| Holy s*it, that Gai and Lee action was amazing, great episode. |
 |
 Pretty awesome start to the episode with everyone too bad of course its meaningless since the tailed beast clone took Naruto's chakra and became a faux nine tails, poor Kabuto almost losing control. Otherwise I still like the kids involvement though incest between the "brother" and sister caring for them. |

| Wow, the beginning had really awesome animated fightscenes. I'm really looking forward to the last 2 episodes of Chikara. |
| What the hell are the animators thinking...That animation was stunning!!! Do they really have enough money to do this?? What about the war animation? Really The fight scene with Gai and Lee was better than 90% of the whole series!! IT WAS TOTALLY EPIC!! |

They will need animators like this to animate some of the most craziest action sequences coming up in the anime next year. |

| I hope Toshiyuki Suru animates and directs the remainder of the series. Its not just the animation either, the dialogue, the writing has alot of weight to it, you know instead of naruto using alot of his generic one liners, it seems the chikara arc is just more cleverly crafted and some of the dialogue has alot of thought put into. This is truly what naruto should of been. |

Or did you even watch the episode at all? I doubt he watched it, he's just probably one of those ignorant fools that turns a blind once he hears the word "filler". Proof of him being the first to comment on the episode. This episode has to be one of the best episodes ive seen in the series thus far, taking in consideration the amazing quality to detail with the animation and the directing, the music and sound effects, everything is at its peak quality in production. To bad some people just can't seem to think logical for a second and look at the finer points detailed in this arc, and not just focus on the canon story just because it doesn't follow suit of the story. Kind of feel bad for those who left naruto after this filler arc lol. Celebration for the 500th episode indeed and what a celebration it is! |

| DAT ANIMATION!!!!!!!! Wow! It's fucking DIVINE! The first 3 minute fight scenes was amazing!! Barion-Zara said: What the hell are the animators thinking...That animation was stunning!!!

     |
| OMG! if only they used this sort of animation more often! Gai and Lee Combo action Like a Boss |
| Amazing animation for the fight scene, they should mantain this for the non filler episodes that are incoming. Rest of the episode was pretty meh, only 2 more episodes until the filler is over. |
| Amazing fight scenes.. I really like this arc.. too bad its so underrated :( |
| I like the filler, but those kids whining scenes are annoying. |
Leaulux said: Agree with the above posters on the animation quality. Judging by the OP - If Naruto and Itachi fight in the upcoming canon episodes, I really hope the animation is on par with this or somewhat...There has to be some explanation as to why the canon episodes have had downright awful animation lately, I can only hope its because they were busy with the 2013 material. http://www.saiyanisland.com/2012/12/naruto-shippuden-fillers-extend-until-january-2013/ I think you may be right, why else would they have 2 breaks as well. Its a good indication that the team is preparing for a new quality of animation for 2013 when the story finally goes to back to canon. |
| |
| As much as I love this story (fillers) I would like it to end as soon as possible 'cause I'm starting to forget what was the main story :/ |
 |
| This story arc is a solid 10... it doesn't need to be "canon" to be great! |
veiled_mystic said: Are these non-esstiential filler episodes ever going to end....yeah they are cool but i just want to get on with the main story line..the shinobi war....This chikara saga should be made into a movie instead or something....Gah!! frustrating Have you been paying attention at all, 2 more episodes!!! Essentially its going to be 4 weeks before we are back to canon though. |
| |
| Is there a law in Japan that allows producing anime filler only if there are some annoying children in it? Also, village chief turns out to be a bad guy - big surprise to NO ONE! |
 |
| As filler go, I'm really enjoying this. The animation quality actually seems pretty decent! Liked seeing the old gang show up. Always nice to see Hinata! I'll happily watch this until the new year when the war kicks back in! |

So we don't get back into the war until January 17th. I am trying so hard not to go look up the spoilers or something, this arc is so intense because of all the characters going at it! Speculating--- Naruto vs Itachi - Madara/Kabuto perhaps trying to use the sharingan to control the Kyuubi until Madara can arrive to begin the extraction process. Bee vs Nagato? - Bee backs up Naruto, Nagato backs up Itachi. Sasuke goes nuts? - He rips off his bandages and being the pissed off person that he typically is, begins wrecking shit, pisses Zetsu off, perhaps Sasuke will join the war and fight Naruto? Desert Battle - Naruto is here again, so perhaps this takes place before the Itachi fight? Seems to me that Itachi will either be defeated quickly. I have this very weird feeling that the crow that Itachi gave to Naruto earlier in the series will have some use in this arc. Anyway, massive battle between Shinobi Allied Forces and Edo-Kages. Madara - Seems that he is on the move with his new paths of pain. Still hoping that Sasuke and Naruto team up in the end to kill Madara, I've missed their teamwork :( I really think you will be enjoying the show. There are some plot twists, which were intense and I think you can imagine what is going to happen^^ So I am really loooking forward to your reactions about some episodes. |

But its much more intense then that and thier is quite a bit more going on, their are quite a few surprises as well. I am just glad their are people in here that have not been spoiled by the manga yet. Just look at this way though, at least these breaks might mean something, i rather wait for the studio to gather the materials and create solid animation, then for them to end up rushing crap and it ends up like shit. |

| Just because this episode had a greatly animated fighting scene doesn't make it 5/5 >.> Personally I dislike this filler due to the characters in it (eg. Group of kids, Incest brother and sister, Obvious evil village leader and Naruto not showing off his usual strength and instead having to be rescued ,but I have to give credit to the fight scene since Guy and Lee are some of my favorite characters in this series and looked awesome with their moves :P Ps. This is my opinion |
 |
| Personally i am not a huge fan of Naruto Shippuden fillers. But the ''power'' episodes from last weeks i think were very nice to watch. I liked this episode because im a total Rock Lee fan, especially when he does his Gate power up tricks with the green aura. Also it is nice to see how the ''Reanimation Jutsu'' was in the early not fully power stage, and how Kabuto tries to get more power, i think, for the War. I still hope to see Sasuke fast in the war arc, anybody perhaps have a hint when he will come in the screen again? |

Sorry to say, but not for a while, lets see we are currently on chapter 544 (two suns) sasuske don't appear until chapter 573, hope that answers your question. But don't worry their is plenty of amazing events that are going to happen, some intense action and a few major plot twists before then. |

| The fight with Gai and Lee in was enough to make this episode decent. |
 |
| Great animation, although it's sort of back-story filler that would have been best shown either before the or sooner in the the war arc, even if it introduces some of Kabuto's glorious rise to complete insanity and possibly some new power Naruto will shake out of Kurama's tail(s), this arc is okay so far. <- those are opinions I agree with posted so far. Personal opinion: the kids are incredibly annoying and have failed to serve as Shiseru and Dokku's reason of getting back together in their now weird relationship they had paused during childhood. But sigh.. I'll take it because I know they are going to be doing something stupid a bit later on and will be a key to both complicating the situation unnecessarily and solving it. |

| Damn they should do the fights in the war arc this good. Great episode |
 |
| Wow, that was a great episode. Easily the best one of this arc. |
 |
| These kids sure do cry a lot. That guy is too soft on them. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| Are they even blood-related brother and sister? I wonder. Anyway, since she can't bear any children and they do have a bunch of orphans already to take care of, what would be the problem anyway? Yes, this was my main concern in this episode. I do think Naruto could stay like this, but given the war arc, this might not prove useful. Well, maybe in 20 years in a rework. |
| LEe and guy where pretty cool fighting together. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Bloody fillers. |

tsudecimo said: Flamingo_Power said: Bloody fillers. Skip them? Lol, no it's not that I don't like them, it's just that i'm a bit too excited to watch Naruto fight in the war :P |
| i just re-watched this episode and holy f*ck, EPIC AS SH*T, dat Rock Lee and Gai combo was incredible!! i really hope they animate the fights like this when the canon comes back!! now gonna start re-watching every episode... |
