AND.... watching Naruto (youtube RAWKSS!) 30 mins of reading while downloading naruto, another 30 mins watching naruto, and the cycle continues, until i completed the whole 173 episodes (i started watching from episode 113 so it was a total of 60 episodes over the last 3 days or so)

ACHIEVEMEEENNNNTTT!!! DATTEBAYOOO!!!!

Ok... Apa Ada Dengan Naruto?

A young male ninja (in his teen years) from the Konoha village. Sad and lonely childhood, but determined to make it big and aspire to be the Hokage of the village one fine day (Hokage is like a penghulu. To be a Hokage, one must be an EXCEPTIONAL ninja). The first 100 episodes are about Naruto's journey to assert his existance and ability among his comrades. He constantly want/force/irritate people to affirm that he's indeed a good ninja (in reality, he's clumsy like a toad) Its a story about strong determination and striving towards what one believes in. Its also a story about humans' needs to be accepted and affirmed of one's existance. And he's FARNEEE!! The Japanese animators are so talented in the illustrations!

A Ninja is a ninja when one holds on to one's words, determined to be better than yesterday, and strive to be the best in every situation. A ninja values camaraderie, understand each others' strength to maximise a strategy. That's the Way of a Ninja!

Some other side observations on Naruto:
1) the first 100 episodes were so innocent. No kissing scene, except for one incidental one (between Naruto and Sasuke -a handsome tragic hero in the story) However, after turns of event, the anime 'develop' by having more girls, big-breasted ladies and corny sex jokes - still very kiddy and innocent-like though) Sigh.. even innocent cartoons cant resist the power of sex in media.And oh! Look out for one of Naruto's ninjutsu (special transformation power): Turning self into a blonde beb! Very farneeee!!!! The effect of that power: Guys who look at the girl will bleed their nose! Muahahahahahahahaha

2) For an anime, it is super Drama-Mama!! In this case, Drama-Jap!! Takle angzztt.. especially the flashbacks. Normally i'll just fast forward. Cannot tahan!

3) New vocabulary! Akamaru: Red. Bagga: Shit. Stupid. Any bad word. Dattebayo: Lah. Meh. Ma. Chakra: Energy (i think).

4) The master villain in this story is very similar to Harry Potter. Orochimaru = Lord Voldermort. Some of the common characteristics are:
a) Feared by EVERYONE.
b) Has followers implanted everywhere.
c) Villain is sickly, awaiting someone to be the 'container' for his power. (In Naruto, the Harry is not him, but Sasuke)
d) Immortal as he has discovered the 'elixir of life'.. sort of.
e) His symbolic power... guess guess.... SNAKE! haha

173 episodes done, more to come. Now i'm on par with other Naruto fans! Wheeee~
