Meh to be honest it was just like watching whatever episode this was in of Naruto originally. Didn't really bother me much.

Could of been a lot worse xD Oh well 3 more episodes to go, not a big deal, for me at least.
Does make me want to re-watch some of the old episodes now though.

As for the new OP and ED....skipped that since i couldn't be bothered...give it a watch later ;o

I guess I'm one of the few who see something to appreciate here. This isn't nearly as bad as watching the same 2 minute flashback for 6 episodes straight...

But this stuff happened 10 years ago. 10! While I'm not sure the current war arch is the very end, I am sure we're very damned close to it, and I think a little recap on 10 years of canon isn't something to dread. Plus, they're hitting the big plots points, giving us the action, AND reanimating it all. I'm cool with this.

The first scenes when Naruto and Sasuke are very young, those are the original things, it was from the manga. And the others, you know, it is all flashbacks.

God, how nostalgic is Kakashi. His reading of that book is a freaking icon. He is one of my favorite Naruto characters.

The OP was quite bad. Though I like this "song" better than the previous one.
And kudos to the one who made the ending. Sasuke vs Naruto = full of win.

This is a great time to relive and remember those nostalgic Naruto moments. I would love it if they had just started the war, but these flashbacks fillers are not that bad.

I don't understand why would they put fillers the gap between the manga and enemy is like more than 70 chapters they better put more than 2 chapters in an episode after the filler is done, i finished the manga in two days from the excitement

Nice to see how they all seem happy and cheery upon the prospect of war.... yeah, that OP choice was poor to say the least ¬¬

Also, can't stand any more recaps from this show, I'll be back in 4 weeks or so like a big part of the forum.

You guys do know that part of this flash back is actually in the original cannon story. Your so busy complaining bout it that i bet you never caught that. Some of the flash back shown is new footage. Although the time in which it takes place is very different in the manga.




In any case, i like these episodes, its a welcome relief to see all of team 7 again, especially when you factor in whats coming in the future of the story. Its also nice to see it displayed in a away that we have never saw before with the new quality animation.

yeah, i thought it was just a recap but then didn't remember seeing that fight with naruto and sasuke. thankfully ill be watching the next 3 episodes hoping to see that they add new stuff. their animation is definitely a step up in these episodes as well.

and the part where naruto asks the third about his parents.. idk when that scene took place in the manga but yea. it was nice seeing it since i've never read the manga.

"Even Chouji!"
XDD


the first half was enjoyable, definitely some new scenes. And the best thing about the epi is the OST from the first part. And the animation is great.

That was really nice :) The pacing was wonderful and I really enjoy the idea of a recap over a month period. I really miss Sasuke like this, he was a beast (he still is, but here he was a good beast :P). I can't wait to see the next episode. I loved the Chuunin Exams, they were so interesting from start to finish.

About the OP: Really can't stand it. I was honestly starting to enjoy the last one, but this one is just a fail. I don't like the style of the singer's voice...
About the ED: Loved it! The Sakura and Hinata scenes were refreshing, and the very last frame was cute with Naruto and Sasuke. I prefer the old one better still though. Probably because of the beautiful video, and the amazing song. This one is still nice though. I like the whole Sasuke and Naruto thing, it's beautiful. I just can't get over how in the last opening Naruto went into the dark for Sasuke. That was truly wonderful :D

That falshback episode was better than usual, still a filler nonetheless. Thank god it's over after three more instead of 20+ -_-

The animation of the new OP is better than the old one's. The song itself, not so much. So awful.
The ED is pretty nice though.

Horrible OP... what were they thinking??? I don't want to hear that shit ever again.

I actually liked the recap. the reanimated it for widescreen HD. A great refresher of some of the best events in the series! at the end this recap will build up and that will be a great start for the war arc.

the ending wasn't that bad though.


Yeah nice ED but another horrible OP. The scenes of the OP are actually good and not as stupid as the previous but the music is horrible.
I was waiting for that Stupid Op to go away and we got another this. Damn! Them.

Well we know the story but at least they bothered reanimating stuff and showing different perspectives of the story. That makes it at least better than a useless filler.

At least these flashbacks were reanimated.. And I particularly liked that part where he extracted the poison. First half was pretty good, don't remember the part with the third talking to Naruto after he gave the money.

Yeah, I agree with you *.* I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WARRRRRR.
But I'm loving this fillers. I guess they are like a recap for the first episodes of the first anime (judging from this episode and the preview of the next one) and I hope we can get a quick recap of the 135 episodes from the frist anime. I miss the old soundtrack and was really happy to see those moment again XD
I think the producers of the anime are saying to us like "Ok, some epic Epic EPIC EPIC shit is gonna go down in the war arc so, while you brace yourself, take this 4-episodes filler ahahhaha (just a theory though XD)

Oh, and I liked the new opening and ending, although it's nothing close to the 6th opening for example *.* But they are still quite good and I loved its animation anyway

This was almost entirely stuff we've seen before several times. The most entertainment I got from this episode was singing the log song from Naruto abridged whenever Kakashi used substitution jutsu and that old preview music is awesome. Other than that a complete nothing episode. 2/5 New OP reminds me of older Naruto OPs very memorable and high-energy. The ED is cool too. Next episode is the same shit ugh.
