Believe it or not, but I've been meaning to change the topic's title to something a little bit more exciting, but since GWOtaku is our resident mod fan, I'd figure he might have something to say. That and the lazy bum is never on AIM when I want to talk to him!! On the topic of the writing of the series, I think Naruto is going to be one of those series' that will be a completely different experience when read all the way...
