Wow they made Naruto cry. Did that appear in the manga? I forgot but it was pretty good. Then BAM! Recap, lol! At least it was short. The remaining scenes were generally fillers. Btw I hate the the BGM and SFX of Shippuuden. <_<

Wooo new arc

This episode was alright (at least it was better than the previous one). Still, I hated that recap.
New week we'll probably get that new OP, and it seems we'll get a filler arc soon check the new OP). Which sucks, since Shippuuden is already bad enough, with the way they're dragging things.

Better than the last one, yup..

I liked how Jiraiya was able to summarize the last x episodes in 2-3 minutes ;) Shows how much actual content there was.

Wow, the pace seems to be picking up a bit. It seems like stuff actually happened this episode. And a surprising lack of flashbacks...until Jiraiya explained the whole arc to Kakashi. All in all, it seems to be improving.

Naruto really loves Sasuke, it's so touching <3 (and yes, he did cry in the manga too ^^)
I enjoyed the ep until they started with the recap. That and the flashbacks ruined it for me. The bit at the end with Sai was so sweet... and awwww at the scene behind the picture, sooo cute <3

But because they have been trolling since the beginning I wouldn't really count on that too much.

Just downloaded a RAW version from a different source,
indeed they did go from 4:3 to 16:9 in the middle.

That is really nice to hear. I have been wondering why they still stick with the 4:3. Hopefully they will do the same thing with Bleach.

what a horrible horrible episode. this means they are probably gonna fill the rest for quite some time. it seems if they were gonna go filler crazy this would be the place to do it.

get ready it might be painful.

This episode and 54 until the end, it still follows the manga and its not a filler >.< re-read from chapter 310!

I liked it but just hope to survive through this filler arc!

All that effort to get to Sasuke, and after three slow episodes he's gone without Naruto swinging a punch. Even if this is how the manga went, it's really disappointing.

well as far as following the manga, yeah it did, but they added extra stuff that wasnt necessary. which means we'll have to endure some long fillers from the look of it. i hate watching episodes that make me feel like i just wasted my time on a show that i actually enjoy watching.

My god. Was a recap of the arc REALLY NECCASSARY?? I mean come on! I know it moved so tediously slow you might've forgotten why the hell they were there in the first place, but still!! I wonder what the producers of NS think their main demographic is, some community of people filled with Alzheimer's? (bonus points for the reference) At least they're finally out of there so we can move on. At this rate I'd rather see some filler than this.

Jiraiya just recapped the whole arc in 2 minutes, the arc isn't that bad but man one extreme(too long) to the other(too short), I am just catching up and I hope the fillers aren't too bad.

I know~
Damn it Naruto! You came all the way looking for Sasuke and you didn't even attempt to do anything~ Jeez, you think he would know by now that the verbal approach doesn't work with Sasuke... >___<

How much stronger are you going to get in 6 months Naruto, when do you don't seem to have improved at all in 30.

I'm not sure I understand what Naruto did during the two and a half years when he went to train because personally he does not seem stronger to me than before and especially he has not evolved at all, it's always the same whiny and stupid kid he was when he left with Jiraya
