Lamest episode title ever.

james0246 · 2009-09-10, 02:53

Yeah, the title is pretty weak. That being said, the preview from last week's episode looked okay (it was heavy on the Jiraiya, so how could it be bad

), so here's hoping Shippuden can continue their recent trend of strong episodes...

noven · 2009-09-10, 03:06

I recently watched the Shippuden Dubs and i regret to say that they are as awful as the regular naruto Dubs. How could one series go so wrong. I like most of the voice actors in other roles, but practically none seem to fit well at all in this series.

Maybe this means that Japan has not yet fallen pray to this scourge and remain blissfully ignorant to the implications of their title. We can only hope.

Aqua Knight · 2009-09-10, 04:11

You know that there's a rumor that there will be TWL anime.
On topic
I don't expect anything great from this episode.

Its sad that that movie completely ruined the word twilight. And yes, more Jiraiyais never a bad thing. I just hope we also get to see more of Madara.

I had heard that they actually started development of a Twilight MMO, god help us if this is true.

Looks like a transitional episode, but we draw ever nearer to the epicness of future stuffs.

mageormike · 2009-09-10, 06:04

A great transitional episode with more of everyone's favorite character ^_^

Manga readers will likely need to tread real carefully on this one.

Next time looks to be another hour-long special. Fun times ahead.

Really? Didn't see the preview.
Duno, usually such flashbacks happen when we are saying goodbye to someone...

For example Orochimaru also had flashbacks before Sasuke killed him, although Orochimaru seems to come back soon.

They are doing a sort of "Jiraiya gaiden". It looks like they are mixing some filler Jiraiya backstory with stuff that is shown as flashbacks later on in the manga.

Anyway don't worry, the episodes titles confirm that we will be back to the current story after those 2 episodes.

Frenchie · 2009-09-10, 09:03

That sounds pretty damn interesting if you ask me. More Jiraiya is always good.

Sinn · 2009-09-10, 09:53

I guess a few epis of filler won't kill me, like how they did with orochimaru (i personally think Orochimaru's past is much more interesting than Jiraiya's though

) Besides whenever someone is gonna *cough* *cough* animators usually put extra filler for that particular person, i find it nice of them.

Anyway, I know the title is lame but it suits the episode anyway, can we just ignore that there is such thing as a movie/book named Twillight?

Overall boring episode but not bad either, 6/10 =/

EoT · 2009-09-10, 10:04

This episode was okay.

-Sasuke and co leave as Karin finds out Konoha is trailing them!

-Naruto had rendezvous with Itachi but the details were not explained as it was skipped to make use wonder!

-Jiraiya seems to be going to scout Hidden Village of Rain to see the Akatsuki Leader and Tsunade farewells him at the end and we find out Naruto's mother was called Kushina and she was beautiful!

Aqua Knight · 2009-09-10, 11:34

Nothing great as expected and again Sasuke's outfit is being drawn miserably. I understand ninjas don't care about clothes , but it should at least be more drawn out like Naruto's for example.

Zabu_san · 2009-09-10, 11:38

This was a good episode and then (for me) a great episode with the Itachi/Naruto confrontation and Jiraiya/Tsunade talk...

Some nice foreshadowing from both parties and it's nice to see them inching closer and closer to one of my most anticipated fights...

As for the title "discussion," LOL, you guys are silly...

Aqua Knight · 2009-09-10, 11:52
