----------------------------------------
Amazing adventures start from now on! Though the cruelty of the exams shocks me. Like such girl as Hinata could take part in a murder. But that Bacteria-san guy really led three Genins to death!
Naruto got in trouble, and his mates now are going to have a serious fight ^^
Good luck, Sasuke, Sakura!

So the forest of death begins. Sasuske knowing that naruto was an imposter was the best part of this episode. Things only complicate the further they endure this hellish forest.

I really love seeing how all the characters use such clever strategies to win these bouts and get the scrolls.

Very good episode and the next one looked promising aswell, with some huge snake crawling after Naruto. And the new op&ed songs are better than the first season had, so in that aspect too this season is more passionate/exciting and pleasuring to watch.

These episodes are really exciting, though I didn't like the bonus part at the beginning. They didn't even trouble themselves with making new scenes and just used the old ones :P

I really liked the old intro/song and then the butterfly at the end. I hate the recaps! It's getting more interesting but I don't know if I can stand the repeating scenes.

This show is fun, right now. Kinda like how Bleach was when I first started watching it. I'm not looking forward to it going so down hill, though, as I hear it will, just like Bleach.

, naruto
Not even close to how bleach went down hill, naruto may have some faults later on but its leagues ahead of bleach.

But i wouldn't say that, now the current 1000 year blood war arc is amazing in the manga.

Hmm yeah. I like the new ending, not so much the opening. The scenes are good and so we've see the appearance of an important character soon. Also have fun Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Those woods are full of surprises xD.

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

This Episode Gets A 7 Using Lumiose Trainer Zac's Rating System
An Overall Good And Fun Episode That Is Above Avarage

Best Parts Were Definetly From Team 8
And Sasuke,

This Episode Just Shows How Smart Sasuke Is By Realising The Other Ninja's Transform Jutsu Almost Straight Away And How Team 8 Is Stronger Than It Looks By Showing Their Skills Like Hinata's Byakugan

The Only Slightest Bit Annoying Was, Naruto And Choji At Some Points Of The Episode But The Episode Itself Is Not Focused Mostly On Him Which In This Case Is Good

Not a bad ep!

It wasn't actually too slow like it usually is ahaha ^^;. I'm liking this stage so far too! It's kinda obvious which teams are making it based on screen time and seeing them grown up, but I'm still excited to see how the fights play out (≧ᗜ≦).⋆。⋆༶⋆˙

This seems really brutal for something that kids have to do because aren't Team 7 like 12 or something right now? It's just like the Hunger Games. I wonder where Naruto is, he probably just got lost somewhere, unless he got kidnapped.

Team 8 cooked their attackers. They have rather unique abilities and it's cool how these 3 work together.

This is pretty high stake for a "mere exam" and Anko enjoys it(and people call Ibiki a sadist) You have all these characters, some of them with unknown motives, which adds to the excitement. This is why I love this arc. It was a blast during my first read/watch and it still is.
