Wow have you forgotten Kakashi Gaiden?

Anyway AMAZING episode, definetly one of the best animated ones, I'm just worried they are not going to continue with this animation for the rest of the fight... oh well, let's just hope there will be one more epic episode in this fight with the animation as good as this one.



No, as seen in the preview. The very ugly smoke and effects during jiraiya's huge rasengan, means its gonna be another crap animated episode. And that's the episode the real fight starts.

They are so cheap that they do 1 ep of good animation. While japanese animators are prob cheaper then american

I'm so glad the anime is getting better again and I hope they'll keep up with the quality.
I love the opening more and more, as expected from Flow.

Hmmm, weird!!

so, everyone liked this ep??!

I actually gave this ep 2/5, I thought it was retarded, Jiraiya running for his Sage mode to activate ... and a clumsy frog above all of it for one of the Legendary Sannin??!

even if it was original, I would say that it completely sucked and was stupid >_>.

Now, next ep is gonna be something .. I mean the real fight would begin in it, not like this one ...

The last mins were great after the activation of the Sage mode, I would have criticised the recalls of the Great Toad, but I think it was necessary ^ ^

I think Shippuuden has finally stated to pick up again after 18 months of filler and slow paced crap episodes. This fight is one of my favourite fights in manga ever and they've animated it well so far.

there is hardly possible for that theory to be correct, since the manga hadn't come this far when that filler episode was made. In other words, the anime productors couldn't possibly know that there were gonna be a chameleon later on in the series! on the other hand, there COULD be a chance that Kishimoto got the idea about the chameleon from seeing that episode himself:p thats the only possible way that there is a link between that filler and this episode.

That's actually a good theory. You misunderstood; that's what she's saying, is between that filler and when that chapter was released, there was plenty of time for her theory to take place. So yeah, she's talking about the last part of what you said.

They should learn from Letter bee, animation quality is so much better. The way in which fighting scenes are now done looks so cheap this is mainly because of the angles and the distence is differnet to what it used to be, you only have to look at older episodes of naruto like the zabuza arc to see this.

Well this is what Naruto is meant to be all about, with these kind of episode, the lackluster story telling and animation is all forgotten. The story has become so diverse now, much poignancy is going to be felt for Jiraiya in the next two episodes.

This episode was great, I loved the fights, even though there was repetition of "I guess im just clumsy" it was still a great joy to watch, Pain is so mysterious and whats with Jiraiya turning into a toad, he looks awfully similar to a DBZ character in the Freeza saga. forgot his name lol. Can't wait for next week!

Minus
I hate how they only have good quality once in a while, especially when it's in the middle of something. The ending of the fight would have been more appreciated. And no pointless long-spun flashbacks. I'm so sick of them, they're everywhere, all the time in Naruto. In both anime and manga.
Filler fighting, but it looked good.
And the supporting characters have been there forever. Why don't we know more about them? Yey on Iruka in the ED
Plus
I like the new opening and ending very much ^^

It was a good episode. Wasn't as excited about it though as the last episode. Too filled in and not fast-paced enough. Animation was nice though. Hopefully next episode is a little more fast paced.

I think it's just me, but the scene where Jiraiya's running and waiting for the sages to be summoned really reminded me of the animation typical of Studio Ghibli...
Great episode; I'm really glad I picked this anime up again :D

Lol now the Elderly woman & man frogs are back. They're hilarious..
the fight so far has been good..
but Jiraiya thought he could take down just one Pain.
Now he has to deal with all 3. >:D!

His animation style is unique. It brought back memories of Naruto vs Sasuke at the waterfall.

That aside, I really liked this episode, because it didn't drag on Naruto's emoness.... Can't wait to see the next one.

Took so long to call forth those two Sages... so yeah, I'm sure it'll be worth it. >D

The great animation continues! :D And... I have to say, Jiraiya running from those explosions was pretty comical... Though I am wondering, at this point, what Jiraiya was asking as well: Why isn't Pain himself actually fighting him and just throwing a bunch of Summons around? (From the looks of the end of this episode, though, perhaps Pain is actually going to start doing something...)

A battle of summons, pretty cool. Like Jiraiya's, I think it is strange that Pain is only using summons to attack. My only real complaint is about that damn flashback about Jiraiya training Nagato.

It was the same scene that was shown a few episodes back during Jiraiya's backstory special. It wasn't a flashback like you are probably thinking, I should have said it was a "repeating scene".

Ohh yeah i see what you mean. Yeah their tends to be an overabundance of recaps in the series, where as the manga only shown this once. Kind of a minor complaint.
