My thoughts on Naruto chapter 637


Well, the latest Naruto chapter! How do I feel about it you ask? Well, to be frank, it was OK. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Heck, one could make the argument that the only reason it appears to be OK is because put next to the mess that the past few weeks of chapters have been, it looks better in comparison. It's like watching Iron Man 2 right after Iron Man 1, it won't appear to be as good of a movie as it would if you watched it right after Batman and Robin. Next to Batman and Robin it's a freaking masterpiece, but back to Naruto.
I feel that Naruto has been terribly underwhelming of late. Yes, it is kind of cool that Obito is the new jinchuurici for the ten tails, but still, most of us saw that coming didn't we?
Okay, to this chapters credit, the panel in which minato stabs Obito was pretty damn bad ass, but not enough to make me come out of this chapter thinking: "Wow, I didn't just waste 18 pages of my life".
Well, at least we didn't get anymore freaking bijuu bombs, Christ...
And for crying out loud, enough with the flashbacks! First, we get an arbitrary Rin flashback, then Kishimoto does it, he actually does it. Minato has a flashback, of Kushina's flashback, seriously Kishimoto focus on your story...
