THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
These flashbacks are rather nostalgic. Remember when Itachi and Kisame first attempted to "capture Naruto"? Yeah..

Up to the point of Itachi's ultimate sacrifice, I think this episode covered his story. Nothing really new though from what we've seen before. Glad to see the main arc return on the battlefield again. Zetsu looking creepy as hell

About time Kaguya finally showed up!

Poor Madara, he was betrayed just like he did to Obito.
Kaguya is here, finally.

Yooo that OST when Kaguya was coming. Great stuff.

This Itachi arc has been awesome, really sad to see Itachi's PoV during his fight with Sasuke in part 1.

Next week we fully return to canon, and new opening as well, probably last one, hope its epic.

Honestly that OST gave me the chills since a really long time, didn´t expect that from the series. But I doubt anyone is surprised about the plottwist at this point.
Anyway I´ve got the volumes lying around and compared. They adapted 1 1/2 epsiodes for half of this. So 3 chapters per episode and if we´re lucky and they extend the fights we may see 12. 3 months worth of canon and end the series somewhat gracefully in Augsust to replace it with something else.

It's possible the extend it even more and give Kaguya some more backstory so that it airs until October.

Finally Kaguya shows her self. Notice though how when the series changed from the itachi arc to the kaguya arc, the budget and quality dropped.

I'm glad that Mugen Filler no Jutsu is finally over..... well, at least temporarily. You never know with Pierrot.

Those nostalgic Itachi moments served as a reminder as to why he's my favorite Naruto character. God I was fighting back tears....

Anyway, FINALLY canon is back. Pierrot, please please I beg just adapt the rest with no filler, I don't care if some fights are extended or there are extra moments that weren't in the manga, but please no more fillers. I don't want the May episodes to all be canon then we go back to filler for 5 more months. I personally thought the Kaguya fight was the most underwhelming fight of the entire series, so I'm not too excited about it. It'll be nice to see it animated though. Also, I'm hyped for the new AKFG OP next week! It might just be the final OP so hopefully it's amazing!
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Well Itachi arc was more like recap of everything we saw already , only few new things about akatsuki and what Itachi was talking to himself in Konoha..

If Kaguya showed up , I feel one more Filler arc in the future , with Kaguya's life and early stages of this world :') Madara is a pawn.. Maybe then Kaguya is also a pawn of somebody ?:D Hope this chain stops here..

Nice Itachi montage in the first half, Thought they would run it for the entire episode but this was nice even though it felt rushed.

Finally back to canon!! I seriously hope there are no more fillers.
We're half way through chapter 679, Even if they adapt at 2 chapters per episode we've got about 10-12 episodes left assuming we don't get any fillers.

Can't wait to see the rest of Naruto animated :D

I enjoyed this Itachi backstory. Nice to see that the second-half of the episode was canon. And next week's episode will also be canon, so we'll be getting our first completely canon episode of the year.

So yeah, Kaguya's finally here, and we are back to canon material for now. But I've heard about filler episodes involving Kaguya will start airing sometime later this year. Pierrot really should start wrapping this series up.

I don't think we gonna have another filler now until chapter 699. But between 699 and 700, they would probably do adaptations of the others Light Novel and fillers showing the life of Naruto before the birth of Boruto/Sarada/Himawari.

It's interesting seeing things from Itachi's point of view. He must have been hurting so much while beating up Sasuke.

And I don't believe it, I saw Madara in 2016. Also, the greatest con of all time was played on Madara.

Kaguya! Yes, the original Naruto taste and suspense. Give me more please. Don't ever ever go on fillers again.

I think you can rest easy, the announcement said they are going into the final battle of the arc, so if there is any other filler, it will be after the manga story has concluded and by then people won't give a shit bout this series any more.

Well i guess but he was a big part of the entire war, so its not like he didn't get enough screen time. It just kind of feels like that, because we been in filler hell for so damn long, we forgot about madara and right when we see him again, BAM he's gone.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to an epic fight between Madara and Naruto, but then Kaguya stole the show and made a fool out of Madara.

It was heartbreaking to watch that grouping of Itachi flashback scenes from his PoV. While he brutalizes Sasuke we can hear his thoughts plead for forgiveness... AHHH THE PAIN!!! The conclusion of his arc right in the middle of the ep was...I have mixed feelings...

I get the transition of all of that to Sasuke's decisions in the present and YAY WE ARE FREED FROM THE FILLER AT LAST!!! but...

I can't believe I'm going to say that I wish the transition to the present/war arc/Kaguya was done at the very end of the ep instead of dividing it in half. Please don't hate me! *cowers*

It made Itachi's end feel even more horrible. I know that's the point and I get the idea behind the transition, but I felt so incredibly sad and then it was like NEEDLE RIPS ACROSS THE RECORD AND WE ARE IN THE PRESENT. JAGGED AF.

I can't believe I'm like, "More filler, please!" but Itachi's character is so important and the way this episode "wrapped it up" smack in the middle felt awful. I know that's how we're supposed to feel about Itachi's life and death but...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EP BEFORE A COMMERCIAL BREAK NO NO NO!!! THE PAIN!!! >O<

I guess since I've watched every Naruto everything I'm probably used to the filler but...I never liked it! (Except that one ep where they try to find out what's under Kakashi's mask - that was hilarious and I loved every second.) This is the one time I was hopeful for the filler and [INSERT RANT HERE]. While this arc certainly had it's moments, it could have been so much more. </3

I wanted to feel like HALLELUJAH like I did at the end of every other filler but...nope. I just feel sad. I'll be all excited for next week's ep but...not right now.

Itachi's Arc was one of the best, if not the only really good fillers in Naruto Shippuden, it made me love Itachi, one character I never was really into, now he is one of my favorite characters.
It was really good to see things in his perspective, and how he loved Sasuke and remembered him in every moment of his life. Great to see that scene when Itachi dies again, that fight was reaaaaally good, and that moment was beautiful.

Yeah, that was surprisingly abrupt. They kinda rushed to the end of that so we could return to the present.

Now to the present! The fight is back and now with Kaguya (her OST was awesome, I want that!). I'm really excited to see the next episodes!!

Good ol' Pierrot mixing in filler episodes into canon ones so it makes it way harder to skip fillers for people coming into the series.

Good to see it back regardless, though I already know the filler will be back soon since the Kaguya backstory part is coming.

Damn Madara was making a point about peace the entire time but it was not ideal. But after black zetsu betrayed him I couldn't help to feel bad. Hoping this will be an epic battle with, dare I say, no f-words.

The transition between filler and canon was awful, though Kaguya's rebirth was handled well.

Honestly, there's no such thing as too much Itachi.

I was honestly more heart broken seeing madaras dream fall apart than watching the itachi flashbacks for the umpteenth time.
"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are, and i am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and i get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but i occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last checkup."

I really don't like the way they concluded the Itachi arc. The pacing felt great all the way up until he joined the Akatsuki, then super rushed from then on. I wanted more backstory about what he was doing and how he really felt about it.

It was nice getting some inner monologue out of such a mysterious character. Especially on scenes/situations we had previously seen countless times.

I suppose it is better than them creating tons of nonsensical storylines for him, just to pad things out. But there were certain events I would've liked to have his perspective on. Especially in relation to his brother.

Oh well, what's done is done. Glad the fillers are over and hope the show can finally finish gracefully. Because these many months of fillers have further tarnished the show for me.

Holy shit, the fillers are over! Black Zetzu reveals that Black Zetzu is Kaguya's will. And Kaguya kills Madara! She only had used Madara like he used Obito. For this, she had changed the stone tablets from Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths. May the battle begin: All left survivors of the world vs. Kaguya!
