Yes, I am being a posting whore but that is because not only is this a new journal but I haven't really been active posting in LJ either so I thought I would get everyone caught up on the mind of Gwynn.
Naruto is an anime that I am completely obsessed with. I suppose that the reason that I love the show soo much and how I can love Naruto (that character) is because of how much I can relate to him. Naruto was the outcast growing up. He had no family, no friends, he felt so alone. But he works hard to make people recognize him. I had a family growing up but if you knew my family and me better then you would know that I am an outcast amoungst them. I was a latchkey kid even so while I did have parents and a sister I always felt very alone. Most of the time I didn't have any friends and when I did they were just school friends, I didn't really see them outside of school.
In episode 1 of Naruto there is a shot of him with his head down swinging on a swing. I started to cry when I saw that, because I could feel his pain.
Later in the show he begins to make friends and the view that the villagers and those that he meet change but his past has a lasting impression on who he is. Even in episode 240 (gave random episode number-though one that does exist) you can still see it's effect.
Don't get me wrong I still love all the action and almost all of the characters in the show.
But really you can't understand how obsessed I am with this show. I have been calling every thursday to find out if the new box set for Naruto was in stock at PowerAnime yet. I call on Thursday because he see's his distributor on Wednesdays.
On another happy note, I saw a friend of mine at Poweranime when I was in the store on Tuesday to pick up my copy of the new Naruto Box set. I'm not sure how he managed to enter the store without either of us noticing but we did manage it. I turned towards the inside of the store and there he was, standing next to the wall of manga. It was a very happy moment.
Animeexpo is in July and I might actually go this time. Keeping in mind that I have never been to a convention before. I may make my BF dress up like Itachi because well I got him the cloak and headband so he could. Though i would love to go as Shark it probably wont happen because I don't have enough time or money for preperation.
This is just what was on my mind and so I share.
