THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First of all I want to say that it was obvious Sai was not going to get harmed for those who don't read the manga.

This was subbed btw you can get it here:

I don't wanna spoil it much yet since probably no one seen it yet :P.

Lol, yeah, pretty much.

I actually am glad that I watched this episode. I had forgotten the specifics of Danzou and what exactly occurred in the manga at this point, story wise with him. Now actually being reminded of these things now, a couple of the events in the manga further down the line might be more significant that I previously thought.

Anyway, episode was just as boring as the rest of Shippuuden.

Not that great of an episode, lots of stalling by repeating old stuff and filling with uselessness as usual.

Freaken SLOW MAN! Who's dumb ass idea was to make naruto shippoden such a long drawn out series, its like they intentionally slowing things down considerably, its nothing like the original naruto series. Very sad indeed :( Manga is so much better.

They are going slow intentionally. probably don't want the same thing to happen as it did in the original series. They caught up with the mangas and had to do about 100 or so filler episodes. First series was terrible because there was no plot 75% of its run, this time around they're going super slow which is another problem itself. Oh well, I keep watching for some reason...

I still cant get over how bad the end credits are, honestly, I truly believe the producers of this show are evil and loving every minute of this abomination of an adaptation.

I remain disappointed in Japanese otaku who sit idly by letting this human rights violation continue to be perpetrated. They should have attacked the TV building already.

But no, they're too busy jerking off to some moe crap right about now, GODAMNIT.

Decent episode and the pacing seemed fine to me. But yes, the manga is superior, and dare I say, the third best shounen running. Behind One Piece and Claymore :P

Too. Damn. Slow.
On the whole, I like the story but it's being deliberately hindered by constant recaps.
Message to the producers - We're big boys now. We remember things for longer than half an hour. Stop stalling for time and get on with the freakin' story!

Starting to think about it. The producers are pretty damn clever! By filling the episodes of flashbacks and recycled scenes. They can pretty much produce an entire episode without having to do any actual animating xD

The producers are probably yakuza, or indebted to the yakuza.

Or maybe its Korea's method of destroying Japan? I keep hearing about outsourcing animation to Koreans, I think I saw a few Korean names in the credits too.

I cant drop Naruto. I love the story, the characters, the concept. The manga is really good, Kishimoto is a good author.

I didnt watch the two years of fillers, because I hate fillers in principle.

As bad as this show gets, unless fillers rear their ugly heads, I just cant drop it.

:(

Yeah, the Manga is really good, and im still reading it. But the Series just go on my nerves.
I didnt watch the fillers either, but i must say that i liked them more than those stretched episodes cause i could skip them without missing some stuff that i wanted to see animated.

But im afraid i cant drop it either until fillers are showin' up in Shippuuden.
But..who knows. And maybe it will get better. I hope so.

Yeah, the pacing is really ruining the series for me. If they don't want to catch up with the manga they could still have some episodes that cover over 2 chapters, and some episodes that are slow paced. I've caught up to the latest chapter, and the only reason i'm still watching this is because i want to see the fights animed.

I have been watching naruto for years, season 1 drew me in.

I now watch it out of habit, and not out of love for the show. Its 20mins of a week so i can sit though it.

Imo, Shipuden has been so full of filler footage, stalling, dragged out that even the bits of key material feel like filler.

well.. im watching the old eps of naruto (the ones where they're trying to save sasuke by beating those 4-5 random ppl who were orochimaru's cronies or sumn)

and the two headed guy who faught kiba. just frickin summoned one of those gate things.

pretty amazing i think ><

I agree with: I rather watch fillers.
as long as they are not slow as this (I dont get why they make so slow) isnt the manga way far? -____-
naruto shippuuden is so slow for no reason. the story is so interesting but because it is this slow many people are dropping it
the producers have to know by now how much people dislike how slow it is (and they better) what is wrong with them Dx

Well, I watched quite an amount of fillers, so that's probably why I don't feel a slow pace. But once I catch up, which is just 4 more episodes, I guess I'll read the manga and then feel the Anime slow as hell. =p

Also... am I the only one who thought of Miroku form InuYasha when Yamato was using that weird technique on Naruto?

I'm calling bullshit on the whole "sai being a traitor" theory. Was anyone paying attention in the first episode? He was clearly allied with Naruto and Sakura.

Team Kakashi can't seem to catch a break, can they? All of their pretty boys get roped in by a creepy old man. Seriously though, how did Sai even know Orochimaru was gonna show up? According to Kabuto, he and Orochimaru were expecting Sasori, so it can't be an elaborate setup concocted by Orochimaru and Danzo. Unless Kabuto is talking out of his ass of course, which frankly wouldn't be the first time. Anyway, kinda intrigued by what's gonna happen next between Sai and Orochimaru. I doubt Sai will actually join Orochimaru's forces.
