I do hope its not just me...but even though its another filler arc.. I'm not the only one enjoying shippudden again right?
I mean... the animation is good.... and fluid... the plot moves pretty well along....

It's enjoyable because they don't seem to waste a lot of time on any one thing. The direction is good. The keep the pace up and quick, even though what is being given is practically inconsequential. Also, they aren't rehashing old jokes and trying to appeal to lolicons like some other shows like to do.

Does anyone have any clue when this filler arc will end. This episode wasn't too bad even though almost nothing happened again.

The lack of "real" story is somehow ...making me unhappy. But than again, I really like this arc, it's interesting, same goes for Shikamaru's.
What I find really great is Guren. She is incredibly interesting character, and as I see it, not bad at all...
Well, I really hope she doesn't die, but the words in ending of this episode: "this camellia will never wither, as long as I don't die." (something like that) really get me into conclusion she will die and girl will be watching camellia when that happens...

A decent episode. I guess Guren isn't as rough and emotionless as she looks.

The kid is cute.
We got to see a different side to Guren.
The Shino/Hinata/Kiba/Yamato/Kakashi/Sai thing was good, how Konoha were sending more ninjas out, fight scenes will be interesting.

The thing I hate the most is that they just recycle the thing with (InsertKidThatLikesOrochimaruHere) & Orochimaru's reincarnation thingy.

Then again, it's a filler =\, pretty good for a filler.
BUT I WANNA SEE ITACHI AGAIN :(

this episode was ok,but then. I can't stand this new wanna-be subber.
that's my big concern that he leaves so much unsubbed. both the start nor the outro got subs, not even the baga stuff at the end of this episode either.

totally agree >.< i don't see the point for the current filler arc its going fine, but it seems they want to build a big gap between the anime and manga (even though the manga is way ahead at the moment >.>) just hope when this arc is finished there wont be a filler for a good period and get to the upcoming storylines!! XD

Is it ever gonna stop though?
Because I feel like the entire show is just filler, filler, filler, battle, filler filler filler.
From shippuuden 1 until now, and the next hundred episodes.
Like it will never stop, EVER. Is that just me?

Though, even though I see all these fillers, the overall entertainment is still 8.5/9.
That's why I'm still watching.

Also, I can't be the only one that thinks the chances of Sasuke coming back to Konoha are smaller then me going on a date with Sakura.

EDIT: Sorry, bit random questions. First time I spoke with anyone about Naruto.
(Well not yet, I hope someone replies)

Really... shes interesting? too me most naruto characters have a solid personality but i really wouldnt say they're anything special.

These are some crappy fillers right now. I rather watch Akatsuki blowing up the three tails instead of this. Animation is pretty crap too. It's all rigid and stiff.

Kabuto seemed completely out of character in this episode. Kinda sad really. He seemed too cocky and blabber-mouthed, not the typical calm collected calculating and manipulative guy he usually is. It's off if you ask me.

I think Kabuto is like this all the time. Especially during the fight between the Sanin. Kabuto couldn't keep his mouth shut when he was fighting Tsunade or Naruto. I think you've gotten used to his being terse since Shippuuden started since he's only really talking to Orochimaru. To everyone else besides Sasuke, he is very arrogant and circular.

atleast these fillers aint as far away from the main story as Bleach is. I guess you can see it as a "side story",that he's still in the same area,and still doing something else from what he's supposed to be doing.

So Yuukimaru is a boy... took me a while to decipher that xD his "somewhere to return to" blabbering was kinda annoying... cute, but still annoying. Glad to see Guren soften up a bit with him <3 and LOL at Shino in a cocoon xD

Well I can tell you now there will be a sad scene where the camillia wilts, probably in the kid's arm

The end part was okay if only an extension from a joke way early in Shippudenn.

In terms of quality, yeah it's very very clear and good. Well, I don't mind the filler. I just hate when the pace is too slow like nothing is happening. It's kinda a lil bit slow, but it's still ok.

I like that they are actually taking the time to develop these villains in this arc, which is something I wish would have happened with Hidan and Kakuzu in their respective arc. What some people see as "nothing happening" I see as some very well done characterization and set up for the characters.

I wish people would get over the "all filler is bad" mindset and take it for what it is. In this case, it's surprisingly well done, I think.

I feel like, since the last arc, Naruto has finally gotten back on track. The series, I mean.

Yeah me to. Some of these filler arcs not only just flesh out the main characters, but the villains as well which is really cool.

Don't worry you will see many complainers on this discussion forum for this arc lol.

Guren can be sweet if she wanted to. Yuukimaru is cute, but he is kinda annoying sometimes with his "home" talks. I feel sorry for him, though.

By the standards of an ep filler, this is a pretty interesting episode. Even the story of this ep has the quality of a show with real actors. I was quite surprised that someone as strong as Guren fell asleep even though she wasn't exhausted. And she summoned a fully furnished house in the middle of the forest, while Yamato has kekkei genkai Muton and he can only make a wooden house lol And I quite like the last zoom-out scene, it's a nice ending scene.
