meh, it was alright. Better than all the other filler crap in this shitty arc.
Still... not great.

What's with all this talk about reruns. If you want to watch reruns, just watch the old naruto eps that are up on torrents?
But you see, the problem with that is what if the people writing this extra story arc give you "insights" that are contrary to what Kishimoto means. There's also the potential of clashing with future (manga) storyline, then what do they do, put a little disclaimer saying "oops!"?Originally posted by: TwisT
That way we stop the timeline at where the manga is and get depper insight of other chars..
The idea behind the reruns is not to bore us to death, but to give the manga a chance to get ahead of the anime, so that there is no need for "filler" episodes, whether that means stalling the manga storyline, or creating new irrelevant story arcs.Originally posted by: IamSpazzy

If you want "deeper insights", maybe reruns would be a good idea. You could contrast how (insert character name here) was near the beggening of the series as compared to where it currently is. You might also notice things you never noticed before, or get an insight into what message Kishimoto is getting across for a particular story arc.
if it was directed towards you, i would've quoted your post. but since i was talking LobsterMagnet and there wasn't a post after his, i didn't bother quoting it and decided to just post directly after it.Originally posted by: Nightstorm
And Mut@t@, if that comment was directed at me, stop being an ass. So far your contribution to this thread has been, "105 is a pretty gay episode", "you can't be this stupid" and "thanks captain obvious". Hey, you don't agree with my proposition (read: proposition - A plan suggested for acceptance; a proposal, not my imposing my will onto though measly humans) feel free to argue it with some evidence, or infrences or assertions, something aside from sarcasm and "is ... gay". And if it wasn't, my bad, but still, say something semi meaningful man.
don't try to randomly grab people's attention that wasn't directed towards you.
the best part is when ibiki started to smash aoi. and they had that crazy music playing in the back, whats it called? and also whats the music called when naruto vs aoi.,
I think the idea of this arc was good, but the way they are developing the story is horrible, wich proves my theory that everytime there is fillers for an anime producers have monkeys writing the script.
AcidMonkey: i dont know about you but i have every episode on my harddrive so i can rewatch them whenever.. And i watch every episode like 3 times when its released and i have rewatched the whole series several times.. I'm more happy with fillers then no episodes at all.. But as they did now, it did not even feel like the regular Naruto.. You can clearly notise that ths is not what Kishimoto have made.. But could not the anime producers have Kishimoto give them pointers of what he would like to have and wouldnot like to have in this filler arc so that it's not crashing with some of his future plans and can actually get out some good insight of other char's.. Or is Kishimoto anti-anime?? "I will never work together with the likes of you!" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Or is it the anime producers that dont want to work together with Kishimoto?? "We and out monkey-squad can do this just as good as Kishimoto!" ..
The Sword of Raijin is just stupid. It belongs in Gundam or Marvel cartoons, not in a ninja world. Plus, how can lightning crack?
At least we found out that Aoi is NOT a full out jonin. Maybe the rain promoted him for betraying, but he needed Ibiki to figure out what was on the scroll of forbidden techniques
maybe he passed the test in the rain village?
Does anyone else think that Sakura may indeed become a medical ninja? She was chosen by Tsunadae for the antidotes/healing pills, and she was the one to suggest they move to prevent any more injury to their bodies. I have another theory in Open discussion, but it has spoilers from the manga.
I don't really think so. Tsunade gave her the medicine because she's the girl on the team, and usually the girls are the ones carrying medicine while the guys fight.
I think her sole purpose is to help show Naruto's growth throughout the story.
isnt rain supposed to be allied with konoha anyway?

Anyways, I'm really happy with the way this new saga is tuning out. I always thought Ibiki was badass...but this just proves it 10x over!
I'm not sure I like how Sasuke just keeps busting Chidori over....and over.....and over...He's done the same move since the battle in the forest vs. gaara, and it hasn't worked once. He should go back to the badass wire tricks and flame attacks.
Naruto's mudballs were great!!! I had actually forgotten about the lost kunais untill that point. Also, they showed how ibiki got that nasty centre scar. The creators are paying close attention to detail.
EDIT: @ AssertnFailure
Hrm...I don't think Aoi is the type of guy who considers alliances of much importance. He'd fuck the genins up for the fun of it, even if he wasn't hired to do so. He's just a....bad dude.

just watched it. dumb.
i agree a flashback arc would be cool
maybe something that could tie in with rock lee somehow so that we dont forget that he needs to be healed by tsunade
i dont think reruns or taking time off of the anime is a good idea, if they did so
some anime watchers might not watch naruto for the time being
=
1) tv stations losing viewers and
2) if they took time off, viewers might forget about it and not come back to watch
this filler arc is better than nothing at least
It was alright, not the best episode ever, but not too bad. The only thing that bothered me was that they have a lightsabre (even the star-wars sound effects from it) and that it cracked.
Why are everyone bitching about how it isnt "what actually happened" every time there are fillers? Its all just made up anyway, its not like it matters that the Kitsimoto guy didnt write it. Lots of people also assume that this could clash with future manga things, but that isnt really an issue since this is the anime and if there is a clash they could just not add that to the anime (plus its possible the filler-writers asked Kitsimoto if he had any plans to include anything that would clash)
Well actually what i understand Aoi was a chunnin and Idate was a gennin.. and that the was both going to get a promotion in rain for taking the scroll and sword + skills and secrets they have learned to the rain village..
So basicly Aoi is a Konoha chunnin.. Or else it dont make any sence why he would betray Konoha if he did not gain anything out of it..
I liked this episode. I agree that chidori and rasengan probably shouldn't be over-used, but it was still a good ep.
What's with people saying that the 2nd hokage's sword sucks? Just because Aoi didn't use it to kill anybody doesn't mean that it can't.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that just like every other enemy in the series, Aoi is just toying with the little genins. If he can cut through the bridge ropes so easily, I'm sure that he can cut through people too.
He probably just wants to hurt them with the shocks a little bit.
The sword seems to be pretty cool. Why would it make it's weilder invincible if it can't kill anybody? So far, we can see that it can shock people, hold people in place while shocking, cut through ropes, and block physical and chakra attacks.
What's not to like? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
