The Tea Country

[NomoZ]

when i saw the next episode preview for episode 101, i almost cried.

A couple months ago i was reading one of my friend's issues of Newtype Magazine and i came across an article about naruto. It was a QandA with the director i think. One thing discussed was what's going to happen next in the series. The director said that they will be taking a break from the main storyline to space out the anime from the manga, and that they'd introduce a new major character for this part of the story. So when i saw this new character, i knew this was the begining of the side story.

I'm not sure about this tho, i'm going to try and get that issue of the magazine from my friend so i can confirm my fears. When i do i will try to post the article here.

Well, I deviation from the main story line might not be too bad, if it is from Kishimoto. They need to do it eventually, but I definitely hope the quality is better than episode 101. There is potential for this to be good if they do it well.

the tea country...now everyone can learn how to have a tea ceremony!

yah, i hope it's good or else my appreciation of naruto will be zero.

I doubt Kishimoto will have something to do with the side story, I know he did have something to do with the movie, but most of the time side stories in animes are made by people other than the author that have no talent.
As a result 2 things happen:
#1 they make the anime more confusing and even go as far as destroying the original character develpment that the author had.
#2 They become way predictable, thus people lose interest on the anime (Saint Seiya comes to mind)
Unfortunatelly there's no way to stop what's coming for Naruto, is either that or stop the anime for a while, and because Naruto is making some good $$ there's no way that would happen.
I'm just hoping they don't make the new saga like that "battle at something waterfall" special.

This could be timely.. I need a good start to this year at uni anyway...

Maybe it's not bad at all. It's possible we get to see something like the Zabuza storyline. In any case, better one filler stoyline than many episodes like 101. they ruined Kakashi and Sasuke in it.

i was thinkin also to stop watchin the anime for a while..

[Jakins]

[Konohamaru]

I don't mind a side story, just saw it too and I thought it was funny. But I can't wait to see the main action later on and getting back on track with the comics.

Lol, too true, altho I won't burn the upcoming saga, I'll just jump from the last episode until they pick up with the story line.

Hummm. the preview made me think

Naruto now fetuering Samuri action. or at lest swordmen. looks like the other filler eps of debt collecting has previewd Some of whats to come maybe. I alwas kinda wonderd if there were any none ninja hidden villages. Ninjas cant be the only Fighting Disaplen group

[HimizujinEternia]

Hmmm... Naruto's first actual Filler Arc... well, I'll give it a shot. There are gonna be filler arcs in the future, might as well see what these guys can do NOW.

Besides, Studio Pierrot is an animation studio I consider more professional than, say, Toei (makers of such filler arcs as the Apis arc in One Piece.) I'm sure they can come up with something impressive.
