As much as I hate to admit it, I enjoyed last week's filler and this, too.

I really miss the old music, maybe I should watch Naruto again, I kinda have the urge to.

am liking these fillers, sorta focusing a bit too much and sasuke and naruto's bond, but thats ok. The next episode looks good and they're going at a REALLY fast pace, but thats good for us of course, the sooner the better!!
Loving the ED tooo much!!!

Gotta admit, for someone that hates the cesspool that Shippuuden has become, I've really enjoyed this week's episode. Mostly because that was when Naruto was actually enjoyable.
Not to mention the soundtrack, which was one of the strong points of the series for me. Btw, if anyone can name the song used right after Sasuke and Kakashi arrive (at the end of the episode), I would be very thankful.

I'm pretty sure it's Sarutobi from Naruto's third OST (by Masuda Toshiro).

Awesomeness! :D
SasuSaku moments<33 and wow Sasuke was so cool and awesome back then. He still is now, but he was great in a good way back then. I'm happy Naruto is still so fun and amazing. I just think that battle at the end is so awesome in how it makes Sasuke and Naruto completely equally matched.
It's cool to see all the highlights of Sasuke and Naruto in the series :P Next episode is the one where Sasuke leaves!! I'm gonna cry gosh D;. Lolol poor Sakura. :(

Idk why they didn't put where Sasuke got bit though. That was REALLY important for the next episodes. I just love that one monologue before he starts fighting Orochimaru though, it's so beautiful. It was so amazing how he put Itachi behind him for his comrades :3

I like the new footage (and monologues) though, it makes it a lot more interesting :D

I still can't wait till the Fourth Great Ninja War..

4/5 - They cut out a lot of my favorite parts, but it was really enjoyable over all. Also, definitely didn't have the great pacing like last episode.

I feel so nostalgic when I hear the Naruto soundtrack.. I'm totally gonna go play some of it on my piano now<3 I just miss the openings! D;

I enjoyed last week's episode better, but this one wasn't too bad either. Just a little bit more cramped episode wise.

So...what are the chances that we're gonna get an reanimated Sasuke vs Naruto fight? Not that the original was bad (it was actually one of the highlights of Naruto in terms of animation) but it would be interesting to see it taken in a different approach.

Its kind of a walk down memory lane before the big finale coming up. Because everyone knows things are bout to change significantly in the upcoming arc. So im sure this is just more of a way to show that the upcoming episodes are going to have huge relevence to when sasuske and naruto were together and part of team 7. After it all, its all been building to this moment. It is going to be considered one for the ages, the most historical change in the naruto universe.

I could handle rewatching Naruto o.o..
I didn't realize how cool Naruto is in the exam.. I was to starry eyed for Sasuke.
Now I just see how weak he was and how shallow his character was. Lol.

And when Sasuke asked Kakasi to train I was like noo Kakashi you can tell he's going to cause a war one day can't you? Say no no no!!!!!

2 More episodes of this? Okay.
Looking forward to war, war, war :D

What do you do when yoou run out of ideas for crappy new fillers? Replay old shit that explains the Naruto/Sasuke relationship, again... in case you missed i the last 50 times it was beaten to death...
Is there another word for synonym?

Flashback episodes are better than random fillers. I miss the old soundtrack.

Filler... well kinda!

This short burst of backstory is much better than the "Gai sensei pukes on a boat" story line from last summer! It isn't all old animaton & it brings a little more depth to the story line.

The war starts in 261? I hope so...

Agreed, and these seem to be reanimated so it's not so bad. Brings back old memories.

The part with Sasuke and Kakashi on top of the mountain was pretty neat. Also, still really enjoying the old music. Other than that it absolutely sucked. I don't need these damn recaps! 1/5

so from my memory, they included the intro of five chakra change in nature whereas it wasnt included in the original episode also I remember it clearly that sasuke's drawing was so horrible in the OG and they fixed it in this episode I didnt rewatch the OG episodes but I love the OG anime and I clearly remember the shots and how they looked like so ye I guess they have decided to call back their horrible animation back then

Makes me miss the old Naruto. This is a nice little retelling of the rivalry, but it IS just the highlights, so it doesn't do it full justice.
