I really enjoy watching a good anime. And there are several “long runs” out there, so in between of all these never ending stories I watch shorter ones. I was once asked to make a top 5 list of the best anime’s I had seen.. Well. Let’s just say that top 5 ended up being top 17. Still there are some I often come back to after several breaks, and Naruto is one of these.

I first watched the original run of Naruto. 220 episodes. And after some time passed, I decided I had to watch Shippuden as well. I have my periods where I watch like 30-100 episodes before I take some weeks/months/years off watching other things. But questions always linger in the back of my head; “what’s going to happen?”, “who will they meet?”, “who are they?!”, “where will they go?” and so on. I have this bad habit of always wanting to finish what I’ve started watching. Good or bad, I just have to know how it goes. Luckily, of all the, almost 100 anime’s I’ve watched there only been one really bad, and that’s not much!

So now I’ve watched like 40 episodes or so during this week (help, what am I doing with my life). Last time I watched around 60 episodes in a week, and that was during my exam writing (which was 8 days of writing). Well, you do the math..

So have me excused. I’m going to go watch the 235th episode of Naruto Shippuden, and the thought of only being halfway through is quite scary and yet so reassuring.
