| Finally One of my long awaited fights is happening |
 |
| 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! |
| I loved it!! this fight is so good... and Deidara (my favorite character) is just too awesome :D...I hope the next episode will be great too...even though i know i'll be sad at the end u_u |
| For the sake of these couple episodes, I'm happy Deidara didn't die yet , this is pretty darn awesome ! |
joshi said: wtf is wrong with you?hated the animation 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!! |
p r o f i l e đź‘€ |
| 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! |
| pretty damn awesome! |
| Amazing fight, nonstop action and they didn't dwell on any of the techniques. I was so pumped that I needed to catch my breath at the end. |
| -=Dear gravity don't let me go, hold me like the winter holds the cold=- |
Gradation said: YES! its been pissing me off but this weeks animation was good just like ep 85So...has anyone noticed that Shippuden's animation has been getting crappier and crappier? |
| Hahaha, Deidara and Tobi are great, I love them as a pair! This fight is one of the best of the manga, and I totally want to watch the conclusion animated *///* Sasuke is so cool~ ♥ |
 |
| heh, what happened to 'Sasugay' and 'emo-Sasuke' now huh? Guess people change their minds quick:p |
| lol this is such a good fight. and with that C4 Deidara has, that whole entire forest is going to be blown up. o_O 4/5. |

Ssjbryando said: Animation sucks? are you guys serious. They hired a good animator for this one that has set part in a lot of great series. Ryo, and another one. Great animation TBH, especially if you've seen the last 60 Episodes of naruto. I loved it, I watch every naruto ep even though the quality sucks, so it does me joy when I see an animation where the quality doesn't suck. PsychFreak said: The animation was top notch, as I expected from the preview. Blind people. They are everywhere. |

The team who did this are the best animators for fluid movement. |
| wow, when's the last time i've seen a substitution jutsu with the log lol! stupid sauske, didn't think diedara would be a problem for him but he got whooped why didn't he just use genjutsu in the first place. the sword thing was cool though |
Naruleach said: 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!? The thing is whenever a decision that involves managing money is done, it's done with good reasons behind it. It's not that studio Pierrot wants to screw fans over for doing half-assed animations, it's just that they can't afford to make good ones. Any sort of animated series is expensive to make, especially if it involves tidious, traditional drawings on thousands of dollars worth of traditional paper per episode. Compared to American animators who I think have a $30,000-40,000 yearly salary, Japanese animators have about a 1-2 million yen salary, which in U.S currency roughly equals $10,000-20,000. Short answer: No, they don't have a crapload of money. Though in this case, I may be wrong, but I think studio Pierrot had enough money to I guess recruit Norio Matsumoto and Noriyuke Matsutake to do the animations in the latest episode, just as how they pulled through with certain earlier episodes in the Naruto franchise. |
| Go Sasuke! ^_^ |
 |
| Sasuke fighting has generally been entertaining :D |

Ssjbryando said: I also agree that Japanese animators don't get paid as much as they deserve and that they get paid way less than American animators do, but Naruto isn't just a regular anime, it's the biggest most famous international anime. This is why i think they must have a larger than normal budget to make the anime but the art sure doesn't show it. You're right, japanese animators don't earn that much at all, while their 10x better then the americans. And by seeing how famous Naruto is, I think they should be able ot hire more good animators more often : The thing I'm worried about for the next episode, is that it won't be half as well animated as this one. I doubt there gonna have the same team work on the next one, even though the next one might become a big episode as well. : By looking at the preview that is As for next episode's art, I think the good art will continue until the fight is over. it's going to be sad when it ends. I'll be like this -________________- |

If that was good art then all the other current anime should be consider a special eye candy. |

| Eh, maybe it's my slowly deteriorating like for Sasuke that made me not enjoy this episode as much as most people. I just think he is so favorited. >-> BUT ANYWAY, I couldn't enjoy it as much because I read the manga and it's always obvious anyway that a character like Sasuke or Naruto will not die in big battles. So I've lost the element of surprise when they own people. Although, I honestly can't wait for the animation of Sasuke vs Itatchi. |
| o genki desu ka |

So I've lost the element of surprise when they own people. Well practically any anime adaptation that follows exactly according to the manga it adapts from is is bound to lose the element of suprise. I'm actually one of those people who appreciate a plot in the anime that's different from the manga as long as it balances out the "filler content" involved. |
| deidera is awesome! explosive art is the best!!! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| The art wasn't that good O.o Especially Deidara seemed really..weird. But the ep was ok. It was nice to see the part where Deidara joined the Akatsuki. |
| Good fighting scenes, Tobi is funny as hell and Sasuke's face towards the end... priceless. The animation looked different, good but different. The style reminded me of the the epic fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the waterfall. |
| That was awesome. |
 |
| Ahh Tobi continues to amuse. A good comic relief character, it will be all the more amusing when we see whatever his true powers are. I also noticed the similarity between his clay monsters and the ones from Princess Monoke. But Sasuke certainly did a number on him a few times in that battle - next episode should be good! 4/5 |
 |
| Really, really great episode! WHY! WHY, can't every episode look like this! The animation was superb! |
| Tobi is such a crack up. xD |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Good episode! But I don't like what's coming |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| sasuke needs more power |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| If Naruto constantly had this divine animation with a little better art, this show would be considered an elite anime. |
| LOL, go tobi! you have the right idea by running away, haha. |
| LOL XD oh my god Tobi was so funny in this episode. Every time Tobi thought Deidara was dead he'd be mourning over him, then deidara would appear saying "SHUT UP TOBI!" and Tobi would be like "Deidara... you're still... alive...??" XD |
| I'm a Mangaka in training watch me as i make my way to the top!! Wanted: A sensei to teach me and push me in the right direction for being a mangaka |
| this fight not too bad, still kinda slow tho, but i liked it |
| giant explosive Deidara, hm! Art is a blast, hm |
| "For every confession that is made, there is someone that is dumped" -Harima Kenji |
| Okay, the fight between Sasuke and Deidara was nice, but Tobi made this episode epic. x'D |
| Haha, Tobi is pretty funny. Got to wonder how the guy ended up with Akatsuki, he doesn't seem to possess anything that the organization could. Yet, he is probably around for more than comedy relief. At least I hope so. Pretty decent fight so far. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Tobi is hilarious lol. And I loved the part about Deidara joining the Akatsuki. But that's probably because I love Itachi haha |
