Kakashi Hatake is such a hypocrite, man.

I am once again rewatching Gaara vs Rock Lee. And when Kakashi learns that Gai taught Lee the Hidden Lotus, he is JUDGY AS HELL.

"Gai, are you telling me that genin, that BOY, knows the Hidden Lotus?" Talking about how irresponsible it is.

Kakashi, you are going to teach Sasuke the chidori in THIS SAME ARC.

"I don't know what this boy means to you, but I shouldn't have to tell you that we NEVER bring our personal feelings into this."

YOU FOCUS ON SASUKE AND ONLY SASUKE AS YOUR STUDENT BECAUSE HE REMINDS YOU SO MUCH OF YOURSELF AND OF OBITO.

and THEN Kakashi has the nerve to use his sharingan on the fight. So he can take Sasuke and teach him how to STEAL LEE'S MOVESET to fight Gaara in the finals smh

rewatching the preliminaries for the 3rd chunin exams round rn and,

gaara vs rock lee is such a phenomenal fight, and the hype about it is definitely deserved, and it still holds up years after it was first showcased.

at the time of release, this fight really caught people's attention for its use of 3D environmental animation coupled with 2D characters design (winx club might have done it first, but naruto atp did it better); from the way 3D animation has evolved this fight is not impressive to a modern audience, but definetly holds up as being good (and the same cannot be said about a lot of early 2000s attempts at 3D blending.) !

furthermore, what truly makes it fantastical is the fight choreography! ofc, a lot of it has to do with character set-up, and especially around Gaara and his absolute defense being impenetrable;

but the fight choreography is so satisfactory and impressive as well. i watch this fight sequence just to feel genuine happiness

I wish the bllk anime had a good animation so people could make those edgy amvs with Linking Park in the background like it used to be back then in YouTube

[solarenchanting]

random thought: but every time i think about the chūnin exams arc from naruto, all i can think about is the rock lee v gaara fight.

specifically when rock lee took off his weights.

truly an iconic moment.

i .... just doodled all of this in like 15 minutes and that bottom background free-handed, entirely upside down....

holy shit (a) this background theory actually works and

(b) i am about to become invincible with backgrounds

What are your thoughts on Lee x Gaara

i don't dislike it, it's just not my cup of tea ig! i do see why it's popular but their other pairings speak to me a little more. love gaara making amends w him though, iirc one of the games added a scene w gaara trying to apologize that i thought was super sweet :)

in general i appreciate their rs for what it does for gaara (i also really like his potential dynamic with gai by extension) but them as a pairing never grabbed me fsr, possibly bc im not as invested on lee's side of things in this particular dynamic

tldr i prefer them as friends ^^ the personality contrast is cute

thinking about Princess Tutu again. 100% serious when I say that Ahiru's solo pas de deux scene was a level of badassery on par with Ashitaka pushing open that door in Princess Mononoke. absolutely hardcore

You really just gotta get in to Naruto. It genuinely clears.

I did watch a bit of it in middle school and rewatched some of the first season recently and I liked it! I think I’m just spoiled from modern shounen anime but as cool as some of those early fights were it can be hard to get through bc they spend so much of the fight like standing still and monologuing and there are so many episodes to get thru… I do want to finish it someday tho! I don’t think I could skip straight to shippuden without missing like a massive amount of important shit but maybe I can find like an abridged episode guide or smthn so I can skip some of the filler (at least for my first watch thru)
