[US DVD] Naruto: Shippuden Vol. #3

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge

Mania Grade: B+

In Summary:
Bringing us up through episode thirteen, Naruto: Shippuden is moving right along with its story. After all the filler and banality that was the last half dozen sets or so before this in the previous series, Shippuden is a lot of fun and a huge breath of fresh air. The characters are growing and changing, they are working together in a better way and they are actively dealing with the big story arcs of the original series with new information coming out and other characters like Itachi taking a more central role in events. The promise of Shippuden still has a ways to go in giving us the big epic moments that will define the characters, but what we have so far is firmly stepping forward on that road and saying that it’s all here and ready to be told.
