I LOVE NEJI'S NEW LOOK SOOO MUCH <3 <3
Holy *explitive* this one is downloading slow.
Uh oh! Tsunade sneezed and her cup cracked. I'm anticipating another post about hating Japanese clichés

This episode was pretty good... They actually had their arms moving when they were running... It's getting more interesting by the episode. Who is the white-fang?! =O... Oh and Sakura looks hot with that pony-tail. .... And the ending was pretty funny how Naruto got pwned.
*unlikely, but possible spoiler*
(tho u can clearly see who she was reffering to, but meh -.-)
I believe the 'White-Fang' of Konoha would be Kakashi, since i haven't read the manga i assume that they have mentioned it before, earlier in the series, otherwise i have no clue how i know that and apologize for that little error... ^^
Sakura putting her hair up wasn't in the manga. It does look good. I guess Naruto doesn't like big boobs.Originally Posted by Id3aLiStiC
I thought he was going to tell Sakura that Tsunade's full of BS and uses Chakra to enhance her appearance.

Oh man, it paid to be a manga reader in this episode. During the statue ritual, the animators left enough details to tell who the silhouetted figures are, but without ruining the surprise of introducing those characters at the appropriate time for non-readers. Brought a big ol' grin to my face to see... them. That whole scene was animated well to boot.
No wasted time in this episode.
Help me!! My download speed is a lot slower than normal.
See look at my speed. The screen shot is safe 42.9kb :P
Here's a tip, next time just press ALT+PRT SCR so you get just the active window and not your whole desktop.
You're a fiend by the way for limiting your upload capacity so severely.
Good stuff with the Konoha White Fang reference, I think they'll explain it next ep, but there are some details that will likely not be explained b/c of various circumstances.
Seeing the Akatsuki Dragon seal thing animated was golden, and it looked 10 times better than I might have hoped. Though they've altered the order of things a from the manga, I think this makes a lot more sense since it seems more chronologically accurate.
Also the translations of all the symbols for the different Akatsuki members was cool, since they weren't translated when I saw them in the manga.
It's so the upload doesnt effect the download. Once it's fully downloaded, then I upload at a maximum of 110kb /s. :/
Haha, yeah... this is further proof that the animators read our forums, since this was for sure a response to masa's complaints, and their way to say "suck it".Originally Posted by JaySee
I found interesting the holograms, and how they could perform jutsus through it. Makes you wonder why they don't simply fight that way.
Clearly it's Kakashi, though I'm not sure if it has been mentioned... otherwise it would have to be a case of mistaken identity.Originally Posted by Id3aLiStiC
Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that it's in the manga.Originally Posted by Munsu
Not one bit, Kishi had already foreseen this situation, all props to him.Originally Posted by JaySee
I think this was the first time, if not the second time, I have actually laughed with a Naruto episode... I don't know why but I found it hillarious when grandma went and attacked Kakashi.

why doesn't a freakin wall of china glass just break when all this bad shit is about to happen? be alot more effiecent than repeatedly breaking shit.
they did a good job w/ the tension and the 'race against time' to save Kankuro. Chiyo was pretty smokin for an old hen. Probably felt good to strut and cluck like that again. However, i just don't care about whether Kankuro lives or dies...
AKATSUKI !!!
They added that friggin huge "suck the life outta Gaara / communication structure" to the OP
Dude, forget cell phones: these fuckers have fucking holograms that let you do jutsu through them! Freakin haxorz!!11
And even though we don't yet know all their names, we certainly have a wall of identifying all the members of Akatsuki now
I'm using the translated names that came up over their respective orbs when they started freaking messing with Gaara:
ZERO
This guy comes outta nowhere this episode and is pimp boss daddy of Akatsuki. I don't think anyone can doubt that this is the main motherfucker. Since Sasori and Deidara had to let him Darth Vader Summon Jutsu (through the freakin hologram!) to get that freaky Jinchuuriki Soul-Sucker for them, it clearly shows to me that he is A#1 Duke of Akatsuki. Plus his name is Zero!
Blue - Deidara
Clay Eater. Self proclaimed artist, hn. Blonde bomber bishounen who beat Gaara. Terracosmo's new obsession. His palm tongues mean he could give 3 chicks 'gasms at the same time.
White - ???
Crimson - Uchiha Itachi
Sasuke's aniki. Source of much tween angst and emo gayness. There's been like 40 flashback episodes dedicated to this guy and his backstory, you should know who he is.
Boar (why do i question the accuracy of this translation?) Zetsu
Guy who watched Sasuke and Naruto fight. Venus fly trap lookin' motherfucker. Seems to be Akatsuki's stealth and spying, as well as counter-surveillance man. I suppose his specialty is being sneaky, logically following from the fact that he was raised by that thing from Little Shop of Horrors and can chameleon himself for hiding.
South - Kisame
Shark man. Seven Shinobi Swordsman formerly of the Mist village. His blade wants to eat you. He's got fucking gills.
North - ???
Three - ???
Orb - Sasori
Formerly of the Sand. Puppet master. Popularly rumored to be a 18th century wooden attempt at a cyborg. Good with poisons. Grandparents are in this episode.
BLANK - Orocimaru's spot still appears, but is left vacant.
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
Got our first look of Team Gai. I'd seen pics from the manga, but still cool to see their new threads. Doesn't seem like they've changed much at all.
What a crappy cliffhanger to end it on. I mean, you know nothing's going to come from it, even though it is interesting that those two know each other.
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".
I was expecting Kakashi to do the old trick used in anime with children where you grab the assailant's head with your stretched out hand, thus keeping him/her out of reach where the person would then swing his/her hands in vain unable to attack.
Interesting episode in any case. I hope they continue the story at this pace. I also wonder if we are really going to see a major battle now that team Gai also was sent on their way as reinforcements. That's quite a force with Kakashi, Gai, Neji, Lee, and Naruto, and Temari I guess (with Sakura and Tenten to support them).
