Jumping Jehosaphat
Shippuuden is currently schedule for dubbed release pretty soon.
Trying to not include many spoilers:
Gaara is not my main current problem right now (Sasuke/Naruto predestination stuff is).
However, I am curious why Gaara still has black marks around his eyes in the current manga.....
sweatdrop . I thought it was lack of sleep, but I guess it really is make-up. How emo.
No, I imagine that after so many years of insomnia issues even after Shukaku(?) was extracted (I cried while reading the manga when Gaara died lol) from Gaara's body he still can't sleep well. And according to wikipedia every demon host gets a feature from their beast. Like Naruto has whiskers on his face to represent the fox and Gaara has the rings around his eyes to represent Shukaku(sp???).
You know what I thought would disappear after Shukaku was extracted? His 'Love' mark.
