THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This ep was decent. Naruto cut his leaf in half finally, and got some help from Asuma-sensei. And apparently Asuma-sensei is the 3rd's son. Looks like we'll be getting into the mission story when the next ep airs in 2 weeks.

(I still love the OP)

well....it looks like the fillers wont be so far off from the manga either. they might carry them side by side and work into the manga again. but then again they may put the manga on hold after this episode and just go filler happy.

now is it better to wait two weeks for a one hour special or just watch regularlly? i hate waiting.

I liked this ep. The filler seems to actually be promising this time, as well. Let's hope it doesn't let us down.

I always thought it was pretty obvious that Asuma was the 3rd's son, but I could've just as easily been wrong about it.

Seems like the fillers will start on the next episode. I hope they're interesting and don't last to long.

I really like how they're starting this filler arc by focusing on the technical aspects of Naruto's training, then moving into the story. They should have followed this formula back in the original series, then those 80-ish episodes of filler crap might have been halfway decent.

This episode was pretty funny, and I especially love the fact that they don't stray completely from the actual plot ^^

I'd rather not see any more fillers, since the manga plot is already so much ahead from the anime -___- But oh well. I just hope they're not boring.

I also love this OP like shit! It's the only one I watch every time! "AOI AOI ANO SORA!"
... Anyway, I thought this episode was decent, and the fillers don't look so bad either, those characters seem pretty interesting if you ask me...
Good thing this anime is fun again!

Well, it looks like I'm the only one who REALLY hates the new OP. Oh, bother...
I make it force of habit not to read the manga past the show, but I don't really mind even if it is filler. The show's just flowing better right now, with none of those silly flashbacks or five minutes of silent expression shots. Plus, everyone loves training montages. If this is what their filler's going to be like this, I'd take 3 or 4 filler arcs over the crap that they were pulling earlier.
I always wondered how Asuma was connected to the Third (I remember hearing his name was Saratoubi somewhere else). You can really see the resemblance, though.

Hmm I would have preferred it if Naruto continued his training while Asuma's group went on the mission. It logically doesn't make sense for Naruto to go when he is in desperate need of training. *sigh* Looks like they haven't learned that we don't always need Naruto in the show. Oh well.

Yes OP is awesome ^^.

once they catch up to the manga we wont see naruto for 20 something eps anyway. It will turn into Sasuke fest.

and Personally I'm happy they added in fillers. This part in the manga took so long to cover and it got old fast. So I think the fillers where placed in a good spot.

Asuma as the 3rds Son, wow didn't see that coming at all.

>.< everybody is saying that it's a surprise that Asuma was the Third's son... i wonder if that makes me a huge Naruto nerd or something cuz i've known that for a long time.... wish i could remember when i learned it tho. hmmm.

well anyway. was an ok ep. i really like that they're adding fillers now. need something new and i'm not really looking forward to rushing into the Sasuke and Itachi fight. that's going to last for AGES when it comes around. *sigh*

Not really. It will flash back to Naruto once in a while to see his training remember? And the other fight scenes ain't really that long.

Yes I think fillers were a good idea this time. Certainly better than the slow pacing.

Amen bro. But they probably wanted him to leave the village before anything happens to him.

The OP good. I like it very much.

I know that for a long time that Asuma is one of the Sarutobi. I think I've seen it in wiki, his last name is Sarutobi, that's why I'm really surprised, that the 3rd's last name is also Sarutobi. That's when I caught that they're related.



YEY! FOR FILLERS! Looks like the fillers are interesting. Hahaha! Not just a bunch of mission filler. XD Yatta!

I think the episodes are becoming pretty decent. At least they seem like they're trying to get (and stay) to the main storyline. A couple episodes before this, when we saw Sasuke it was just a lot of howling wind and staring. Just staring. Anyway, Naruto is finally making progress power-wise, so I can't wait for that, and I love the opening!!

Finally we've ended the seemingly eternal flashback-period. I can go back to enjoying and being excited over each episode, instead of having to skip some. Yes! :D

Damn right, guys!! The opening song is awesome!!
Heh, Tenzou, huh. I don't remember that. It must be Yamato's real name.
Oh boy, Asuma. Knowing Asuma's "destiny" and seeing him happy with Kurenai and stuffs is </3 How nice of him to give earrings to his team. It's pretty sad that their team and the others have and need to go on separate ways :/
If wind-type is really unique, then I really want to be a wind-type, too. That's awesome.
Woah, why are they so surprised when they learned that Asuma is the 3rd Hokage's son?? I mean, it's pretty obvious because of the surname. I have always known that Asuma is related to the 3rd Hokage, but I think, I just forgot that he is the 3rd's son. Well, now I am sure.
Konohamaru's first seiyuu is now voicing him again. What happened to the replacement?? LOL at the Omake ahahaha.
Well, time for some fillers.

I don't understand what happened to this episode's Art, but the story goes well, and we get to see Team 10 after a while, as well as the Asuma-Kurenai couple. I don't know if the Anime team noticed but the way they describe the character Asuma reminds me of his impending death. Should they hide it instead of making it so obvious?

I liked these two episodes more than most of the shippuden episodes. It featured Sai, Yamato, Kakashi and Naruto actually working hard and showing progress. I also liked Asuma sensei in this, it was a bit of a shock to know he is third hokage's son, wow.
I loved the part where kakashi sensei acts doesn't let naruto fall from fatigue that was so wholesome and satisfying to watch and the second bit where Asuma sensei asks yamato taichou to take care of naruto. Didn't expect to see good episodes from this anime (jk ik it will get better [without fillers obviously])
