Two recaps in 26 episodes? Damn..

They dont do this that often, mostly during episodes in where they state that the airing dates change. But at least its told by a narrator so its a little different. Also Konohamaru wanted to know what he has done as a ninja so far lol.

But yeah, its obvious its a recap. Episode 26-27 is actually a 1 hr special.

Yeah, it's kinda borng, but I liked it. It's not the usual recap eheh. Naruto makes it much more entertaining XD.

On another note... OMG DAT OPENING. Almost sweated just by listening. Soo epic

Well, Episode 26 - 27 are combined as a one video in the Anime streaming website where I watch my Anime, and I think that's how it supposed to be. Naruto's staff likes doing stuffs like that.
Haruka Kanata~ It brings back so many memories, man~
First part is some sort of special, kinda like a recap, but it was pretty funny to me.
Second part, and that creepy ass dude with the long tongue is
Yikes!!
Ending song is like, new to me, since, we always skip ending songs back then.
Well, time to eat, and then sleep. I shall continue this tomorrow :3

Nice little recap! Am I one of the few people who love recaps? I like it because I find it hard to remember every single detail and it's nice to have it further engraved in my memory :D

Recap, booooo! I can understand how these might be kinda nice when watching the series as it airs, but I'm a bit of a binge-watcher, so I don't need 'em... ★2/5

A pointless recap episode, but at least we got a new OP & ED! Let's see what's next though.

Meh, recap. Some funny meta humor, though.

Also, new OP is glorious as fuck.

I didn't like the fact that half of this episode was a recap, but I kind of understand why they would do that.
The rest of the episode was fine tho.

finally, one of the best opening in naruto - haruka kanata!
it's not that i don't love/hate previous opening, it's just that opening is pretty plain compare to the other.
too bad though about the 1st ed :(

hmm, though to be recap episode it was actually pretty funny at times, only at the end it was seriously boring ><

I've just got here and started watching around 3-6 minutes of this episode. Don't get me wrong, I'm liking this series so far and I don't have issues with fillers. However, if the whole episode 26 is just reviewing characters and the plot so far (which I believe it is), then I'm better just skip it and I'll watch it whenever I have more time. Currently watching on Crunchyroll, so the ad thing really has a weight here (the episode can be from 23 to 27 minutes long just by ads).

Is it fine if I just skip it? Or is there any new thing mentioned there? Will I be missing anything plot-important? Thank you :)

It's literally a useless recap episode where nothing happens. So yes you could skip it.

So yeah. With this being a recap episode, it didn't introduce any new material. But with that being said, I liked some of the commentary.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
