Kabuto's pretty bad ass, always liked him, Orochimaru vs 4-tailed Naruto is bad ass and yes animated is always better of course having pictures come to life is awesome! ^_^

But you don't always get everything, certain parts may be cut or edited for tv-viewing and a lot of the time they don't tell the whole story, add fillers, or just end, which I don't mind except for the last one but yeah it would be so much more bad ass if they showed the whole true story of things like Trigun and Berserk, their manga are AMAZING! Yet their anime is still cool but it fails compared to their manga.
