I haven't read this thread because I don't want to spoil anything for myself ... it's been so long since I read the manga... I think I'll catch up on it within the week or so, then I'll be able to communicate in these conversations on current happenings.
The last thing I remember reading was Temari fighting Shikamaru.. XD Pretty sad isn't it.
I've only officially seen episodes 1-50 completely. I've seen parts of episodes in the 60's but that doesn't count ... and the only reason I've seen 1-50 is because I have them on DVD (they were cheap on ebay) =P
