Awful? What? It was really good and great production values, seeing the akatsuki again (well Deidara and Hidan could have spoke at least) was interesting and Sai's dragon attack was pretty epic. Sakura too


Leo and Minna part of it was really emotional and touching and going by the end episode image guess they will have a large role in this, hopefully.

What was up with Kabuto, different character person or something?

Ehhhh no it wasn't good :p? It had some actual action for a change, but filler is filler... Kabuto looked/acted ridiculous, animation was horrible, story is probably gonna be super cheesy as usual as well, but now that I started it, I have to know how it ends... sigh :p

Fillers. My main problem with fillers is they also make the main cast weak, I doubt Naruto would have kyubi mode in this filler it looks like he'll be using base mode.

Are the people criticizing the animation in this episode on crack or something? You may not have enjoyed the overall artistic shift of the episode (aka character design and lighting), but the animation itself (aka fluidity of movement) was almost movie quality.

I get the feeling that I'm so not going to like this filler arc. But I'll keep on watching it.

The first half was so good, but until the story of Leo and Minna, I didn't care much for it.

Was about to say the same cause the animation quality in this episode was totally unexpected to me. However, the episode still remain really lame, quite a shame if you'd ask me.

I wanted to see Hidan trash talk again like he did during his arc with Kakuzu. I missed that.The first half was actually decent imo.

I was confused with the second half of the episode..like seriously.

Anyways, the arc is called "Power" and it seems to be what Kabuto is seeking. I wonder how well that will go. O, and look who's back:

Oh yea other than the 3 minute fight scene this episode sucked.

However its always irritates me (and for some reason this happens with Naruto more than any other shows), when people say the animation "sucked" when really there was just a subtle art shift while the animation itself was better than 99% of the other episodes. Obviously Naruto vs. Pain is a big one but that was so weird I can understand the hate. But people criticize stuff like shippuden episodes 82 (Asuma's funeral), 85 (team 10+Kakashi vs Hidan and Kakuzu), 143 (Sasuke vs Killerbee) or even Naruto vs Sasuke at the end of part 1 for having "bad animation", when really its the best animation the show sees.

Probably a fan-fiction found in a garbage can.

Kabuto not only does something completely out of character like expose himself to a group of some of the most dangerous konoha shinobi, he also makes a mistake as stupid as not knowing the strength of his own jutsu.

You also have Naruto attacking unprovoked and getting angry enough to have the nine tails start to take over when he is now normally expected to be levelheaded and collected.

I can understand why we are getting filler during the war, considering the manga is going to last a bit longer than that (We still need Naruto Vs.Sasuke). Anyway, I'm wondering when exactly is this filler supposed to take place. Also, when did Hidan actually die? I thought he was doomed to be a severed immortal head in a hole the rest of his miserable existence.

Some of you that are saying that the animation was horrible should really reconsider being an anime fan. The animation in this episode was spectacularly fluid and almost movie quality. Just because there's a slight change in art style doesn't write it off as "bad animation". In fact, It could possibly be one of the highest budgeted episodes of Shippuden that they've made, along with the pain battle and the minato/kushina backstory. By the way, the writing in this episode is far more appealing than any other shippuden filler i've seen yet, so it's too early to say that it's cheesy when it was only the first episode of the arc. Good filler, great animation.

I was really hyped when they showed that poster with Kabuto, Deidara and Hidan on cover for this filler arc, and from the first episode, I'm really into it.

The animation, art and fighting scenes were done great, especially Sai vs Deidara, that one was awesome, but the character design is totally different, I dunno did other studio took over for this arc or what, but they changed it a lot.

Anyway pretty good first episode, looking forward to the rest of this story.

In my opinion; This filler was quite interesting and i like the story so far, The plot felt like a typical Naruto movie or some sort.



I don't like the way Kabuto looked and the eyes of Naruto and Sakura but the animation it self was great. Saying that i want to see more of the animation in the core episodes.

Art, Animation and Character design was all good, mostly this whole arc was done by one person and the rest of the animators can focus on the war to come.

Didn't like the new art style, didn't like them putting something irrelevant to the main story into the anime itself (they should have made this a movie). But the animation was actually quite good, and the plot is way better than average filler.. hope it will become more interesting in the next episodes.

Ummm but it is that bad. I watched it all the way through. Naruto fillers are painfully awful. The least they could do is finish an arc. I'm just about to give up on the anime and read the manga instead. Which is disappointing because Naruto has some of the best animation I've ever seen in an anime.

If you haven't watched this episode yet, don't. It's not worth your time.

I thought the animation was good, except for Kabuto that looks like a creepy old woman. Also the story was weird, pulling a Bleach. It was like a completely different anime in a filler, in flashback in a filler of the original show. So meta its easy to get lost.

Yea, it reminds me a bit like the pain arc. But while the art style is kind of different, the overall animation was actually pretty good. Better than the last ones we got in the previous fillers. So I don't really get the complaints about the animation. And the story... well thats another thing, there is really nothing much to say, i'll wait till next week and see.

What the hell was this crap? I hope this filler arc isn't too long... I hate it. Its nothing like what I expect out of Naruto, its trying to be some serious drama or something.

Also, in my personal opinion the improved animation detracts from the show... it makes reading subs more difficult since theres constantly things moving on the screen which makes it tougher to focus on the subs and see whats going on. Maybe not an issue for everybody, but it hurts my viewing experience.

Some people equate "different" with "suck" which is kind of funny. This was different and rather interesting. It seems to be giving more of a lead up to how Kabuto got how he is durring the war. Also random touching lead up.

The timeline of this filler is just before the war as it seems kabuto is trying to master his edo tensei.

The first halb of this episode was okay, cause u can c the beginnin of Kabutos Jutzu.
The second half was so lame an boring.
Why shoud I cry for such noname people?
Well, if the story would go about konohamaru or some random charakter which has taken part in the past, it could be more emotional.
But this are some random persons, who will never came back to Naruto, so who cares.
The style of this episode was also harrowing.
As it was mentioned some posts earlyer it reminds me on the whorst drawn episode in naruto ever during the pain arc.
To summarize it, first half was okay, but nothing more, second half was unneccessary and the drawing was "not my style".
At the moment there is no anticipation for the next weeks.

Those of you saying it's bad animation need to get a grip, this is clearly one of the best animated episodes in a VERY LONG WHILE even though the story is 'lame, crap, sucks' and also the art style being different, compare this episode to previous ones and you will see what some of us are talking about.

I'd be happy because I would actually start enjoying Naruto like I used to when I first started watching the series.
