This Week's episode:
Sasuke's Paw Encyclopedia - サスケの肉球大全 ~ ĀDokonjō Shitei Shugyōhen I & Sasuke no Nikukyū TaizenII.

Description:

Animation Supervisor: Eiichi Tokura (175, 165, 155)
Episode Director: Yoshihiro Sugai (179, 169, 159)
Storyboard: Hiroshi Kimura (179, 175, 165)
Screenplay: Masahiro Hikokubo (189, 188, 187)

Title for Next Episode:
Naruto and the Old Soldier - ナルトと老兵 ~ Naruto to Rōhei.

A 10, for the simple fact that Sasuke was forced to wear car ears.

Other than that, not a great episode. Funny though. I lol'd when that girl came in and Naruto thought she was blushing cause of him.

Apparently in the Naruto world, every animal may be a ninja. Toads, Snakes, Cats, Slugs, Dogs, Ostridges - All of them can be ninja.

god WTF with naruto how long will fillers go on...

Till episode 192 by the looks of it form wiki which is december 23.

Yes we will not receive the Christmas miracle of a Canon Shippuden...

I just wish the fillers were an actual story arc, and not just mindless filler...

The CaToad was insanely funny :heh:

But Sasuke with cat ears was epic :D

Still... Itachi with cat ears > all

Odd....sasuke was the same size in the flashbacks before when itachi was a teenager and as tall as sasuke is currently. But itachi was like only a litter taller than chibi sasuke by a little bit :O. Random observation but still a fail on there part lol.

I actually loved this and gave a 10


QFT

That was fun...besides Nyansuke, who was once again only dancing on Itachi's palm while thinking he has surpassed him, I was surprised by the fact that Naruto came up with the infiltration strategy! Don't see that kind of genius in your everyday shippuuden :)

This was pretty good actually. Overall, a smarter episode than most fillers, and of obvious better quality. I like how they mentioned Yugito too. Does the cat lady show up anywhere else besides this episode and episode 121 when Taka/Hebi is stocking up?

fuuny ep and the best filler so far :p .. Sasuke wa kawaii desu :love: .. I like how Naruto replaced "Dattebayo" with "Nya" at the end of his sentences .. he was cute, but his transformation was an epic :heh:



I think the next ep will be great as well, I cant wait to see the Hokages.

Datteba~nyaa totally won me over.

I protest against the final vote option, this is Naruto filler so you can't compare it to Naruto filler!

Hahaha, that makes 2 of us :heh:

Since Itachi was seen briefly, I'd give this episode an above average score. Clearly this episode wasn't much thought out if they had freaking cats playing ninja.

First the ostriches, now the cats. Wonder what animal (s) will be playing ninja next.

No, this is Shippuden filler. Big difference...
