it only seems like it is getting better. they are stretching it out too much. I would rather see fillers than see the main story get all stretched out like this.

I think Itachi and I deserve a pat on the shoulder for not falling asleep during all the TALKING.

Gai-sensei is funny. But maybe a little to funny.

that "You are...someone i've met before!" gag was funny in the manga. They overused it in this ep seriously...completely killed it.

i liked this episode even though nothing happened it actually kept my attention. probably because it's been awhile since i've read these chapters.

Overall, I liked it, although I wish they'd just get to it and start the Itachi fight. There was one part that made me lol irl, when Guy took Kisame's sword and surfed away on it, I almost busted a gut =þ

The best part was when Gai kicked him in the face, even though it was just a water clone. He got so upset after being kicked just once in their last fight, so I thought it was pretty hilarious.

The series is dragging, but it seems to be picking up. I think I prefer dragging to filler, after seeing how awful Naruto's filler could be.

I'm particularly fond of the one where Naruto has to chase down the ninja mailmen and the one with the cooking ninjas... =/

Oo, I know!~
Plus the whole Gai not being able to recognize Kisame was used as overkill..
Wonder how Naruto will get out of the genjutsu...

Oh my god, this episode was horrible. Never have I seen such slow fighting in an anime. Good god, I might as well drop this, and read the manga. I'll give the series a chance till episode 20.

Why is everyone so disappointed? These battles are intense! The story is intense! Gai's team is hilarious. We have no idea how Team Kakashi vs. Itachi will turn out. I'm pumped.

People are disappointed because they want, like 1 minute fights I guess. They always complain. IMO, this is epic, I don't care XD

It's like, the fight scenes are all they care about. A fight without these talks would be pointless and dumb. Imagine if they just suddenly started fighting. I know that they talk a lot, but hey.

I was hoping we would see some of Neji's new skills, but with this speed it will take 20 episodes for him to do something.

This was so funny episode with some serious atmosphere. I swear if it wasn't for the music this eppisode would have been legit hilarious.

I bet Kisame was wishing he was a fire element user instead of water in order to set Gai on fire
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

You'd assume it'd be pretty hard to forget fighting someone like Kisame.

This was good,but damn Guy,stop using that joke 1000 times.It was funny the first time,but then it became lame.They really need to focus on one fight and not changing it several times like they have been doing until now....
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

finally battle, really don't care they drag the battle a little (though it's seems mystery to me since that time the manga was already 3 arc forwards ><).

kisame battle was more interesting for the meanwhile, took time for itachi battle to change gears.

Aye team Guy's in danger. Looks like Naruto is also caught in Itachi's genjutsu.

Dang Guy just keeps roasting Kisame lol.

It's incredible how little can happen in a 23 minute episode of shonenslop. People just staring at eachother and monologing for 90% of the runtime before finally having some bare minimum of """"action"""" near the end. It's like a parody of itself.

I love how Itachi used San and Kun and addresses people respectively. Makes him look super badass. Naruto got put under genjutsu lets see what happens. Kisame's fight is really good as well Guy sensei LMFAO forgetting everytime. Also looks like Kakashi has something this time around.
