Dang, that wasn't as enjoyable as I expected it to be. I'm definitely eager to watch next week's episode though. Looks like we'll finally get the confrontation.

Better then ep49, but still pretty sucky. But next episode will probably be a lot better.

this episode didnt suck quite as much as i thought it would. knew we'd only get a glimpse of sasuke this episode, and next week is an hour special. Normally hour specials are something to be celebrated in anime, but for NS that just means they can throw in even more time fillers and flashbacks and nobody will mind cause its an hour long episode, SOMETHING has to get accomplished.

Pretty good episode. By NS standards, I mean. >_>

Well seems we'll finally get the confrontation next week. I hope they don't mess it up after this terribly long build-up.

+1 for ANBU Kakashi at the end. 8D

The best thing about the entire episode was DB's title message.

Well, it was all rather predictable. As Sai was 'finishing' his childhood book, I muttered to myself: "It's probably them holding hands." And later, when they were flipping through the Bingo Book, I said: "Sasuke is probably in there."

At any rate, I was expecting this episode to be absolutely dreadful. It certainly was not a good episode...extremely dull and boring. But it was tolerable unlike the last few episodes.

Who would have guessed it would have taken 51 episodes to reach the Sasuke/Naruto reunion shown at the beginning of Shitpuuden?

Boring. That's pretty much the bottom line.

Next week will probably be the same too actually. It always seems like "oh yeah, next week looks like it'll get better," but it never does.

I did when Shippuuden started. Friends can attest to that. I was like "Hey, that scene is so far ahead, it's gonna take 'em 50 eps just to get up to there"

Not as bad of an episode as I expected, but still poorly paced. Did Sakura REALLY need to ask what the black X's in Sai's assasination book meant? Honestly...

Well, Sasuke's almost back, naturally everyone is gleeful. I'm sure everyone who's been complaining about how crappy this show has been will forget it once Sasuke shows off his emo-ness for all of us to enjoy again. Pierrot definitely will be, there may be consistent effort in the animation again. Whee...

I'll stick with the show because it's not awful (although I do intend to start reading the manga again soon). I'm stubborn that way, I guess.

Looks like things are FINALLY starting to get more interesting. We get to see Sasuke and Naruto meet after 50 eps, and even the Ninja Academy Special Lecture wasn't a flashback of something we've already seen from before the 2 year jump.

Since when did they become able to sense eachother's chakra? Or is that something I just forgot? But seriously, *cough*bleach*cough*. The episode was crap like any other Shippuuden episode. But it wasnt as horrible as the last episode though. It seems I underestimated the character of Sai a little bit, but he's still shallow.

The only thing that is good is the last clip of Kakashi in ANBU cosplay. Hahah! Cosplay? LOL! ;p

I'm looking forward to the manga now, not the anime. This is really light paced, how can they meet up with the manga with this pacing. I think I'm gonna drop this show. I can't stand watching a whole episode of just pure conversation. I think I'll just watch only the fighting episodes. But, that's not it. I'm not going to archive this show now. I'll watch and delete it after. This is crappy. Ouch!

Also, I think I shouldn't download the original quality, but the encoded version since it will just be a waste of bandwidth if I'm just going to watch crappy episodes like this in a 170mb AVI file.

Naruto, Sakura, and Sai had swallowed those seed things Yamato gave them. It was explained in a lame 10 minute explanation a few episodes back. How Orochimaru sensed Sai though was beyond me.

It's about damn time they got to the reunion too. I'm starting to think Sakura is as dumb as Naruto, if not dumber, lately.

I want all this to speed up already. I dislike how they stretch things so far as to add a whole minute of just nothing and air passing by rather than moving the story along. I can't blame them though, I'm still watching the episodes for some reason.

At least finally we'll get to see some fighting ensue.

the epiosde was fine

the only thing i hated
was the fact that they let Orochimaru slip that one line in.
he said something along the lines of : "try to kill at least 1 akatsuki member for me"

and the instant i saw naruto's stupid "wtf" face.
i immediately face palmed.
for i foresee at least 5 weeks of filler episodes revolving around that quote =|
*sigh.

(and im not too hyped for the 1 hour special.. cuz those are usually huuge letdowns.. grawr. i really hope this'll be a reeeally good one tho ~)

When Orochimaru attacked Naruto I knew he would use Kage Bunshin Jutsu- really this is grotesque- after 2 year training with Jiraya- still Kage Bunshin...He should have tried Sexy Jutsu as well...

And I didnt get why they let Kabuto live...

Noooo, dump the selfabsorbed little prick in a pit, seal it for all time and all can live happily ever after. I'd so prefer to see Sai or ANY one in the team over having "Mr Revenge" as the central theme in the show. Riles me all the time tbh.

How about the "Why is Sasuke on Sai's assassination list?"

I also love it how Orochimaru goes off the kill Sai, naruto immediately says they have to do something to help, and then they sit around and talk about his book and his smile...

Oh well, at least Sasuke is going to be back, maybe make things more interesting.

Is the new type of Rasengan is all that Naruto learnt from Ero Sennin? O.o
His tactics on fight with Kabuto - kage bunshin - that tactic screw, and he did it again even with orochimaru who appears to be much more stronger than Kabuto O.o.

Am I the only one who was reminded of Mizuki while looking at Sai's brother. It seems that character template has been recycled many times. =p

Better than last episode, but still rather slow. Next ep sounds like it's going to be dialogue driven, too. Though I did guess right when Shippuuden started, take ~50 eps for them to get to Sasuke. We'll probably see him (properly) next episode, or in 51.
Since the next episode is obviously going to be full with flashbacks about Sai, my guess is 51 or 52. If we actually get to see Sasuke on episode 50, it will be a last 10 seconds scene.
Judging by the previews on this episode, it seems I was right! =D

I am waaaay late on getting to this episode lol...but it was decent. I liked the back story for sai and I am glad that he finally has his memories back.

I figured the picturein Sai's book was going to be them holding hands since he was drawn with his arm outstretched...but I never thought he would have a bingo book. Also, didn't think that it would have been Sasuke in the book...although I guess it makes more sense...but I thought they might find their own pictures. Oh well. Can't wait for the next episode either way.

Decent episode... a million times better than last week's snooze fest. The end kinda shocked me when Sasuke was in Sai's bingo book.

I am super excited for the next episode. It is going to be one of those double episode shows, so a lot will probably happen. Sasuke and Naruto reunite...yahoo!! It has been a 3 years wait for them and a 150 episode wait for us. ^^
