Anime only watchers… you probably already know this but you may want to skip this news post. There has recently been a time-skip in the series and I have created a guide to this “Part Two” of the series. This guide will explain costume, rank and skill changes over the two and half year jump in time. This has high spoilers so beware.

Chapter 248 has been released to stores today. The arc from last week continues as we see the powers of the Kazekage.

A pretty popular area on the site before our long downtime was the Unanswered Questions section. An area where we would suggest interesting points of discussion on plot points and issues that Kishimoto has yet to flesh out or answer. The area was tied to the forum and gave visitors the ability to throw out their own thoughts and theories on the subjects. Well, we’ve reopened the area. You’ll need to register on our forum to give your thoughts, registration is quick and easy and can be done by clicking here.

Animation Insider is reporting that both Naruto and One Piece will be coming to Cartoon Network this year. One Piece will begin airing on Toonami starting this May, and Naruto will hit Toonami this fall in the third quarter. Toonami does have their programs edited for content, but this is a much better fate for both series than Fox Box or Miguzi.

Yes, another Wednesday, another Naruto anime episode release. Not the end of the world, they’ll still come out.

Episode 122 entitled Fake! The Man Shikamaru Risks to Recover from a Hopeless Situation! has aired in Japan. This episode continues the fight between Shikamaru and Tayuya. This was a good episode, a really good showcase for Shikamaru’s talents.
