Naruto General Discussion:
All Naruto discussion shall take place here Description: (www.animenfo.com) Quote:
To download anime episodes: http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/ To download manga chapters: http://www.narutochuushin.com/main.p...dia&page=manga My two cents is that these long ass fillers have driven most of the viewer base away towards bleach in particular. But good news only 5 more weeks of fillers left than we shall continue back on the lines of the manga. Episode 174 was particularly poor this week, anybody else notice a pattern or theme emerging in most of these episodes? I stopped reading the manga a while back otherwise I had no reason to watch the episodes, seriously I don't care anymore, they should let the manga and anime run at their own pace let the manga run ahead because they simply cannot write a qualitative departure from the manga, the fillers are so poor and repitative. I'd rather they would just take a break rather than butcher the series. As for episode 174 it was so poor I'd rather not bother discussing it. Anyhow thats my rant, discuss away. Current Episode: 19 Current Manga Chapter: 362 Number of weeks left of fillers: N/A |
pattern or theme emerging? how bout boredom!! like you said, these fillers are dragging on and on and on....
I was pretty surprised to see Sasuke at the side of Orochimaru. that got my hopes up, but only for a fleeting second. these next 5 weeks might be torture!! |

"I was too once like you all alone" "But my friends showed me the light and acknowledged me blah blah" This was once again prominant in the Kaima story line, is it me or is every character always made a loner like naruto and is then shown the light? Its so predictable nowadays. |
I'm waiting until the fillers end just to start watching it again. I have the patience to do so... Either way, the fillers aren't all that great anyway. <_<
|
Personally, the last few fillers were decent. Not amazing, but they were okay. I really don't see what the big deal is, so what if the series is getting longer? I hated the animation in the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight, though. It was sloppy.
|
Quote:
I'm sorry but the fillers have just left the series dead these past few months. Even if they did something with jiraya for a few episodes I would have been happy. |
Well, the next arc should be good. I mean, Kiba and Hinita make an appearance, so, it should be something to look forward to.
|
Pretty much the only thing keeping me going is the Manga. The thought of the surprises at chapter 300 keep me hoping something big happens soon. As for the anime, they should just end the fillers and take a break. I'd rather have a very short season [full of fillers] than water down the quality of the Naruto story. Just think the Cartoon Network viewers will have to wait years until they get to see the crap that's on right now.
|
I tried watching the fillers but I got bored of them and they are just wasting space on my hard drive. Is anything worth watching in which they may mix into the main storyline the later episodes of the main plot?
I'm just sticking to the Manga, its alot more interesting: Spoiler:
|
Ya, i'm seriously thinking about reading teh manga now. After Sasuke left, everything is has been filler. Its getting ridiculous. Also, the drawings and the characters of the other villages and stuff has just hit rock bottom. Yea, i'm gonna wait a while before i dl naruto again. the fillers are soo boring to watch too.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah, the fillers have been pretty weak. The recent one was interesting for a bit, but I'm kind of sick of it now. I thought I heard somewhere that this would be the last filler, or that fillers would be done this month or something. Can anyone verify this?

Is it me or has Naruto gotten weak? He had to summon the frog against the fish dude. that guy didn't seem strong in the first place. i was if it was overkill... Whne Naruto fought Sasuke, he seemed to be much stronger than he is now. just my opinion... |
once these crappy fillers are gone the show will be good again! yaya!
|
I've only really got into this series over the past few months so i'm only on episode 83 currently so i can't comment on the fillers, but i am loving this anime and the manga is pretty good as well. Although to me the anime follows the manga pretty much exactly (obviously aside from the fillers you're talking about)
|
I don't think it's official yet that "Naruto 2" will begin with the Kakashi Gaiden, no? I think it's possible that Kakashi's childhood story will be done in the form of a movie or OVA.

I'm still following the Naruto manga, but I really haven't watched the anime since back in June when I was in Japan. I've heard nothing but bad things about the filler, so I have no motivation to watch. To be honest though, until recently, I felt the manga was dragging as well, so I'm not even excited to see them return to the manga arcs. The whole Sasori part was boring as hell to me. Recently however, I think the Naruto manga has been returning to the reasons that I read the manga in the first place. Giving Naruto some face time. I mean, the series is called Naruto, after all.

Naruto's definitely not weaker than he was when he fought Sasuke. |
Sadako:
There has just been little going on in the anime as of lately to really let him "shine" (AKA: Have a real shinobi to fight). |
Yes!!
The end of the seemingly endless fillers is almost here. Only five more weeks of mediocre stoyline and animation to endure. Hope fully the animation will be back at the quality level which was normal before the fillers more than a year ago. I'm really looking forward to finally see the main story continue. :D |
Anyone else gonna watch the last few episodes before the fillers started and then skip the 20-something of them or whatever...to see if we missed anything? :p
|
Nothing's been missed, otherwise we'd be seeing a shitload of screencaps on 4chan or Narutofan.com.
I need my post-timeskip fights now. |

I remember watching the seasons in bulk, spending eight hours at a time watching Naruto (blows away the freqency of CN's release of Nauro, which is why I have no patience for the fillers). |
I just watched Naruto 171 for whatever reason. What is this.
Spoiler:
The animation was pretty bad. I felt like I was watching an episode of Jem. I'd take a screencap but VLC is being pretty gay. Anko appears in one scene totally out of proportion. That's unacceptable. |
Are you kidding? Do you remember the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight? During the climax, the animation was poorly done.
|
i thought it looked fine and mature. they only focused on the fight and added a little flcl feel to it so that the movement and fighting can be a lil more interesting. at least thats how i feel about it

As far as animation quality goes, it seems like the put the most work into the:

I actually loved the animation in episode 133, otherwise known as the BEST PART OF THE SASUKE/NARUTO FIGHT. A lot of the action was filler, but it was nicely animated and choreographed.
But I do agree. Screenshots of that episode (or even the Orochimaru/Sasuke fight in episode 30) are ugly as homemade sin. |
The funny thing is you don't notice this stuff if you follo the action. Some poepl just have too much time to scan the video frame by frame and find these rush jobs.
|
It's not even really a rush job. The simpler the artwork, the easier it is to animate. Naruto doesn't have the budget an anime like Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig would have (and even then the actual frames aren't detailed to hell). It also doesn't need it, as the fights are still enjoyable. I'm more interested in what the characters are doing rather than whether or not I can see their dandruff.
|
Quote:
they decided to leave the fighting animation to the ones that didflcl.. but yeah its obvious that the 2nd one looks better. |

|
Oh, I've seen that thread. Pretty ridiculous stuff.
And I just realized that you had a GiTS signature. What a coincidence (referring to my earlier comment). |
Quote:
It's utterly funny how the plot to a filler can be so much worse than the worst source material. It's like they can't think idependantly of Kishimoto. |
Quote:
And I must admit, this last filler (174) was by FAR, THE WORST EVER. HOLY CRAP... I was embarrassed while watching it, and no one was even home. It was shit. K gave my two cents.. Ps... can't wait till these things are over, I wanna see some kakashi :p . |
Quote:
|
Anyone worried about the manga?
Spoiler:
|
I think that the worst set of animation is during the chuunin exams when Sasuke shows up. Did you see his bangs? They were like giant paddles on the side of his face! And don't even get me started on what they did to poor Gaara.

Spoiler:
There's always the possibility of Naruto turning into a DBZ clone. A lot of people believe it already has, but it's just sticking somewhat closely to the rules of "shonen manga." That's pretty irritating, sure, but it's to be expected. Remember, this manga's targeted towards little Japanese kids with ginormous backpacks. |
The difference between battles (What I assume to resemble DBZ...I won't go into power levels) is that Dragonball takes 4 episodes for an attack, but 4 episode fights in Naruto actually have a variety of things occuring.
|
Quote:
so just because of a good looking fight.. it already haspeople thinking its like dbz...-sighs-. oh well. Spoiler:
btw.. if were talking manga.. we have to make another thread so that anime and manga doesn't clash together..just letting ya know/remember |
Here's the reason Naruto is not like DBZ:

im pretty sure the filler will probaly end this week if not.. then maybe the week after next week.. and if not that then maybe end of march or middle of april... |

Actually I'll add this to the first post to show how many are left.

Good God, FINALLY! I remember back in November how supposedly they were going to start airing the Kakashi Gaiden saga, and then they said April...I weeped tears of sadness ;_;
|
sup Spoiler.
|
It's good to see that number going down. Five more weeks of filler shouldn't be that bad. I haven't been watching them anyway, and I'm eager to start a new arc.

I'm just saying he didnt really refer to the plot at all. Just the title. |
The anime reverts to the manga story line in april.... so another month of fillers then we're done!
I'm so happy :D and no the kakashi flashback doesn't give anything away really - just gives more insight to the Fourth and how similar his is to Naruto *cough* their related *cough* *cough* Naruto is probably his son *cough*.... |

and so.. another crappy ass filler episode is done being watched..

Speaking of Naruto....techniques and names are butchered in the American game. Looks like I'll trade it for that Japanese copy and get my mod chip in. :(

i did like the episodes with hinata and naruto at least.
btw..did anyone catch chapter 298??? let me know what you think |

The fillers are terrible. The Bug Search episodes were only decent because Hinata was featured. Watching Naruto Rasengan every other "boss" is getting pretty out of hand.

The end of fillers should be in about two or three weeks, at which point the anime will follow the manga again. |
Yeah, four more weeks until the fillers come to a close.
Some of the fillers, however are pretty good. Mostly the episodes that deal with Kiba, and Hinata. Why? I don't know, I just find their missions appealing. |
It's a pity that the manga hasn't really focused on any of the other Rookie 9. I found the majority of them way more interesting than the main characters. The fillers should've just focused on those teams doing missions, as opposed to whoring Naruto to every other team.
|
I guess that would contradict the name of the anime, huh?
Anyway, seriously? No mentioning of the other rookies? That's a shame. Well, at least they included the rookies in the fillers, so there's a plus. |
i really want Hyuuga Neji and Sasuke to fight. this whole Sasuke,Sakura, Naruto thing might become a love triangle >.<

anyway, i thought the same, more mission for the other teams. |

Well, what he did with Kakashi really turned me off. That was the last thing I wanted to see him do.
Spoiler:
I'm just waiting for the other characters to shine. After all of this build-up with their development pre-timeskip, they seem to have all gone to waste. I understand Kishimoto's developing (or attempting to develop) the plot for Part 2, and that's why he's focusing on Team 7. It's just that we've seen at least two long arcs in Part 2 with very little from the others. Spoiler:
EDIT: Also, for those watching the Naruto dub on Cartoon Network, it's taking a month long break to make room for Miyazaki's films that are being aired. I'm really only interested in how Orochimaru's going to sound, since the preview they aired yesterday showed him fighting Anko in the Forest of Death. |
Oh man Emmanual Lewis, I want to hear oro too! LOL, this is going to be FUNNY. Dub should die -_-.
Spoiler:

Quote:
Spoiler:
as for the dub. i really think orochimaru's voice will be david lucas..it just sounds right. and im sure david lucas can do a million voices in one anime. he's done it once. |
The dubs aren't as bad as people make them out to be. They're fairly well done, with the exception of a few really grating voices (Naruto's, for example, but it's slowly getting better). Gai's voice actually destroys the original Japanese VA's.
|
Quote:

Quote:
But the single-largest annoyance is Naruto in English always yelling "Believe it!" The only voice actor in English that I really like no matter what character he played (although I wanted him for Kakashi) was Steve Blum. He was unfortunately squeezed into just a few episodes Spoiler:
|
i still await brian drummond's voice as itachi u.u
|
Personally, the dub isn't amazing, but it isn't bad either. I was still upset that Viz got a hold of it..
|
I don't think it's that bad either. I never expected getting used to Naruto's voice, but I eventually did. There are still plenty of voices that could be better and I think that it will improve, no doubt.
I still think Kakashi's voice is miscast, though. =| He doesn't sound so laid back and covered with a mask over his mouth like the original. Kakashi also has his silly moments and so far, dub Kakashi didn't really have the voice for it. That's the only real complaint I have. |
Personally, I loved Zabuza's and the Hokage's voice. It suits them quite well. Sasuke isn't half bad, either.
|
Out of all the anime filler so far was there anything more revealed than
Spoiler:
The fake Rock and Gai really annoyed me, making me feel that I really wasted 30 minutes of my life moreso watching that particular episode. The Noroimusha thing bothered me a lot too, knowing that the odds of Naruto and group ever returning to these village is slim to none. There's no lasting connection in helping everyone in these villages overcome their feelings, since we never really see them after the group leaves, in each case. |
Quote:
The main problem I have is the main characters voices exaggerate their personality too much, be more subtle, like their Japanese counterparts. |
lol, i kinda agree
but then again, the most popular animes are usually the ones that get msot anttention and everyone exspects it to be super super good dubbing. when really, it would sound exacly the same on a crappy anime, and no one would notice it. i think every animes dubbings have the same voices...well, most of the main characters voices anyway |
dub<sub in alot of cases, sure once in a while we find a decently dubbed anime . You cant blame dubs because they are a translation, 1 degree seperated from the original which is designed to fit the language in which it was produced in.
|
you know..Gundam Wing is another perfect example. I had no problem with the dubbing and they got the right voice actors for each character.. i really wanted Ocean Group to be a part of it too.
|
Most of Funi's dubs are top notch. FMA, Yu Yu Hakusho..
|
The only thing i hated of funimation (Around that time) is when they changed music for dbz , the movies and dbgt. the least they did for showing a shard of apology is leaving the music for db alone. other than that. they are doing well. they obtained speed grapher and sunabouzu so i look forward to that some time soon. this is what i think so far for the future v.acting in the dub:
Scott McNeil (duo maxwell,protoman,koga) should've been Kira Brian Drummond (Zechs Marquise,Allen Schezar,Vegeta) or Mark Hildreth (Heero Yuy) should be Itachi Uchiha. think about it.. Neji, Sasuke,Gaara and Shikamaru sound almost the same >.>.. |
...
Orochimaru MUST get Frieza's dub voice. I won't accept anyone else. =0 |
:)
That'd be awesome. I think I can picture Goten for Naruto. Future Trunks for Kabuto, and Yusuke for Kiba? |
episode 176 is out..... wait. it says 26 MORE weeks of filler???!!!! say it ain't so!!!! this better be an early April Fools Joke!!!!
|
hahah, that was cheesy. he got so mad you saw his kyuubi eyes.
yeah, last week said 4 more weeks but now they say 26... another half year... they should just take a break like tsubasa chronicles. |
I'm kinda slow with watching these episodes, as I'm pretty unmotivated to/they're getting uninteresting. The art quality definitely sickened me in 175. I don't even know why I keep going with the series. I really want to just wait until fillers are done, but the sentimentality of just going through all of them persists. Damn.

Overall, 176 is good. A little humor here and there, but I liked it. |
chapter 299 came out
Spoiler:
And someone mentioned the dbz voices for naruto..........there are so many things wrong with that. The Naruto series tries to stray from the similarities of dragonball, the last thing it needs is the full cast of the american voices of dbz for naruto. Why would you want more dragonball >_< |
26 more fillers, lol. the anime should stop before its getting too bored. i already quit watching the anime and started reading the manga
-- why was my account deleted? too much inactivity? |
Wait a sec, didn't they say that there were 26 episodes like, 18 weeks ago? Agh, this isn't right.
I am curious as to who they're going to get to do the voice for Orochimaru. Personally, I'd like him to have the same voice that Vicious from Cowboy Bebop. I mean, they got Steve Blum in there, but he's in everything. He's like the white Samuel L Jackson of voiceacting. |

Any confirmation yet on the 26 more weeks of fillers or are we gonna wait until next week to see what the deal is?

u.u -sighs-. its supposed to be in the spring so its not too long from now.
the next episode will have jiraiya in it. it should end very soon |
The 26 week shit was an obvious joke by DB. Fillers should end after the upcoming arc with the Hoshikage nonsense.
|
yeah. i thought we covered this a few posts back?
|
... ¬_¬
I was just backing you up, because people still think the DB statement was true. |
i really dont like the way things are going with the fillers. at least this week's episode of naruto and jiraiya will be ok. haven't seen that guy in a while since..reading one of the recent chapters of the manga.

I have to be Naruto's biggest fan! Does anyone have any episodes over 30 with english subtitles?

Anyways, I don't see why some of you thought ep 177 was bad. I thought it was funny. The fillers that are only 1 ep I think are the best. I mean I did love to learn about Anko and other people, but, the long arc fillers are usually VERY sucky overall..... except hinataxnarutoxkiba ones. |
I guess its cause most of the Jiraiya episodes aren't funny anymore =/..
|
He wasn't funny in the first place. The only good moment was when he was sleeping and surrounded by paper balls. But that was an unintentional shot, so it doesn't count. The one-shot filler episodes are just kids humor.
|
i always thought that one episode where Naruto pictures Jiraiya's face (STRIKE!!) was funny u.u.
Spoiler:
EDIT : Narutfan confirmed it : Quote:

So they wouldn't catch up to the manga? =/ Everyone knows about it. The manga is the guideline in Naruto and the anime can't pass it.
*btw, episode 155 and 156 were the worst episodes in terms of everything |
Quote:
|
which brings me to my next question : When will the second movie come out ? We all seen the first one I hope. THAT was also garbage . I was hoping we see something good out of kakashi when he was in anbu. Instead. we got like 3-5 seconds of him riding with his animals >.>.
|
@Chato: The second movie will be released on DVD sometime in April (it's with the knights and castles and shit) and the third movie with the animals will air this summer.
@Sega: Keep in mind that it takes a couple of weeks to make one anime episode, which is two manga chapters. When the fillers are done, they can make one season (26 episodes) at most. The manga is about 30 anime episodes ahead, so it isn't that much. They will definitely make more fillers after the first season of Part 2 or maybe inbetween the episodes. Fillers were a good idea to enlarge the gap between manga and anime, it's just too bad that they sucked hard. |

Why does Sasuke get so much hate, though? Sure he's angsty, but at least it's for good reason. Plus, he's a kid. Dude gets his entire family and clan massacred by his own brother and he gets UBER GENJUTSU'd twice. He's not a Terminator.

Sasuke sucks period. Sure he got his little gay shringan eyes, but still gay. He is just gay. No one wants him. IMO it was a little excuse for him to leave the village since no one wanted that ugly bastard in their sight.

He sucks ass.
He is a bastard that couldn't do shit so he left. He sucks even more. He is lame as hell. His attitude in the manga/anime is gay. He needs go and see a doctor. |

So the fillers will end in a few weeks right. Have they been in, any point, had an important part of the story in which they may mention later on.
Chapter 301 was a bit of a dissapointment to me, it really didn't go anywhere. I'll just wait to see how it goes on. |
and so will the next one. when the chapter reads, 3 years, i pretty much get the feeling it will talk about those 3 years of training or something.

Orochimaru's "VA" revealed
Was Orochimaru always in the guise of a woman when he first shows up? In the Japanese dub it was difficult to tell. Nevertheless, he sounds like a far less-raspy Freeza. I forgot that his voice does go through a change when he confronts Anko in episode 30, so I imagine the dub's will get deeper as well. I give Orochimarina's dub VA a 4 ... out of 5. |
I give 1 out of 10000000. Sucks ass period.
|
well if its a girl, then its probably just for that. When Orochimaru is...Orochimaru, it should be better. some dubbing companies do shit like that. Take yugi-oh for example. they messed up marikku's voice acting with two different voices.
|
Eh, you can get a good impression of Orochimaru's voice when he faces Anko. Now it's still the Grass ninja.
|
"Still" you mean. Didn't he make his own little clan years and years ago? And he was on "badside" to start off with since he wasn't picked as kage.
|
I meant that he was still in the Grass ninja disguise, so he also has a different voice... ¬_¬
|
They do too much editing in Naruto... even dripping blood is cut out...
|
to be quite honest.. The voice of freezer in the dub wasn't so bad. that could've been good on the female grass shinobi-orochimaru.

The anime is still available uncut online for download, and the DVDs themselves are supposed to be uncut once they're released. I really see no reason to complain when, unlike 4kids' bastardization of several anime, Naruto is at least being given fair treatment. |
very true. Look at One Piece =/..
|
Do you all think that the speed of the anime is slower than normal? I seem to think that way.
|
Dub is really bad. I'm trying not to complain, but, I don't like Naruto's voice in the Dub. Sasuke's is EVEN WORSE. The orochimaru in the girls body doesn't seem to bad, atleast the VA actually puts some emotion into it unlike Naruto and Sasuke's VA's.
So the Filler this week was alright, I guess, but, still your average sucky filler. I'm not excited for next weeks at all except the fact that it's Naruto, and it is the best.............. So I predict the first non-filler episode will be on the 27th... what do you guys think? |

Yeah, and replaced with a Naruto manga thread.
I try not to read too much manga because I'de rather take in all this new naruto material watching anime. If I read the manga then when I watch the new animes it won't have the "new" feel to it because I already read it. I want the "new" feel for the anime :edgarrock: |
My thoughts are totally different, I'd be very hyped up to see the stuff i read in the manga into an anime. Just like i saw Rock Lee vs Kimimaru, They did exactly what i predicted it to be. It wasn't dragged on, Rock Lee had his spotlight and we moved on.
Im interested to see a few of these fights that are coming up in the anime. Spoiler:

So, at what episode are the fillers stopping/stopped? and what episodes of there fillers where good, so i can mark them and watch them at some point or another...
|
Quote:
The short answer is, google it. Narutofan it. Or quite possibly two weeks. Nobody knows for certain! There are zero good filler episodes. Even with Hinata as the featured heroine, all of the filler is even more worthless than my sex drive. Save your hard drive space and your time and wait for various anime boards, this one thread included, to explode like children in Iraq when Naruto Part 2 hits the airwaves. |
Quote:
|
Hinata's new move was a stationary bug spray. She moves her hands really fast and forms a dome comprised of chakra lasers. I wasn't very impressed, especially since, as far as we know, it's not a canon-move.
I dunno. There was all this build-up and the move was really pretty disappointing to me. |
I thnk the best filler with Hinata was when she was training naked in the waterfall. blah its already said. Naruto and Hinata will get together. >.<
|
No way. I would have to hit myself if they do. And I would do it again if Saukra goes for Sasuke after what happend.
|
If Sakura ends up with Naruto it'd be horribly cliche and retarded.
Naruto won't end up with anybody. He'll become 'hokage' in spirit alone and die for the greater good. Or he'll just leave forever. Hinata will end up with Kiba (eugh) and Sakura will have Ino. |
Sasuke doesn't give a shit about Sakura anymore lol. And if they do something as to :

Well, there are a few episodes I liked.
Spoiler:
Yeah, I can't remember much, sorry. Anyway, this is what I think, and I liked them, >_> |
those filler episodes dont even need to be in spoilers lol. But, the one with the bikochu was kool. I liked when Shino would go up to Naruto's face and say that he is the leader and blah blah.
|
It's still spoiling something, :(
Yeah. At least the fillers give the spotlight to the other characters. I mean, there's really nothing wrong with that. |
yeah we talked about it a few posts back. The thing is about the fillers is that its also fake. Seeing Hinata do some interesting moves may not be in the manga. Thats what bothers me a bit about them.
|
I'd personally like to see Hinata, a hand-to-hand fighter, use something other than chakra bug spray. I realize Naruto is a shounen manga, but I'm getting tired of the only characters doing any true fighting having dicks (Sakura excluded, she redeemed herself in Part 2).
Hopefully after the current arc in the manga, we'll get to see the other female characters having actually developed in more than just breast size. |
just saw another 'rousin episode of Naru-Fill. There's a new opening that almost sounds like that one song from the Great Outdoors. The ED theme is so so. Next episode will be a filler continuation, get into it >.>...
|
Quote:
I, for one, would like Kurenai and Tsunade beat the shit out of something. :) |
New ED song for Naruto. I like it, sounds very good.
Parade was pretty good but this is good too so I don't mind the take over. "Yellow Moon" by Akeboshi The credit scene is nice to watch too but why do they have cell phones.. |
|
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right. Don't dry with fakes or fears, 'Cause you will hate yourself in the end. I miss wind. |
That was actually one of the few anime songs I liked. Good times.
|
i was hoping some akatsuki members would show up. I guess this opening will go away after kakashi gaiden...or something.
btw. if you encounter a 3rd OST. edit : nvm. its the real thing. probably thought it was fake from all times they played the songs >.>.. here's the 3rd http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...E06DALSIG6PED6 edit again : now im seriously confused. is the 3rd one new or not? |
no, the 3rd ost has been out for nearly a year now

I guess Kishimoto couldn't think of any new ways to milk Sasuke so he just didn't make a new chapter this week... |
Naruto isn't the only one. The new chapters for One Piece and Death Note aren't around either.
Anyone find any spoiler pics? |
New chapters usually come late night Thursdays or Friday morning. I'm a little surprised we haven't seen a raw by now, but whatev.

Well what's Kishimoto waiting for?
Spoiler:

New chapters have always been early morning thursday for me. I guess there just wont be a chapter this week. Or maybe it was a publication problem or something =/

Yeah I also get mine in the morning as well. My only guess is that its somewhere in another site. Can't always rely on toshokan. I found Death Note 104 RAW so if thats around then Naruto's should be as well. maybe we'll get it today.
|
Naruto was in this week's SJ, but it seems we won't be getting an early, low-quality RAW this week. So it may not be until the weekend, when the HQ RAW hits, that we'll be able to get 302.

The raw for chapter 302 is available on Narutofan. It was just released.

Personally, the fillers aren't that bad. I mean, the current one is fairly decent. |
Apparently someone on Wikipedia was not so happy about the fillers continuing. Well it's not that bad, but still I haven't continued my online watching of the Japanese episodes since #164 rolled around. Really, how much longer are they going to punish us?

164? Some of the fillers have been pretty decent past 164.

another 2 episodes were shown on that exact list i put up. its another Kiba episode following an episode called "Laughed SHINO". So now Im going to say we have not just 2 but 4 more episodes to see the Kakashi gaiden.. followed by anothe filler episodes..and so on u.u.
You know....*ahem* fuuuuuuck it >.> |
Yeah, I gave up. I'm just going to wait for some image board to spam screenshots of the timeskip episodes before I even bother caring about what happens in the anime again.

The Fillers are definately annoying, BUT, at least we have movie 2 to look forward to.
http://a.scarywater.net/db/nmovie2.torrent I just got through the first 14 mins of the movie. Its alot better than the first one. Unlike part 1 , i didn't skim through the damn thing. edit : Its official. This movie is better than the first. |
Yeah, the movie didn't leave me with a feeling like "Bleeeeegh sucked.". It was not a great movie, but it wasn't filler terrible, either. I agree with Chato that it's better than the first one, even if that one had more gore. It's worthy of a download (just to see a Gainax-like Sakura).
|
I just read about the Naruto movie #3 is coming out on narutofan.com. It sounds like a movie that is just milking its way out. Any of you guy's opinion?
|
Not sure. I liked the 2nd movie, I'm hoping the 3rd will be even better?
It's just that, I'm getting a bit tired of Sakura. It'd be awesome of all 9 (or 8, actually) rookies were in the 3rd movie, >_> |
OR.... We can have a naruto movie WITHOUT Naruto ? and be about Rock Lee, Shino and Neji.

Bleach also have fillers though... However, unlike Naruto, the fillers have that "Bleach feeling" in it. Naruto have a lot of potential in making the fillers. But they made a terrible job out of it that I refuse to let my brother download Naruto episodes, wasting my hard drive space. |
Has anyone heard anything about the fourth OST coming out yet? They usually come out 1st quarter each year (this being the first year one didn't). I would be very, very disappointed if they stop releasing the soundtracks since there is so much music unreleased yet (like Haku and Orochimaru's(his real theme) themes!)
|
There's a remix of Orochimaru's theme that I heard during the Sound Five arc, minus the female chanting. I don't think that ever made the cut on the third OST, and somehow I don't think it'll make the fourth. I thought it was pretty neat, but was more than likely just a quick mix for certain scenes.
|
Just a question for the few anime followers in this thread. Apparently, the so-called fillers have gone on for quite a while, and I can see a unanimous conclusion that they suck. However, even though everyone thinks so and wants to get on with the main story, they insist on continuing to watch these fillers. Why would anyone in theiir right mind do that?
|
That's a question I've asked filler-watchers, with which some have replied "I want to see it all."
They're masochistic retards if you ask me. |
*not aimed at anyone*
Why waste 30 mins of your life watching a bunch of fillers? Just go on Anime News Network and check the list of New Episodes. 187 is shown on the list . Looks like another filler episode. 2005-05-31 187. Business Starting!! Konoha House Moving Center Since this episode is airing the last day of May. You think MAYBE we can get something to pick up in June? *cough*no*cough* >.>;;; |
It appears the fillers are going to continue until the end of May, or maybe as long as mid-June. Wow, I can't believe I've been watching a year's worth full of fillers..
Still, I only watch fillers because I really have nothing else to do. Plus, I like most of the Naruto fillers. |
They should really just take a break between seasons, that'd let them make better fillers (because you know they would in spite of the pause). It's a quantity vs quality issue. If FOX released shows weekly in stead of in seasons (with a 3-9 month pause), I'm sure most of the episodes would suffer for quality.
Is the appeal of almost a full 52 episodes a year worth the sharp decline in quality? |
Chapter 306's final pages had me thinking of this...

Everybody had a problem with the five pages of silence in 306. I can see why it would irritate some, but come on. It was simply to build up the drama. My only real complaint is that it took six chapters for anything remotely interesting to occur.

If the art was better, I wouldn't mind. But it has been decreasing for a long time now. The characters now have copy and paste faces.

Naruto has really gone downhill in my book, a lot of the fans I knew off stopped watching after the zabuza arc. I guess it was the animation quality and story, so then the animation started to dwindle, but now the stories themselves are boring as hell (save a couple of funny moments)
I dunno if I can keep watching this series |
it does get a little boring when Jiraiya trains Naruto the first time.. But the rest is good. Just dont watch the fillers. Only this week's filler episode is good for those shino fans that always wanted him to smile or some shit lol

Well you may be right there Kaiten, actually I agree with you with the animation quality, but the story became almost too dragonballish, which is what all my friends hate for some reason.

bleach is "evolving" into naruto wannabe .. and thats sad .. .. ... :cussing: |
I kinda makes you wonder if any fighting anime that has been a seasonal thing (not just 20 something episodes) has been able to be successful without going the dragonball route. I can't think of any at the moment.
|
I think you're forgetting that this is A SHONEN ANIME. Not only is Kishimoto a huge Dragonball fan, the series is simply stuck in the shonen genre. That's what it is. Bleach happens to be a shonen anime/manga as well.
Because of the genre, it's very easy to tell how characters will grow and where a plot may go. Dragonball and it's sequels practically made the genre and it's cliches. Fortunately some shonen manga manage to break out of it's mold and do something refreshing or unexpected. When watching Naruto, you kind of have to keep this in mind. If you don't, the show and the manga will suck for more than poor storytelling or animation in recent chapters/episodes. The series is definitely in a slump now, but I wouldn't say that it's going to last for long. Hopefully. |
Also, the first two seasons were excellent. If you and your friends stopped watching during them, then you might as well avoid any other Shonen series.

Yu Yu Hakusho had about 112 episodes. None of them really failed though the last arc was a little rushed, I didn't mind it one bit. Thats another shounen jump series you should look into.

I've been a long time without watching Naruto because of those annoying fillers. If they were at least watchable but most of them are a pain in the ass.
I've heard a rumor that these fillers have an exact number before the series comes back to being good again. Anyone knows (if this is slightly true) when will these fillers end so we get back to the main plot of the anime ? In a discussion thread before about fillers asking if we were in favor or against it, I said I was in favor, but after watching about 30 fillers I belive there were at most 5 I liked. Now I'm in favor of giving the anime a break, they could put a few fillers between sagas but this many in a row is more than I can take. |

It'd be so much easier if they had told everyone that the filler would start Fall 2k5 til the Fall 2k6 instead of bullshitting us like that. The Manga does make up for it at least. If anything, we'll probably get it in the summer if not the summer then like i said, Fall 2k6 lol.

I've watched most of the fillers, but I stopped a while ago. I forget just how long. About a hundred and seventy-something, I believe. The only anime episodes that I will watch again are those that took place before the first filler. The manga is good enough that I don't need that crap. |
Talk about Abuse of Power. >.>..
Nah but 26 episodes or not.. I wouldn't waste my time download them at all. You should know already that Naruto is now popular in the States and for that, There will be TONS of fillers for the kids that wont know much of the hell is going on despite the serious story that is going on. That could be another reason.. |
Quote:

They should do what One Piece is doing. cause if you look at it, One Piece Anime and Manga are very tight together and to prevent the anime from getting close to it, they don't make filler arcs (though they have) or inbetween filler episodes (like you said ) . It's simple, dont air the episodes.
This goes for Bleach as well. Its falling into that category unless they do something about it. I dont know how that's going into adult swim ...seriously. In short, we thank our friend SJ for the long running arcs. I dont mind if DN becomes longer in the 1st arc ^^;. |
So seriously, does anyone know when the fillers will stop? I mean they're starting to go into 1 based eps and there is no more storyline arcs. Does that mean we are getting close?

Double crap, I haven't read the manga scanlations in ages too...I hafta catch up. Can anyone tell me what filler eps (give numbers) has Shikamaru in it? I'd like to take some screengrabs of him. |
:( darn. who would of thought, Naruto started out soo promising and now its just... they killed the ratings. bah!!
|
Actually, the most recent filler plot line isn't too bad. I think it started about 187? Somewhere around there, but it looks promising as well as having the GOOD animators back in action.
|
Yeah, I thought the current filler arc is decent, with the battles being less mindless than just throwing in characters and then have Naruto pull a Rasengan. Regardless, I do wish they would finish up the fillers, but as of right now, there's at least one or two more eps of fillers just for finishing up this arc.
|
I've just assumed that the reason behind all of the fillers is related to one of the voice actors and an inability to have them in the studio and thus progressing the story. I wish more fillers were like the uhh--snake girl one. It took a past incident and elaborated on the storyline. Rather than presenting new silly villains, present those not previously shown, but can be related to the past of one of the characters.
|
You know, a good replacement for fillers is just watching the saturday night episodes on CN. I guess they are allowing the word "Hell" to be spoken by Kakashi . I think there on episode 39 ? Its where Kakashi and Orochimaru meet up together during the preliminaries. Watching that arc over again is alot better than the fillers.
|
Good lord, I just found this on another forum I frequent:
http://sdcc15.ucsd.edu/%7Eraliu/gallery/cam.gif I don't know if that's hommage or not, but damn... |
Yeah, they ripped it off. Episode 133 also had Sasuke doing some poses that were ripped off from a movie (right before Naruto runs up the wall where Sasuke is standing).
|
Spoiler:
|
The "rip-offs" weren't rip-offs, they were homages. Seriously. The animation teams who worked on the Neji/Naruto fight either worked on the Cowboy Bebop movie or referenced it, ala Tarantino. Same with Sasuke's poses, which come from some famous martial arts flick.
It's pretty common in film and animation and even writing. Are there rip-offs? Definitely, but more stuff this blatant is an homage. |

Someone needs to have some sort of giant poster/picture/gif thing to wake me up when the fillers are done. I held out till the start of february and gave up on the fillers. I mean, they haven't even started the Kakashi Gaiden arc yet in the anime have they?
Its a shame how much potential was wasted in this show due with fillers and such, but I'd have been happier with no filler and just having seperate seasons rather than fillers through out the year. |
Well I don't know why people are complaing about filler. The people who are complaining about the filler obviously knows the reason it is there. So it gives manga a spare time to go further so anime doesn't catch up in couple episodes.
Of course if they have seprated season wouldn't it be like Full Metal Alchemist? 2 total different stories? That would mess up a lot of fans IMO. |

I took a break from Naruto.. stopped at episode 170. May do a marathon soon. :) Has it got better now? Asking because my interest went to Bleach.

It's gotten worst along with Bleach's filler arc. Nothing interesting in the shounen jump animes but One Piece.

Break from Naruto?
Add the Nano country into the mix of countries Naruto helps out that we're not likely to ever see again. Stubborn princess, and a trio of invading ninjas with some kooky jutsus and standard "I'll protect you!" fare. Next episode preview appears to be of Ino and ugly people. Ugh. |
These fillers are just getting worse and worse. How far along do they need to realize that they should probably just take a break instead of making the show crappy...The manga however is getting good as usual...

"It's Kakashi-sensei's birthday!" カカシ先生の誕生日だってばよ！Kakashi-sensei no tanjōbi dattebayo! MAYBE..but since this is all of a sudden going to Kakashi. This should have the return of the real arcs starting with episode 198-199 being an hour special. 200 might be it >.< |
I think I need to soak my eyeballs in petrol and set them alight after watching episode 192, oh deary me.

I've still heard so many different things about when the fillers are going to stop.
As for me, I have no opinion on when they are going to stop. I heard many good ideas of when other people think they are going to stop, but, we just don't know do we? Or does somone here know the exact date? I have just ignored the fillers for the past 12 episodes I believe. I'm happy about it too. I'm watching Naruto over again, and dang is the "feel" of the show COMPLETELY different when it's not fillers. These fillers just suck and it almost killed Naruto. If they continue on with this, when the real eps come back, it just might be ruined. Opinions? |
changing a little the subjetcs, the current opening and ending for naruto are excellent.
RE:member is an excellent song! and Yellow Moon is so beutiful, akeboshi have beautiful songs on naruto. at least they are taking the music factor seriously |

As I've said before, some of the filler arcs are quite amusing. Infact, I loved that Shino/Naruto one episode arc. |

I have to say it a great show. Even if some of the episode aren't really relivant to any thing else. It just something to make to wait for the most exciting stuff and to make the show last longer.

Looks like the fillers are finally ending. Titles for 200-201:
200: 木ノ葉の黄色い閃光は現われる! Konoha's Yellow Flash Appears! 201: カカシ の破損! 写輪眼 は覚醒する Kakashi's Tears! The Sharingan Awakens Looks like they are splitting Kakashi Gaiden into 2 episodes which I'm kind of sad I wish they could have added at least a little more to it. |
200. Konoha's Yellow Flash Appears!
木ノ葉の黄色い閃光は現われる! Konoha Kiiroi Senkou wa Arawareru! Kakashi Gaiden Starts!!!!! 201. Kakashi Break Down! The Sharingan Awakens カカシの破損! 写輪眼 は覚醒する Kakashi no Hason! Sharingan wa Kakusei suru 204. end of Kakachi Gaiden, 205 begin of Next Generation So wait . When it says Next Generation. They mean years later and Naruto and everyone else are older , right? >.> I dont want anymore fuckin fillers =/ I wasn't expecting the Gaiden to be any longer . The chapters in the manga where i believe 3 or 4 chapters long. So thats a good thing if its 3 episodes long =] |
Yeah next up is the Kakashi gaiden about his past and then its GONE with the fillers and the new Naruto starts which is 2.5 years later.
|
So, I can finally see delicious Sasori ackshun? This had better be true, as the fillers were perhaps the biggest load of crap I'd ever laid eyes on.

Its about freakin time. I would have gone nuts if they kept the fillers going even longer. I remember back around epiosde 150 where they thought the fillers would end. Counted down for 25 weeks only to get dissapointed by another marathon run of fillers. |
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those titles are fakes. The fillers will continue on.

YES!BELIEVE IT!
God I love the anime u.u </sarcasm> |
That really sucks... I was hoping that they'll finish up the fillers with the current arc, since they're throwing all the available characters out there, making it seem like they'll finish off the fillers with a bang.
|
I'm getting pretty close to just giving up on Naruto and focusing on Bleach. This is getting out of hand.
|
But aint Bleach on the same road as Naruto? I mean at least Naruto didn't go overboard between the first and 2nd arc .. and the Bount Arc is just boring.
I think this thread should Officially be about the Manga. |
Oh, I meant that I'd go back to the Bleach manga. I'd been barely keeping up and just focusing on Naruto for the last couple of months, but barely anything of interest has happened.
Spoiler:
But that was a bit too short and left me wanting more. I agree chato, Bleach isn't really going anywhere new either. We're about to enter another Rescue ____ Arc in the manga and the anime's still in filler hell (why, I have no idea). I just find the characters a whole lot more interesting than the almost exclusive group of characters Kishimoto seems to be choking us with lately. I almost feel like going back and re-reading Death Note. I tried getting into Negima but I can only handle so much fan-service in a single chapter. This is coming from a guy who read Tenjou Tenge religiously. |
Yeah. At least DBZ didn't fall into a huge filler othan the Garlic Jr. Saga and stupid episodes before the Cell Tournament.
You can continue reading death note. This list of Animes coming out this fall are going to kick ass. We have D.Grayman,Gintama (fuckin fansubbers aren't doing shit =/ ), One Piece (Anime and Manga are tight together) Hitman Reborn, Busuo Renkin and Death Note. Can't go wrong with that. If kishimoto has a site..I'd like to email a "wtf" letter . Ah yes... Also there is something you should look at . It looks like they are breaking our balls here -.- 199. Out of focus, The seen target 的外れ 見えてきた標的 Matohazure, Mietekita hyōteki 2006-09-13 200.

Multiple Traps, Countdown to Collapse 多重トラップ 崩壊のカウントダウン Tajuu TORAPPU, Houkai no KAUNTODAUN Yo..How bout a wtf to ANN? |
Chapter 319 is PURE filler. They can't screw up the next chapter, because it would be wrong to leave out Akatsuki members for two chapters in a row.
|
WTF indeed. I'm sure Uchiha Obito is part of the Kakashi gaiden story... although that doesn't mean that's what it will be about.
|
Well if you look at the next episode after obito, Multiple Traps and Collapse would only mean:
Spoiler:
That's just me ^^;. I really like to Think its real |
The trap stuff has to do with the latest filler episode. Let's just bear with it for a little longer. =[
|
Yeah, what was up with chapter 319? It was one continuous TRAINING chapter. Nothing more.
What the hell? Did Kishimoto really think we wanted to see Naruto split a waterfall? |
*was that sarcasm? =[*
Spoiler:
|
Those titles about Kakashi Gaiden were, fakes, a bunch of losers that read titles for Naruto every day gave several reasons why, like the way they were written in Japanese for example was wrong. I wish they were true too but it just doesn't look like it is in any way.

Naruto started good, but the fillers ruined the flow. I don't read the Manga, so I don't know what's going on in that medium, but I'm sure it's good. I just hate the fillers and quit watching the show altogether after that "life-saving curry" episode.
Spoiler:
I have to admit though, the second Naruto movie was pretty funny at times. |
Quote:
|
Think of it this way with One Piece...Oda could make it completely a bore fest if all we watch for an entire chapter is Zoro training (he seems to be the only one really training). Rather he just shows him for 2 panels with dumbells or something and goes off to Luffy being an idiot. It is great that One Piece doesn't have just one main character focus.
|
Not trying to get off topic, it seems weird to me in One Piece how Luffy just start using Gear 1 and 2 without showing his training. Just me I guess.

Hopefully with all of these fillers, they will make up for it with a very long time period with pure storyline and no to little fillers. At this rate, soon half of Naruto, or perhaps, more than half of the Naruto anime series would be pure filler episodes.

I was pretty surprised to see Sasuke at the side of Orochimaru. that got my hopes up, but only for a fleeting second. these next 5 weeks might be torture!!

Let's clear this up, you were suprised that Sasuke was with that loser? Where were you during this year =O.
Anyways, any one know if Naruto 3rd movie is out on the net? I surfed the net, obviosuly it is kept private =O |

No one knows when fillers will stop, they are still going at 199(?). Just read the manga, the first 50 or so chapters are pretty good.

So...anyone know why the torrent on Naruto 200 is called the Kakashi Gaiden Special? I'd check it out, but I'm stuck on 185 right now. Who knows, maybe it's a cruel joke. :(
Here's the link. Edit: Dammit, nevermind. It's a fake. So it was a cruel joke. :( |
Yeah, DB will release troll subs every once in a while as jokes. You can tell the difference by like sub group identifier at the beginning of the file. Real DB subs will have [DB] at the front, while the fake ones will have [YHBT] like the website.

I got this from the fake 200th "Kakashi Gaiden Special" episode that was released by Dattebayo: http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/ Don't bother downloading it though. The whole thing's crap; the screenshot is the only important thing. In addition, this announcement was also at the end of the 201st episode, which I cut out and uploaded for you guys: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3a8x1o If you don't want to download it, it says that next time is the special "thank you" show, that there will be person who hasn't been on in awhile (Kakashi) as a guest so more viewers will come back, that Naruto will start airing Thursdays at 7:30 starting October 5th and the first episode to air then is a 90 minute special, which is exactly what was said in the fake 200th episode. So, it looks like the fillers will be coming to an end pretty soon... |
I don't know why people pay attention to DB anymore. The only thing they are reliable for is subs that don't suck in less than a day. That announcement is bullshit, DB saying "they knew since April" should have been enough for anyone to catch they were lying. The new season doesn't start til 206-208 or something, they aren't gonna end fillers right before the new season. The titles for 206 is also some crap like "The one who controls 5 senses" which doesn't seem like the end of filler at all.
Just give up on waiting for announcements, especially from a troll sub group like DB. |
man i herd that naruto is longer than dragonball z .......is it true....?
i dont know if it was art work but i have seen pics of naruto all grown up and he has his own students.......well the only thing i did find out when i went to Japan is that their is a brigde called the NARUTO..........i would love to stay out there for like a year .......the women love the dredds :edgarrock: |
People still believe announcements by DB? It's hopeless, really.
|
you probably saw the fourth hokage with his student o-0
and no naruto is not longer than dragonbal z.....yet |
The way it's going right now, it'll probably last a lot longer than DBZ. It's not like DBZ is even the longest manga... it'll only be amazing if it passes something like Hajime.

Just wait for October to give us DGM,DN,BR and Hitman Reborn. |
Well, chances are high that they will start soon. I just don't want to give DB credit.

I don't know when the current season ends but I had assumed it would end right before it changed to Thursday nights (if DB is correct.) But if the season doesn't end until a little bit later, then you're right, it would make more sense to start the new season with the real story line. But then again, fillers didn't start at the begining of a season, so it's hard to say. Honestly, I don't know a lot about fansub release groups. The only fansub I've watched from DB has been Naruto and other than having strange and irrelavant comments after the intro sometimes, they don't seem all that bad to me. |
Their translation and subbing skills are subpar at best. They are popular because they are fast, that's it. I'd watch AonE's releases (those are way superior) if they weren't so damn slow.
|
Quote:
|
Episode 202 was nothing but a clip show of all the sasuke rescue arc fights. Joe, I believe DB is wrong yet again. the 90 min special is the final filler episode followed by episode 203 (Kakashi Gaiden). Or maybe the other way around.I dunno.
Yeah. Don't ever give credit to DB >=p. |

AonE dropped the show? That doesn't seem right...did they stop at 191? Because that's the last episode I got from AonE. Still waiting for more releases.
|
Nah, they didn't quit AFAIK, but AonE loves waiting for a couple of months for releases.
|
ANBU were the ones who dropped the project with AonE. Without them, the quality of the episodes weren't like the old days. But oh well. ANBU's like that..and every other serious fansub group that hears about a anime that just got licensed.

|
Yeah, the anime is at Gai vs. Kisame now. =D
|
Which episode did the Anime go back tot he storyline and where are the subbed versions currently being downloaded?
Had no idea they were actually back on track. |
That was just Kaphwan's way of saying, "read the thread to see if they're still showing fillers", which they still are.
|
Yeah. I just wanted to deceive someone. ='[
It's still in filler world, and don't bother downloading the triple episode special. |
Very fucked up of you, Kaph. >=p. The manga itself was going crap for 3 or 4 chapters. And we were blessed without A Naruto and co. and gave us more Akatsuki story. OR, we can always talk about the dubbed version of Naruto and how they're doing in those episodes. Right now, we got Naruto training with Jiraiya before he fights Neji. Those , to me, were also fillers and boring. But give it a shot.
For now, just watch the other 4 newSJ animes. Alot better than Naruto and Bleach o.o; |
I don't know about that. Busou Renkin bored the shit out of me. =[ I will watch Death Note, though.
|
Damn it...and here I was getting 192-202 from DB to get caught up on the fillers so I could get back to the main story. :( 206 is probably another damn filler despite the hiatus. Grrrrrr...
|
Will you people just give up on this already. Fillers will end when they end. I was fooled by the episode 200 thing, but just give it up. Jesus, if you want see Naruto so bad, just read the manga, or as chato said, just watch the other SJ series. When the fillers end it will be everywhere and everyone will be humping Naruto, you aren't going to miss much if you don't download the episode RIGHT when it comes out.
|
True. Everyone will go apeshit once it happens, so just do something else in the meantime. This is old news, but there was a quick shot of part 2 Naruto's torso in the latest filler ending, so it shouldn't be too far away.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...t2snapshot.jpg You guys really don't have to torture yourself with fillers if you don't want to. I just watch them because I want to know how they can fuck the characters up even more. |
oh damn u pierrot ur such a tease
|
Well I'm caught up on the anime, and now I'm torrenting the 90 minute special. That's weird though, DB was calling it 203-205 and now it's 202-204. I'm guessing that the one with the top 5 fight scenes doesn't count as an episode? Meh, oh well. Can someone tell me if that 90 minute special filler was just one thing? I mean, did that filler story end at 204?
Also...even though no one cares about the fillers, 196 has been my favorite one to date. Spoiler:
|
i told u not to download ._.
Anyway, it doesn't end there. It will go on for two more episodes, if right. And you are right about the clip filler, it doesn't count as an episode. 196 was good, though. First time Gai uses the gates in the anime (I wish they did more than bouncing around as black speedlines, really). |

I have no clue. It's funny, because Kubo has a way of providing SOME kind of pay off every chapter. It's still too early to tell whether or not the current arc is going to be Soul Society Redux, but at the very least he's keeping things interesting.
Kishimoto, on the other hand, feeds us a little bit of grain almost EVERY chapter. It gets kind of old fast. |

Fun with the Akatsuki. These are actually pretty good. A lot of effort was put into these and the voices, unlike a lot of the other half-assed drawn vids out there. The only way you'd understand this is if you read the manga. I would assume once you've finished Rescue Gaara arc and possibly a few chapters after you'll fully understand all of the situations. Despite how I don't seem very active in this thread, trust me. These are worth the watch.
Chapter 5 seems to be the most popular for obvious reasons, though doesn't mean it's the best one. I recommend you watch these in order. Remember, this is pure comedy. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 These seem to get better as the Chapter progresses. My personal favorites are Chapter 6 and 9. Do not take my opinions as facts. I am not the creator of these vids. Enjoy. |
Yeah, i know the guy who makes them..pretty funny indeed^^
|
your right it gets better in the later episodes i really enjoyed episode 8
funny stuff :edgarrock: |
Lmao, I like episode 5 the best.
I thought Vegeta's tryout was the funniest. More spikes. hahaha |

Yeah Im definately satisfied. So satisfied that i want to see some fillers XD.
Spoiler:
Looks like the children's episode is finally coming to an end...kurado >=p. |
What does that picture have to do with fillers, chato? It's an add for the new game. There was supposedly an annoucmenet regarding the time-skip, but I can't find any info.

Lollin, how many episodes of filler will it be? They better not have fillers again after this crap. |
according to narutofan.com, which is a crap naruto site, the fillers will end in february 2007. this means that its about 15 filler eps left, thats almost 100 eps of crap fillers :P
i wonder if i will watch naruto ever again |
Trust me. You will ;p. Despite the crappyness that are the fillers (this goes for bleach as well) You can't let go the fact that you want to see great fights such as Naruto vs Orochimaru or Sasori vs...Chiyoba- yeah.

When I downloaded the naruto manga chapter 332 from NarutoBuzz i got a page saying naruto Second arc will start march - may 2007 and that was officially confirmed
I think this is the REAL beggining date to the Second Arc. I would post the image.. if i had enough posts.. |
They said early Spring, Spring begins like March 20th. So I'm guessing it's probably going to start the beginning of April. I don't think they're going to start exactly once it's officially Spring so it's still like another 4 months.
|
Man, I love dattebayo. They posted a "press release" acting as if Naruto was a product line they were discontinuing so as to devote resources to the now-in-progress Pokemon Diamond and Pearl anime. Too hilarious.
Would post a link but I'm now allowed to yet.. |
Okay, I need to get some facts straightened out about Rock Lee in the anime. Apparently, I've seen Secondary Lotus, Primary Lotus, but he also mentions something about Reverse Lotus. Is there a mistranslation somewhere or am I missing something? If he did do Reverse Lotus, which episode was it in? Keep in mind, this is about the anime episodes not the manga (which I do not read).
|
Probably a minstranslation, unless it's something filler related (entirely possible).

Well I just read off narutofan.com that it was stated from some pages of the shonen jump manga that Naruto: Hurricane Chornicles will be airing on Feb.15, 2007.
So this is it folks. What every fan of the naruto anime series has been waiting for. is finally coming one step closer ro reality. I just hope they do an anime of the kakashi gaiden chapters. I speak for everyone when I say that we deserve that shit after having to deal with a zillion filler eps. As for chapter 337, meh....., my opinions are the same as what everyone else has been saying in their tags: It was done too soon and too early, hehehe. |
Feb. 15?? you sure?? That's still winter when they said early spring. They're ahead on schedule, which I'm not complaining about, I just wanna make sure it's legit before I get too hyped.

That's what I have been reading. I've read the forums there, and that's what many of the members have also been confirming from other sources. Also the game, based on the timeskip, is scheduled to be released on April 5th. It would seem pretty logical for the anime to be released two months prior to the game so a large fan base can be built (even though one already exists). |

To see the Kakashi Gaiden chapters of the manga on the anime would be awesome. I'm excited about the new anime. I've been looking forward to an older Naruto. Does anyone know what website the new anime can be viewed on?

They released a small-gay cm of the new animated arc. Hopefully we get a longer one sometime later..
http://www.sendspace.com/file/yjyxwz What concerns me is that they mention nothing about Kakashi Gaiden. |
Okay i'm really angry at Dattebayo because he stopped subbing Naruto for Pokemon, i mean i've seen all 211 episodes, and i want more! its such a great serie

Damn. You actually sat back and watched those damned fillers? You.are.A.Trooper o.o.
Another thing I noticed about Shippuden is that it's going to hit theatres. so wtf? |

It's possible they could be talking about a movie related to shippuden.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT FUCKING WAIT!!!! |
Easy. It means Feb 15.
I say hell yeah. But I'll still be disappointed at the fact that we waited so long for this. |
when did the filler episodes stop?
|
they didn't. the fillers would stop on ep 212-220, but Dattebayo quitted at 211

phew now im glad! yaaaay!

Since we're somewhat on the same issue of season 2. Only one voice actor was announced (or probably one of ANN's lousy prediction.) for Akatsuki's Deidara. Wasabi MIZUTA it is!
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...le.php?id=2147 I am not familiar with her voice BUT Bonta-kun is all i can remember. So if she's done with Deidara then this can also reveal that he is a young Akatsuki member. Maybe. |
This shit is worse than the Kenshin filler arc. At least this series will make it back on course without being scrapped.
|
I can see how they seperate a brand new series from the other. With good reason obviously.

Finally its gonna to be back on track!! |
I just watched the last filler arc up to episode 220 (I just wish this had been part of the official manga -so much potential wasted), but what I saw after the credits seems most promising. It's a 1 hour special, so I hope it won't be filler as Nazpyro says...

what's bugging me in the preview is that it seems kakashi gaiden will stick to the manga ...

Wow, 2 years of fillers, it's kinda hard to believe it was really that long ago. Can't wait till friday for DB's release. In the last filler they wrote, "3 more weeks of fillers." I wonder if the non-manga readers went crazy when they saw that. :p |

Quote:
Okay, so I'm into Naruto again. This new series completely revived my interest in the anime, as they've hooked me with some awesome animation (the opening with Sasuke was, for all it's simplicity, just as good as the Rock Lee/Gaara fight). The music is a vast improvement over the stuff from the original series, eliminating that somewhat of an embarassing feeling I had watching a series with traditional Japanese flutes and manly men going "HUNGH. SAIYA...GO" and shit like that. You know what I'm talking about. I'm definitely looking forward to the Akatsuki fights to come. Sasori's fight has been a favorite of mine in the manga, so I'm hoping it translates well. (also Chato, this is Kurado). EDIT: Here's part 3, by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_01SJZL5dE0 Gotta love those commercials. |
The RAW is out guys, it's been out since about noon Eastern for torrent.
Check here for the links. Just search "Naruto". Spoiler:
|
The commercials were funny though. Especially the Kakashi one.
Yes Im definately going to convert the sasori fight and watch it on the big screen >=]. I forgot but : Spoiler:
|
I'm a little skeptical on this new part actually. I loved the first 9 seasons, yes, all of the fillers, every single one of them. They're amusing, quirky, random 30 minute episodes that gave me a good laugh. Still watching through fillers though. I'm hoping the new series doesn't change TOO much besides the looks. A little more maturity is okay, but I want the silly parts to stay too.
Also, chato, is that the Pokemon episode that was seizure inducing? The one that was permanently banned from being aired in your avatar? Sorry, random question. |

Good to see a thread revival, here. 2 years in the making I'd say. I tried to do the filler thing, then on a random ep I heard "The Stupid Brothers," and proceeded to delete.
|
I didn't bother with the fillers ,period. Except for that Laughed Shino episode ;p. DB and SD-Project released their versions. SD looks a tad bit better than DB so get that one.SD said something about a version 2 so we'll see how that one is.
omnislash - unfortunately, it is ;p. edit : Gave this a 2nd watch. Seriously, the music makes me think about Kenshin's music. -yaiba- Toshio Masuda Yasuharu Takanashi Don't know who Yaiba is but Takanashi is a composer who worked on ShinHokuto no Ken OVA and Jigoku Shoujo. Definately a good thing. EDIT : I have two of the same screenshots from both subgroups. DB http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/5879/dbaz4.png And here of course SD-Project. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/4230/sdno5.png Winner : SD-Project. DB's have that fuzziness under Sasuke's eyebrow while SD's looks more cleaner. So lets stick with SD til AonE comes back. |
I didn't see Toshio Masuda listed in the opening credits.
I've never watched Naruto but know a fair bit of the story, so I went and watched Shippuden. That's movie quality in the first 8 minutes. I'm not sure if they can maintain that kind of animation when they actually reach that part since the rest of the episode was normal TV quality. Great direction for the opening animation, too. I approve. |

I remembered back in high school i was all like yay! Naruto fillers are ending this january..... lol.... Maybe i'll become a Narutard again.... in college..... Edit: Is it just me or is Sakura's voice lower? I remember her being more annoying |
Excelent way to start the anime really
Spoiler:
|
Everyone's voice is lower. That was pretty much understood when they did the whole "unveiling letters" segments.
|
Actually, I thought it was a horrible way to start the new season. It really ruins the flow of the story even if it's just to get everyone hyped about the new season.
Anyway, the music is very different from season 1. It actually sounds pretty good but I hope they don't get rid of some old tunes form season 1. |
Well I just finished watching the 1st and second subbed ep of shippuden.
IMO, after looking at these eps, I can honestly say this is the main reason why there are so many heated naruto debates over the internet that deal with the manga storyline vs. anime storyline. These eps kinda remind me of the home conversion of the original double dragon on the NES: Unneccessary stuff that doesn't need to be there, but it's there anyways just to make the game longer. Just stick to the original damn game! Don't get me wrong, for the most part, the eps did stick to the original storyline. But stuff such as Spoiler:
was not neccessary. THings such as this only drew out the episode and just made us have to wait even longer for the good stuff. Also, Spoiler:
is just enough to make the most diehard fan go into a rage. Since this is the case, then why the animators just didn't release kakashi gaiden this week instead is beyond me. Personally, I would've rather seen the fourth hokage kicking ass 10 mintues at a time as opposed to some of the lameness that I seen today. The best things I would say, so far, about the anime are: Spoiler:
-The opening intro -The ending intro. and Spoiler:
BUt I HAVE FAITH, DAMMIT, That the show will turn out extremely well. It's the dawn of a new era fans. ANyways, back to the manga: WHat did you guys think of the final page of chaper 342? Spoiler:
|
Supposedly you can get the episode here, but I'm not sure if it's subbed or not.
I was never into this show, as I only watched a few episodes of the Chunnin Exams a while ago on Youtube. Still, I decided to watch these two episodes to see what all the hooplah was about. I guess it's nice to celebrate any anime coming out of fillers, especially a two-year bout with them. The animation in the beginning of the episode was movie-quality, but the remaining animation in the episodes was pretty good, too. I'd say the whole thing executed pretty well all in all. The only fault I can say is that all the characters that were supposed to grow up a bit all still sound the same, but that might just be me. EDIT: It's subbed. |
They'll probably use the Kakashi Gaiden arc some time before or after Tobi is introduced. A sort of break before the next big arc as well as the introduction to Sai. The Gaiden could be used to wedge another gap between the manga and the anime, so as to prevent any more unnecessary fillers again.
Hopefully. |
I heard the fillers had ended so I thought of coming here to check it out, and it seems it's true, FINALLY!
But I still have one little question, for how many weeks have the fillers ended ? I'm going to watch the episodes I haven't watched so far, but I'd like to know how many good episodes I'll see before having to wait another week. |
I actually didn’t mind that they decided to flesh things out a bit. It might have been unnecessary, but as they managed to only cover a single manga chapter in a double episode, it probably means less chance of the episodes catching up to the manga and hence less filler episodes. Instead we get filler segments in the anime proper, which is a lot more tolerable (and goes largely unnoticed unless you’re following the manga). Come to think of it, the events of the Gaara arc are set in motions, so it’s more like 2 chapters, but out of order.
Still, it’s a good start even though some of the order of happenings seemed a little mixed up. Spoiler:
Chapter 342. Spoiler:
|
It's about time the fillers ended!!! I just saw the new episode and there's quite a lot of stuff in it that I enjoyed, like the letters bit (no clue why they were there, but who cares! They were hilarious!), the cute little animation at the ED, the cool animation scenes in the OP (for some reason, I really like the part where Naruto does that 3-2-1 bit), and the animation itself is great, especially the opening. The filler at the beginning brought back memories, and the 'I'm gonna be the seventh Hokage!' but was cool :3
I for one don't mind the fillers in the ep too. I don't want years of fillers appearing again anytime soon. P.S. Shika for the win! P.P.S. I finally caught up in the manga. Shika for the win! Again! |
I watched the new episode last night and was blown away. See, I don't keep up with manga on series' as I most thoroughly enjoy the anime versions. So this was all new to me, and I loved every second. Even if some of the stuff in there was "fillerish", it fit into the episode well anyway and was clever. How can you not love Konohamaru growing up to be just like Naruto? I thought it was a wonderful homage to have them chasing the cat around followed by Kono complaining. It had me rolling, especially when Tsunade said he was becoming more like a 2nd Naruto than a 7th Hokage.
The little "looking back" segments with Naruto and Sakura were great too, as they were wonderful to directly compare how different they are now and were just plain hilarious (reference: young Naruto excitedly asking about new techniques and young Sakura getting worried about all the training she'll have to endure with older Sakura giving her a "Gunbatte!") I'm going to talk now as someone not reading the manga so maybe us anime-watchers can have our little discussion outside of the manga-readers. :cool: Well, I dropped my fork when they showed Naruto down in his mind in front of Kyuubi and then f'ing Sasuke was there. He can SEE IT NOW?! Christ, that's wild. I was downright amazed to find out Gaara is Kazekage now. Granted, he's sort of "inheriting the throne" and they don't have just a lot of other candidates after the big battle at the chuunin exams, but I would have never imagined Gaara as 'kage material. But good on him. Sort of related to that, I was interested to hear Kankorou and Temari are jounin's now, but again, the sand village probably don't have many other really high level ninjas besides them now. Though to imagine Neji as a jounin... I guess he really IS a genius. But overall, the thing I'm most excitedly looking forward to is to see how all of the old gang has changed. Much like Naruto would say, I want to see how much better they've become and what kinds of great new techniques they've all learned. Ding-dong, the filler is dead! Which old filler? The Naruto filler! |
Quote:
Part Two has it's up and downs and, for a while, I was completely turned off by the series as a whole due to Kishimoto's poor storytelling. Recent chapters involving Shikamaru kind of redeemed the series, but it seems he's taking a back seat again. |
I was very scared of them dropping Takeuchi and getting someone else to do Naruto's voice - I'm glad it didn't happen. So I'm fully satisfied. The whole series is just amazing with the OP and the ED getting a honorable mention, beautifully done.
Looking forward to the next episode this friday. |
Did anybody else notice the subpar animation quality that kinda started happening; espiecally the part where everybody is in the office? Like i was really impressed with everything; espiecally the part where naruto and sakura try to find sasuke. But the actual episode was kinda distractingly poorly drawn... maybe it's just me being picky.
heres a screen http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...snap-57045.png |
No you aren't picky at all. Its because Japan is going cheap by hiring Korean for some parts :tpg: :gonk:
|
Yeah, that hand wave thing was really really ugly, and I had a wtf moment when I saw that. I like how the ep intro set it up with awsome art/animation, then the actual ep end up with crap like this.
|
I don't really see whats so bad about that picture. For a series that is so incredibly long and must be drawn every week, this was great animation.
Have you been watching following the series since inception? There have been much more grievous animation errors in this show. If you are disappointed to the point of distraction with the quality in this episode, the highly anticipated premiere episode might I remind you, than you will probably want to stop watching now before the series starts to progress into a more normal animation routine. |
Unless this has already been mentioned or greatly implied,
Spoiler:
|
"Crap"? Do you guys really have any idea what "normal TV quality" animation is like (especially for a series with over 200 episodes)? Or have you only been watching Kyoto Animation products?
|
Let's not forget Naruto has always had its fair share of hilarity in random frames.
http://myy.helia.fi/~a0400729/Pics/icansee.jpg |
EGAD...did you have to show that pic? It sure is hilarious though.
Unless the animation is like, super bad, I can tolerate it. I'm sure you realize that in a super long series like Naruto without reruns, you can't expect the animation studios to churn out top quality animation every week. It's near nigh impossible. |
And here I thought people loved FLCL animation. I guess they only used them for fast-paced fighting or something. The least they can do is make it widescreen and convince me that it's awesome quality. In the end, it doesn't matter. Only today's episode, Everyone has big eyes in the beginning. Nothing bothersome, with Diedara around =].
|
Pl0x? What's FLCL? I am not that strong when it comes to annimation >.<

The Key Animators. Tetsuya Nishio's name is in one of the groups. We'll be seeing more of him in Shippudan when that time comes =/. |

I don't really like wiki as much but ANN has more then they do. Organized that is >.>.
Quote:
|
Except that Tetsuya Nishio is involved in character design, not key animation.
Even if he was involved in that for any particular episode, there's also the in-between animation which you end up seeing the majority of the time, and this is mostly outsourced. One person's effort does not make the whole product. |

Quote:
I don't know, except for the opening and ending of Shippuden, I don't think the soundtrack is as good as the tunes from the original naruto series. They've should just used the old ones. It would've been better, and I don't think most people would've cared. This week's anime was better than last week's one hour special. I'm pumped up about the manga more than anything. I can't wait to see what happens next week. Spoiler:
These are only my speculations of the manga and kishi will probably do something different :). |
I don't know, I thought this week was a bit of a letdown over last week's episode. They explicitly showed that Naruto and Sakura are better than they used to be and can give Kakashi a run for his money, but it wasn't bad ASS, it was just "Kakashi actually almost gets hit with stuff and Naruto and Sakura see through some illusions." It's hard to explain, but I guess it doesn't look any more intense than, say, Naruto versus random thugs on a street.
Aaaaand, that Akatsuki guy didn't impress me at all. His paper creations are unique, but not the kind of power I would expect befitting an Akatsuki member. The best part was Gaara showing up out of nowhere to try to deal with him. I surely hope this fight is interesting. |
Hey wow, the fillers finally ended I thought I wouldn't live to see this day.
I thought the start of the new season wasn't bad. It didn't have much in the way of badass-ness, but it's good to see that it still has its sense of random hilarity. I'm very glad that Sakura is a force to be reckoned with now. Before it almost always seemed like she was more or less useless in a fight, unless extremely basic (but intelligent) skills were needed. On that note, it's really nice to see that Naruto isn't an idiot that always rushes in without thought any more. He still wears "here I am" orange, but at least he's starting to act like a ninja now. |
The series started off nicely, but goddamn can they drag shit out. It shouldn't take that long to show that Naruto and Sakura have advanced. Do we really need a thousand and one flashbacks showing how much they sucked when they were children?
Then again, the show's demographic is pretty young, so I guess I'm splitting hairs on a bald head. As for the Akatsuki, Deidara himself never really fights seriously for all two or three fights he's shown. He's interesting because his tactics are pretty thought-out, as opposed to 'my jutsu's bigger than yours,' which Naruto seems to have devolved into. His partner, Sasori, is much more impressive, but you won't be seeing much of his stuff for at least fifteen-twenty episodes. |
I hope Sasuke gets raped. Seriously, he is total fag. loool but than I would do same thing if some fag wanted my body.

We mention all this but we can't forget the action between Kakashi and Naruto vs the fake Itachi along with kisame vs Maito Gai. So I guess we'll be treated to something sweet after that. Like some funny moments with Deidara and Tobi. It's all coming back to me like when naruto faces off Orochimaru with his 4th level kyubit power. In breaking news that is the Manga: This week's Chapter Spoiler:

Found this scan on Narutofan. Camera shot for this week's chapter, and revealing Orochimaru's 'true form.'

Who won the quality wars last week between DB and SD-Project? I assumed since it was decided that SD was better that it was a good choice, but the quality on SD from last week looked worse than DB's from the first week.
I hope to hear more of that song that was played during the 2nd episode where Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are all facing off. It started at about the 41 minute mark in the DB version. It's got a really nice serious tone to it. Btw, have they said anything about a 4th Naruto OST? I know of a few songs they left out of the previous three. |

Oh hell, I just went and found it on YouTube to point it out. Episode 17, 5:34 mark: Always kind of reminded me of Terminator music at the beginning. |
This chapter was really worth it. Naruto is actually getting somewhere now. :eagletear:
PS. WTF AM I SAYING. I mean to say "This chapter is GOING TO BE worth it. Naruto is actually getting somewhere now" |

Sorry to disappoint you, but Naruto is as lame and loser as always, he just can't stop suc*ing. I watch the anime and also read the manga, and I have not seen what the hell has he learned in the past 3 years. He still does the same shit: multiple replicas and his crappy Rasengan ball. Spoiler:
So really, what is so cool about him?? |
I can kind of see your point. I really would like to see Naruto do some straight-up fighting (Taijutsu), but that never happens. He throws a few clones around, which almost always throw one punch and get defeated, then finds his opening and gets that big hit off. He basically has no taijutsu skills whatsoever. I guess that's why I've never gotten into this series.

But yeah. there's really nothing else new about naruto other than his clothes and millions of kage bushins. edit : btw, this week's episode is out. |
Twilight Twin - I had completely forgotten about that one. I know of two others I'd like to point out. These really stand out to me. :D
Naruto 43 Part 2 at the beginning of the video. Naruto 49 Part 3 at the 1:23 and ends at 4:22. There's also the slowed down piano version of Sadness and Sorrow. Hopefully we'll get these. Meanwhile, I'm anxiously awaiting a subtitled Naruto Shippuuden episode 4. :) |
Ugh. 4 episodes in and this shit is DRAGGING. (it's out at dattebayo, by the way) It really feels like they are trying to stretch the material out to its limits. I hope it picks up.

But come on, it's not coincidence that the series is named as the main character, so the main character must stand out at some point and sustain it, something that most fans (and not-so-fans) have been waiting for since long ago. Quote:
Man, I would really like to see Naruto having some real fighting skills and not just his reckless random punching. Where does that rumor come from? |

a great story but...
The story of Naruto is interesting even for those adult waht it likes the anime
but in my opinion the series has taken to much time, its getting bored. maybe if the history happen faster it would be very great. |
At first the switching back and forth between Kakashi vs. Sakura+Naruto, and Deidara vs. Gaara was sort of suspenseful in Ep. 4, but they really drew it out more than necessary. Of course it's fun to see Sakura's Tsunade-strength and Kakashi's supersonic hand seals, but watching Deidara dodge sand in 5 minute bursts throughout the episodes leaves something to be desired.
|
Sorry if this has been asked already but I haven't watched any of the new Naruto stuff yet nor have I read this entire thread. But has Naruto learned any other techniques?
I mean how can he hope to be Hokage if he can only do 3 or 4 techniques. Is his rasengan that strong that he no longer needs to worry? |

So in other words no he hasn't. I shouldn't judge though, I wasted the last few years myself.

Alas, Big News. Chapters 345 Spoiler:
Now that's a good chapter. EDIT : Now that I've seen a full chapter. My guesses are : Spoiler:
March 15 chapter 346 Spoiler:
Also if anyone cares, Toonami is almost heading to episode 80. The introduction of Akatsuki! And they are also showing the REAL 4th opening. Textless but whatever. I think from there, they won't pull anything stupid like mixing clips and whatever. |
for those that liked the Shippuden Ending (Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star), the CD is out and there is already MV posted on youtube. (Not exactly latest news, but just for sharing =P)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-DDw8niDOQ |
And here I thought you had the MV for the Opening. ^^;.
SD released episode 5. After their version. Quality is still amazing and Im sticking with them from now on. I was actually content with this episode and where it's going (obviously). I only wished it were more improved and widescreen. They could've done all that and not spend time making shitty filler episodes. Next week will be a 1 hour special. Im still hyped up for the Sasori fight at least. We also have the Fake Itachi and Kisame versus Kakashi and Gai. |
SPOILER TAGS CHATO!!!!
Again with dragging the episode. I bet the hour "special" is going to be dragged also. It's really killing the battle scenes so the tv series is going down for me. The manga on the other hand, I think it is coming out well. CH346 Spoiler:
|
I really hope the new episode every two weeks doesn't start becoming a habit. Also, have they confirmed a date on the movie yet or is it still Summer 2007?

It's only fair that they show it every 2 weeks or even a month sometimes. If they are smart they would air episodes like One Piece. If they are getting too close to the manga (Which they are) , don't air it for a while. As for the movie. I have no clue. Can anyone shed some kind of light in that? |
Quote:
chato, how is that fair? And so what if it's getting too close to the manga? People like me won't even know if it's close to the manga unless I'm told by other people (spoilers are bad). That's how I even bothered to notice that Naruto was in filler hell. |
They can do a filler. But don't make fillers that take more than a year or so. Sometimes I think they changed the title is because of the garbage they gave to the fans. In the end, there are kids who don't really read the manga and just watch the anime for the fun of it. Another cash cow.
I'm just saying cause they spent more time working on that shit for two years when they could've done much more with the current episodes by making it widescreen and/or fix a few mistakes like when you catch a scene with naruto looking retarded. If you liked the fillers, godbless . But to many people who were impatient for the real deal, they just stuck with the manga until they get news that the anime version is back on track. So they do both. Nowadays, I don't even get the time to watch that many of these new episodes. I still have 4 and 5 to watch. The least I do is try to stick with the manga which I believe is getting better and a little shocking at the moment with the recent spoilers that I read from NF. As for the hour special. Let's not forget a few things, jouhou. We have the Kankuro vs Sasori fight (hopefully it's not a spoiler for you) to look forward to. The only fight I think will be dragged is Spoiler:
If not that then we'll get a shitload of Stare Downs and the "You're Weak and I'm Strong" Conversations. Chapter 347 Spoiler:

And you think waiting an extra week for episodes is bad? Try The Venture Bros; it took the better part of two years to start season 2 (with only ~13 episodes per season)! Edit: In retrospect I should've included this little nugget: Spoiler:

my boring explanation as to why.:

Hmm, I didn't know there was no new naruto this week. And they were actually going to start fighting. This is why the anime fails. Oh well, I only skim through the episodes anyway.

Its been I'd say well over a year since I watched an episode but in a haze of boredom I finished off the remaining 20 episodes or so of Naruto that I had not watched which was totally pointless, I was worried I might miss something important but alas no.
Regarding Shippuuden I am now up to speed having watched up till episode 19 its rather annoying not showing Naruto in training having fun times with Jiraya, but of course they are doig their very best to draw out each episode. Let me see 3 more episodes to beat Sasori and the clones, then another 3 of endless speeches and showing Naruto training and then 2 actual episodes of Naruto 'fighting' Diedera. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED. I'll probably give it a miss for another year and let the episodes build up again. By the way does anybody know of any direct download links for where I can obtain the Manga chapters in medium-high quality? Also front page numbers updated. |
You can head out to Mangahelpers and go to Naruto's "Latest Discussion" where they talk about spoilers and show pics. For medium- high quality places, It's either them or bludshock. Sometimes Tokyo Toshokan gets the raws early (in chinese though but quality is amazing).

Oh god huge event in chapter to come this week.

On the States' side, The whole Sannin Battle arc has finally finished. Now we move on into filler central for the next few weeks and I won't care to watch that crap though it was ok for only a one-time watch. |
Why does it take so long for them to get their asses into gear pirating us the chapter before we should be getting it.

btw, Did anyone notice the new ED vid to Naruto ? It has Taison Maeda from Rokudenashi Blues(if that's him..) getting knocked out by Naruto and takes over class lol. |
Quote:
I wish it would go back to the way the old episodes were -at least 2 chapters in an episode. The dragging of each episode is so bad. They're trying to make it suspenseful but it's not fooling anyone. It just makes the show anti-climatic and suck. |
Quote:
|
Shippuuden will be OK if someone eventually makes a kind of abridged version of it, editing together the minute instances of exciting Naruto. Unfortunately it will take about three episodes to make one abridged episode that is worth watching.
|
Yeah I was checking out the schedule for Naruto... wow... the fight scene is going to be dragged out a lot like DBz sigh.
Oh here's something funny I found...CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA (sorta but for the most part yes) Spoiler:
|
Quote:
This week's episode was pretty good at least. Still, too much talking,recaps and a useless battle Neji and the other guys are in. Definately boring. By the way, there are alot of spoilers in this week's chapter. Expect a lot jaw-droppage |
I don't know what's worse: Naruto becoming DBZ or Bleach going back to fillers on top of dragging things out. Yes, these are the only shows I watch.
On another note, the dattebayo store is absolutely hilarious. I think I'll buy the thong and the baby bib. XD |
At least it looks like Naruto is going back to a weekly schedule. The whole every two weeks deal was starting to piss me off.
|
If my ears didn't deceive me, I think naruto mentioned there being an hour special next week?
|
Wow, this weeks episode was actually pretty good. When the old guy starting talking about the Third disappearing, I was like, "oh shit..."

This week's chapter is up, and though I gave up on Naruto, the spoiler pics posted on 4chan got me interested to at least check it out. If it weren't for everything else that pisses me off about Naruto, I'd become a dedicated reader again. The plot twist at the end was somewhat unexpected, but undeniably awesome. Sad, though, that the only redeeming qualities left in Naruto are the Akatsuki and Sasuke's HAX.
Other than that, how's the animation going for the Sasori fight? I heard it's been dull-to-mediocre at best, which is a shame considering it's my favorite fight in Part 2. |
Just so everyone knows, Naruto will air every week.
Quote:
Well the episode in this week wasn't too bad. The action was getting all serious. No useless crappy dancing moves like MK Annihilation. What's annoying is watching useless filler battles (and correct me if I'm wrong since I don't remember much of the manga) with Gai and the others fighting their clones. I think we'll see more of Sasori next week since it is an hour special with lots of fighting and Sasori's past,etc. Let's just hope it doesn't drag on too much cause it only took less than 2 chapters. Next week : Hour Special : Chiyo's Hand/Mother and Father. Seriously, you should give it a watch,kurado. At least watch this weeks and now. Something tells me Tobi's showing up sometime soon around September so it wont take too long ;p. Since you're a Sasori fan here's 3 pics to spice it up.. Spoiler:
Manga As far as the manga goes, I'm still shocked about a few things. Spoiler:

The 1 hour episode was more of a Talk and chase Bird Special rather than a Summer Battle one, I don't think I can watch Naruto running after birds for much longer its been like 4 episodes now. I'm now going to drop the series for a few months, its literally torture to watch how slow progress the animators are willing to make.
