Well, I just recently downloaded the second Shippuuden movie and watched it. Overall, I have to say the plot is something out of a badly written fanfic, thus the first Shippuuden movie gets points ahead with a better plot and storyline than the hodge-podge 'fan service' the second movie seemed to be.

Yet, for some reason, I found Amaru to be a good fit for Naruto. She's not shy to express her feelings nor does she overreact and be too snobby at times. Heck, that promise she made to not ever leave Naruto alone shows she wants to be by his side.

I don't know about anyone else, but the very end of the movie made me think again why Naruto even bother with Sakura and his 'friends'. I know, I know, he's loyal to a fault and will not ever abandon his friends, etc., etc. Yet I can see they were beraiting him with the exception of Hinata and Amaru, who knew Naruto was a hero. I especially winced with Sakura's attitude, making me once more wonder if Naruto is better off with another girl than chasing Sakura. Heck, this has given me an idea for a Naruto/Amaru fic to write (and I'm going to try to make it just a one-shot, for a change).

So for animation quality, some fun, and a bit of the fluffy stuff (between Naruto and Amaru), the second Shippuuden movie was okay. Just as I said, the plot was bad that I don't think I can stand to sit through the entire movie again. I'll just rewatch particular scenes, and that's that.

Just too bad for me I can't find any good screen-capturing programs that can capture off of Windows Media Player. I just would love to get some shots of Naruto and Amaru together to make some wallpapers.

So I'm outta here! Long live Naruto! He's now the pimp! Let's see... Hinata, Sakura, Amaru, Shion. Who else will likely fall for the loudmouth?
