Is there a classy way they could've animated the tail formation? As I listened to the bubbling sounds and saw red gas flowing out of his butt I thought "Maybe they should have made it look like flames," but even then it'd still be flames coming out of his ass. Maybe if it had been formed more quickly with a "WHOOSH," no.... no that doesn't help either.
lol "I blew it into another dimension." it was so bad, that i found it good.
I loved how Deidara fought with the kunai in his mouth and almost escaped, badass, it just shows how useless team gai was in this entire arc. Kinda sucks how Deidara doesn't get a fight, instead its just a pursuit, but oh well. I didn't like him at first, but he's definitely one of my fav akatsuki now!
Naruto's tearful (borderline emo) speech and gaara's death didn't quite carry the emotional impact i thought it would. Disappointing. It was almost as horrible as Kakashi's dimensional vortex. I'm not sure, but with an anime as popular as Naruto, you'd think they could afford a better animation staff! Either someone's funnelling some money into a slush fund, or the show's creator is giving a friend's animation company a break.
It's just really hard to believe that Deidara who specializes in long-range attacks held off Team Gai with Taijutsu. The funny thing is, all of Team Gai are Taijutsu focused fighters and they can't even catch Deidara.Originally Posted by DeathscytheVII
At least make it believable.... If it was in the manga as well, I forgot, i wasn't around during the discussion of that chapter.
And like I always say about the animation, watching episode 1-2 and then the rest are like two different shows.
You know things are in the shitter when the antagonist appears like the heroic one. I always knew Naruto was a douchebag but after all that preaching about heroics, fair play and such he still decides to claim the life of the crippled Deidara for the sake of sheer vengeance? Not saying I mind him finally acting like a ninja but it comes across as slightly hypocritical considering his earlier statements and merely reinforces my belief that he is a brat without a fucking clue who should learn how to shut the fuck up. Quite difficult for me personally to get behind such a protagonist. The fact that he felt the need to throw a tantrum at the dying Chiyo didn't exactly make him more appealing. How about some respect for the elderly, kid?
Deidara on the other hand fought until the very fucking end and remained utterly true to his art. Such a man. When he knew he could not escape he opted to simply blow his own ass up rather than grant them the pleasure of defeating him. You know you're a badass when you can fend off an entire team of pursuers with a mere kunai in your mouth. Of course, his final blast of sexiness was entirely nullified by yet another cheap ass trick. I felt eerily similar to how I felt during a certain moment in Gundam SEED Destiny when a certain revived character deflected a certain super attack from a certain positron cannon. Needless to say, I wasn't too enthusiastic about it.
And if they fucking dare to bring Gaara back from the dead this show is joining the aforementioned Gundam SEED Destiny in the eternal shitpile of doom. I've always loved Gaara and as such I'd hate to see him be brought back and pussified for the sake of fanservice. Let the guy rest in peace and let his legacy remain that of a badass.
/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
How come Kakashi's MS took like a whole episode to suck in Deidara's arm, but it sucked in his explosion instantly?
I'm wondering how Deidera made a clay clone with no seals. (assuming it was a clay clone). First punch hit him, and then walla, he's gone. Come to think of it now, I think Naruto or Kakashi said it was a replacement....but still, he'd have a hard time replacing himself with no hands...
He took the whole episode to AIM for Deidera and missed his vital spots because he's flying around. Deidara was standing still when he exploded, so it makes it easier.
Nai, you're giving the Kakashi magic too much credit, at least in Destiny it had been established earlier in the show that shields beat positron lasers. In this case the first time Kakashi used his dimension ripper thing it took him 10 minutes and he couldn't ended up only taking a chunk of Diedaras arm. However, after being exhausted from using it so much he was able to get the whole explosion and send it away completely in a instant. This does not make sense. If he could operate it on such a large scale he should have been able to destroy Diedara's entire body, instead of just a chunk of his arm.
It could be poorly explained that gases have less mass and makes it easier to suck into another dimension compared to ripping a solid arm off a person. But then again, exploding gas should have more momentum than a flying Deidera.
deidara's arm being sucked in was only 5 pages in the manga, so obviously the anime directors are just stretching shit out so they wont have to go to filler as soon
How come other animes don't have fillers? Are they not popular enough or something?
Like how come Naruto doesn't just finish a season or whatever, and then go on break?
Naruto yelling at the old lady was the one part of the episode I liked.
It kinda made sense, because, what he was saying was totally true.
They made Gaara into a weapon for their village, basically destroying his life, and ultimately causing his death because of it.
And for all Naruto knows, his own village did the same thing to him. I think it's understandable that he's so pissed.
No, he's a retard for yelling at an old lady. There is a certain level of respect you should afford to elders, and screaming like at them like a bitch because you are going emo isn't endearing.
I completely agree. Avatar the Last Airbender did that, and that show is as popular as ever. I actually think that having breaks makes the show even better because if you're without new episodes for so long you miss the show a lot more, and without fillers, the show can be kept at high quality.
Did anyone else want to shoot the animators of this ep in both kneecaps? Im usually one to not care about animation, and when people always complain about the animation im just like, eh it was fine.
But this episode just drew the line... The art was so incredibly bad, all the faces were extremely poorly animated, the music was awful and used at the wrong times... The fight scenes were drawn out...
As of now, Pokemon > Naruto.
Atleast charizard doesnt take half an episode shooting one burst of fire.
If you want you can justify Kakashi's BS mangekyou sharingan taking longer to hit diedara then it did to move the explosion. My guess is he had a hard time with diedara was because he was a moving target in perpetual motion. While the giant suicide explosion was a stationary object.
Yeah agree with the rest of you in that Diedara fighting off team guy with his mouth kunai was extremely badass and probably the best part of the episode. God I hope they move things along to the next shipuuden arc because the episode titles seem like they're going to try and drag this out some more.
Sigh. I don't know if you guys are feeling really disheartened, best I can say is watch episode 26 again. Gives some hope for the future.
So if an elder is doing the wrong thing, you're still going to respect them?
naruto has fillers because otherwise it would lose a lot of money. other series usually dont have fillers because they are sufficiently behind the manga or are not based on a manga.
This is what I'm saying. People earn respect. They don't just get it for being old.
Naruto doesn't know she's dying or that she was just in some big fight. He just knows Gaara's dead because of some shit she did when he was a baby.
I didn't know that was a MS technique. We never saw how he did that move.
But Naruto hadn't had that bonding moment with the elder Chiyo, like sakura has had fighting for their lives together back to back, so with naruto really just screaming and yelling at her it was just his typical only seeing his side of the issue. It wasn't that she was simply and elder of the sand village it could have been anyone, you(elder chiyo) were simply violating that with which Naruto had a bond with Gaara.
Heh and yeah i won't be mailing DB that question, it was me just yelling loudly and whining like a spoiled brat.
Storywise, if we do not seeing Temari and her troupe of people show up within 2 minutes of the next episode we can sit and here and bemoan the fact that zomg how slow are they travelling with all their stop breaks, why bother to go help when your not even going to appear. I woulda had more respect if it was one of the sand village people who completed the battle with Deidara, as if rescuing the Konoho people from a battle they didnt' realize was going to end the way it did end, I hadn't seen Matsuri battle before so not up on her powers/skills but woulda been fun to have her swoop in and perform something while the Konoha people were backed.
The blast from Deidara and being blown into another dimension(really crappy idea btw) I wish it had at like only been contained maybe 50% instead of fully removing the blast from their world fully. Such that it at least had blown everyone else off their feet and given a bunch of them like blast marks or burned/tinged clothing and facial scrapes.
At the end everyone was just standing around like waiting for next battle without any damage modeling.
Disagreeing is one thing. So is not valuing their judgement. Doing your own thing is yet another.
But you don't shout at old women. Its rude and obnoxious.
@BoC: Unless Itachi pulled those flames out of his ass, I think it is safe to say it had something to do with his eyes the way he acted right before and after he blew a hole in the wall.
