It's 2 and a half years since Naruto left to train with the Legendary Sanin Juraiya. You'd expect him to be bad*** right? Guess again. Naruto is still the goofy little kid who still gets his *** handed to him in every fight. What exactly has he learned? No new jutsu to be sure, just learning to control his Kyuuba. That sounds cool but it's really not. This lies a problem with character growth. It's nonexistant in shippuuden until around episode 50 (avoiding spoilers). Naruto still wants to find Sasuke. Guess what? SASUKE WILL NVR COME BACK, GET THAT THROUGH YOU'RE THICK SKULL!!!!!

Another problem ... is the story. Shippy progresses too slowly. Half an episode is just talking, the other half is the slow fighting. It will literally take 5 minutes just for someone to punch the other guy. And the flashbacks are just silly. Why do I need a flashback for something that happened 5 minutes ago? This has happened quite a few times. The character designs aren't bad except Ino's. She looks like a Britney Spears wannabe and who'd wanna be her?

I gave Naruto shippuuden a 7, but my review makes me sound like I hate it which is not true. Shippuuden actually has a deep story. If it progressed fast it'd be epic. More about the Akatsuki's goals are revealed and when a fight actually occurs it can become an awsome fight.

Naruto Shippuuden also has a different animation style to it that I enjoy. It sets the mood for a dark and deep story which I enjoy.

I gave it a 7 because when something good happens it becomes REALLY awsome. The story pacing just keeps it from it's true potential.

Code Geass is easily my favorite anime (that goes for Code Geass R2). It combines the brilliance of Death Note with the mecha action in Gundum. Its basically about a boy, Lelouch, who obtains a sacred power to manipulate people, the Geass. He plans to take over the Britannian Empire.

The characters are very interesting. For example, CC. The pizza loving green haired heroine of Code Geass. Her past is shrouded in darkness. Her love for pizza adds a lot of humor. CC is easily a fan favorite along w/ Kallen Stadtfeld, the 2nd heroine. Shes tough and is Lelouch's main love interest. Another character of ... interest is Suzaku. Suzaku is deeply hated by many for getting in Lelouch's way. He's a japanese boy but joined Britannia to change it from the inside. My fav characters are CC and Kallen.

Code Geass is best watched when all the episodes are released (and they are) due to cliffhangers. Make sure you have nothing to do because from episode 1-25 you'll be hooked.

As I said, there is mecha combat. Combat takes place in Knightmare frames. Many people believe the mecha genre is over used. Luckily, Code Geass manages to easily balance out mech fights and the stories that happen before each fight.

Code Geass nvr lets me down. The balance of story, combat, and character development.

People say Death Note and Code Geass are similar, and they're right. I personally believe Code Geass is dominent. If you liked Death Note, you should like Code Geass.

Code Geass FTW!!!
