Do not know how powerful that guy is? Just hitting him and staggering him is a feat, let alone forcing him to dodge and give ground.

100% incorrect. If Superman had a brain fart and tripped up allowing you to hit him it would be becuase he had a brain fat and tripped, not becuase your 'haxxed skillzz' allowed you to hit a light-speed fighter. Pain had been toying with her previously, her hitting him was absolutely not an indication of skill or speed but his weakness.
100% correct. He didn't trip. He was distracted for a split-second and she took advantage of the opening that was provided.
Are you saying that if you were fighting a far more powerful opponent and there was an opening to hit them when they were distracted you'd just ignore it? That's what you're saying?
Part of being a good fighter is capitalising on split-second opportunities and moments of weakness like that.

Doubtful, but even if it was, that still leaves 10% that's ace. Quality over quantity.
Search for the Bikochu arc - Great!
Bounty Hunter arc - Great!
Treasure Hunt arc - Great!
Land of Vegetables arc - Brilliant!
Cursed Haunted Castle arc - Great!
Land of Waves arc - Great!
Three-Tailed Beast arc - Brilliant!

I really don't care about that.

Sure, because the 'creator' is always infallible. Take for example, George Lucas. The vast majority of Star Wars EU is way better than the movies.
Plus the Naruto creator has admitted his faults (like not knowing how to write strong female characters). I'd say the anime writers (who can and do write strong female characters and give them more focus) know them a lot better. At the very least the material they produce is better.

Budget doesn't determine quality.

And yet it's still better than the stuff written by said "professional manga author" who by his own admission can't write strong females. That alone makes it easy for me to prefer other writers who give the women a bigger part.
(To be fair I realise that without said author we wouldn't have the anime in the first place, but I'm not going to act like that automatically makes him better than any other writer).

Yes. So far you haven't provided a single reason not to watch the anime.

So you're saying that Shippuden Sakura is equal to season 1 Hinata (who has improved greatly by Shippuden).
I agree.

Now that makes a lot of sense.
