    Yeah, I ended up skipping the first 16 minutes. The rest wasn't -too- bad, for a filler.

    The animation for Shippuden looks amazing. I realllly hope that this new series doesn't inherit the cheesiness from the last. Hopefully it is able to capture the magic and general -movingness- that we all know and love from the manga and prefiller era.

    The animation for this ep was pretty good too, or at least better that I remember from other random filler eps. What I got from the story that I got didn't really grip me at all, but I don't mind because...

    SIX..... MORE..... DAYS!!!!

    Just saw it and well i think it was pretty good for a filler. I especially liked how Tenten was pissed about being left behind. That scene was pretty funny especially how Lee took his usual role of talking about how they all need to work hard and then got kicked by Tenten.

    One thing i didn't get was that everyone was acting like they were going to say good-bye to Naruto. However, they all just stopped what they were doing and apparently didn't even bother to see him off. Why would you stop what you are doing, say "its about time he sets off" (with everyone single person he knew) and then just don't say goodbye? Naruto has some sh*tty friends IMO.

    Didn't expect Ino to be another medical-nin. BTW, weren't there supposed to be 3 years between the jump?

    I know that everyone is going to improve a lot during this jump but the person whose techniques i want to see the most is probably Lee (Naruto coming in a close 2nd). Anyway, cheers to the END OF FILLERS!!!

    Nice, that was the first time I felt an emotion that wasn't toilet humour, revulsion, or misery during a Naruto ep in years. And with a one hour special they can cram more coolness into the first ep back.

    Yeah, the jump was supposed to be 3 years but I guess they're counting all that filler material as approximately one year or so.

    Man, I haven't watched Naruto ever since mid-way through the Curry of Life filler. It's been a while... I didn't care much for wrapping up the filler but it's refreshing to hear some of the great background music again. Also since I haven't been watching Naruto in so long the artwork was a real shock. They're still in their old younger designs! Naruto and the others really look more like kids when they have a rounder faces. It seems that all that will change next week though.

    Everything but the sweet looking Shukaku spear in the first half was maximum gay.

    The second half was good but I think that's because some of it wasn't filler.

    As for the skip time, the skip is three years from the end of the sasuke arc. They've been doing fillers for over a year and a half, so it makes sense that there's not still 3 years left.


    But who cares about any of that because all that matters is fillers are over! Wooo!

    I think it's pretty obvious they gathered in a bar and had a drink to celebrate the couple of years of calmness, quietness and peace they will finally experience for the first time now that Naruto will be travelling. Well, everyone except for Hinata who needed to have one last look, and Lee who will get his drink only after the rest have already left the premises.

    But I have to say the beginning part was one of the most anticlimactic fight endings ever. The dude was supposed to be the ultimate weapon of the whatever village it was, and all it took to defeat him was one thrown spear. Way to go...

    The second part was uber cheesy, but I liked it well nonetheless. It had some good lines, and the atmosphere was generally suitable to make it feel like Naruto finally leaves, the fillers end, and everything goes back to the way it's supposed to be.

    I was actually hoping there'd be a full episode of Naruto saying his goodbyes instead of having it merged with the last arc.

    Now new watchers will watch up to the Sasuke chase arc and then all of a sudden the next episode is the time-jump which leaves them confused..... They'll have to watch the last filler arc or read up on some stuff.

    I figured they'd at least have 1 episode that can be added to the story of Naruto showing him leaving to conclude the series.

    Like a "transition" episode.

    Most if not all non filler watchers are manga readers, so they will not be confused by anything.

    And, almost 2 years have passed since the last non filler episode... I doubt many remember what happened by the end of the episode to great detail.

    I'm pretty sure none of this was in the manga. The Tenten/Lee fight was well drawn and animated, but then went right back to crap afterwards. It's not a 2 year jump. The preview for the next episode says it's a 2 and a half year jump. So they're counting these fillers as half a year.

    I always found it odd that Sakura was the only med ninja, when it's already been said every team is supposed to have one. At least they figured a good reason to make Ino a med. I don't think that was explained in the manga.

    I'm guessing all the girls will become med ninjas, but Hinata's already had her "I feel useless" arc. Tenten hasn't yet though...

    I guess it was alright. Best part was the preview and the Shukaku spear. And why doesn't Sakura have her new outfit in the preview? = (

    FILLERS ARE OVER!!!

    I wish they took a few episodes to show some of the training that naruto gets, or like an OVA but like during the series of like naruto and his travels with Jiraiya. That would be sick.

    I think we have seen enough plotless episodes to last for a while. I will rather watch the main plot advance again, after these couple of terrible years. And I can't imagine the training would be that much different from the rasengan training, except that this time there wouldn't even be big boobed distractions. It'll be more interesting to see the new techniques and skills in real battles.

    Still, maybe they could make an OVA of the first maybe month, like maybe they went off on a mission and taught naruto the new technique at the same time, such as rasengan. And then made some kind of cool ending to signal the time skip.

    It's finally here! Like everyone has already stated the beginning was so so but it was necessary to get that character over and down with. The good byes were nice and the preview for next weeks episode gave me that feeling I've not felt in Naruto for so long! Wooohooo it's almost within our reach!

    i want to know from someone who read the manga: Was the actual good-bye process much similar to the one shown in this episode (i.e.NONE AT ALL)? I'm still kinda pissed about that. He thinks of everyone as his precious friends, saves them from almost impossible scenarios, and then they don't even have the decency to say goodbye to him when they all know that he isn't going to be back for a long time even though they aren't doing anything very important. Now that i think of it, only 1 person said goodbye to the Sand team. These young'ins have no manners these days.
