If you really enjoy those chibi shorts that are at the end of some of the Naruto Shippuuden episodes then you'll really like this anime. The anime is two ten minute chibi episodes centered around Rock Lee and his two teammates Neji and Ten-Ten with the occasional appearance of Naruto, Sakura, and other familar faces (in chibi form, of course). Since I thought the chibi shorts were funny I started watching this anime expecting the same, and was not disappointed. Naruto SD: Rock Lee No Seishun Full-Power Ninden does not promise to be another Naruto, but rather a silly and fun comedic anime that is fun for kids, teens, and adults who, like me, are just an overgrown kid on the inside. Dont expect the animation to be anything spectacular because its not, but it suits the anime quite well. As for the story, it's really just a bunch of random episodes with no real theme other than Lee getting himself and his team into some rather amusing situations (I am particularly fond of when Lee somehow gets Neji to dress like a girl for his random skits). As for characters ... if you love Naruto then you'll see a great many of your favorite characters in chibi form (I particularly love seeing Yamoto in chibi form ... he's in the backround quite a bit and I enjoy looking for him, its kinda like where's waldo except it's where's Yamato instead lol). Anyway if you are a fan of the chibi shorts in Naruto, you'll enjoy this anime but if you are not a fan of them then this anime is clearly not for you. and ... voila!  *For deideiblueeyez*

If you love the lighthearted moments in Naruto and Shippuden you'll enjoy this show. Personally I have always had a soft spot for Lee so I enjoy watching him and his squad's exploits. I really like getting a less serious look at Neji's character as well. I'm currently plowing through shippuden and watching episode after episode can kind of turn you off of an anime so it's good to break it up. I think it's great if you feel like you need a break but don't want to leave the Naruto universe (why would you ever want to?) It's super cute overall and made me giggle. It's a great mindless way to spend a few minutes while eating breakfast or cleaning.

Thats one of the mos boring and stupid shows that i have watched. YES you heard me right I called it a SHOW cuz its defenetly not an Anime. No story, no fights(I understand that this is not the point of this SHOW but there has to be at least somehing going on), no normal animations, no good charecters(they are drawn/animated badly) I cant see the funny part of it. It should be a comedy spin off but the so called FUNNY scenes are NOT FUNNY in any way. But ofcourse this is my opinion. I have watched a lot of comedy and normal animes where there arent any fights or good storyes, but this one just doesnt have anything good about it.
