| The worst Shippuuden episode to date. Absolutely nothing happened, and Kabuto took over 15 minutes to walk down a hall. :\ |
| i pretty much dozed off during this episode. |
 |
| I'm taking the liberty to summarize this episode with one single screenshot of it... |
     |
| Yep, this was Sai's episode. It was interesting to see his perspective on things. |
 |
| Actually, I think this episode was actually pretty good(poop joke not withstanding, though I agree with Naruto about not wanting the thing to last). So to review Sai is weird Kabuto walks slow and Naruto really does want to save Sauske and while Sauske does not deserve it, Naruto is a great, complex guy. |
| My anime list |
| Sai is still one of the worst characters in manga/anime history, though. |
| It was a bit slow and no action, (and annoying flashbacks as usual -__-) but Naruto's speech at the end was worth it.. I love sasunaru xP and I want to hug Sai ;__; |

| The music was once again so over dramatic I started to laugh at the serious parts. Sai's facial expression were the equivalent of a guy being told that he is going to get raped in his butt. But hopefully we can move forward in the next few episode - 'cause I know it won't happen in the next episode. |
 |
| I almost fell asleep during this episode =/ Just when I was hoping for the pace to pick up, they dragged Shippuuden like never before. Hopefully next episode will be interesting, or at least semi-interesting. |
| The only thing slower than this episode is the speed Kabuto walks at. People DON'T TALK WITH 15 SECOND PAUSES IN-BETWEEN SENTENCES. [/rage] But yeah, I would agree with the earlier comment about the music. Terribly chosen and timed. And Sai really had no reason to be surprised. Did they forget how to make Naruto during the filler arc? ...Though Naruto's speech was pretty good. |
 |
| I did like the whole lets see how Sai really feels Dr. Phil Ep. But it wasn't that up lifting. The only part I liked was Naruto speech about how much he really want Sasuke back. I mean I felt kind of like hell yeah lets go get ripped apart, for sasuke. |
 |
| wayyy to stretched out! but i think i forgot that sai said hes from kirgakure! i dont remember that from the manga. in that case it narrows down who his brother is to one person. i wont say who it is bcus its the anime forum, not manga. that is...if his brother is alive XP |
| 性的暴行 |
| Give me 5 minutes and I'll give you this episode. Typical Shippuuden yawnfest. |
| Slow paced as usuall! The episode had nothing interesting for me. The only thing that cought my attention was a new sound track. maybe not new, but it's the first time i heard it. I'm really sick of that dramatic background music! Asako said: Sai is still one of the worst characters in manga/anime history, though. Maybe not the worst , but close ;p. Sai is so irrelevant!!!!!! >.< |
 |
Asako said: Sai is still one of the worst characters in manga/anime history, though. Sai is up there. After checking your list, you would be unaware of Kazuki from Dragonaut, who currently holds the afore mentioned title. |
 |
| Oh geez, the entire time I kept looking at the timeline on my player to see when the episode would be over. The pauses between each line was killing me. And seriously, wtf took Kabuto so damn long, it didn't seem like he walked that far away from Sai's cell when he left. Although Naruto's little speech at the end slightly reminded me why I like this series, speeches like that aren't going to save Shippuuden. Ethereal_Chime said: Sai's facial expression were the equivalent of a guy being told that he is going to get raped in his butt. LOL couldn't agree more =] |

| They sure took their time talking to Sai. x___X' It was an interesting conversation but I think all those freaking long pauses and zooming in on everyone's faces was unnecessary. Shipuuden needs to speed up. >0< Plus Kabuto seems to like walking dramatically with scary expression on his face. Though Naruto's speech about saving Sasuke was good... except that Yamamoto was really bad drawn right there. It looked like he was having a heart attack or something. o__o' |

Give more action! The last episodes don have any sense! |
 |
| I think Kabuto should invest in rollerskates. That's all I got on episode 48. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
Ethereal_Chime said: The music was once again so over dramatic Yea the speech at the end was more funny than anything because of the music. |
  |
| I thought the music went well with Naruto's speech, but the animation was lame and that's what made me laugh. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| I wish Shippuuden gets better in the future... it's getting slower and more and more boring. |
 |
| Naruto's speech single-handedly saved this abysmally dragged out episode. Unfortunately, the super-overdramatic BGM that accompanied it sucked (I bet Naruto's old theme back would've been perfect with that scene). At least the next episode looks pretty good (is it just me or does the animation look...kickass again?) |

| The characters are just extremely poorly made and from my perspective completely unsympathetic. Naruto is this über-naive fucking baby who tries to make decisions for everyone, cant hold his calm for 5 cents. God I hate him. Sai could've been an interesting character, but really they just labeled him as "sociopath" and that was it. Most of the actual good quotes from Sai like "I wasn't sure what facial expression to make" when his brother died, cant be bothered to quote his exact words but that was about it. Thats actually already been said in good anime like Monster, so they're just ripping off people who know how to make good character with good perspective on psychological issues. But I guess Im asking too much of a Shounen anime LOL! |
 |
| i thought it was a good episode.. even though nothing happened, kabuto took his sweet time to get to sai's room... but the ending was what really countedddd.. :]] |
| I love Naruto in the manga. Hate him in the anime. This conflict is...TEARING ME APART. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| This episode was BORIIIIIIING!!!! |
   |
| naruto hadd the best spech at the enddd.. that was basically the high light of the ep....  |
| naruto speech wass good, but that was basically it... |
| I haven't read the Manga to this point, so to me the pace feels normal to be honest. This was.... an OK episode. I liked Naruto's speech, but everytime I hear that background music they used at the end of the episode I think of Pirates of the Caribbean or something similar. I think I prefer the soundtrack from the previous series. Haruhi-Sama said: He never said he was from kirigakure. They mentioned he received the same kind of training.wayyy to stretched out! but i think i forgot that sai said hes from kirgakure! i dont remember that from the manga. in that case it narrows down who his brother is to one person. i wont say who it is bcus its the anime forum, not manga. that is...if his brother is alive XP |

| Sasuke will safe shippuden. Yeah of the Uchiha 2008!! I just can't imagine the animation teams putting sasuke in bad animated fights etc. That's just wrong.! >.< Let's hope they feel the same way ^^ |
|
| Sasuke's looked plenty unco in the past. Though he was spared the low budget filler quality battles. Shippuuden will be no better with his fights, though. If the pacing continues to be this slow, it'll still be frustratingly stupid. Not bad enough that I'll drop it, since watching one ep a week is no skin off my nose, and I want to see some of the big upcoming fights (having read the manga) animated. |
| LOL. I love how Kabuto walks for about five minutes (...the time it takes him to realize "oh crap, forgot something"...). But then it takes him an hour to walk back. Did he get lost? Was he thirsty and decided a nice glass of water + a good book would be a better waste of his time than accidentally stumbling in on the ninja who have intruded on his home? How convenient! And the supposed god of all ninja, orochimaru, isn't skilled enough to realize: "Ah, it seems someone broke into my hand-made fortress of nearly impenitrable rock." I mean, with his kind of sensing power, a toddler could jump on his back and he'd hardly notice... --- Everything seems horridly inconsistant. Orochimaru is a god one episode but pathetic the next. He's ranked as one of the most feared ninja, yet he can't fight at all. He has to turn into a snake...and besides throwing up a sword and slamming into the ground, he seems useless. Kabuto walks a couple minutes in one direction. And it takes him an hour to walk back. Sai has no emotion one episode living his entire life following orders...only to change his mind in a 2 minute Naruto-speech and revolt against his entire life's work. Sakura goes from the genius ninja that aced every single test...to requiring Naruto's help in figuring out the meaning behind a stupid picturebook that a LITTLE KID drew. Ugh...too bad I have a horrible compulsive desire to see things through to the end. I foresee a long painful battle and I fear I'll be the one fighting it. Hybrid vs the 'stop' button on my media player...take one... |

| It's amazing how the show makes canon material look like filler. And its interesting how the pacing is the major factor involved in all this. I mean it's not like we're all suffering from ADD either, the producers have paved new ground in slowing down a show methinks. They should be proud of themselves, the bastards that they are. |

Couldn't agree with you more, it's very interesting too because of how many people continue to watch this show every week including myself. |

| why do they stare at each other for 10 mins and then theres like 30 seconds of dialogue...*stabs self* |

I know what you mean, I never liked Orochimaru or considered him fearful in all my time of watching Naruto. He turns into snakes, summons snakes, shoots out snakes and coughs up swords. Strong? I think not. The only reason I consider him strong at all is because he doesn't seem to be killable =/. There is nothing likable about him nor is there anything admirable about him. IMO, he's just this lame ugly villain that someone must have accidentally thought up after dropping a piece of artwork into a puddle or something. |

sasxxx said: there is something wrong understatement of the year? xD It feels more like I'm continuing to watch this anime out of pity, rather than enjoyment. Hey guys, have you realized? We're almost at FIFTY EPISODES now, and what has gotten accomplished? That's right, little to nothing. ALMOST A FREAKING YEAR OF EPISODES and this is where we're at. If these are the measures required to avoid catching up to the manga without having filler arcs, then i pray to god bleach doesnt get the same idea, I'll take another bounto arc anyday rather than see the non-filler episodes reduced to this trash. |
| ONe word for this episode.. BORING |

I haven't caught up to the Manga, so I'm actually enjoying the Anime. Give me a few days and I'll be agreeing with you about how slow the pacing is. |
|
| Sai: Why do you want to save Sasuke so badly? Naruto: Because he's my friend! (Insert dramatic music here.) I'm sorry Naruto, but Sasuke has moved out of state, changed his name, delisted his address and phone number, and filed a restraining order against you--you went from "friend" to "deranged stalker" a long time ago! Seriously, it is the worst episode! |
