wow.... awesome episode... i really liked when naruto first starts to fight, and slams sasuke into the cliff after the combo.
also, i can see what you guys mean about the art, its different, but definitely great animation.

I was going to make a joke saying that you were in the episode Terra but that would've been to mean
R.I.P Captain America.
True that on the Sasuke lvl2 appearance. Long hair and lipstick, he turned into a woman!

So is lvl 2 Sasuke gonna replace Kimi, Sakon and Neji as your fav?
Uh..Hi. I've bene kinda "lurking" on these forums for a while now, but now I've decided to join. And my first comment on this episode is (in a Cartman-ish voice):
Sweeeeeet.
I loved nearly everything about this episode--so much action and very good animation. Maybe this was supposed to be an episode to "hook" people onto the series who had heard about the movie and wanted to check it out. Or maybe not, but whatever the case this was a great ep.
But Sasuke Lvl. 2....Oh man, I'm ready for Kakashi to arrive, see Sasuke's "new look," and just fall over laughing...
He would if he had his hair down. The haircut totally destroys it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]Originally posted by: DB_Hunter

well anyway the ART is....questionable(I guess its based on how you wanted the fight to look) I'll admit that the actual fight was amazing, but I agree with alot of you that said they messed up the cool parts of this fight(the third tomoe, the tracing of Naruto's movements, and Sasuke and Naruto on the rock when Sasuke got the third comma)(oh and the Kyuubi thing) but other then that the ep was good, and we will be returning to the regular animation
R.I.P Captain America.
There's one thing that's bugging me that people need to understand:
Animation doesn't mean how well it's drawn.
It's the art. Animation is the movement of the frames. The animation is fantastic because the movement is so fluent. Why do you think people call GIF files 'animated GIFs'. Well, the obvious answer would be that they're animated! You wouldn't said that the animation of a JPEG file is horrible, now would you?
Secondly, I didn't find the art bad at all. It suited the situations perfectly. When the two of them were still and you were just staring at their faces, the art was well done and detailed. Then when they were going all super-fast, the detail level was toned down because you were viewing that cell for a fraction of a second. Then I've heard a few people complain that Sasuke looks "rediculous" when Naruto repeled his fire attack (Fire is so dependable in this anime, isn't it?) with chakra. It's the same chakra 'sweep' move he used in the very beginning to blow Sasuke off guard except a great deal stronger, thus smashing his face in the same way as if you were to stick your face in a leaf blower. Go ahead. I encourage you to try it if you don't believe me.
All-in-all, I thought this was the best fight in the series. Art quality doesn't bother me when the action is so intense.
oh my fucking goodness...
But I think that's been said already. Along with:
1. One of the best fight scenes in the series so far
2. Sasuke looked like a fairy
3. That thing about how the sharigan works being left out
4. Art does not equal animation, cuz the animation was orgasmic.
5. ZOMFG!!!!!11one Kyuubi pwns.
and so forth...
Definitely definitely one of my favorite episodes.
Oh, and episode 48 is not the same kind of animation as this episode's. It just uses a lot of CGI, but is still very fluid (also one of my fav. eps).
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Jesus Christ, you guys wern't kidding when you said the animation sucked in this episode.
Animation was good, but art was horrid... probably the worst yet.
Well, that was... interesting....
Good: Seeing sasuke fight hand-to hand, I've always liked his style. Sasuke's third sharingan mark showing up. Sasuke burning the chain of Naruto clones. Sasuke throwing up after breaking Naruto's neck. Kyuubi appearing above naruo god-style and bringing him back. And again I like how they use the setting in the fight (on the water, under it, on the walls).
Bad: The music was TERRIBLE, especially that god-aweful electric guitar solo when they were standing on the logs. It changed often and unnecessarily. Bad producers. And why random log-standing? They CAN stand on the water after all. The distorted faces earlier on in the fight were distracting and ugly. And Sasuke's transformation... I'm seldom given to internet slang, but OMGWTF!? I REALLY hope it doesn't last long...
So-so: I don't know if I like Naruto's transformation or not. Better looking than Sasuke's, no doubt, but I'm not really sold yet.
I agree. Naruto's transformation was better. Even the way it is executed is so awesome.
Now that I watch it again, the distorted faces ARE distracting, but the animation is still kick-ass. Sooooo flooid. I can't say enough good things about how good the fight scenes were, so I'll leave it at that.
Also, I really love that one song they play when Naruto transforms. They played it at the end of episode 132 as well. It's really cool - very fitting. Too bad it's not on any OST.

Wow, kyuubi=total ownage. That chakra technique is amazing, I hope he'll master it later on. It seems like that's still nowhere near kyuubi's true power, because it only gave Naruto a little bit so he can fight on.
Lvl 2 Sasuke is just...wtf? Transvestite?
i expect another episode of measly flashbacks and shit, but 15 seconds into it i'm just thinkin, "holy shit holy shit holy shit.."
gotta say that the fighting is one of the BEST i've ever seen so far. hands down. i haven't had so much fun watchin a naruto episode since sasuke and orochimaru fought.
i wonder, tho, even though the animation sucked balls, would the fighting be as good if the regular animation was used. i don't think the fight scenes would've been as fluid and smooth.
i hated this episode and i really feel that it means i have nothing to look forward to in this show any more. the new music is terrible, the drawing of both sasuke and naruto gets worse and worse, the fighting is mindless almost being like dbz, the special effects (red chakra that looked like it had real fire behind it when it was lifting naruto out of the water mainly) and 'artistic' camera angles and scenery just all seem rather stupid and annoy me for some reason.
I was so excited to finally see this fight animated.
The animation was awesome, fluid movement and action. I really like the part where Naruto flips Sasuke around in mid-air. I wish they wouldn't have had such awkward art at times though. The episode as a whole was pretty good though, but, what the hell was with the Sakon-esque trend of Sasuke's level 2? Lipstick? Disappointing, I hope I don't have to see very much of this.
I was gone for quite awhile but this crappy eps forced me to post HOW SHITTY it was! Thanks for ruining one of the nice fight, now I will forever remember how gay this fight look in anime -_-||||.
Sasuke curse seal used to look cool, now he just look gay+shitty+faggot+dumb+whateverothercrapwordyoucan thinkof.
GEEEEEEEBBBBBBBUUUUUUUSSSSSSS!!!!!!
how the hell do u think this fight was gay? it was 1 of the best fights yet!!
but sasuke really does (u guys will kill me for this) SSJ3 goku from DBZ I SWEAR!
other refrences were made to but i wont list them because Y and mut will flame me....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
oh wait, i wont be here to recieve the flames anyway so here i go!
when naruto turns kyubi he's constipated like when some1 turns SSJ in DBZ
sasuke's flame dragon attack aftermath was pretty much exactly like namek
(ok thats enough)
question: how the HELL does naruto survive with a puddle of lava in his face and all around him?
since when does lava stay there for good effects only?
LaZie made this...a long time ago.
