Sugoi Sugoi!! Deidara is great. :)
And im glad I got to see a change in Sasuke expression when he saw the C4.
Animation still sucks. But we've got Shippuden back on a good pace.

Sugoiiiiiiiiiii~

the opening sequence is actually a trailer for the 3rd naruto shippuden movie which came out in august 1st. I dont think there will be fillers anytime soon considering the manga is miles away ^_^

Great episode. Sasuke really is strong. It's good that he also uses his brains, not only strength.
Preview for the next episode looked fantastically. Can't wait.

Tobi was pretty lulzy here. I didn't like him at first, he seemed like that token noob character that nobody likes, but he's turned out to be pretty funny (especially when he's mocking Deidara)

Anyway, a pretty cool fight. Looking forward to the explosive conclusion. Pun DEFINITELY intended.

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

One of the blessings of having key animators Noriyuke Matsutake and Norio Matsumoto being part of this episode. At least I think they improvised on the those scenes. Then again, those two always pull through when it comes to good animations. They were both responsible for the key animations on episode 85 and Norio Matsumoto was responsible for the key animations of episode 30, 48, 71, and 133 in the first Naruto series.

Great fight episode, I like that Deidara's backstory was included here instead of randomly drawing out the initial battle. LOL at Dei's epic hardcore vomiting of the clay, and Akatsuki's priceless reactions to his speech about art.

WOW! That episode was suprisingly good, I was expecting slow paced but that was great. The animation was top quality and the fight was interesting and innovative. It was smart, really well done, looking forward to next week, this is where Naruto prospers! X ))

If you write Japanese Kanji/katakana, be sure to send a letter to Norio Matsumoto and Noriyuki Matsutake in which you beg for them to be more involved with the Naruto Shippuden animations such as this week's epsiode.

The episode really impressed me...

Good and not slow-paced fighting, I think Naruto is really returning to it's former glory! I hope the fillers don't hear me .__. - they're a place I don't wanna return to *shot* xD


Deidara is one of my favorite characters, and this episode did do him justice like in the manga, can't wait for the next episode~

One of the best episodes of Shippuden I have seen thus far. I like how Deidara started off as confident and then began to get agitated; it shows the depth of his hatred for the Sharingan and I suppose those who wield it. The ending was pretty cool as well; Sasuke made a sort of whimper and instead of being all coolio, made a very scared face like he was shitting himself. Tobi provided comedy relief, as usual.

The animation was top notch, as I expected from the preview. The only thing I didn't really like about this episode was the placement of the music, I feel they could have made this episode that much more better if they included some of their best music. The only one I noticed was at the end after Deidara's flashback but other than everything was bland. Good episode though, 4/5.

FINALLY, an episode that was paced pretty good, this episode corresponds with chapters 357, 358, and 359 of the manga, that's pretty good since most of the time Naruto is usually really slow paced.

Anyways, no one should fear for fillers any time soon, we are still 100 Chapters behind.

At least Sasuke noticed that Tobi is not just a clown and he has got something serious in his guts, while he slashed Tobi and he rose again.

I liked this episode. Action and pace has came back to normal or probably stronger.
Just wonder how much white explosive-clay can be made of a little clay!

wtf is wrong with you?

best episode of Naruto: Shippuuden in a long time. I really hate this show in the fact that not all episodes are made like this. don't they have a crapload of money from the naruto franchise!? why not spend it on good animation!?

lol at 'Pop is dead' --reminded me of a Radiohead song.

Those white creature's heads and eyes sure reminded me of the creatures from Princess Mononoke

thanks for reminding me why i'm still watching this show!!

I wish all Shippuuden eps would be animated like this. I love this style of animation for the series.

This was a such a great episode and did the manga justice. The music scene when Itachi had Deidara in the geijutsu was perfect. I loved it!
