V Guyver

you have to at least appreciate how much of a beast Pain is. There hasn't been a villain like him in quite some time, he's fairly shocking, maybe a bit overpowered... but he's got some very original abilities. Actually, his multi-body eyesight thing is strangely reminiscent of something we'd see in Guyver. Maybe Masashi Kishimoto should switch to a scifi setting in a future manga.

After Naruto defeats the zombie duo of Akatsuki, Kakashi regards him as an equal. Once he begins training again, his Genin Rank no longer reflects his skills. You'll be shocked later down the road when you finally get to the Pain arc. Besides, Naruto get's lots of special treatment when compared to other nin in his village, it's a miracle he hasn't been put away under lock and key for all of his insubordination.

I have to agree. Naruto remains interesting because he isn't or should I say wasn't a very powerful character except as Kyubi for the majority of the series. Now he's turned around and started to become a powerful character. Bleach does suffer from the DBZ effect of having way too many powered up characters. The main Villian is practically Broli. Since he's been fairly powerful and the very start, and getting absurdly powerful since. His antics get slightly tiresome as a result, especially as his allies simply fall behind, suffering from the Z Warriors effect. Brad, my favorite character in Bleach, is pretty much Piccollo after the cell saga. Naruto doesn't do this to any of the characters. In fact, all of the characters surpassed Naruto in both skill and rank at one point. The one thing that bleach does justice to in it's main character though is that he's actualy smart and gets good greads. Naruto, sadly, may as well have his brain replaced with a cucumber in hte old series. In hte new One Naruto is much more competent, though it takes a while for anything to seem into that skull, despite Sakura "pounding" her intuition into him.

Naruto easily raised the bar when it comes to story telling and treatment of characters (as far as a "popular" series has). I mean, bleach is also awesome, has great plots and character development just like naruto... but it fails to kill off many characters aside from the villain. To this day, as far as the manga goes, I think there has only been two deaths in the good guys department, and one was in a flashback. Oh course this is not counting the fillers, in comparison it's pretty tame in the portrayal of the gravity of death, ironically, in a series all about death. Though Bleach has much more gruesome battles then Naruto... occasionally you see dismemberment and horrible deaths, but bleach goes all out in making their characters suffer physically without actually killing them. Naruto is just one of the animated series that kids should see despite the violence because it delivers morals with a great plot. If only American and European animated programs would catch up to this level of maturity. I mean, right in the beginning of gargoyles, you see a big massacre of the Gargoyle brood, but then as the series goes, they only kill a couple more characters (not counting illusions). Everyone else lives, despite them probably having deaths give characters more of an impact. So we quickly loose that grounded sense of reality. Then there was also Exosquad, my god... they killed so many characters off including hundreds of nonames and dozens of lesser developed characters. I nearly wept as some great characters die and cheer for the bad ones that did. They actually would of killed off at least two more characters from the main cast but the producers wouldn't allow out of fear of loosing a popular toy line character. But even that was lessened because when they did kill some characters, a few would be brought back as clones. This sorta cheapened the experience for me as a kid. When General Shiva died in front of Human children that he despised, they cried and buried him with rocks. I was haunted by the scene and the message of wars stupidity was very clear. Yet they brought him back and ruined the experience for me a bit. They did kill Nara burn's brother off, first by blasting off his arm and leg, and an eye, then eventually he later tried rescuing a character that he had racist attitudes for but eventually died, and of course that one did made me want to cry as a kid. Thank fully that death wasn't cheapened with a clone. And Finally, all batman from the 90 and til now... well not counting the latest "The Batman" (which is not up to snuff). That series had impact even without killing characters. Yet, when you did see a character get ruined or "possibly" killed, it was suspenseful and sad. Like the scene with clayface falling into the ocean, very sad even though he tried to kill batman. Also to this day, the episode with Barbera's dream sequence of being killed by the Scarecrow is so badass. Although it's a dream sequence, it was so shocking, emotional, and dramatic, that I could not keep my eyes off the episode. It was that awesome, and they only got away with doing that because it was a dream. If Batman stuck to it's comic book drama a bit more, then there wouldn't be any budget constraints placed on the series since at that point it would appeal to every age group with the plot alone. It's one of the few series with violence that you don't focus not so much on the violence, but on how the villains relationship with Gotham and Batman in a distorted existence. Well american animation grows up, there will be little need for a series like Naruto, one that makes you appreciate the people you do have around, well at least the ones you have in the naruto universe.

I believe the series does that to characters because it's more meotional and also because it's more realistic. What fun is a show if all the major characters didn't get seriously injured or kill? We may hate it, but it does add more seriousness to the characters.

yeah, it was the Kakashi Gaiden. It was a short story before even Shippuden came out in the manga and in anime format. people were expecting that plot arc to come out first, but it only showed up recently. it was a pleasant surprise to finally have it on screen. Well worth the wait since i loved it. Also ,you should check out the third Shippuuden movie. It's the first good Naruto movie we've had in years, and it really references everything that has happened in the show so far up to that plot arc you finished. I expected it to suck horribly, but instead it was incredibly fun to watch, so try to catch it if you care to.

lol, everyone made the same joke about Shikimaru and the awesome screen time he got for his revenge against Akatsuki.

I'm really sorry that I sorta ruined it for you though I didn't quite spoil an specifics other then it being a filler. The next 2 arcs are much more intresting and aren't filler, thoguh they seem to go by real fast.

well that was certainly new to me. I actualy didn't like the song much, but the animation and characters went well with it.

wow congratz and nice. Never got to work around the bad cluster. You can do this from the regular windows. Do you plan to finnaly create a boot disk for your PC incase anythign happens again?

Yes, I totally agree. Sai started off as a pretty annoying metrosexual characters with very dirty jokes (and insults). Now I can't really imagine Naruto without him. Oi, and I did warn you about the fillers. Thankfully, you've gotten past the worst of it, from now the rest should be much better paced and outlined. Even the fillers have improved (a little). The turtle arc had a lot of great stuff in it, I just hated the kid in it... does he need to be that simple minded. He constantly asks everyone about his home and it's super annoying. I don't care if he suffered trauma, I don't need my precious braincells killed off. Also for the first time, I actually liked a Filler villain. Renji is easily one of the better designs in the all of the Naruto fillers. I actually regret what happened to him.

So Random

wait, why did he include the sword of darkness, Green ranger didn't use it aside from when he was evil. the majority of the rest of the tiem he stuck to just the dagger since hte sword was destroyed.

lol sorry. I was always a stubborn mule.

I suggested the USB/CD boot device earlier as well as the installation CD for windows recovery console. At this point, I don't think he can make one unless he uses a friends PC. Oh and I used the wrong term. I should of said Norton Disk Doctor instead of Diskwarrior, with Norton being an weaker immitation of mac's diskwarrior but for Windows. if you decide to try again, or ask a friend, try this. if you already haven't install the Recovery Console, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. In the Open box, type d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive. 4. A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes. 5. Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" appears on the startup menu. Alternatively, you can use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)-established connection to install the Recovery Console from a network share point.

well, that seems to only leave 2 options left. Take it in for repair, or buy diskwarrior to repair the OS yourself. Sorry, wish I had that PC on my hand,s I might of been able to figure it out in person.

oh, you can directly connect that harddrive to another PC, either with or without the adaptor depending on the motherboard. It's how I recovered my lost data from another PC. Afterwords, I can just reformat it and start all over from scratch. However, starting over is a bit time consuming with wll the drivers and not to mention the OS that you'd have to install into it. Granted, your idea may be better after all in that regard, but at least you have a way to recover your data.

was searching this out for years since I originaly saw it in japanese... ahh my sides were bursting even back then.

I see, you could always use a sata to IDE adaptor.

you mean this? http://api.ning.com/files/jqWty7Z2-j3g5L0iNKUewxATfwKfrG8KmszmZX0DWz4Xgal22q5FDspBD4SfeljxpTMSawlY5aU547hmcq2xPnAKvKtd2SJH/KamenRidersPastandPresent.jpg

meh current sscreeeeeennnn

your hard drive can be dying too. You may want to invest in a cheap 400gb harddrive. As for drivers. Driver's are basically a small program designed to communicate software and hardware to the motherboard and operating system. In that way it's basically the go-between guy in how your computer works, sorta like a mini digital processor. So when a driver malfunctions, it tends to shutoff the communication, but it also at times causes data corruption and at times it extends to other drivers and software, thus screwing up your PC. The blue screen of death is actually a safe-fail tool designed to prevent the entire loss of all your data in the pc and prevent damage to the computer itself. There is no OS outthere immune to this, even mac OS and Lynix suffer from the same problems. Windows tends to suffer the most because there are countless programs for windows and combinations of them on't mesh well at times.
