Anyway, to the point. Let's talk Shino!

The first thing about Shino that's REALLY noticeable is the way he acts. He is very quiet and serious. After the first encounter during the Chuunin paper test, you notice that he uses bugs. OOOOH. Then he relates Kiba to bugs. EEEEEEE. Then you see him with TONS OF BUGS IN HIS BODY! AHHHHHHH!! It's pretty cool.

Shino is from a clan called the Aburame clan. His clan is very different than most others. He allows bugs to like, take his body as a nest once he's born. They feed on his chakra and use him as a place to live. He in return gets to use them for battle. Yeah. That's pretty sweet.

I'm not really sure why he's so quiet. It sort of balances out Kiba, though. Kiba kinda...never shuts up. But that's okay! Cuz That's just Kiba Kiba-ing. He might be quiet cuz he's hiding emotions inside of him. In the anime, he admitted to himself that he sort of hates Kiba. Isn't that sad?... but he does have a good reason, I guess. Kiba can be a little irrational. BUT THIS ISNT ABOUT KIBA! THIS IS ABOUT SHINO! So let's just accept the fact that Shino's a little quiet boy. It makes him hot. Especially with his awesome "intensity."

He's also surprisingly unconcieted like some people *cough*SasukeandNeji*cough*. Whew! Excuse my cough! Anyway, when he's versing Zaku, he's all like "I'm not gonna underestimate J00, F00." That's pretty cool. He's actually one of the few who isn't concieted and is super strong at the same time. I really like that about him. He always gives it his all, no matter who the opponent is. Sasuke and Neji should learn from that. If Neji had given Naruto the beating of his life in the first like, 5 seconds of the battle, he coulda won. But I don't really care since I hate Neji with all my heart and soul.

Shino's relationship with his teammates is  hard to explain. I want to say it's pretty butched up, but I want to say that it's very strong at the same time. Shino and Kiba obviously have very different ways of fighting and stuff. I mean, they're like polar opposites. But at the same time, Kiba accepts Shino and Shino accepts Kiba, even though he sort of hates him. Shino is also always preaching teamwork to his team. HE's all like, "Our 'Chimu' has to stick together." (btw, Chimu is how you'd say it in Japanese). I don't know if he does this just because he's being him or he's trying desperately to stay in touch with his teammates. Either way, he's always talking about being a team. Plus, you see him with Kiba sometimes. Kiba has annoyed Shino like, ten million times, but Shino still puts up and is somewhat...friendly to Kiba. I guess you could call that a friendship.

His relationship with Hinata is a little bit different. I think that they understand each other better than if Kiba was trying to understand Shino. Shino and Hinata don't talk much, but surprisingly, they're very comfortable with each other. Even if Shino was on Sakura's team for like, years, do you really think  that she could be as comfortable with him as Hinata is? I don't think so. I think Hinata's purity and warm heart sort of welcomes Shino in as a teammate and a friend. She doesn't do anything absolutely horrible to annoy him. She's usually pretty unannoying. Hinata is a good match for teammates with Shino because they are the type to understand and talk to each other without feeling extremely awkward. Besides, Shino is like, MADLY in love with Hinata anyway, right? Remember in the anime when he's all, "You'll find your talents too, Hinata." YAY! SHINO/HINA MOMENT OF TRUTH! Yeah. In a nutshell, they're the type to be good friends forever, but maybe not as close as I'd like them to be.

And lastly, what's up with Shino's family? GEEZ! I mean, after watching the filler episodes, I've concluded that EVERY SINGLE ABURAME LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE AURON. They all have the glasses, the cool Japanese afro, the long jackets, EVERYTHING! Is there like, a specialty Aburame clothing shop only for Aburames? I DONT GET IT! They are all so alike it's creepy... but I guess that means that they're all cool at the same time.

All in all, Shino's the coolest character. Get used to it.
