| I was disappointed with it too. They have TWO episodes to do stuff...and they did NOTHING after the first 5 minutes. Good lord, it's like fillers all over again...but they're thrown in with the actual plot. Fillers + plot = ungodly boring and long. |
| it was arite. probably necessary because it's been 2 years since actual plot was shown so i guess most ppl need a refresher. This better be it though, next episode I'll be less forgiving. |
| It was just as expected, although I thought the intro was out of place. Remember this is again akin to the first episodes in a brand new series. I think they did a good job of reintroducing the characters again and starting out the new plot. Although I would've liked to see all of the old characters introduced in the first two episodes to get that out of the way. |
| I like how 9 people vote, but only 4 reply...yay. Eh, I dunno if it was really necessary to re-introduce old characters. The manga didn't (well that's obvious, because there was never any "break"). All I know is that as soon as they make the first fillers for this, I'm dropping out. |
| I thought they will start with good ep but it turn out to be bad ep the two ep were nothing realy if they started with Kakashi fight that was going to be good Naruto is still boring. |
| Pretty much what I expected. The opening was surprising, just skipping an entire arc and going to the end of another one. I think it was a pretty solid in the beginning, but got a bit boring when they started the "welcome back" stuff, well at least the story isn't going to revolve around cooking ninjas and mail man ninjas now. |
  |
| pretty entertaining, we will see where it goes I Guess :) |
 |
| Oh, what I meant about reintroducing old characters is that since it's been 2.5 years now, they've grown up and have changed their appearance. So I'm saying reintroducing as seeing their new look. |
| lol, I thought it was fine....What exactly was wrong with it? Basically everything in the episode was in the manga so.....*shrug* |
 |
| According to some people, and DB(Somewhat), there are still more filler eps. At least 2. |
 |
| ...That wasn't filler though... |
|
| i liked it can't wait to see more of it |
 |
| it was ok, i have a feeling that instead of having fillers, they are gonna stretch out this arc as much as they can |

I agree 100%~ |
| I just started today i thought it was pretty good the scenes with Naruto & Sakura were pretty funny even the part where their young versions of themselves from the original Naruto were on there |
 |
| Some parts were really hilarious! "Ero-jutsu"!!!! LOL |
 |
| I liked it. I thought it was a good first half not the best start to a new series but still good. |
 |
| Great!! the re-introducing thing really rocks, especially how they really change from season 1 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Ooh, so looking forward to the arc of where they showed that intro. :3 And Konohamaru grown up. <3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| hm being honest it was a bit pretensive... this rapper Naruto style and all..lol but still i liked it, cause i needed a change of feeling in this series to get my interest back on it. so yeah overall it was pretty cool and nice for a change. the letter thing was a bit off and distracting....where they spelling shippuden? they stopped with the "u" ... so i guess i'll see more spelling stuff in the 3rd ep. u-d-e-n. ok.. not bad as a thought but it felt out of place a little... ~the part with the ぷ (pu) with Kakashi, Jiraya and the animals was kinda hilarious i admit! :P ~ all in all i'm excited for this new beginning and will stick with it for now.. |

| I don't understand why people's responses to this are so lukewarm... I loved it! But maybe I'm just more forgiving if things aren't really fast-paced than most and I shouldn't hold that against anybody. |

| Just saw episode 1 (only).Was a nice episode,I loved how they adapted shippuden.The whole feel of naruto was kept even with the filler parts of the episode.Looking forward to the rest of the series. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I thought this episode was okay when I saw it. At this point, Sasuke coming home seems like some far off dream. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Oh, I see how this is going to go.. I'm going to like an episode only to come to these forums and hear people bitch about "slow pacing" and shit like that... I, for one, enjoyed this. Though, I'll have to see more to have a concrete judgment. |

I, for one, enjoyed this. Though, I'll have to see more to have a concrete judgment. This first arc (especially the first fight) I really enjoyed it, but somehow a lot of people seem to have disliked the pacing, which I honestly don't understand, my greater complains come much later, not now where it's pretty good. |
 |
| Finally, finally, finally Shippuuden! I'm so gonna watch the whole series, it's going to be awesome. I hope, it won't dissappoint me. :D |
| Good, nothing more, nothing less. I was just hoping they would carry that cinematic feel from the intro a bit more! |
| Here we go |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| I think this is a great start! Loved the pacing and glimpse of the future! |
 |
| This episode was a refreshing breeze compared to all the filler I just trudged through. I kind of wish those first ten minutes were cut and kept when that scene actually happens chronologically, but I guess it was a good call to get viewers that hadn't already read the manga really interested. |

| XD Was looking forward to them but found this website http://www.narutohq.com/naruto-shippuden-fillers.php so now I can basically skip all of them. Shit is pretty helpful |

| Sugoi!!!I can't accustom the new appereance of Naruto and the others character but from the first minutes we see how the story will be in few episodes i can't wait to watch the next episodes. |
| Alright! Here we go, Shippuuden! Nice start so far, nice to see how two years have changed some things.. and how it hasn't! Lmao |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Eh,I liked it.The reunion was better than the departure and the beginning was awesome!!! Can't wait to see what happens next. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
