It was so sad.
It really was slow, but I loved this episode anyway.
And the anime finally arrived to Pein.

Honestly, I liked how this episode turned out. I mean, if it's Naruto, it has to be slow paced. It's better to spend time slowly on important events like this, than to drag out the fight even more than they already did.

4/5


fights don't have to be dragged out either, that's just a bs excuse for the show. the objective of a good show is to be continually entertaining from start to finish, and if it can't achieve that they shouldn't be making more episodes. cut out a lot of the rubbish and make more stuff happen in one episode so the plot actually keeps going. and if it's too behind on the manga, they shouldn't even be airing the show yet. that's the problem with some of this mainstream anime like naruto and bleach

Okei. A really stretched out episode.

I also wondered why they didn't showed it in the end that Shikamaru took the cigarette of Asuma and smoked.

But, he coughed and he really can't take the cigarette. Yeah, that's more dramatic in the manga. In this episode, he just tell us that he really hates smokes and cigarettes.

Oh well, next episode. Probably, it will be shown. When he visits Kurenai and Asuma's grave, he'll smoke. ^^

Despite the opinions of the majority - I felt that this episode was great :)
Sure we saw Hidan and Kakuzu leave for the whole extraction of the bijuu and then the rest of the episode was all about Asuma - however I didn't mind it. It was sweet how he talked to each of them about their individuals strengths and managed to put humor into. Anyways - I liked the episode and it did make me sad.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Wow, I actually thought that was a good episode. To all those calling it 'emo', emotional means an inclination towards excessive emotion. I don't think it is excessive to be that upset about someone dying.

Sad episode, give Asuma his due.

The anime did alot better of a job leading up to his death in the filler arc and this but still the manga is better.

Did they cut out Shikamaru smoking? If so that ruins my favorite moment from all of Naruto.

I think they over did the drama and particularly flashbacks just a bit but still it was a good episode.

That was really touching.
It's amazing how they can put so much feeling in the death of Asuma, which is a character that appeared few times in the whole anime(s).
Almost made me cry... *.*

Asuma's thought pattern: What, they're not crying enough! There's even a convenient rain cloud that came overhead on a completely sunny day! Don't wanna waste the opportunity. Time for a cigarette!

I thought the episode was done really well. We haven't had much development on Asuma's role as the leader of Team 10 so it definitely made the moment more emotional.

The death of Asuma made me sad and I think the episode was perfectly emotional, not too little and not too much (for my taste). And I guess the people who binge watch this anime (as I did) and who watched the previous filler ark remember / know more about Asuma and so are more touched by his death ...

Well damn, Rest in Peace Asuma sensei... I didn't really mind this entire episode being dedicated to Team 10 and Asuma's dynamics, I think it elevated the impact, however, it would've been really great if Shikamaru did smoke..

Also, good to finally see one of the most famous characters of the series, Pain!
