Fact: Naruto is NOT a chuunin. Infact, NOBODY is yet. it doesn't matter what you think, or how many hints they've given, until somebody in the anime actually *SAY's* that so and so are chuunins, we consider them to be genins

Fact: Sakura DID NOT train under Tsunade. It was was just a sarcastic note put in by AH. Learn to read!

Fact: This "Filler" saga is an official part of the anime. anything that happens automatically becomes officia. Just because its not in the manga doesn't mean its not real.

Fact: "Anime only" fans dont care (for the most part) about the filler arc, nor are we desperate about the anime getting "back to the manga story line". We dont know the manga storyline anyway, so we dont give a fuck. its all new stuff to us. if you dont like the ep, thats fine, but stop complaining that u want to get back to the manga storyline. we have the Open Discussion forum for that.

Now, as for this ep, i thought it was good. i liked how they'v introduced some twists like the relation to ibiki, and how the "lucky" ninjas have returned. but i agree that idate is fucked up. hes a little panzy. and is he supposed to be from konoha? his character is a mix of haku and that little runt from the zabuza arc which is kind of lame, cuz both things have been done already.



Amen to that.


What's with people saying this is the worst episode ever? Man, you guys have a terrible memory. I can think of half a dozen different episodes that were worse than this.

In any case, I liked it. So what if it's a filler ep? It's still fun to see Naruto and his team fighting side by side again. We've seen so many eps where their group is completely outclassed by a superior enemy (at least in appearance) that it's nice to see them fighting with relatively comparable enemies.

And Naruto actually useful at the start of the fight? That's unheard of. He usually gets his ass kicked around for a while before he does something cool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Maybe he's maturing [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
