Pathetic to the fucking max... seriously. I'm not even going to start on why.
I quite liked it, only the part at the end of the first ep was kinda lame.
But the fight against Akatsuki wasn't that bad at all...
And another hour special next week, me finks that'll be a good ep looking at the preview
Also loved the new katon, finally something different then the Grand fireball
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
Ok the fight was very good, the rest not that good but acceptable (since I wasn't expecting much)
I just hope they don't interrupt the fight too often with useless talking from other teams and characters..
I liked the episode (except the useless part of the other shinobi exploring the other areas, especially when we already saw it was not that one).
I specially liked the jokes at the end of the episodes... lol.
Or maybe I liked it because I saw both episodes at the office instead of working... hmmm
My main gripe as well. There was no sense whatsoever in having us watch them search all those empty places. I wonder why they even animated stuff like that.Originally Posted by RyougaZell
The fight wasn't bad but it warmed up pretty slowly considering we are talking about Akatsuki and people knowingly attacking Akatsuki. If I was to ambush those mofos, I'd have gone all out from the beginning. That is, a surprise attack with the most devastating attack. Anything else would be inviting a shinigami for a visit. But these fellows took it very easy indeed. After this I wouldn't actually mind a few corpses just to teach them a lesson, although Shikamaru would be a pity to lose as that would mean an end to the Shikamaru-Temari couple.
what I didn't like at all was the that "funny" part with shikamaru's team.... this one with the bandage on his face... god I wanted to vomit...even though it was not part of the actual episode
So...Naruto's new technique is....a wind rasengan?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And here I thought he was gonna learn some cool new jutsu, but he's just gonna make another rasengan. Its like every Naruto movie all over again.
You actually thought he was gonna learn a different technique. Shame on you

Lol @ epic fail. It was totally obvious that all those other ninja weren't at the right place yet they wasted all that time showing everyone dramatically milling about just as an excuse to waste time. Go Team Naruto Anime!
The episode then proceeds to end at the most cock tease time possible, and then the preview ruins the tease setup by showing anyone with half a brain exactly what's going to happen to resolve the tease.
As to the mertis of the plan, how many ninja's have we seen who wouldn't fall to a dual knives through the heart surprise. The only ninja's that strategy wouldn't work on are immortal ninjas and ninjas who could see Shikamaru's shadow coming even while distracted by Asuma.
There was no merit to the execution of the plan. What the heck were they just standing there like idiots when the dude refused to die? They should have started to chop him into cubic decimeter pieces as soon as they noticed that. But instead they took their jolly time talking shit and wondering how he could still talk shit back.
I also honestly thought, I have to admit to my eternal shame, that Naruto could already make a rasengan without a clone but was just doing that to trick his enemies so that he could take them completely by surprise by suddenly making one without a clone. But I guess the worst mistake you can make when watching Naruto indeed is to imagine the main character could have half a functional brain.
Again i stress this, if you want quality + naruto go read the manga, the anime is just plain bad. It turns a good script into absolute shit .
I'm sorry Kraco, but what. Where did you ever get such an idea from. If Naruto could use rasengan with only one had he would have done so. Trying to trick and opponent or not, the time it takes to create a clone and then together create the rasengan and then try to hit someone is just ridiculous. I still can't believe anyone actually got hit with that technique.Originally Posted by Kraco

See, now, talking about how stupid Naruto is, he's all "I can't shape and element at the same time, its like looking left and right at the same time!"
Really? Cause you have clones. You can look left and right at the same time. You already use a clone to shape your chakra for you, why don't you just use another clone to elemental the rasengan at the same time.
rasengan is the most stupid technique ever if you arn't able to do it with one hand...
it's like carrying a rock to an enemy which is 50 yards away...
useless
Jiraiya showed us how to use it in a much better way, grab the guy or dodge his attack -> summon the rasengan and counterattack.
well it doesn't really matter.... because the title "Asuma dies!" makes things actually pretty interesting and that is why I want to watch the next episode... I want to see *how* he dies.ruins the tease setup by showing anyone with half a brain exactly what's going to happen to resolve the tease.

I thought the exact same thing, but I truely hope this will not happen... I don't want to see 3 clones running towards an enemy-ninja with an atomic bomb in their hands...if this is going to happen I'll stop watching this pokemon-quality shit.
Dunno. After all this time I should have realised he really learned zilch during the years he spent wandering with Jiraya but I guess it just hadn't sunk in. I'm really bad at accepting poor script writing, thinking there must always be something good somewhere out there.Originally Posted by Abdula
Makes me wonder how you can still watch Naruto, but I guess you have built up your tolerance by now which is a good thing, because its only going to get worse.Originally Posted by Kraco
I think I can explain this too. As they mentioned their mission was to kill one of the Akatsuki and bring the other one back alive for interrogation and as Asuma said they were originally going to kill Hidan and bring Kakuzu back. Anyway since Hidan was completely immobile, with those two huge knives in him and Shikamaru's shadow binding, they were probably planning on bringing him back and they were just questioning him to find out where his partner was. If Hidan wasn't immortal or Kakuzu hadn't shown up when he did, their plan would have gone off without a hitch. Now the only thing they're going to get is a sound beating.Originally Posted by Kraco

already so far behind the manga yet they still throw in a half hour of bullshit.
i like how the random konoha ninjas at the tower thing transform into a bush and a rock right next to the place... like ANY idiot wouldn't be able to notice them, let alone Akatsuki.
by the time they got to the fight i didnt think it was played out that well... prob cause I was waiting for asuma to get hit by the sickle every time Hidan went for him.
Yeah it was off. This was all supposed to happen really really quickly, not only did they make it longer by adding in excessive dialogue and unnecessary flashbacks but they stretched everything out on top of it. That little sparing match between Asuma and Hidan was supposed go by really quickly with Asuma realizing he is completely outmatched and then getting scared and there is no way anyone would get caught with that fire jutsu if it takes that long. Yeah I know they wanted to give everything away, because that is what the anime does, but really that was just ridiculous.Originally Posted by Kagemane_no_Jutsu
-Oh and what the hell was up with Asuma using Chiriku's jutsu, that made no goddamn sense.

For me, this was the best part.... I liked it and as if Akatsuki would notice them just because they are "Akatsuki".... do you think they throw a kunai at every rock and bush when they travel through the forest?Originally Posted by Kagemane_no_Jutsu
Why would that be a problem? I can't explain it well, but isn't this what everyone is waiting for when 2 guys are fighting?....prob cause I was waiting for asuma to get hit by the sickle every time Hidan went for him.
"when will the first hit be done" "who's going to get hurt and have the disadvantage" and so on... and since Hidan seems to be immortal everyone wanted to see when Asuma gets served by Hidan... nobody cares for Hidan getting a shurrikan or another sword thrown into his chest because of that.
But for me, I wanted to see Kakuzu beating up Shikamaru's but after he nearly got him with his extremely strong fist.
but nooooo... Kakuzu is too much of an badass and is just complaining about Hidan being to slow etc.
