Naruto Shippuuden Episode 215

[Kagari]

It's like you guys don't remember what happened after the last Naruto / Sasuke fight...

Filler will never be better than 4-5 eps of heavy flashbacks.

KEEP THE FUCK IN MIND that not everyone has been watching this show since its inception, and so many of these memories and encounters are not old news to these people.

So because some eight year old is just starting to watch the series now, they have to ruin it for long time viewers?

Second, FILLERS WOULD NOT BE BETTER. Are you fucking kidding me? You'd rather have Mizuki the Tiger, Ramen cooking, and curry of life than a string of 4-5 flashback episodes to bring everyone back up to speed on how MONU-FUCKING-MENTOUS this occasion is?

Yes.

I mean, ideally, I would prefer the show just went on hiatus from time to time as needed.

Barring that, yes, long filler arcs are preferable to stretching out the canon material because, even though fillers are terrible, I can just PRETEND the show went on hiatus and not watch them.

Stretching out the canon material ruins it, and there's no way to fix or ignore it like you can do with fillers.

Seriously. We've had a year of epic naruto with epic pacing and this one, small lull and you're all a bunch of whiney unsatisfied spoiled brats making this board annoying and useless instead of interesting and exciting.

Apparently, somebody missed the 20 episodes of filler(FLASHBACK filler no less) after the Pain arc...

Haha, cool down. We only complain because we care. When you have been looking forward to the "MONU-FUCKING-MENTOUS" event for a long time and then when it finally happens it progresses at snail's pace because of the flashbacks forcing you to wait more and more, it tends to annoy just a little bit.

Exactly. When you take what was SUPPOSED to be a monumentous event, and pad it with 2 hours of flashbacks, it's sucks every ounce of monumentousness out of the event.

It's like you guys don't remember what happened after the last Naruto / Sasuke fight...

In reality, 2 years of terrible filler happened.

In my mind, the show went off the air for two years and came back just as awesome as it ever was.

who wouldn't prefer that?
flashbacks are like watching a bad TV-rip with advertisements even though you own the Blu-ray.

the problem with naruto is that the flashbacks are way to long too...
