Amazing fight, nonstop action and they didn't dwell on any of the techniques. I was so pumped that I needed to catch my breath at the end.

Animation sucks? are you guys serious. They hired a good animator for this one that has set part in a lot of great series. Ryo, and another one. Great animation TBH, especially if you've seen the last 60 Episodes of naruto.

I loved it, I watch every naruto ep even though the quality sucks, so it does me joy when I see an animation where the quality doesn't suck.

Plus its sasuke in a match. But yea, he is kinda using a lot of powers from others :

For example Itachi as far as I Know has done it with his own strength.. While sasuke's strenght is basiclly, Kakashi that thought him chidori (ok he could have learned this by himself) The sword he got from orichimaru, the moves/body he got from orichimaru, the curse seal he got from orichimaru

I mean.. It feels kinda unfair seeing him win in a way, as he borrowed so many powers and things to do so :

But awesome ep. Sucks I know a lot of spoilers about Tobi. I'm not saying btw.
And damn, Sasuka's expression was epic. Good to know he can be impressed by something lol.

best episode of Naruto: Shippuuden in a long time. I really hate this show in the fact that not all episodes are made like this. don't they have a crapload of money from the naruto franchise!? why not spend it on good animation!?


The thing is whenever a decision that involves managing money is done, it's done with good reasons behind it. It's not that studio Pierrot wants to screw fans over for doing half-assed animations, it's just that they can't afford to make good ones. Any sort of animated series is expensive to make, especially if it involves tidious, traditional drawings on thousands of dollars worth of traditional paper per episode.

Compared to American animators who I think have a $30,000-40,000 yearly salary, Japanese animators have about a 1-2 million yen salary, which in U.S currency roughly equals $10,000-20,000. Short answer: No, they don't have a crapload of money.

Though in this case, I may be wrong, but I think studio Pierrot had enough money to I guess recruit Norio Matsumoto and Noriyuke Matsutake to do the animations in the latest episode, just as how they pulled through with certain earlier episodes in the Naruto franchise.

You're right, japanese animators don't earn that much at all, while their 10x better then the americans. And by seeing how famous Naruto is, I think they should be able ot hire more good animators more often \:

The thing I'm worried about for the next episode, is that it won't be half as well animated as this one. I doubt there gonna have the same team work on the next one, even though the next one might become a big episode as well.

I also agree that Japanese animators don't get paid as much as they deserve and that they get paid way less than American animators do, but Naruto isn't just a regular anime, it's the biggest most famous international anime. This is why i think they must have a larger than normal budget to make the anime but the art sure doesn't show it.

As for next episode's art, I think the good art will continue until the fight is over. it's going to be sad when it ends. I'll be like this

It didn't have good art no. It had very high quality animation though. The dudes don't specialize in art, plus it seems harder to draw in high quality with those movements, but idk.

But, episode 85 had a good team as well, but episode 86 I think? It continued, but the animation was way less (the normal team) so I don't think this one is gonna have a good team. I hope so though.

And stop watching Naruto if you found this episode suck, cause it was the best one in a whillle

Eh, maybe it's my slowly deteriorating like for Sasuke that made me not enjoy this episode as much as most people. I just think he is so favorited. >->

BUT ANYWAY, I couldn't enjoy it as much because I read the manga and it's always obvious anyway that a character like Sasuke or Naruto will not die in big battles. So I've lost the element of surprise when they own people.

Although, I honestly can't wait for the animation of Sasuke vs Itatchi.

Well practically any anime adaptation that follows exactly according to the manga it adapts from is is bound to lose the element of suprise. I'm actually one of those people who appreciate a plot in the anime that's different from the manga as long as it balances out the "filler content" involved.

Ahh Tobi continues to amuse. A good comic relief character, it will be all the more amusing when we see whatever his true powers are.

I also noticed the similarity between his clay monsters and the ones from Princess Monoke. But Sasuke certainly did a number on him a few times in that battle - next episode should be good!

The hatred for the sharingan from Deidara was done well. I found myself also delving into those deep eyes with contempt.

Sasuke is a genius so I wasn't surprised that he still has his witty sense of fighting infused with his witty verbal comebacks.

Tobi is hilarious.

Haha, Tobi is pretty funny. Got to wonder how the guy ended up with Akatsuki, he doesn't seem to possess anything that the organization could. Yet, he is probably around for more than comedy relief. At least I hope so.

Pretty decent fight so far.
