   Yes, I'm still alive...
...but it's not like anyone ever really visits my site anymore. I've noticed that my popularity ranking has definitely suffered due to my long absenses in the past year or so.

I guess that's quite alright with me since most of the people who do come onto my site see my name and ask me if I like Naruto and add me on as a friend with no intention of getting to actually know me as long as they have another person to add to a long list of 'friends.' Whatever. I'm not down for superficialities.

It's not like I can contribute much to anime talk since...well, I just don't watch a lot of it anymore. I keep up with exactly two anime: Naruto and Bleach, and that's it. Hell, I've actually been lagging on Naruto because the latest arc just hasn't captured my attention at all, and quite frankly, the manga has grown quite boring. I had been excited about it all, but the battles are going by SO PAINSTAKINGLY SLOW that I'd rather hold off for a few months and catch up when Kishimoto-sensei finally gets the story going at least a little bit. With the way it is right now, it's just like "GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY AND MOVE THE FUCK ON!" Ugh.

Because of this, I'm actually EXCITED to see Naruto on Cartoon Network because it would be amusing to see how much different it's going to be from the original. I won't be happy about how much they're going to change it, but I'd rather revisit the anime during its early, addicting arcs than to trudge slowly along to the crap that it's turned out to be now.

And if I get any comments trying to argue against my OPINION, I will merely laugh at you, because quite frankly, nothing anyone says will change my mind so it'll be a lost cause to try to do so. The Naruto manga and anime suck right now and unless something actually HAPPENS, it'll continue to be a waste of my damn time.

Bleach is the only thing that I'm in love with at the moment, both anime AND manga. The pacing is perfect for both, and the characters are excellent. It's the only one I actually look foward to every single week. That's how Naruto used to be for me, and I'm sad to say that it isn't anymore. If there's one thing that Naruto could learn from Bleach, it's the pacing. It's not too fast nor is it too slow and it's interesting enough to keep me guessing each week. And I love all the characters! (Well except for the 12th Squad Captain dood. CREEPY. That's how a bad guy is definitely supposed to be like! Makes Orochimaru look like a senile grandpa.)

The other anime I had been watching was Tsubasa Chronicle, but that got old fast. "Ooo look feather! Fight bad guy! Get feather back! Repeat again in different dimension! Wee!" Psh, give me a break. Fuck, and I liked Mokona in Magic Knight Rayearth but in Tsubasa Chronicle, that little shit is annoying as fuck. I'd kept up with it every single week, hoping that I'd find some redeeming quality, because CLAMP really hasn't let me down before, but after the 10th episode, I just couldn't handle it anymore. Sakura is such a Mary Sue, Syaoran is a fucking self-righteous prick, Mokona is beyond annoying, and Kurogane and Fye just take up space. UGH.

...Just took the time to reread this post, and I realize that I sound very angry. LOL. Maybe I'm just tired of wasting my time on things that aren't worth it because it's been happening too much lately. Who knows.

I'm not an angry person. Really, I'm not. ^^;
