As much as I love Gaara, these flashbacks are dragging on now. We've got Hyuuga sisters next week (for the movie). Who knows if they'll be adding more fillers after that?
At this rate we might not even get to the Madara stuff by the new year. Could've sworn the director said that there'll be no more fillers this year. On that note, look forward to 2015 when they add a 9 month filler arc to milk the series as much as possible before finishing it.

Although it was another flashback, it was quite okay. But I don't like how they stretch the anime, there's still enough story which hasn't been covered yet.

Was pretty much exactly what I expected, which wasn't much lol. Looks like next episode is about something completely unrelated. As much as I like the the main story, these out of place flashbacks and completely unrelated filler episodes this adaptation is adding make it less and less enjoyable.

Gaara flashback episode, and it was well done compared to some we had earlier.

Excited about next episode! The side story will cover something manga didn't, and the last movie will be about the Hyuuga sisters so hell yes!

Tsk, just waiting for the good stuff to start. I find it kinda funny that Goku asked Gaara a question and he completely spaced out having his flashback. Wonder how long it took to answer him..

That being said, i pretty much skipped 95% of the episode. The animation was horrid, but i wouldn't expect SP to spend money of flashbacks. I hope the next episode has at least more Hanabi than Hinata...

flashback/5.

^ It would've been touching if i didn't remember almost everything in that flashback. Like come on, people, is your memory that bad or do you just enjoy seeing the same thing for the who-knows-what time? It was touching when i first saw it...

You know what was a relatively good flashback? Kabuto's. We didn't know jack about his past, and it was actually somewhat enjoyable to see how he came to be who he is.

are you fucking serious ? a flashback with gaara ?
do they really think we care about gaara now ?

if they do a reworked series of naruto shippuden, like "dragon ball z kai", they should delete all flashbacks, fillers and useless episodes, this would transform naruto into a more supportable 100-150 episodes anime instead of 400.

I verified.
This whole episode is around 1-2 pages of the manga.

Actually, 450 episodes is totally possible.
I should drop the anime and read the manga instead.

I still can't believe they are doing flashbacks? Maybe it is because they are still working on minute details of the coming movie?

I guess that might be the reason why we are getting the Hanabi special next week because if I am not mistaken, she is in the movie.

Well no, I think this was the best of last 20-30 episodes and all these people writing that these suck are making me angry.

Nice to see a flashback from Gaara about Naruto. Naruto was his first friend that's why they are so closely. Doesn't have to been just like because they're jinchurikis but about their past was the same... It was the same pain. :(

They had the same past because hey were both jinchurikis :D If they weren´t they would have friends and would be happy...

What...? Did you somehow miss Obito vs Kakashi, the best fight since Madara vs Shinobi Alliance?

While we're on this, do you enjoy barely even recycled old content more than something new? I honestly still can't comprehend how such fans exist, but hey, to each his own.

WHAT? Gaara, Temari and Kankuro were siblings? WHAT? watf? I mean how? All these years I thought they're just teammates just like Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura but.. seriously? I never knew. damn.

Also I've just realized that Gaara has the same VA as Katsura from Gintama. That's nice.

Gaara is one of my favorite characters, but this flashback episode didn't add much content tbh. More of a recap than a flashback to something we didn't know before.
