Ugh. Crap. Absolute crap. Terrible animation, boring fight scenes. What is wrong with this series? They took everything that made Naruto enjoyable (during the first 130 episodes of the first season) and tossed it in the toilet! *sighs*

keeps getting worse... movement's lack realism, battles lack speed, dialogs lack interest, background music lacks tension... did I miss something?

Seems like producers done fillers for so long that it started getting into their bones.

It appears now that Gaara has the ability to move in the air now 0_0 and i can tell you i sure expected that one. and i'm starting to hate this Clone justsu stuff, they're using that ability too much and it's getting quite annoying.

I was right. I just started re-reading the manga again. Naruto does NOT do any of those shitty attacks that the Anime is showing. He doesn't use Rasengan in the manga, and he doesn't do that huge kage bushin worthless fight. The Anime is destroying how cool Naruto really has become after he comes back.

*sighs* Manga ftw.

Well you get your hopes filled in the first 2mins of ep. 1. And then the next 40mins actually go well 'cause you still remember the first 2. Then receive a bag full of crap in ep. 3 and a truck full in ep.4

At least that's my opinion.. and I don't think it's too far from the truth..

i would agree with everyone here, except on the animation part. i think the animation style rivals movie animation, which is a good thing. they are taking a long time, and too much talking in one show maybe they will change that in the future. i think, so far, for the most part, its ok though. nothing for me to get mad about

I think the main problem with the scores right now are that people who would normally score low aren't (because they're waiting for more episodes to be released). I'm gonna score it at a 6 for now.

This episode reminded me of the filler episodes from before. It was too slow. For a story to be effective it needs to have a good pace and that was clearly lacking. Gaara's fight with the Akitsuki was unimpressive and nothing new aside from the fact that Gaara can move more sand then before. Hopefully the episodes will finally learn to play the story instead of adding unnecessary scenes.

i gave it a 6 too although i expect it to become even better in the later episodes

those who've read the manga boasts a lot on how great naruto shippuuden is.. let's see if the anime will really turn out like it.

Eh, the episode was okay~
Admitedly, Deidara and Gaara's fight wasn't as amazing as expected. It was somewhat clever how Sakura and Naruto got the bells from Kakashi - but other than that, everything is way too slow paced.

Oh my god the pacing is toooooo slow, It may be faster to just read the manga. In fact I think I'll read the manga with the episodes playing in the background and tune in whenever I hear fighting or awesome characters like Kakashi. At least this way I won't feel like I'm wasting my time. LOL Kayrhandros your naruto staff meeting was hilarious, too bad its probably true.

Not bad, though the pacing is definitely slower than the original series. It's no worse than One Piece though.

But, I do dislike how the two of them beat Kakashi.

It was really good. Understandably slower since people don't want a hell lot of meaningless fillers thrown in all over again. Gaara's become somewhat cool.

this episode was kind of slow, but it's to be expected at some points. I seriously wish it wasn't this early though :/ on another note, the "final showdown" with Kakashi and Naruto was really clever and hilarious. I guess Naruto's gained some wit since the beginning of the series as well, which is really interesting to see.
