Well, the water that is here now is from Kisame, not a natural source like a lake or river. Isn't that just as impressive as the 2nd?
@DBHunter: I don't think Gai or Lee are wearing weights. Like you said, taking off weights before releasing gates is a logical progression. They're also on a difficult mission, not training.
I'll also echo a few others: the episode seemed short and Gai hitting the water clone was funny. Actually, the entire Gai vs Kisame fight feels more humourous than deadly.
The people talking about Gai's weights in this and the Episode 13 thread.. I want to know where in the anime do they menition, or show that Gai is carrying weights like lee does... would be nice to see, sence i skipped some filler episode's
Wow.. this episode sucked from my point of view, the title is "Naruto's Growth" and yet all we see from him, is that he learned how to dispel Genjutsu, just.. wow...
At least there was some action on the Gai team, is it normal that Gai skin wasn't all red after releasing six gates?
They ruined what could have been a great moment (Gai's gates) with poor animation and for me atleast, the music isn't what it used to be either. Don't know wtf happened really, Gai said there's no more time left because of Tenten, indicating he needed to save her and the others. So he releases his gates and jumps into the air after fish face? Where is the saving Tenten bit? Neji could have done whatever he did sooner, I assume he hit a weak part of the bubble with his 64 hit combo to break it, so what was the point in us seeing inside Neji's body (chakra systems), I thought he was going to release gates too or something seeing as that's exactly what they showed with Gai moments before. Other bad moments, already mentioned was Gais quick tap of the water clone with his Nunchuks but Rock Lee's Konoha Senpu kick was messed up, wtf where those lights coming out of Kisame?
This anime needs fixing TBH.
Unless they meant for the light to show 'speed' it indeed looks weird.Originally Posted by Uzumaki
Oh... and it wasn't Konoha Senpuu. According to the subs it was another variation -> Konoha Dai Senpuu.

The ring makes sense, even more so since it came from a manga reader i suppose. But if you guys want some doubt casted your way i'll oblige. When Kakashi fought Itachi the first time Itachi was able to form seals with one hand so quickly that Kakashi was barely able to notice the movement, even with his sharingan activated. So it's possible that he simply formed the seals for the genjutsu so quickly that Naruto couldnt see him do it and the whole "i can cast it with one finger" bit is simply a way to screw with Naruto's head. That was my thinking when i first watched before this whole forum drama with the ring came up anyway.
Damnit people, I come to this forum to talk and speculate about the Naruto anime. Not for some hate love relationship between manga readers and anime watchers. Can't you open another thread to discuss this? This way, there's not much discussing but more shouting and screaming.
I don't like the spoilers either, but everytime it's the same discussion.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
Oh my god the attittude people have against eachother in the episode thread's week after week.. the discussion's rly makes me feel bad
Why should the 2nd Hokage be more impressive than Kisame, anyway? The 2nd was probably the least interesting amongst all the Hokages....
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
and why do u say thaT?
i think each hokage holds a deep mystery and is interesting
Im going to say the same thing that I did in my last post about shippuuden 13. Rewatch episodes 49 and 50 when Lee releases his chackra gates. When he did that, it just made me melt in amazement at how cool it was, and there was so much emotion in it.
When I saw Gai open his gates, there was NO emotion in it at all. The animation was terrible, the story behind it is terrible, the music is terrible, and its just very poorly written and produced. I liked the old naruto a lot better, this isnt even the same series. Nothing is done the same. It's way too caught up in trying to avoid fillers that they are dropping the quality to filler itself.
I give two thumbs down to shippuuden. RIP original naruto, we shall all miss you dearly.
well i dont think there should be much emotion when Gai opens his gates, imo thats whats to be expected from a jounin who specialize in taijutsu after all..
tension from the ep it self however...was non-existent =)
I think all this is easily solvable if they stop employing this stupid tactic of showing two fights at once. As soon as emotion and tension starts to build in one fight the switch away from it to another. Maybe they are trying to produce the cliffhanger effect, but it sure isn't working.
