The anime adaptation of Sasuke’s Story started this week and I am loving it so far. Itachi’s Story seems to be a rehash of a lot that has already been shown already, at least in the anime adaptation, but Sasuke’s story is all brand new. I probably will skip Itachi’s Story and wait for Sasuke’s Story.
