^ok thats exxageration not 70% more like 30 but still I would rather have SOME filllers in anime eisodes as oppsed to entire filler episodes, we all know how that goes. I actually didnt hate this episode it was pretty good, they drag out the fight too much ( DBZ ? ), the background msic to me stil is the highlight and the animetion is not upto par compared to the first episode but I am not complaining

1) If they do it 100% w/out filler, they'll burn through the chapters fast, which will lead to complaining 2) When they do run out of chapters, then the bitching will commence about fillers and how they should of slowed down 3) I will compromise that some want them to do better w/ what they use for fillers in these manga story episodes. that's so shocking... |

How can it be fillers when the anime team is following the events of the manga?
The pacing in the Gaara vs Deidara fight could definitely be better but it´s definitely not as bad as some are trying to make it look. And I´ve gotta say I´ve enjoyed the things they added to the 2nd bell test, the one we got in the manga was over before it started.

And then when all was said and done and the anime was complete, you could sit down and whatch through all all of the non-filler Naruto episodes in all their glory. But that, unfortunately, will forever be an unatainable dream. The scenes aren't complete filler per se, but there's certainly been a lot added to them. Especially the bell test, which is 90% filler. In the manga it consisted of Naruto creating his clone in midair pulling him out of the way of Kakashi's shurikens and Sakura's punch finding Kakashi in the ground, and that was it. After that it fast forwarded to Naruto and Sakura at night, complimenting Kakashi and trying to find his weakness. It was over in a single chapter, which is basically half an episode at most. |

the problem is not so much the filler existing, but teh crappy and lazyness of said fillers. Before they may add some stuff that never happened, but it was cool or interesting stuff. Sasuke using wires or etc. Now the filler is seeing kakashi jump back with the same animation 6 times in one episode. flashing to a fast handseal animation 7 times. which kind of defeated teh purpose in my mind, we sit and watch kakski take 20 seconds to do an ultra fast handseal. Basically the filler team has no imagination, they suck the life out of scenes, you can make an interesting fight with the tools people are already known to have. you dont have to make a water dragon look like trash.
The gaara fight seemed drawn out and over repeated, they definately made you think of sasori as a slow guy as well, when in the manga you felt like he was pretty fast with the bombs most the time. but really that part of teh fight wasnt that entertaining, even in the manga imo, i throw sand at you you fly blah blah. I think the feeling you got in the manga was better shown in words, the manga cut most of teh showing of stuff implying they saw great many new skills and leveling up from all parties, and the fight went on for like all night or something i forget, It made it seem like although they were much improved kakashis skills were still higher. But all the filler seemed to make it clear what thier skills were, and outside the few things from the manga most those skills were barely above anything they did before. All in all it wasnt a horrible episode, and if every thing that happens is new, its got to feell 2000x times better than teh old fillers. but the point is if you read the manga, most of those scenes looked better in your head than when they executed them, and the pacing was less gay. |

Since most have already been said, here's what I hoped for:
I waited 2 years for Naruto to "start" again, since the fillers were killing me, and it wasn't really Naruto anymore. Now I got extremely excited over the end of fillers, and was looking forward to watch Naruto again (as it should be). But ep3-4 really killed everything I was hoping for. As someone said, its better than the previous fillers, but wtf, things move extremely slow. here's a warning: watch out! you might fall to sleep! Everything thanks to the "filler" which i call it, since flying around in circles wasn't in the manga. so bye-bye to all the "fast fighting scenes" since they will probably consist of hand seals and people running around in circles and/or staring at each others eyes. And I was actually thinking they would do another filler arc, with all the new attacks n' shit all the characters will be able to do after the time-skip, instead of just showing naruto doing his all might rasengan in every f*****g episde. All I want is Naruto being Naruto, and won't take back that shippuuden is 70% filler, cause that's what it is. 30% manga material since story is from the manga. They got manga scenes, with all "pictures" from the manga. 70% filler since everything in between the "pictures" is made up crap of filler to drag the anime out, giving it it's slow pace.

I don't know about that.
I don't think that the pacing of the anime was necessarily bad -- it could've been better, yeah, but it was still ok. I wonder if the Japanese audience complains about this as we all do in the forums. The way Kakashi did the hand seals WAS silly though, and when he made the water dragon he totally reminded me of Shiryu in Saint Seiya -- his technique: Rozan Shoryuu Ha! I almost thought they just borrowed the animation from that series, hahah The Gaara vs Deidara fight has been kept at a good pace -- sure, in the manga it was cooler but it was also much shorter. At least with this we see that the fight lasted a while, but I suppose that can have 2 meanings: 1) Gaara is strong to be able to stand an akatsuki member for so long, or 2) Deidara has been made much weaker for the sake of anime filling time. Either way, I'm not entirely disappointed with the series so far. I just hope that the animation team doesn't prove me wrong. |

Why would Kishimoto even care, he has no involvement with the anime. The anime holds nowhere near as high a status as the manga in Japan anyway, it's just a way to make money of kids. Again, the Japanese audience consists purely of kids half our age, so they don't complain.

It all comes down to a matter of time and money, even a top animation team is constrained by a budget and a schedule. To produce really fast fluid motion requires more frames per/sec which in turn requires more animation cels and more time to create. My guess is, the only way you can achieve this without increasing expenses is to cut corners elsewhere like in the art used for the cels. Pre-timeskip, the episodes with the best animation(Sasuke vs. Oro, Lee vs. Gaara, Oro vs. Sarutobi) all had very stylized and undetailed drawing. Generally, I think the anime team prefers to keep a good level of detail in the art for most episodes rather than having amazing animation.
I've been satisfied with the anime so far. The bell test I don't really take seriously, that was mostly just added filler and there's no point having high expectations for it. It was a good attempt to expand on the manga even if it did look sketch in certain parts. I personally thought the fight between Gaara and Deidara moved at a good pace (esp. the part where Deidara is being pursued by Gaara's sand through the town) but it did slow down once Gaara became airborne, in the manga you got a sense of rapid movement at all times, but here it seemed sometimes like Deidara was just lazily gliding, attacking Gaara at leisure. Looking forward to the next episode though. |

For a non-filler ep, I was expecting more from both the story and the episode itself. As of now, I'm feeling let down with regards to Naruto's progress.
*off topic* I would include Sakura, but because she's probably my least favorite character in the series, I could care less over the progress she's made. Something about her just irritates the hell out of me and I doubt there's anything she could do for me to change the way I think about her character just short of sacrificing herself for a worthy cause. </end> I guess it's all my fault though for expecting way to much. I was hoping the way they'd get the bells from Kakashi would be a lot more interesting. Remember the old fight between naruto/sasuke vs Zabuza? Remember how the two freed Kakashi from the water prison? I was expecting to see something like that again. A plan that would make say "wow, that was pretty clever". A plan that involved some real strategy; A plan that would out smart Kakashi at his best. Not some pathetic attempt at comic relief. Playing on his perverted habits is something that would never work on him in a real fight. That whole thing was just one major let down. Other things I didn't like are things that have already been stated over and over again. Too many flashbacks, too many interruptions, lackluster animation, and I expected the fight between Gaara and Deidara to be much better than this. Kakashi blowing fire w/ his mask on didn't bother me much. Considering all the other bs things Ninja's can do in this anime, I'm surprised it has become as much of an issue as it has. It seems just as logical/illogical as shinobi's making clones or summoning animals out of thin, or producing visible energy from their bodies, as well as the countless other jutsu's that are clearly fictional. IMO, that was the least of this episodes problems. |

Gaara's control over the sand is even more controlled than it was 2 years ago. He also displayed a level of calmness during his fight that was kind of frighting.
A shinobi uses everything at his/her disposal. I loved how Sakura and Naruto finally got to Kakashi, the age ol saying comes into play here Know thy enemy. Frankly im a little surprised that Naruto used his head I guess im just not use to him thinking ahead.
