yup.. opening was sweet.. great animation and an interesting choice of song.. and i suspect they'll do a similar deal as they did with the last opening - change scenes according to the story developments...
anyone know what the song was? i doubt it will be out for a while though..
the ending was disappointing.. both in animation and music.. oh well, naruto seems to have very hit or miss endings...
I didnt mind this episode, it gets u into whats happening a little more, finally the series has a meaning again, loved the preview for the next episode when naruto says he doesnt care if AOI is a Jounin, he will kick his ass anyway, that was class, and the new opening etc is cool.
Its coming to an end aswell, bring on Itachi [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
this episode was great I Do not see anything wrong with it. wondering where aone 104 could be downloaded
Great new opening. The ending was hippy trippy and the whole flying naruto head thing reminded my of old scooby doo eps fro some reason., but i really dig the song.
I thought this episode was pretty good- much beter than the crappy jump festa shorts they did.
No one's even mentioned the mulltiple rasengan whirlpool or the fact the tsunade was giving extra attention to sakura (at least a little, but that hints at more)
You even find out what the mouthgear for those rain guys is for!
i dont think aoi is a jounin. he was only listed as iadates teacher, which could mean he's on the same level as iruka, which would make him a chunin. but you never know.
It looks like from the preview for then next ep he's going to square off against sasuke- maybe thats why sasakes been holding back- to save his strength? Who knows. The mystical lightsaber was a dead give away once they showed the hilt of the sword- too much tenchi if you ask me.
I just wanna see sasuke kick some ass next ep- so far naruto and even sakura has done more than him, and it just doesnt feel right.

Oh my God... you are right!! It's just like old Scooby-Doo episodes!!
You know what Naruto's head made me think of? That old Batman show, with Adam West and the old Batman cartoons, when they showed Batman's head whenever the scene changed.
Honestly, I haven't scrolled through more than a third of this, and it seems most people are hating this arc. My thoughts:
1) Of recent, I have only seen one episode of "filler". That one episode where Naruto's team tried to see under Kakashi's mask... A-H's subs pegged that one when the bird kept saying "ever".
2) When I started watching this show over a year and a half ago, this is exactly what I wanted and expected from the show. I won't complain about what I received in return (Gaara vs. Rock Lee anyone?), but I expected a series of short missions of varying content, with a good dash of character development on the part of those the team would be assigned to protect. If they decide to do more of things like this and add in a dash of 30 episodes of manga-true story, great. But I enjoy the nibble-size stories over the buffet of angst that this show gave me through several heavy, non-mission arcs. I don't believe you can claim to love the character of this show yet hate this arc because it isn't what you wanted to see based from the manga. This show still decimates on character development + showing the individual talents develop in the characters. This episode, for instance, showing Naruto performing his Rasengan with multiple shadow replications; that was something I wanted to see him develop, and it was awesome to see he can use his attacks without it being an all out assault. He used an attack to moreso elevate him and his teammates over doing it to cause someone physical damage. That was a nice touch.
3) If you don't like this arc, then don't watch it. I cut myself off on the manga back when it hit the point where Tsunade was being sought out for Hokage. I still d/l the mangas, and sadly enough I even buy the American releases of the mangas. I honestly don't care about the difference in the manga/anime, I enjoy both as a stand alone product. This is true of many, if not all, shows that are run from mangas. There are parts the animators feel is necessary, and there are parts they don't feel the time is right to explore, if it is at all. You aren't making the show, and you are entitled to your opinion; I simply don't feel that it is valid to bitch over differences. American cinema is true of this too; movies based off already established written works can not always be %100 translated. Some films (i.e. Fight Club) have to make detours from the work simply because an idea presented in the novel does not translate well to the screen. If you were to ever work on adapting a script to screen, you would learn this in an introductory class. But for those of you bitching, I sincerely doubt there is anyone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to download the episodes. If all you can do is bitch, save yourself the frustration and take a Naruto break. Don't worry, we will tell you when it is over.
4) I care jack shit about openings/closings on Naruto, with exception to the Chibi ending they had several episodes ago. I enjoyed that one at random. Otherwise, it's a 7mb waste to me. I'm re-editing the d/ls I have in order to clump episodes together without opening/endings/episode previews. Being more excited about a new opening/closing to a show moreso than the show itself is a little weird to me, although there are other shows I liked the change up on. FMA, for instance, had solid opening/closings. Naruto simply doesn't do it for me.
Edit: forgot to say this, but the opening was pretty cool. I'll still skip it from now on, simply because it's 2 minutes longer than I care to wait for the episode, but I will watch it at random, as I do with the Chibi ending.
About all this naruto>jounin thing, he hasn't even fought him yet. When/if naruto does beat that jounin, then everybody can start bitching. But just wait and see.
so has the anime resume back to the manga now? or is it stiller the fillers?
Just watched this episode and it's a pretty good one, although the new opening was probably the best part, lol. It seems like there's this big argument about Naruto being greater/worse than a Jounin. I'll just say this: chances of a Genin winning against a Jounin are very SLIM, no matter who the fighters are. Just remember that it's a 1v1 fight I'm talking about. If Naruto's team all fought together against that Aoi person (btw, I freaking hate him. Looks stupid and acts so damn cocky), then the odds improve for the team, although I dunno how much of a factor.
Heh, I was quite surprised when Naruto did his kage bunshin/rasengan trick, but then again, he is the number 1 ninja at surprising people, lol. I just loved Sasuke's look when he saw Naruto make the hugeass tornado and running on the water (THERE!! If Sasuke was able to walk on water, why didn't he do so right there? I remember someone said that Sasuke was capable of walking on water, but I forget who). And YES, we finally find out what does masks the Rain Genins are for (kinda logical since they live in a water environment).
Well hes probably more of a teacher like Kakashi is.. the only one training genins are Jounins right?
The opening was awesome, the animation and the lyrics of the song are perfect for future episodes.
I was hoping this small arc would have finished by now, but it seems that we'll have 2 or 3 more episodes to go.
yah the best part of epi 104 is the new opening. omg i can't wait for the next arc. look at the animation!!!!! *stares*
naruto whirlpool thing was actually pretty cool. sasuke and sakura has no appreciation for naruto.
I tried my best...
What's this new OP animation??
EDIT: Woops sorry now i know what it is[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
Does anyone know the song's title to the Opening and Ending theme? I actually like both of them.
Last episode was the best just because Sakura did wonders. The recent episode was alright. The side story is alright but right now I'm hype for the new saga.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SONGS!
Well the episode was better than I thought, Aoi doesn't entirely lack coolness though he's such a typical "fufufukeke I'm evil for no reason". It was however very ridiculous that Idate's story was so similar to Naruto's. Was that the best they could do? And whatever happened to Ibiki to make Idate think he was dead?
Anyway, not up to par with the real story of course but it's more than I expected... if not else for the action and the fact that they are actually establishing rain village's population. They make it look like some kind of traitor village of doom inhabited by freaks... funny fun!
it was ok
I think the producers were on weed when the made the ending...
I thought this episode was alright. I can't wait until the next arc starts becuase that's when everything is going to get really intense!
that was a crazy episode. ^^
