No one gives a shit about the dub voices. The writing sucks completely when they diverge from the manga, not that the manga is anything terific in the first place. The series has no real defining purpose other than to make money. Thus, they will keep making it for as long as possible and for as cheap as possible. 'expand its borders'? Is that a new way to phrase "fuck we caught up to the manga!"? OVER TOO SOON? FUCKING EPISODE 173 and you are complaining that it would be too short?

The show might not be a complete pile of shit if it wasn't a complete pile of shit, designed to be a complete pile of shit. Naruto is so bad I cannot even watch it MST3k style. Oh and guess what, not all opinions are valid.
