What has become of Shippuuden...so many flashbacks...just get to the point and follow the manga. Fillers, flashbacks, fillers, flashbacks...so annoying.

Sasuke being all OP with his new eyes. Although this episode was mostly comprised of flashbacks it didn't bother as much as some other episodes.

Seems like they are going to add filler next episode to extend the Madara/Five Kage fight. Also plenty of flashback filler.

Oh well I guess it's better than just plain old filler that has nothing to do with the war.

this episode was almost as bad as the last manga chapter..extra pages being used for "narutos feelings" / flashbacks..whats a disgrace.

sasuke may look OP in anime but we all know he is SHIT compared to naruto in manga.

no PS for sasuke yet.

Next episode will be Madara wiping the floor with the kage with a side of flashback or will it be a flashback with a side of Madara wiping the floor with the kage?

They won't let the opportunity to drag an episode with flashback to pass for sure.

I think it's the latter. Naruto Shippuden never fail to disappoint :)

I skimmed through this episode a bit after some of those flashbacks since I remember it from the anime that aired years ago. Uh, there were only about 6-7 new original animation at the end with Zetsu I think.

Next time might be better with Madara in combat again although I do see more flashback scenes in that PV. Flashback city.

Well, ridiculous standard 15 minute flashbacks aside, this is an interesting turn of events. Seems Orochimaru had something big prepared, I wonder what it is. That demon face on the scroll probably means it's something powerful no doubt. Sasuke's hand me down eyes are extremely powerful, I wonder if Itachi and Sasuke are going to reunite.

Seems like in terms of power ups, Naruto is currently ahead of Sasuke, wonder if they do something to even it out.

Weak episode, could've ended the episode at a better spot. Either way, this episode needed a better execution, i.e. the flashbacks could've been handled better. 2/5 from me. Weakest canon episode in a long time.

From the preview, I can't see anything that I don't remember seeing in the manga, so no fillers (I think). Then again, it's been an year (maybe more) since I read this part in the manga, so I can't really say the preview held absolutely zero fillers.

Considering it's Madara's fight, most things other than flashbacks and standing around would be far too big for the preview.

Yeah Periot really is milking this for all its worth, The important part of this episode is their beginning to bring sasuke back into the picture.

I kind of already knew this episode was going to be a bit slow just based on what material its covering in the manga, but pretty soon they are focus primarily on sasuke and what his motives are and and taka after the kage and madara fight and thats when things get interesting. Though i am definitely waiting for the Tsuchikage to kick some ass. Will of stone!!

This one was actually pretty bad and normally i can stand flack backs here and their if they are a part of extended back story or are relevant to the war, but this was more like recap that we already know well bout. They did not just bring up that flashback from when sasuke and naruto broken their bonds? I mean serously? How many freaken times are they going to show that? lol

The important parts were pretty mysterious though, the scroll holds huge significance regarding the war and people are going to be quite surprised at the revelations that come.

But with all this recap and flashback its making really hard to follow an entertaining story. You just kind of had to pretend they don't exists or skip them. You take out all of the recap that was shown in this episode and thats pretty much what you got which was interesting material.

Next episode DOES seem like flashbacks a bit, but i do notice that it focuses on showing Onoki as a young kid, which never happened in the manga and thats not necessarily a bad thing, thats actually giving more background details on that specific characters so i think next episode is going to be pretty good. Its definitely primarily going to be focused on him, "The will of stone" you get to see him in action, out of all the 5 current gen kage's he is probably one my favorite.

You're mistaking something, the only filler in this episode was with Konohamaru and Karin, the rest of these "fillers" that you're (probably) talking about is called "flashbacks", which Naruto is already famous for.

Well last episode they gave us a recap on Naruto's story, so I suppose this episode they wanted to give us a recap on Sasuke's story. It was unnecessary though, with the only revelation this episode being Suigetsu and Jugo finding the scroll. They really should have ended the episode with what happened at the end of chapter 574, that would have been the greatest place to put a cliffhanger. Literally, the manga had me drop my shit when that happened at the end of the chapter.

This anime has been more inconsistent than usual recently. I mean you have the godly episode of Madara destroying the alliance, then you have a poorly animated episode after that, then you have a godly episode of Naruto fighting the jinchuuriki, then a shitty double episode of flashbacks, then a godly episode with Naruto turning bijuu, then shitty dragged out episodes with useless information and recaps. The quality of recent episodes is fluctuating so much. The scroll is too important to show in an episode like this; this episode was not worthy.

Everything in the flashback about the rock was in the manga.

EDIT: Just realized what I was talking about happened at the end of 575, my mistake.

In this episode i would not even categorize them as flash backs, more like recaps. It is absolutely the same material we have seen in the series, no change. Basically narrated recap which is unnecessary.

And its not just the fact of filler, padded out material or recap, etc. But its like this guys says, its been very inconsistent. I 100% agree. The series structure is just very poor, each episode ends on like a very awkward moment I have to noticed this as well, though this has not been going on through out the whole war, but it recently started right after all those fillers. The studio i guess is having some trouble trying to adapt the material properly.

Part of writing a good story is always leaving you with more. Thats the essential mechanic for good story telling, thats what cliff hangers are used for and its a way of building suspense for whats to come next.

Nope it will be the episode after the next one though provided they do not add any full filler episodes in between. My guess is the next episode is going to end on the cliff hanger with the ruinion of itachi and sasuke. Thats just a guess based on the pacing. That would be the way to do it, but since the series structured has been so inconsistent lately, i dont know.

I can't wait for the new opening though, 332 i think right? That would be next episode but im not entirely sure.

People the flash backs you see in next episode are not filler. Just because you see a flash back does not spell out "filler" ok. Better get used to it cause their is quite alot of "flash backs" coming up in the following episodes that is manga but in a good way, they help develop the characters and reveal more parts of the story such as

The preview for 325 had nothing but flashbacks, yet that episode was pretty much 99% action. What I'm trying to say is don't base stuff on the previews.
