I hope this doesn't end up like Inuyasha. Beause they got to a point where the anime caught up with the manga too many times so they had to end the Inu series. It was a pretty bad ending too. x.x

sakura looked pretty sexy
I agree this episode was an improvement over the last episode.
It was still pretty far off... Here's a spoiler. What you might hate about Sakura you get double of in this episode(this might not be the negative part of the episode).
girl: I'm so worthless, I always rely on others... For now on, I will not depend on anyone!
sakura motions to naruto
naruto: You can depend on me!
girl and sakura: You're wonderful Naruto!
poor pathetic girls.
poor sucker naruto.
she better look sexy. This mission is for her. They even created a clone for her!Originally posted by: mage

My theory is because they have to play it safe. They have to mellow out the charcters and make it so nothing in this filler conflicts with anything that could possibly happen later in the series.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
Other than that...you can definitely feel a filler saga by the pacing of its action. The characters never seem to have the same enthusiasm as they do in the real storyline.
Watching that made me die a little inside as well.Originally posted by: folf

Also, the character designs for this new clan are HIDEOUS.

haha yea no shit, i was thinking wat the hell is he doing, and that he'd have to kill them all and get rid of their bodies so they couldnt give anyone a description of what he looks like. i mean really is that too much to ask from this show?Originally posted by: Thy
Jiraiya is a bit too much "ero-sennin" and for a secret mission, telling who he is, that's not a good idea at all...
and then he actually tells them his name, bah, and hes meant to be legendary. he shouldve used the rasengan properly on that guy ripping a bit hole is his torso, then finished off the others with a ninjutsu
also theyre on a secret infiltration mission, so they walk on the road? thats stupid
and naruto stands outside the building and him and sakura make heaps of noise even though they know they are being hunted down by the sound nin
God damn man they filled the entire episode with useless crap then JUST when it gets good they freakin end it. Christ theyre pissin me off. They should either cut teh crap or make the epis an hour long but then it would probably be filled with MORE crap maybe some diarehha for some flavor.
I'm a little surprised people are so negative about this one. It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't that bad. It has Jiraiya walking into a trap because he knows it can't possibly touch him and showing off some of his moves, some new sound ninjas introduced, and it establishes the story for this arc (saving the Fuuma clan representative). As far as story arcs go this isn't such a bad choice. I was a little surprised at a new love interest for Naruto, but whatever. I ended up skipping some of the race filler arc, but so far I plan to watch this one.
Meh, it wasn't terrible but again like someone already said Jiraiya shouldn't have done all that shit with the fuuma guys. I deffinitly liked this one better than the previous episode. I guess that's how the filler arc is gonna be, as it goes on it gets a little better.
I hope they don't continue feeling that everytime Jiraiya is in an episode he has to go look for women in some town. I'll watch them I suppose but I want it to be done and to see what is happening after this arc.
God I love the new generic sound ninjas. It's fantastic that because Orchimaro has a mansion filled with freaks the animators can simply crap up any character they can think off. At least the guy with the scizors was kinda cool other then that looks like we got a whole summer of crap to look forward to.
What? and here I thought that girls cousin was going to turn out to be the guy oro took for a body.
So much for that theory.
I did think jirara's hair thing was neat. Very Gaaraesk.

nice work on that double post, also he has used that move before...Originally posted by: folf

lalalalalalala rice country arc is just a rumor .... it doesn't exist. No Naruto for the next 3 weeks!
What happen to Naruto? Where's the kickass and awesome feeling like when Lee finally break through Gaara's defense, Sasuke pissing his pants from Oro then get back up, Itachi whooping kakashi's ass or even the corny but super funny moments provide by Gai? I rather they stop Naruto for a season then filling it completely with crap fillers.
y'kno, after the previous, horrible episode, this one wasn't so bad. but maybe because it's all a relative comparison [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I agree it was definitely better than the previous one so it held my attention, and yeah I got annoyed that Jiraiya did the whole introduction thing when he had mentioned that the needed secrecy.
But I actually liked the fact that they added more action to this one, although I kept thinking that Sakura was gonna say to the girl (or think about) "Hey you are just like me....." blah!
It does appear though that these 3 have very striking similarities with the Sound 4, The spideresque guy and also the earth guy. I wonder what the guy with the scissors ninja power is gonna be.
Also how dense can Naruto get? Obviously there was only one other person in the room with them, so the girl had to be the masked ninja. Come on, Sakura should not have needed to explain that to him.

the one time he used it before, he was still under the effects of the drug, and couldnt perform it correctly

Yes.... And also maybe a relative comparison of the filler arc to the "true" anime...Originally posted by: Honoko

He was very surprised and like in a "dream", Sakura just waked him up. Ok, he was a bit to much surprisedOriginally posted by: ShinobiNiNaritai
