God I love Sai. He's just pure win in every way. The series has jumped from a 6 to an 8 just because of my love for him.

God I hate Sai. He's pure emo and fail and asshole in every way. This series is still sitting at a 7 mostly because of my hate for him and Sasuke. ......and Tenten. But that goes without saying.

They picked a pretty bland voice for Yamato, but I suppose it suits him alright. On with the story!

p.s. DB is trying too hard, changing 'weak' into 'pussy'.

Pretty good episode, but its mostly about the introduction of Sai and Yamato. So yeah they'd have to do that first in this arc. But yeah guess allot of kyuubi and hot water springs. Hope it doesn't take to much time to get to the real action parts.

Bad filler- usually the fillers develop the characters a bit or are funny. I didn't think this episode did much at all to move the story along.

I just don't ferking understand, the manga is so far ahead. They don't have to filler everything. Look at one piece, its in a filler ark right now, but it won't last to long, and its not that bad. But wants it gets into the main storyline again, it moves good.

Good episode but they could have put alot more into it. Sai just stands there and smiles that was great...(and his comment to naruto was long awaited for!) Ino was just there to say hi. shes such an air head!

people this episode was not a filler, a filler is when an episode branches out from the main story line, but naruto hasn't yet it is still on the same story line as the manga

im going to drop my rating of this series,
great potential, but they are milking every conversation, and every situation.

this episode sucked, no progression, took 20 mins to assign him 2 new members, which we all knew would happen before the episode started.

We aren't dealing with the manga here. This IS the anime topic after all. And since the last few years of Naruto anime have been weak at best. All the complaining is more then justified.

Eh, the episode was alright~
Sai seems like a cool character, however I feel that they didn't need to take the entire episode to introduce Yamato and Sai... I wish they didn't have to drag out each episode - the manga is well ahead anyways... O_e

I like Sai :) which is interesting cause he's not likeable and I usually don't like non-likeable characters (i.e. that wouldn't be likeable irl) that much. He's interesting though.

Liked the episode too, wasn't bothered by the pacing.

Sai is part of the team, an so is Yamato, and they are both ANBU, and Sai has some secret mission to accomplish... Also, Danzou may be a bad guy....

I don't see why people are calling this filler. We got a lot of background information on Tsunade's job as Hokage and the conflict she faces with Naruto harboring the nine tailed fox. We also have two new characters that are going to be major players in this arc. I would say it was pretty productive.

HAHA.
The first two comments in this thread: "God, I love Sai." and "God, I hate Sai."
BAHAHAHA. I really liked Sai in the manga so we'll see if I like him in the anime. So far, I don't have any complaints.

Another one of my favorite characters has joined the anime realm: Yamato.
SCARY FACE SENSEI. He's got no chill and already can tell that he won't have an easy time with his new team. HAHAHA.

Thinking back to the first episode when they showed us Sasuke meeting Naruto again I didn't think it would take this long to actually meet him, but at least their almost on their way.

That point of that meeting was obviously to get Sai on the team. Hope he dies pretty soon.

Naruto is pretty weak, what did he do these 3 years?

Also not sure why Tsunade didn't immediately get rid of that annoying assistent of hers after going behind her back.

I understand why Shizune is worried but... Come on, even Tsunade knows what Naruto is cappable of doing. You should listen to your sensei and not talking behind her back. Also, the 5th hokage shows why she was chosen. She is very determined and I really like her character. My first impression on Sai: he looks and acts as a stupid. Hope he has a good reason. We will see. Good episode

Everybody can do the disappear jutsu but the main characters...seriously, how do these people just disappear out of thin air? You'd think this would be a rudimentary technique they would learn, but they always look dumbfounded when it happens.

It seems stupid that Tsunade has to "compromise" with anybody. She is in charge. Elders provide experienced opinions and select the Hokage but the Hokage should have absolute power.

good episode, shizuke became really less likeable in this ep, she really shouldn't have done that.

sai really creep me out, let's see where his character going.

i hope those 1chp per episode going to change, this arc is 3vol in the manga, there's no reason to drag too much, seriously...
