Ah more background storytelling this episode. It chronicles the adventures of the Sage and his wisdom so I did expect more of a spiritual feel from the episode.

Kinda interesting to see his journey in more details.

Interesting one.
Hagoromo traveling around the world to fix the damage after the fight against Kaguya.
Indra and Ashura story next, too bad that their mother died.

Just wondering how much time he has to tell the story while Naruto and Sasuke are fighting/surviving like hell.. But yeah, you gotta tell a 15 minute story of how to build a bridge.

It was actually a decent episode. If the pacing of the Kaguya backstory was done like this it would have been a wonderful story to tell.
Everything is proceeding smoothly but Indra inventing shadow clones... kind of makes the Nidaime seem like a copy cat.
This episode felt like Jesus gaining his disciples... lol
And the opening is really growing on me.
4/5...

Had quite a 'Jesus gathering disciples' feel which was kinda cool.
Lmao how many bridges did Hagoromo need to build to get over it.

PS Zetsu's straw hat is kinda cute

Okay Sasuke and Naruto is fighting my mother to save the world but before I tell you about this nishuu crap, let me tell you about this one time I build a fucking bridge. - Rikkudo Sennin's flashback.

Well it was decent as a filler. Indra and Ashura should prove interesting.

Though who the hell introduces himself as a thief and later proceeds to con someone before the very person who you revealed yourself too xD

The world is at stake but I'm gonna tell y'all about the time I rebuilt some damn bridges lol. Other than that gripe, I didn't really have too many problems with this episode. If we absolutely HAVE to have filler, I'd prefer this type of stuff that actually seems like it could have been in the manga, rather than some shit like Konohamaru's team doing odd jobs or some shit like that. Anyway it was pretty interesting to see how Hagoromo developed his following and passed along Ninshu. Looks like we'll focus on his sons next time. That pedo-Zetsu at the end though.......
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

It was a good story overall to teach children buddhist morals, but this is not a story for toddlers to tell them that stealing is bad.

+1 for teaching children some morals.
As a Naruto episode though this was horseshit.

the animation is high quality today

I almost cried when Kurama was crying.

Knowing the original purpose of chakra, that it was meant for good and kindness and how it was abused into war, it's sad.

I really wanted to see the waifu Hagoromo married lol. Kinda sad that she shortly after the birth passed away. So Zetsu was already trying to set some stones back then.

Since I've already seen the ending to the series through the manga and Storm 4, I really love that the anime is fleshing out the backstories of the Sage of the Six Paths and Kaguya since I get to see new content that was only hinted at in the original manga. Looking forward to next week, very interesting that apparently Indra was a kind hearted child that loved his brother.

I love how when Hagoromo mentioned he married and had two sons, instead of showing the mother it just showed his apprentice still right by his side. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, I really like it. Those disciples are probably every clan's ancestors.

This episode felt like it was some kind of reinterpretation of the story of real life religions that believe in Chakra

Cool episode and all, but I really want to go back to the fight!

I'm just watching the episode, why isn't no one noticing that Hagoromo looks different? He has two blue eyes, one red eye on his forehead, horns and a pale purple skin.

Hagoromo basically becomes the first Jesus and saves people and teach his ways.

I love how he derailed to the Bijuus then said "back to my story"

The hokages be like "what the fuck does this all have to do with us?"

Time to finally catch up with the latest filler arc, I guess.

Well, it wasn't as bad I expected it to be. To be honest, it was far more interesting than current filler arc in One Piece >D At least I'm somehow interested in Indra & Ashura's origins.

I actually really liked this episode. It was kinda wholesome and nice to see how those petty thieves changed for the better.

Still not convinced that such a small group of followers were able to spread chakra all over the world. But I'll let this one slide.

I guess now we'll see more of Indra and Ashura.
