As much as we all dislike this slow pacing, there is always another solution. You could take time off of naruto, and instead pick up a new series and/or hobby to take your mind off of it. Then in about 5-6 months, start watching naruto again, but make sure you only download a few episodes a week so it doesnt run out too quick.This is what I am doing, for I can't bear to watch naruto like this.
zuch, didn't DB_Hunter just suggest doing that a few posts before?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I always remember how great it feels when you pick up a series for the first time that's been out for awhile.
In fact, Naruto was the first show I ever started getting off the internet. And it was in the 70s when I started watching it.
One of the best weeks ever. 70+ brand new episodes all at once.
this is the best Mizuchi post I've ever read!Originally Posted by Mizuchi
Amidst this discussion, a one theme that has been re-occurring is complaining without trying any solutions. Take a break from Naruto, it ain't gonna kill you. Skip through the slow parts, you can always scan later if you're that curious. Go read the manga. Go watch another anime series. Go get a hobby.
That being said, I'm a little disappointed in this recent episode. The repetition is what kills me. I don't mind slow-pacing, not at all. But I don't need to hear Naruto saying the same one-liner and Chiyo and Sakura taking nearly 10 minutes to say, "We're going to attack him. He's inside the puppet and has upgraded some parts. Avoid his poision. I'll use my experience, you utilize the opportunity to finish him with your brute strength. Ready, break!"
I realize they're trying to ration out the manga material, but if in doing so you lower the quality of the resulting show, is it really worth it? Although, i will admit, i still approve of this current approach over two year-o-filler, but they can do better and shouldn't be afraid to break their 'one chapter per episode' rule when it's clear that they'd be better off just shoving two chapters into one episode and making it more exciting.
...the much-maligned needle scene was accurately summed up by DarthEnder: many beautifully excellent single shots, but the sheer repitition of these shot loops detracted heavilly. I also fault Sasori for such a weak battle strategy.
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".
Don't give 'zuchi too much credit, he stole DB_Hunter's idea from a few posts before his. I'm going to try DB's idea, and hopefully get some enjoyment from Naruto anime again. Thanks, DB_Hunter!

That's what I'm doing, and it works excellently for me! Although to be honest it's just that I'm too lazy to download the new episodes when they come out every week. Yes that's right, I'm too lazy to double-click a torrent file once a week. That is correct.
I downloaded it last week and I just finally watched it today. Nice that we no longer have fillers but now I am not rushing back home to watch it like I used to.
I thought that when chiyo-baba was taking her hair clip down, she was gonna transform or something...but nooo~, she just succeeded in getting more hair in her eye.
And for the most impatient guy in the series so far, he was pretty patient & only 'complained' once, downright saint-like.
Is it just me or does Sakura's face looked effed-up here
and here
The drawings have looked a bit distorted in Shippuuden compared to the old ones.
i must agree with DB_Hunter.
the best thing for all of us Naruto Lovers to do is to take a self imposed break from naruto for 3-4 months then just watch them all in one go. i am sure the a whole episode of doing nothing will hurt alot less when you can skip right to the next episode.
although personally i really like new series, i mean, even if it is stretched out to almost nothingness at least its better then the fillers (*shudder*), and you can still feel a little of the naruto magic when you watch shippuden.
but about this episode:
the preview showed a sneak glimpse of Sasori's face, and he looked alot like Garaa imo!
i wonder what grandma Chibi did to make Sasori unable to move so that sakura could shatter the doll. but it seemed like such an anti climax after all that talk about how different the doll looked and all the new additions, then sakura could close so easily and destroy the doll. zzz
i've been seeing small flashes of naruto's improvement, that episode where he summons the large shiruken from the scroll and this episode with the attack that the clay dude (forget his name, sorry terricosmo) dodges, the attack looked quit powerfull imo. i can't wait to see how naruto has learned to use kyuubi.
Nah, the best thing you can do, is watch like, episodes 1 - (was it 84 ? can't remember where the exams ended)
With DB's history of crying wolf, does anybody think what they have posted on their site right now is true about some of their staff being arrested at otakon, and having various items seized?
