I didn't quite like the episode myself, but since I really like Lee and Guy sensei I had to watch it. I always loved those 2.
Next episode seems...bad. VERY bad. But I'll probably still watch it since it has Shikamaru in it. Curse me and my favorites list.

Glad Lee surpassed Chen's Leaf Dragon God. Happy he found peace and moved on. Hmm next week the kid looks creepy but that could all change.

I don't really give a shit. As long as they do a good job on the canon story when it comes up, they keep filler going for another 3 months for all i care. Just get their ducks in a row, don't rush things, have proper material to work with and good production and directing, thats really all that counts.

It is looking like to me since their is so much filler right now, that the next main part of the canon story is going to be very consistent, probably following the manga on the key all the way through to the end possibly and with out padding out the story which is a damn good thing, this war arc better go out with a bang and not be ruined by filler and i think the studio is taking that into consideration, being the fact that the manga is near its climax and during its most critical moments in the story.
Besides if their was filler coming up, it would be almost impossible to pull off in the middle of the canon story, they are taking this moment since their is a break in the war to get their filler in before things get hectic. The only possibly way they would be able to insert filler in between the next canon like story, is if i they just completely dismissed the war entirely and started a new arc and break the entire flow of the story like bleach. But naruto has never done that so i don't believe thats going to happen, so i guess thats a good thing.

Yeah, I totally agree. ^^

So, in June, no more fillers? :D

Overall this episode was okay. I had to LoL when I noticed the Riceballs, because I had just sat down with My riceballs to watch the episode. xD

Going by the site I follow to keep up on ep titles, as of this episode there were 130 filler episodes out of the 312 Shippuuden episodes. So, not fully 50/50 yet, but then, fillers didn't start until the 57th episode, so the canon storyline has a 1-year advantage over the filler.

Seriously, I know fillers are necessary evil , but the way Naruto anime handles it makes me hate their staff. I had it on-hold 40 episodes ago, now after continuing it's so disappointing to see that there're only about 5 episodes from main story line.

Manga already has alot of content ahead now, but seems they still want to do crappy fillers. Maybe if they bring some lengthy filler arc, instead of 1-2 random episodes it wouldn't suck so much, it seems to work for other anime but I don't remember naruto ever doing it. Time to put it on hold again...sigh.

Obviously you haven't seen naruto if you don't think it has filler arcs. Unless your speaking of the original naruto series, cause shippuuden has lots of anime exclusive filler arcs and yeah they are better then this 1-2 episode crap just being used to pad out the main story.

True dedicated naruto fans will be rating this show great and then criticise this arc for being one of the worst LOL. Its a shame to because in the manga, this arc is probably one of the best written arcs in the story line.

People came to watch the story of kishimoto, not some random episode where they degrade characters. They said that old man is a legendary hero of the leaf but he spams only 1 move.

LOL man, they are really ruining such a great series, i feel so sorry for people that have to be tortured by this shit.

Because right now the manga has just reached such epic proportions unlike anything you have ever seen before in naruto (chapter 630, OMG MAN lol) and i hope to god the studio doesn't milk this ark and fck up the pacing and the story.

I just hope that when canon does finally return that its a full run to the end with out any BS filler.

Alright Episode!!!

I liked the Old Master Chen and his technique 'Leaf Dragon God'. It seems like this was a very important time for Lee to demonstrate that he is a capable shinobi and the bond he has with Guy is as amazing as always. Not too bad for a filler episode and was quite enjoyable.

Looking forward to the weather techniques used in the next episode!!

5/5
