Oh, indeed it's the ever so popular Naruto Shippuden. Ready to waste mindless hours watching yet another dragged on Shounen Anime? I sure am!

Story: It's Naruto! Of course the story is going to be pretty sappy looking. Ya'know with the Sasuke and bonds stuff. But the thing is it is executed well. So the anime in the nutshell is. Naruto has left Konoha for a period of 3 years with The Legendary Sennin Jiraiya. Within these 3 years he has been training for future endeavors. Aswell within these 3 years everyone seems to hit puberty and have a major growth spurt. The former chunnin ninja ... have become adept, some of which have become jounin. After Naruto's fated return. His team is reunited with the classic bell retrieval test. Sakura and Naruto work together to steal the bells. They both demonstrate magnificent skill. Resulting in the reconsaince of Team Kakashi. However Kakashi is always missing or injured so Team Kakashi is lacking as a team. A mysterious new ninja and a Anbu member join the team. This is when the ultimate goal of Team Kakashi uncovers. To retrieve Sasuke and destroy Akatsuki. Seems Legit 8/10.

Art: The art has improved over the original resulting a much more enjoyable experience. However overuse of certain animations is a huge turn off. Seeing the same traveling animation is quite irritating. Character Models however are very well thought out and designed. 6/10

Sound: I'm a sucker for good OPs, and NS has a good amount. Specifically Sha La La. Aswell the voice actors did a magnificent job. They aged everyones voice quite well. This would be a perfect 10 if it did not lack in actual Sound Effects which would be reused to death. 8/10.

Characters: 8/10. They were good. Not quite sure how to say how without spoilers but whatever.

Enjoyment: It is so far a very exciting watch. A very good replacement for Bleach. 9/10

Sorry this is my first review ever so it won't be great.

This is the first ever Manga I have ever read and boy did I pick a good one.

Story 10/10

The story is amazing it reminds me a bit of Death Note. It makes you want to read the next chapter almost immediately. The Chapters are full of suspense. And you learn alot about psychological warfare.

Art 7/10

... The artwork isn't really the Manga's strong point. The art is mediocre at best you really don't see expression on the faces of the character other than baggy eyes and tears.

Character 10/10

The characters are very diverse ranging from a very honest girl to an insane greedy man. Of course all Manga's have a badass character and wow does this one comply.

Enjoyment 10/10

Must I really explain? It's an amazing Manga.

Overall 9/10

It is a very suspenseful anime and is a definite watch.
