Loved the animation style but the quality wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It was like the "Team Ten" (082) episode but not to that level. It was also uneven (see about 16 mins in where Hinata hobbles forward) Bit of a shame, but an improvement anyway.

Didn't Naruto care when the toad sage died? The guy (toad?) let him live in his house, treated him like family, but when he dies - nothing. When Hinata dies (who I thought Naruto never really noticed her, unless I don't know something) Naruto loses it.
I didn't wanna say this but I think it's pretty clear, NARUTO IS SPECIES-IST! (Either that or I'm a dumbass, prolly the latter.)

Storywise I was kinda bored, maybe it's because I've rewatched fights like Naruto vs. Neji or Naruto vs. Gaara so many times but I hate all the flashbacks, even ones we haven't seen before.

And literally I loved the flashbacks cause they reminded me why I liked Naruto as a story so much in the beginning, a stubborn underachiever with big dreams and bold words and statements.

Good point - flashbacks still annoy me, but that underachiever with big dreams thing is what made Naruto great. Also the confession was good but since I knew it was coming it didn't have as big an impact as it should have. Which reminds me...

TO ALL MANGA READERS,

All this hinting at what's gonna happen next is SPOILING the show for me.

Let us anime only viewers enjoy the story as it unfolds, just like you got to when you read the manga. I'm not saying you can't write what you want but spoiler tags pleeeaaase.

I don't wanna hear for weeks in advance that
give me the option by using spoilers, call it a minor spoiler if you want.

That is all, commence hating me.

Great episode.
I use to really like Hinata back in 'Naruto', but she hasn't had much spotlight in Shippuuden. Really like seeing more of her n_n


Also thanks to the mods clearing up the stupid spoilers left by people & in others quotes. Shouldn't need to bring any Manga discussion here at all.

I came to MAL so I could discuss Anime without getting spoilers (Which happens a lot on sites that show episodes).

It was a cool episode, but I wonder why did they put too much effort in the animation of Hina v. Pain, they could've just done that when Naruto was spaming Rasengans before.



Animators hate Naruto as character, obviously and get the main point - a foolish 13 eyar old testosterone-filled hormone-raging teen will love watching a random nonsensical "omg lets go kyuubi" trashing a lot more than an awesome, intelligent and badass fight scene that Sage Mode Naruto VS Pain would have been if animated correctly.


Seriously, Sage mode is second best thing Naruto got ever since the shadow clones in the very first chapter/episode.

Sadly the mainstream here thinks that watching all naruto's character development destroyed in the whole kyuubi bullshit and naruto getting trolled into going kyuubi is "awesome".

I think the confessions were more dramatic in the manga... but, the flash backs were very nicely put.

I prefer going into details and getting dragged on rather than watching 2 months worth of fillers. That's just me.


People only watch fillers because they want to, it's much better to have a high quality episode, fast-paced without dragging scenes (some fillers scenes fill well, but it's rare) than to have the story with a shitty pacing and shitty values.

upcoming episodes will be awesome


*Checks his anime list*

*checks his manga list*

Interesting case.


Well, lets just say that you lost any credibility on being a human being, with what you said.


Seriously, Fai, now you're just hating. It's gone beyond criticizing the show/manga to personal attacks on people just because they love it. You're my age and we're not little kids anymore. You're just being straight-up rude to people for having their own opinion and it's totally uncalled for. Grow up, get a life, and learn how to function in society. You spend so much time hating on Naruto and Naruto's fans, I'm sure you could put that time to work doing something constructive with your life.

ANYWAY.

On to the show. I totally cried. It's one thing reading it in the manga, but a whole different animal seeing it in action. Hinata is amazing. <3 And this episode was cruel and tragic. IT'S SO GOOD. And next week's is going to be epic. It's always awesome when the Kyuubi comes out.

Wow. That pace was waaay slow.
'Twas only a chapter's worth.

And what was up with Naruto's facial expressions.
Not very good animation, IMO.

If that was Sakura in Hinata's position,
I probably would've enjoyed the death.

But the whole thing was dedicated to Hinata
which I truly truly LOVED!
(Except for the "dying" part)
(IF she died.)

Oh and I noticed another person in akatsuki's robe.
Was that supposed to be one of the dead paths?

Loved the last part after the ED song.

Poor Fai, I guess hating and trolling DOESN'T pay off.

Either way this was a great episode, sad to see the ONLY worth while female character in Naruto get killed that way.

The battle with Pain was awesome I admit, I wanted to see her battle for once at least, but it was FILLER. completely. Read the manga damnit again and remake the anime, after one hit she almost died, how can it be so lame.
All in all I admit it was awesome to some level.

The episode was kinda slow. but it was a short/but o.k. episode dedicated to hinata.
and she just finally said she loved him, but not the nine-tails is unleashed and NOW the fight can probably begin now.
Im excited for this next episode. :3

I'd almost say they played this up too much. But I think they gave Hinata's death the needed impact. I don't remember that "Twin Lions" jutsu, must've been from the Naruto filler awhile back. Regardless, well done episode. Especially for us Hinata fans.

It seems to me like this episode was just to stall and build anticipation for the next awesome episode. I'm fine with that, episode 164 is still my favorite episode of all time and i don't want the fight to end too soon. And ya... poor hinata =(
