 |
| The subbed version has been out for at least 4 hours, if not more... No idea why it didn't appear on DB's site though (it was subbed by them.) You can find it on various streaming sites... |
| There were two episodes this week? |
 |

| Yeah I also noticed that sudden drop in animation quality but otherwise, one near-perfect special. The only bad moments were the dragged out explanation in the 1st eps and the pointless flashback in the 2nd eps. ^_^ |

| The episode was good- but I dont get how Hidan get to the wood which noone but Shikamaru clan members can enter in the first place... |
 |
| they added quite a bit of fillers though. yey, we finally got to see hinata...weeee |
| Was a very good episode but i thought there could have been more in it tho, not much really happened but i guess it makes me look forward to the next episode. |
| And Ino is STILL useless >.> |
| ^ lol you telling me Both Ino and Chogi, werent they left behind to be Kakashi's back up...when did they even BACK HIM UP !? lol Awesome ep new technique is pretty awesome, but still needs help of the clones =.= lol new arc is pretty wicked, and they'll be focusing on another squad which is pretty awesome. |
 |
| that was an unexpectedly great episode,but they kinda drag it. the sleeping part was hilarious. |
 |
| can't wait for the new arc!!! |
 |
| Since this arc started Naruto anime is getting better a lot. Did they actually hired a better writer and animator? The preview of the new arc "Three Tails" somehow look kind of interesting even thought it is a filler arc. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| really good special...maybe the best Naruto special this year. It was pretty well paced, and didn't give us flashbacks we had seen. Second the obvious decline in animaition, but surprising things happened, and <gasp> has Naruto actually developed his character (which I thought had grown between the timeskip, but not really). |
| WHOOOAAAAAA, Fucking awesome nice episode..... seriously the best special BIG TIME of naruto shippuuden. Way to go Shikamaru, awesome plan !! And doh.... that's why I tell ya.... It's akatsuki you're up against n00bs, cut of their heads just to make sure or inconvenience them or w/e , should've just banged up Kakuzu's body a bit when he was ''unconscious'' on the ground !!! Yeah wauw indeed, never imagined Naruto's personality with his rushing in ''tactic'' was gonna change , liking the new Naruto :p |
| i think the only 1 hour special i've really enjoyed from start to finish and yea even though there was some filler parts but it still stuck to the manga storyline and was really good!! also after this fight it will be.... |

| I really start to hate the flashbacks :/ Everything else was great. |

| lol i wonder if that was on purpose with the jigoku shoujo reference. although a conversation like that could probably take place in a situation like that without meaning anything. |

I noticed that too. But it can possibly be something that Japanese people generally say. Actually now that i think about it even in my country they say that when you dig someones grave is like you are digging your own also. |
reaght said: 2 eps of great quality, really enjoyed it. next arc seems nice...i haven't read the manga but it didn't look like filler to me That was because Pierrot got smart about 20 episodes back when they showed the three-tails battle. In the anime episode, they just never finished the battle. However, in the manga, she gets offed, and we see it. It's their way making April fool's come in December by saying "Hey, this isn't filler! Just Kidding! XD" Meh, at the very least, they made it look epic, so it might not be that bad. I'm all for fillers that don't suck. I'm all against fillers that do suck. |
radiantfire said: Still, it'll be nice to see a three tails arc. The Deidara and Tobi combination is definitely a watch. Just lame how Konoha has to be in everything. i guess Konoha is kinda like the USA in that aspect... lol. just kidding but anyways Awesome episode... Naruto is back to being his badass self like he used to be in the original. I get the same feeling the original rasengan gave me when watching him develop and now even use the new one. So overall he has 4 rasengan's now: the original, fuuton rasengan, Oodama rasengan (useless now), and soon to be labeled as forbidden jutsu - Fuuton, Rasen-Shuriken. and hes only half way done with it! shiit... lame to hear about the filler... i always hate filler b/c nothing cool or exciting ever happens... no new techniques... no big fights... nada... its all just lame crap that you've seen before... far from the awesomeness of this hour special. WHY THE FILLER? I feel like i'll be watching naruto until im like 25 due to all this filler and pacing problems... and i'm 20. |
| then just drop it >.> im glad everyone is asking Konoha to do stuff, or else we would just watch naruto catching cats all the time >_> dont u want to watch the powerfull battles? AND U ALL SUCK!!! NARUTO IS TEH BEST!!! |
resilent said: The New Arc looks interesting.kisami said: yey, we finally got to see hinata...weeee Exactly what i was thinking, was hoping that when the other group came to "save the day" that the other team would be there too, then it got me to wondering what they were up to at the moment (think we've seen hinata like once or so through shippuuden?) Super jazzed to see she'll be included into the new arc going by the preview =) Great ep though, and noticed the animation change/slip there too ._.; quite amusing. |
 |
| I really wish they would have kept the CG background. That really added something to the action scenes. Are they really going to do another filler arc? |
| ... |
| I love it when Hidan and Kakuzu finally realize how much they underestimated the genius of Shikamaru. He's just too awesome. Naruto seems like he's actually turning out to be pretty kickass besides relying on just his nine-tails for once. Can't wait to see how he will use that awesome technique. |
 |
| the new arc definitely looks better than the random crappy mission filler we usually get... but as some other guys said.. a filler is a filler we won't get anything new -__-.. nice ep.. but it sucks that we get an episode like that once in 3 years... we should be having this kind of action every frigging week -___- |
 |
| aw.... the one i watched didn't have a preview/ i turned it off before the preview(don't know which) now i'm gonna have to go find the thing(how troublesome XD) cause everyone's talking about it. |
 |
| awesome |
| The measure of a true shinobi is not how he lived but how he dies |
| Great episode, it really showed that brains > power... Shikamaru is pure genius, and such a lazy one as well :p |
| this is probably the only episode in the entire series so far, that I have no complaints about. it was very true to the source material, the animation was at least above average by this show's standards, and of course, Hinata appearing in a side story. can't get any better than that. :D |
    |
| Orochimaru in the previews!!!! another filler arc though -_- but wth GREAT EPISODE!! Sayonara Hidan.... |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Not as good as the first part of the special but still pretty good. The flashbacks were annoying and the deer were really creepy. |
 |
| Here comes the fillers... at least Hinata gets some screen time. |
 |
| that technique.... holy sh*t they really did it justice in the anime! edit: Oh but I am NOT looking forward to them over extending a minor part of the story like they are about to do. An arc about the 3-Tails, are you kidding?! |

 |
| Maybe they'll be smart and only have the 3 tails in one episode... Or maybe they won't. :P Hopefully it won't be too long because they also showed clips of Orochimaru and Sasuke that looks straight from the manga. |
Arcanus said: And Ino is STILL useless >.> *nods* Yay! New arc! We'll finally get to see Hinata! We've only seen her... what? once before? >.< (and we're at ep. 87 ¬¬) I can't wait!! =) |
    *^*Random Rant*^* |
| Liked it veeery much. ^^ Technique looked interesting too and that preview/spoiler thingy at the end of the episode intrigued me very much. ^^ [there where Tsunade sayed one thing about narutos new jutsu and where orochimaru appeared and some of akatsuki & stufff. ^^ coolies. 8] ] |
