what a difference a year makes
Jul. 9th, 2005 02:44 pmokay, so i was avoiding school work and decided to document the genin growth spurts of the last year. Many pictures behind the cut, so slow computers beware. I also apologize for the hugeness of some of the picutres. Now, without further "Apu"...

I'll start with my favorite screen capture of the genin. aw, aren't they precious in their infamous rookie group, putting all those older shinobi to shame.


My favorite part of the first picture is the drunk shinobi in the background. but check out how tiny Naruto was then, and now he's practically as big as Iruka.


again, Naruto's so little Iruka has to bend over to talk to him, and now they're practically eye-level.


now, either Hiashi's really short, or Neji shot up at 14 years of age


alright, really poor animation in the first one. but still look how massively older Kiba looks now. He's broader, sturdier, more refined, damn that boy's gonna be fine after the time-jump. Even Shino looks older to me, granted I can't see much of him, he just exudes majurity.


just another team 8 shot, cause i love them so. They should be holding hands in the second picture, showing how much closer they got over the year.


yeah, um, yeah. From no definition to MOTHER OF GOD!


Daaamn, what a difference a year and a chuunin vest make. No wonder Temari so clearly wants to jump his bones.


Evil vs. Friendly neighborhood Sand Squad. how quaint. ps, check out the clevage on Temari, pretty sure that wasn't there before...
And somehow, only Temari and Gaara had the sense to change their wardrobes as they grew. Fascinating.
Most of the screencaps I capped myself, or got from Anime Galleries dot Net

Date: 2005-07-09 08:07 pm (UTC)And yes... perhaps it is time for kankuro (sp?) to get over the i-wanna-be-batman thing
Odd now i notice the change in animation. The old ones look so less refined, some'r just plain crappy *notes temari's lionesque hair* everyone was so much more... fluzzy
Pity, i though shino was going for an outright fro at the beginning.. seems it was just fluzzyness...

...Aren't my idiotic descriptions lovely?
Anyway, the aging-ness is way adorable.

Date: 2005-07-09 11:37 pm (UTC)plus he was a puppet nin when all the others wore down they're clothe's his were fine cause he had his puppet's fight and take damage for him.
i don't think most people notice the change considering the long wait between episodes and chapters they always seemed the same.
unless you watch the episodes back to back or go back and watch on of the older episodes then a new one you probably wouldn't notice.

Date: 2005-07-09 11:47 pm (UTC)and i do go back and watch old eps cause i'm always looking for clips to go in amvs or to screencap for one reason or another.
plus i just love the show too damn much
and excellent observation on kankurou

Date: 2005-07-10 01:14 am (UTC)This whole post is awesome! Great job! You should do one using the manga after the time jump (or I suppose you can wait until it becomes anime...however long *thats* going to take.)

i'm just afraid kishimoto got sick of them and will have a lame disclaimer that they were all killed on a mission or something. that would whomp.
