		<description>Its time for my weekly reply to Lupus's coverage on Chlorox, the manga series.

My, what an amazing turn of events, Strawberry Face has defeated The Lion King, and just after he picks up the Dragonboobs to rescue Snow White....Edward Scissorhands joins the game! Not before shearing some of the Lion King's vitals though!

And ladies and gentlemen, lets not forget Strongsad, who is currently wanking in the Twilight Zone waiting for his turn to swipe at Strawberry Face! Will our endeared fruit survive the chain of baddies wanting to put him on top of a Black Forest slice? Find out next week on another EXCITING installment of ChloroZzzzzzzzZzzzzz</description>

		<description>@Jesus, I don't think you're the only one who's been thinking this way.  From what my hubby tells me, a lot of people are upset not only at the little progress Naruto has made, but at the lack of the title character.  He's been very irritated to the point where for the last month he's been calling the manga Sasuke.

Hopefully the fact Naru has just met up with Itachi will mean we'll get a little bit more of the title character for a little while.

Although the younger Uchiha is more than likely going to rear his pretty head (I'd say ugly but I'd be lying) considering Itachi is his target.

What really irks my hubby, is that just when Naruto gets stronger then Sasuke has to somehow be even better.  He also pointed out to me that now Sasuke can heal quickly just like Naruto.  

Although it doesn't surprise, after all hasn't Kishimoto said that his favourite character is Sasuke?


@Lupus, I agree that Madara is a very interesting character.  For some reason a lot of people keep thinking that this manga is drawing to a close.  And I tend to disagree, considering he's still introducing mysterious characters like Madara.  And even if Sasuke gets rid of Itachi there is still the rest of the Akatsuki to deal with.

I think what I like better about the fights in Naruto as opposed to Bleach is that the outcome doesn't necessarily rely on power.  In the end it was Sasuke's quick thinking that saved him.  He didn't power up and take Deidara out with some super cool, mega powerful move.</description>

		<description>I'd have to say that the Sasuke vs Deidara fight was much more interesting than the whole Ichigo vs Grimmjow fight. And the fire surrounding Ryuuma is probably his "aura".</description>

		<description>I think part of the problem people have with Bleach's current (manga) progression nowadays is Kubo has it down to a very simple, very plain formula. The very formula for the Ichigo vs Grimmjow bout you can see in the Soifon vs Yoruichi bout during the Soul Society arc. That formula is basically tier 1 fight &#62; tier 2 fight &#62; tier 3 fight &#62; flashback &#62; end of fight. Because of the nature of the Hueco Mundo arc, people have tuned out after about 20-30 issues of straight up, rather formulaic, battles.

Part of it is also that the story assumes you have some vested interested in the characters that were made to be vested in. For example, Grimmjow was obviously portrayed with a rebellious streak that was supposed to invite some curiosity. But overall, I think its hard for readers in general to "connect" with the Espada in the same way as the Shinigami, let alone Ichigo's "Team Nakama".</description>

		<description>Yeah, I'm shocked at how little Naruto has improved.  I mean, he trained under bloody Jiraiya, the least he could do is show us a few more jutsus, or at least being able to pull off a rasengan without relying on kage-bunshins.  Especially since he did it in that fight against Sasuke way back when.

As for Bleach... well sorry, but that's what I think.  I really can't muster up much enthusiasm for Bleach now-a-days.</description>

		<description>&#62;:(
I waited so long for your Bleach review and all I got was Bleach-Bashing T________T

Ichigo's fight was The Best one in the entire Manga so far, how can you Not like it? Grimmjow’s release was amazing, Ichigo's determination, his attacks; everything was great in the recent chapters. The level of cruelty in this review is beyond anything a poor/pure innocent soul like me can handle.

I demand you replace that review with something positive. Like, with mine :)
Bleach owns

And about Naruto, I dropped it 4 month ago when the leading character (Naruto) failed to impress me the slightest after a supposedly 2.5 of training and even some more training with kakashi. It brought my piss to a boil when I saw kishi favoring Sasuke in every aspect over Naruto. The Manga has been going downhill since Last year.
Booo Naruto</description>
