RawR! damn 48 was hella good, too bad it leaves you wanting to know who will win, for some reason i have a feeling rock lee is going to win, but then my other half says gaara is going to win in order for the anime to go on. what are your guys opinion?

Hmm, should I spoil it for you? Nah. If you want to know who wins, read the manga. Thats what I do. Its pretty cool. But the downside is you spoil everything before getting to see it in live animation.

IF you like Naruto, Try reading the manga. However, if you don't like spoilers, read the manga after 49. YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS OR HATE IT COMPLETELY! :)

If you read the manga, you'll probably never enjoy the anime so much again because you'll realise just how slow and annoying Naruto is when animated. A scene that takes 5 frames in the manga can be stretched through the hackneyed use of "meaningful" pauses, dramatic music and unnecessary close-ups to cover almost 15 minutes in the anime. If you don't believe me, watch ep 46. I know Kishimoto liked DBZ in his youth, but this is too much!

yeah, I agree about how annoying it is in the anime. The manga is cool though.

Sometimes you want to see the action, but it takes like 5 minutes to show what happens just the next picture box is showing in the manga. That's irritating that they have to slow it down like that. Maybe they just like to get people standing on their toes and leaving them in suspense in what's going on (non-manga readers).
