I just got through watching Naruto Shipp through Ep 82, and now I'm truly sad.
Oh not because character X got killed, no it's because now Naruto has officially jumped the shark.
The writing is making me weep, tons of filler episodes, glossing over Naruto, and then you introduce a deadmeat character arc to keep a pulse on the series.
I knew the guy was deadmeat when he started trying to pursue a relationship with that woman ninja he'd been ducking for years.
You can kill off one character (a major one at that) and tug at the heart strings of folks, good writing. But then you do it again (to a virtually insignificant character), and without any gusto...
I don't even know if I can watch the series anymore, please someone tell me it gets better?
