The Cursed Ghost Ship - 呪われた幽霊船 ~ Norowareta Yūreisen.

That was... Pretty awful to say the least. A filler episode during the filler part of the manga? Classic.

I actually thought it was ok...I'm into herbalism, so I guess that helped...lol

meh, it was cute.

horrible, I guess it's time for fillers! :(

Yawn.

Me thinks it's time to take a break again from Naruto.

Up to episode 228 confirmed as filler so 4 more.

Okay, so Naruto is going to be isolated and protected because of the coming war...

Filler: Bleep that! Naruto is going to be part of crazy adventures with stupid bland characters no one cares about. And he will hang out with his Konoha friends, who he wasn't suppose to see again, and who just happen to bump into him on these islands.

That said, it was funny when Naruto called Ino and Choji the sucky part of Team 10 since Shikamaru wasn't there. Choji even agreed. It's like getting Team Gai without Lee, Neji, or Gai. There might have been something else funny, but I stopped watching. Too boring.

Don't be afraid, when the fillers are over and you see what happens in the real story you'll probably say that it was worth waiting for it :)

LOL! I hear you on the insipid bland characters that no one gives a flying fish about:) Demo, I thought the filler was ok; seriously, my standards are low. As long as it is not an epic flashback, I'll get through it *breathes into a paper bag*

Happy to see that Ino's boobs keep getting bigger.

Filler again!
Guy sure is seasick lol
Herb collecting mission? Naruto can be such an idiot sometimes.

I can't wait for the real story to begin :)
wow, i didn't know that it was safe to eat every plant i see... oh yeah it's not AHAH!
i wonder if he would've eaten mushrooms... you know the ones that are bright red with white circles, they're so yummy :)
*dies a few seconds later*

The Cursed Ghost Ship - 呪われた幽霊船 ~ Norowareta Yūreisen.

Animation Supervisor: Masayuki Kouda (219, 216, 206)

Battleship Island - 戦艦の島 ~ Senkan no Shima.

I just wonder if this week's filler episode thread will beat last week's forum low of 11 replies?

I've seen worse...

Here, two replies already.

Fillers fillers and fillers. Do they really need to have so many fillers after that long-ass filler arc we had a while back? I wonder when do we actually get to the Ninja War part... next year? Year after that? Never? If they're gonna make fillers at least make something fun like those separate stories from the main story where they go on a mission and such. Even the Naruto Vs. Crab fight in this episode was really lame. Really? You exploded huge badass crab with a Rasengan? In the first place, how did it even explode? I wish he had at least used the wind version of the Rasengan.. (Forgot name?)

Yup, they do. The anime is pretty close to the manga right now, and the arc that the anime just started (or is about to start) is not even over in the manga.
And anyway, they're not "so many fillers" just yet. This is just the third filler episode in a row.

Yeah, you guys are over-reacting a little here. 228 is supposed to be canon anyway. This one really wasn't that bad. Nice animation, especially with the interesting style in the beginning during Yamato's ghost story, and his faceless woodclone was both creepy and hilarious. Yamato doesn't really get as much screentime or development as he should. Naruto also displayed the makings of a decent leader and I'm glad they didn't just treat him like a kid again and forget the amount of growth he had when he trained and defeated Pain beyond just bashing his head in physically.

Next week's looks like the closest thing to a One Piece x Naruto Shippuden crossover that would happen. I've never watched One Piece myself, but I'm sure for people who are fans of both shows, it should be something to look forward to.

I really liked this week's episode. The beginning was hella funny, I could hardly stop laughing; the main plot was so-so, but it was great to see Naruto's reaction when he realized he was hanging out with ghosts the whole time. To tell you the truth, it wasn't until crab-zilla emerged that I stopped thinking the whole thing was a prank Yamato was pulling on Naruto:) LOL.

Oh boy, next week, ninja pirates! XD well, at least it will be somewhat entertaining:)
