    Everyone else seems to think it's being misleading or something. By showing alot of a third tier character.

    I just took it to mean that gaara is either gonna be one of the main characters now, or he's the villain again this arc.

    Hell Yeah!!! It's been a fricking awesome night.

    First I got to see the premier opening of my play which had a kick ass opening, then I come home to find all kinds of Shippuuden goodies waiting for me.

    Honestly I kind of like the rap/ raggae opening for naruto. Then again I was also a fan of the gantz opening as well. But it feels so awesome to see the series kick off with a fresh start.

    Does anyone know where to find the raw on youtube? I was looking around for it and I couldn't find it. What I did encounter was this. Which is legitimately from Shippuuden.

    But it seems rather odd that they'd kick off the launch of Shipuuden with that? Seeing as it don't talk about future arcs. But the animation did get me excited especially with the new dramatic music. Really kicks some major ass. It's nice to see the studio pierrot writing monky's have been locked into their cages and the team that normally manages the cannon material have been brought out of cold storage.

    If anyone knows where to find the full raw on youtube could you post a link. Even without subtitles I'm dying to see it.

    Alot of people are starting to talk too much about the beginning in comparison to the manga...

    Nah, I didn't mean it in that sense. I just didn't think it flowed with the rest of the opening.

    I mean, you have all these fast, flowing images then you cut out for a little intimate time with Gaara, and then you're back!

    It had that awkward, sitting-alone-in-a-room-with-an-old-relative-you-haven't-seen-since-you-were-a-baby vibe.

    Hahahaha, the Opening has amazing animation and is pretty stylish, but it sounds like the American version of the One Piece opening would if it were in Japanese.

    Edit: and yeah, the chibi animation in the ED was cute.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    watched the first episode special and thought the OP and ED were the worst parts of the entire episode. dislike both the music and most of the animation, the sketch style in the OP especially. the part in the OP with Gaara holding out his hand just doesn't seem to fit at all... two thumbs down. good thing the episode was so awesome.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    To be honest, I kind of liked both the opening and ending for Shippuuden. The opening was good; I liked that the song was about everyone coming back since it pretty much fits the scenario in Naruto right now. And as Xan said, it was pretty stylish. I liked the ending as well, the animation was kind of cute with Naruto and Sasuke. I'm so happy Naruto is back on track now, I've been waiting so long to see some of the manga chapters animated.
    This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!

    I would agree with NM... though that bit in the middle of the OP with Gaara... the voice could be better.
