Currently though, the manga is just marginally more satisfying than the anime (since one year of fillers has killed all enthusiasm). I really loved the previous manga arc with the Sand ninja and Gara's rescue...though now everything seems to be at a crawl's pace *pulls at hair*. Argh, I'd wish they'd get on with it.
And I just want to see the anime get back onto the manga storline simply 'cause I want to see Naruto's new black and orange outfit (a lovely combination IMO)
