| What an epic episode. Loved it hope it keeps going like this. The animation was dumb at the end when they were all running like wow. |

| Anko has been captured by Kabuto, that girl never has the upper hand. Overpowered Kabuto dismisses his dozens of shinobi resurrected by the Edo Tensei, they still have their personalities. The 100.000 white Zetsus are taking the underground route, something the Shinobi Alliance doesn't know. Their scouts are trying to get the information to intel headquarters but Deidara and Sasori (I love those two together) have spotted them. Original Zetsu has been left behind by Madara to keep watch over Sasuke, no one trusts Kabuto haha Pretty much half of the episode has been dedicated to Gaara's speech, I liked it, especially the flashbacks including the music, I seriously need to re-watch Naruto and Shippuuden. Next week, the fights are starting (Sasori and Deidara vs. Kankurou), the epic shit is finally incoming, I hope my mind gets blown by the scale if the studio manages to get the animations right. |
| yays fillers finally over. :3 |

| Gaara breaking up fights... LIKE A FAG! *splash* So I got a question since I haven't been paying attention: If Deidara was just revived how come he attacked the tsuchikage before edo tensei? Was that a flash-forward? And is Zabuza's VA the same? Anyway, Gaara's sad part of the speech was very disappointing. Not the way I expected it to be animated, the second part was awesome though. The animation, oh god, why? They animate build-up eps very well but when it comes to moments like these, it's gotta be road-runner pain, stick-hands Gaara and now...this. |

| I liked the speech, but I felt like it didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to be |
| It was a really good episode can't wait for the next one! |

| I liked it, I'm glad the fillers didn't last long and I was so happy to see Sasori and Deidara again C: |
| Really great episode. Gaara's speech was so fantastic that it made me speechless! I'm really hyped for the war! |
| That was good episode but CGI was really bad |
 |
| good episode id of likes some action |
 |
| Decent episode, nice speech, horrible animations. Looking forward to fights. I'm still amazed at the amount of reincarnations Kabuto pulled out of his a**, looking forward to seeing it explained. He went from decent fighter to god in a short period. I'm not going to rage at it yet, not until I hear how he accomplished all that he did. But judging from the past, and Sasukes instant-level ups, I wouldn't be surprised if Kabuto got sad over losing Orochimaru and that somehow made him realize he can resurrect (ok, it's not resurrection, but you know what I mean) people. Speaking of which, why didn't he resurrect Orochimaru? O.o. Is it because of his affection to aformentioned? All in all, I have quite a few questions, but none that would make me hate, rage, or get annoyed. :) |
Damn, I hope Anko survives. Gaara's speech was better than I expected. Hope to see some good fights soon. |
|
| I like Gaara's speech alot. He's such an inspiration to those around him. Naruto's is about done with his training. I wonder what the final deed is. |
| Haven't watched this episode yet, and glad that I did not. From what I gather from the reaction here, the animation must be awful. Skipping it. |
| Lets Gooooo! The War Finally Begins!! I got chills when Gaara was giving that epic speech I think that the Kabuto vs Anko fight was a little to fast :( Anyway awesome episode :D Can't wait for next week :D |

| this episode was just for us to be prepared for the real fights that are starting, though i enjoyed it and would prefer this than the fillers. |
     |
| Loved the speech, and some flashbacks about what the Akatsuki has done in the past. Can't wait for next week :D |
| Oh well. |
| Epic! Finally it's starting. :) |
 |
| Hajimata atlast wait to the fight? |
| Waah, Gaara's speech was epic :O Akira Ishida-sensei has done awesome work on it! Besides it... Haku-chwan! One of my first anime loves! T_T Couldn't wait to see him in anime <3 Pretty much same with Sasori. He and Deidara are great duo! 5/5 |
  |
| Such a beautiful episode<3 Gaara's story wasn't paced the best, but it was still really wonderful. I'm so happy!! I just can't until next episode. I want to see Sasuke though........... ahhh the ED just melts my heart and the ending image now is the picture frame which I love so much! Sasuke-kun! I wish you were fighting too! D; Come baaaack. :( Besides that, I just can't wait until we get into the war! I want to see what happens soo badly. YUSH! Time to watch the new episode of Kids on the Slope..<3 4/5 - Didn't jump start the excitement as much as I wanted it too... and the pacing wasn't the best either.. but it didn't fail in the epicness score:) |
| Finally the fillers is over and time for action :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| I didn't really care so much for Gaara's speach, I just want the fights already ;D. Also, Kabuto is really strong now. I hoped he would turn out like this when I started to watch the Anime, so I think it's awesome he's back. I liked the episode and I just want to watch mooore. Damn it, I hate waiting :P |
| Finally start! but kinda dissapointed that it still has so much filler..used whole episode just to start the war... |

| Dat epic speech. War officially under way (: |
 |
| Oh man I just want war to start! It's gonna be awesome. |

| Epic speech of Gaara! Hell yeah. Haven't had goosebumps in a while in Naruto. Now the war is starting. They managed to put some dialogue to the characters that will start the battle. Cannot wait for the start!!!!! |

| that dragged on for soooo long, still enjoyed it though |
| This is why I love Naruto. Gaara gave such a great speech, and like everyone else, I'm looking forward to the fights.. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| it was alright The episode felt long a bit dragged out at points but yeah. 3/5 |
 |
| Amazing episode. Only complaints was the pacing and when they did the really detailed animation parts, it looked really weird in contrast with the regular art style. |

Man your way off, this arc is going to probably end up being in the neighborhood of 40-50 episodes (Chapters 515 to 583 currently) so sasuske probably isnt going to appear for another 35 or 40 episodes. Sasuske don't appear to chapter 573 and we are currently at chapter 516. Unless they rush it. The manga seriously is going to probably have around 80 something chapters to this. arc. Largest arc in the manga by far. I just hope they do not have filler in between. But yeah it will most likely be the end of this year before this arc is over, and even then we don't even know when its ending, its coming close in the manga but its ongoing even now. Yeah i agree, forget bout sasuske for a while, many amazing battles are on the horizon and also lots of plot twists and revelations so its going to be a pretty amazing arc. It is mostly centered around naruto and all of the rest of the key characters in the story, so you finally get to see an arc where all of the characters take some pretty active roles in the story including are favorite "konoho 11" |

| Pacing was so off in the episode... the whole thing just to start to war... it was kind of painful to watch. At least the war finally legitimately starts with some battles next episode, not just some more "preparation". |
| Oh god,naruto is getting epic again. |
Kefkiroth said: Pacing was so off in the episode... the whole thing just to start to war... it was kind of painful to watch. At least the war finally legitimately starts with some battles next episode, not just some more "preparation". Its build up though, and like one piece with its WB war saga, its the same thing, they dedicated an entire episode to build up and i think that is a proper way to show the viewers, that this is the climatic battle and the stakes are the highest they have ever been in naruto universe. Reminds me of like LOTR or Legend of the galactic heroes. The speech was just pure awesome, if they didn't have that, i would of thought they rushed it right into the action to fast with no pure reasoning being it. I love build up episodes like these, they get you so phyced up for whats to come. |

| Loved it; Finally done with all the flashbacks episodes, and Gaara with is excellent Speech. |

Largest arc in the manga by far. Lets keep these spoiler tagged if we are going to discuss beyond the anime. Not to worry though just because sasuske isn't appearing till much later, doesn't mean the arc is not going to be good, their is plenty of amazing moments coming up and for anyone who does not read the manga, they will be quite surprised at some of the startling twists in the story during this arc and the growth of naruto is amazing. As is kakashi and all of the other characters, they will all have their fights. I think this is one arc in the entire series where actually "ALL" of the characters from the show get to battle and thats pretty sweet, i mean when is the last time we have seen characters like gaara, rock lee, teten, neji, sakura, hinata, haku, zabuza actually fight? and those are just a few of them. We also get to see quite a few new characters battle. During all this action though, its not just straightforward action, kishi actually develops alot of the characters backgrounds, all well showing the action which i think is awesome, to help type up alot of loose ends in the story. |

| That speech was actually pretty damn impressive. o.O |
| Great CGI shots, some flashbacks and a speech from Gaara. Next episode looks promising. |
| Loved Gaara's speech, as expected. Though I couldn't help but notice at one or two moments (when it showed his back with the army in front of him) a small drawing mistake of the absent flak jacket on his right shoulder :P |
| The war finally will begin... I loved gaara speech... The Fighters stopped easily |
