man this guy(Deidara) is crazy. He must have a huge ego to explode himself just to kill someone else, jeez...


I cant wait for next episode.

Nice. Great battle. It felt too short xD
I guess that means I liked it :)

Anyway, I seriously doubt he actually died (I mean Sasuke).
Hopefully they keep on with this pace...

As I feared, not very well animated. But the fight wasn't really long.

Stupid and pointless of sasuke to use another Chidori at the end for 2 snakies, he could have used idk.. >_> lol.

But hm, I doubt he got killed since I know the fights after, but I do wonder how he escaped. Probably something stupid though like I ducked under ground T_T

Meh idk what to think of it, I love the previous episode, I wish they put more money into this.. Even though they will get money none the less so why should they.

Good battle to say the least. The animation budget most likely was drawn back just for the sheer fact that there was much less movement and more stationary chit chatter and conversing about how the opponent was able to foil the plan of the other, standard typical procedure in anime. I'm just happy we're on a good track for Naruto, so that i will have some good anime to watch every Thursday up at college. Yeaayy "Thirsty Anime Thursdays." hahahah

P.S. It looks like we'll be getting to the big brother rivalry battle soon, I'd say another month and 1/2.(Not too long right?)

Okay episode.
I let out a big sigh when they showed almost the same filler-flashback as in the previous episode. Sasuke talking about all his "attacks" etc was lame, but it followed the manga so whatever.

pretty epic episode. At least the pace wasn't bad (besides the re-hashed flahback). animation i really have no complaining... the only difference i see between animation is during the crazy fight scenes (like with hidan and kakuzu vs shikamaru + kakashi). There wasn't really any of that in this episode. I like this arc a lot, i think naruto shippuden is finally getting back on the pace it was before.

I'm not exactly sure how Deidara was able to make such a large explosion though. Since he was out of chakra, was it just like his necessary for life chakra that he used in the explosion?

yeah, i was disappointed that they didn't continue the great animation from last week's episode.

Now for someone that watches only the anime this might seem like a pretty good episode but for me who saw this on the manga it was a disappointment especially the first part of the episode.
Reading this battle in the manga seemed awesome. Now when you take that and put colors,sounds and live movement and you make it look worse, then something is wrong. I imagine the anime version being made a lot better from what i saw.
Also when you see a few colors images of the manga they seemed so much more awesome. The colors the art the sound(no cool sound effect except that chidori thing) and even the animation suck so much in Naruto anime that spoil the events going on in the screen.

Just look how more awesome this looks. And tell me how different the world of Naruto would seem and sound in your mind. More dark and impressive that's for sure.


As you can see even the black white images seem cooler. Just imagine how cooler would have been with better coloring(wtf was with all that light?) artwork, sound and staff.

I like the animation better than the previous episode, at least the drawings of the characters, it was a bit of with the faces in the previous episode...

in this episode, at first I thought the pace is good but then flashbacks started again and they are the same from the previous, it is actually boring and pointless... but the explanations from sasuke was good despite slowing the pace...

I want some double episodes...

And so another great character joins the dead, sigh. That guy really lived and died as he preached, gotta give him credit for that.

On another note, someone kill of Sasuke already.

i was hoping to see better animation for such an epic battle. i mean, c'mon, deidara deserves at least that much. still, i enjoyed the episode. great battle!

although i read the manga, i was still routing for deidara all the way. sasuke was so god-like and all, but i love deidara more. and he died. because of sasuke. so sad. that made me hate sasuke. poor deidara. he was nuts but he was cool. deidara you'll be missed.

I actually enjoyed and needed Sasuke's explanation of how he evaded Deidara's attacks. Not all of us like reading the manga. ^_~

Not nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. Though between you people and the ones for the latest OP ep, I must say I had significantly lower expectations.

I expected Gai v. Gai level animation. Thankfully I was wrong.

Fucking drama queens. Though I do wish he had a more fluidly animated end.

But I assume it's necessary given the fights coming up.

I don't see why people have a doubt that Sasuke is dead! I don't read the manga, but do you really think Sasuke would be killed off now! Moving to the actuall episode, I will admit the animation was not as good as the previous, but they did not really fight so no point in wasting money on stationary and chit chat!

There was a lot of logic as to how he escaped, figured out Deridara's weakness etc. Really liked that, that is the other good aspect of Naruto, there is logic. Next episode looks good, the story is finally becoming enticing!

9 out of 10 times the manga is better, so its hard to expect hte anime to be better. I really liked episode 123, unlike you said it had great great animation. They hired the team that did episode 85, the only other well animated episode.

Although reading of course, more detail, and its way easier to make a picture look good (As you can imagine the story) then tbh this. Unless you have a good animating team, and enough episodes to not leave small things out

And of course Sasuke is not dead

^^This and with the whole lightning style > earth style you would think that Sasuke would have finished him off immediately after he realized he could disarm the bombs instead of dragging it out so long. Whatever, what can you do?

Poor Deidara. He was so insane. ): I used to really like him... but the mouth thingy on his chest just freaked me out. Obviously Sasuke didn't die though... Dei died in vain? Hmm.

I was -seriously- disappointed when they showed the same flashback as the one in the last episode. -_-

The animation was okay, but the last episode's animation was GREAT, this time it was just like meh. I hope it's better in the next ep.
