this episode was aweful, but to its credit, it might have been as bad as the first episode of Naruto-which was the start of a great anime. Also, I was interested in the area they went,..... I suppose its a funny episode. Dumb humor, but i guess this can be fun..
I belive this episode actually server a very important purpose, suddenly Sakura has some fire in her. She wants to train, get strong, and advance. Where before she was unmotivated, hopefully shes gonna now stop sucking.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
You noticed that Jiraiya said to 5th that it will kill him but he get them back safely. I wonder if it could be forshadow?

i dunno how any of you can give optimistic points about this ep. i tried really hard to be lenient but couldn't. everything about this episode was totally contrived and forced. even if anyone could justify sakura's angst he/she would still come away puking.
of course, they had to round out that entire ep w/ a so-called "mysterious ninja" whose head reminds me of a mutated, moldy carrot or radish. bah!
Why did Jiraiya run away from those people. Why didn't he just kill them or beat the shit out of them.
For christ-sakes he is a Sannin!! It's so stupid.
This episode sucked, just like this week's Bleach. I can't find anything positive to say about this one.
You people are too negative towards filler, I bet all of your minds were made up not to like it before you even watched it. It actually wasn't that bad of an episode and to the people asking why didn't Jiraiya attack the people, while he was running he said that the mission was a secret so they couldn't go around using ninja techniques.
I knew something was different with her this ep, the whole ep I was thinking her arms look bigger like she's been working out.Sakura's sleeves were gone. I thought that she was an imposter for the whole episode.

I'm fine with fillers. I just don't like the way they're starting this one out.
The positive of this is that we get more Orochimaru TV time, and that's never a bad thing. I hope they don't phase him out of the picture in favor of Akatsuki, like some of you think, as I think Orochi is an outstanding genius villain.

man what a lame epiosde......Sakura is such an annoying bitch... i hate her... just walking arround everywere all shitfaced and sad about Sasuke. What a fucking looser... i wish someone would rape her or she would just die...GGRRR!!!!
well, seems like the eps are going to be pretty boring these upcoming weeks, .. unless that masked ninja has some cool shit to show us
The animation in this episode is quite possibly not only the worst for a Naruto episode but the single worst I have seen in years.
The animation was bad. The crew could have done better drunk. I almost feel bad, if they actually were drunk..
Filler does not translate to shit. This episode is bad. I expect the rest of the fillers to be better. We have been introduced to some of the main people, have a sketch of an idea about a situation, and how Jirara and crew will handle themselves. Not fighting should make Sakura more useful, and increase her confidence. We will see.
Actually, he explained this. They are supposed to be spies, so no busting out ninjitsus on the townsfolk or else the Sound will hear there's ninjas about.Why did Jiraiya run away from those people. Why didn't he just kill them or beat the shit out of them.
And Ero-sennin is what they used to translate to Perverted Hermit back before they decided to keep that in its original japanese.
Death, just a bit of advice, don't look too deeply into anything said or done in filler, cause everything has to fit into the actual manga, so if you read ahead and Jiraiya is automatically dead...yeah, then maybe, but all in all filler is just pointless shit they put in as a vain attempt to appease people cause the advancement of the anime is getting too close to that of the manga.Originally posted by: Death13a

And I'm not saying all filler has to be bad either, but whoever allowed these writers to publish this shit is a moron... Also, kishimoto could have animated this better if he drew it frame by frame with a pencil in his ass to do it...Jiraiya looked really odd in a lot of frames...also, Naruto mysteriously lost his hachigane for this episode, and Sakura mysteriously lost her sleeves....odd. Just pray its not as bad as the whole Tea country race bull shit.... any shinobi that would color their hair that color, and wear a bi-colored, tight fitting unitard with and umbrella as a weapon deserves a fate far worse than death.
So death, pull up a chair and bite down on something hard while watching these, I fear they may get worse, hopefully not though.
considering that sasuke is with orochimaru....its pretty safe to say they wont phase him outOriginally posted by: The Heretic Azazel

wait, most ppl here who bashed this ep gave reasons as to why it sucked. not because they knew the ep was filler and their minds just totally shut down before they watched it. we can't help it if fillers are analogous to crap like, say, 98% of the time. or am i putting too much faith in the members of the gw community?Originally posted by: Aeon
You people are too negative towards filler, I bet all of your minds were made up not to like it before you even watched it.
anyways, to elaborate: this ep sucked because it tried too hard. all the jokes were poor rehashes of previous, successful(?) humorous moments. sakura in deep thought which leads her to trying to sneak out of the village at night (since when did she go around breaking the rules? totally out of character), naruto trying to join and then jiraiya conveniently showing up to say it's ok b/c he already got tsunade's permission??? every single aspect of this ep was just way over the top-- i would even dare to say even more over the top than what kishimoto might usually cook up (ie, all 3 sand ninjas showing up to save everyone's asses all at the same time )[img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]
Yeah, this episode was totally bland and easily forgettable. I guess because it just came out of some serious ass kicking episodes they decided to call it a holiday and made this. I was pretty annoyed at the lack of substance in this episode. But then again they might be trying to build up the momentum for the next arc slowly......reeeaalllyy slowly.
I actually dont mind the filler episodes because in each there was always something that was at least somewhat interesting and they provide a lot of the background information/explanations for the story. I can't really say that for this episode though. Although Naruto being able to break out of the rope made from Black hair was worthy to note. Especially since Shizune said that a shinobi could not break out of it.
Oh well I guess we can just look forward to the upcoming episodes, after all there is no where to go but up from here.
To negative about filler.... Lets see this episode had HORRIBLE animation to the point every character looked wrong expecially Ero-Senin with his squished head and Sakura with her shiney face in every single image. Nobody was remotely in character. The plot was horrible. The premise of a covert mission when Sakura has her ninja headband on and we have the fact that Naruto's head protector which has always been a extremely important thing to him was nowhere to be found. I'm sorry but this was simply garbage in every way. I didn't mind the race in the tea country as it offered quite a bit if not for the fact it couldn't fit in the timeline at all. This episode did nothing and was the worst piece of animation ever to carry the Naruto name I would rather watch Kiba spin for a hour straight then this junk.Originally posted by: Aeon

thank you DarthEnder and -Sharingan-Kakashi- for the translation...i was just curious about that.
As far as the episode went, it wasn't -that- bad...It just happened that it wasn't good either...the art seemed off, the humor was lacking and the only plus side was Jiraiya was in it
