I like DBZ, a lot. Then I grew up. Too much of the same thing going on on each episode, takes forever to any character to do anything. Goku and Vegeta are alright characters, but the rest are uninteresting.

I like Naruto, a lot. Then they did like 100 episodes of fillers and moved to shippuuden. Not saying the time skip was a bad thing; I just felt like it lost a lot of quality and each episode by itself. Though I still <3 Sakura. I've actually never head the american dubbing for this, so I can't comment on it.

I like Crispin Freeman, he's a great fit for Roy Harper on Young Justice.

When I was younger, I loved Sailor Moon, DBZ, Escaflowne, Inuyasha, Outlaw Star, Ronin Warriors, Digimon, One Piece to name a few. Not sure if G-Force was anime or not.

Now I only keep up with Naruto. I guess that's all I have time for these days but I'm also slightly addicted to the unpredictability of the characters' development. I feel like the plot is pretty predictable from the get-go, especially now. But almost every week or so, a character gets crazy-upgraded and do some mega-awesome jutsu.
I do wish the female characters got more screen time. I honestly think the girls have more interesting and unique abilities. That said, I'm happy with the recent upgrades for the Konoha girls in the manga, especially Sakura (she's been one of my two favorite characters since Part I). Other supporting girls need upgrades too, like Temari and Shizune.

Oh no love for Hinata? >.>

Sakura was useless up until now- all she did was spectate and narrate in Naruto. Then punch a guy, then narrate again in Shippuden.

Honestly, Naruto has become too predictable. I'm just in it to see Naruto/Hinata happen already. I've been waiting for bloody YEARS now. At this point, Naruto doesn't deserve her.

I have a bad feeling that he's gonna pull a Goku proposing to Chi Chi thing. Proposes and doesn't even know what it TRULY means. AKA he'll pick her because... She's there and seems suited for the position.
it really do be like that tho

Remember when I said Sakura is one of my two favorite characters since Part I? Well the other one is Hinata :-D
And I'm totally a NaruHina fan. I was soooooooo pissed when Hinata confessed her love and Naruto didn't even acknowledge it or do squat about it for like a bazillion chapters. And I was super impressed with her speech after Neji died. When he covered her with the 9tails cloak, I was pretty sure NaruHina is totally gonna happen. I also love the fact that Hinata's been slowly but steadily getting stronger to the point that she is almost as good as Neji now after she managed to pull off a full 8-trigrams 64 palms. I bet her Twin Lion Fist + 8 Trigrams 64 Palms combo is gonna be freaking awesome as heck!

As for Sakura, I hated the fact that she was so useless in canon cuz I liked her character. Plus in the video games, she actually had awesome jutsu! I was happy that she got some development in Shippuden with the super strength and medical ninjutsu and especially in the latest chapters where she's basically mini-Tsunade down to the forehead seal and slug summon. But I was really hoping they would give more boosts to her supposedly awesome genjutsu skills that were never ever ever touched on ever again after it was mentioned that she had them. In the games, her inner Sakura was crazy awesome as a scary-こし genjutsu move.

I also really really like Shizune even though she's just a support character. Something about her selection of jutsu, her abilities as a poison specializing medical-nin and the fact that she uses Tonton as a weapon in the games make me like her A LOT.

Yeah, really Sakura wasn't very interesting in the beginning. Really I think they threw her excellent chakra control in the beginning as a way to give her some type of use. Even then, still useless.

Naruto, for the past 600 or so chapters, has been an idiot.

It took him half of those to realize that Hinata likes him. I'm was so happy when she smacked Naruto. lol.

Naruto is confused.
Hinata uses Miley Cyrus-slap no Jutsu!
It's super effective!

I absolutely adore Sakura, one of my favorite fictional characters period. Though I've outgrown Naruto, her character still interest me and makes me attempt to try to watch the show again. Stopped around 135, then watched a few Shippuuden episodes, either the anime got worse or my attention span decreased.
