Spoiler for if you don't know what's coming:
EDIT: Sorry neshru... I was a bit foggy as to what was appropriate to this thread. It doesn't say "anime only" but it seems a lot of the anime only people are reading it. |

Holy cow! Atsushi is like a living legend among the fans who appreciate their animated movement and he is highly respected among his peers because how capable he is. Sasuke vs Orochimaru is one of the fluidest fights in the entire Naruto series. He topped that fight with Sasuke vs Naruto in episode 133 by large margin even though the episode was incomplete. I'm so looking forward to episode 167. :)

-- As for future episodes,...well at least we know Yumenosuke Tokuda will be getting a short break since Hirofumi Suzuki and Atsushi Wakabayashi are doing 166 & 167 (I swear, Tokuda is the most overworked of the Shippuden animation supervisors, and what little animation we do like in about the last dozen or so episodes is directly resulted from Yumenosuke Tokuda coming in to fix the mistakes of the supervisors already hired...sadly, he could only do so much...). |
I think it hasn't been posted yet
Spoiler for TITLE for episode 167:

Spoiler for July and beginning of August schedule:
Spoiler for discussion...:

I don't think they will waste any special animation on talking and flashbacks.
|
Spoiler for August and 1st part of September Schedule with credits...:
176 and 177 seem like a complete waste of time... |
are those 2 episodes the start of a new arc? or are they just small fillers?

As I'm looking at these episode titles posted by James, I'm wondering: are we already in filler? Episode 170-171 was a total waste of time. The upcoming episode titles indicate more of the wtf am I watching and why?
|
For some reason, I'm starting to smell a filler in these episode titles, or just something that will just side-track us from what is happening now.

The anime could have easily padded the Pain arc out. But they mostly stuck to canon. And because of that, we are likely heading to major filler. The next arc wasn't that long either... Spoiler for manga:

For instance, I can see a Re-Build Konoha arc (since the village was kind of destroyed), in which Naruto and a few others (not Hinata :p) go off to acquire materials needed to start work on rebuilding Konoha, only to encounter some rouge ninja organization (or just some douche nobles) that are terrorizing the area Konoha needs to acquire materials from (or something to that effect). Whatever the case, 4 episodes is simply not enough filler, unless we want the anime to heavily mess with the upcoming canon arcs (ala the horrendous use of filler and padding from early on in Shippuden). Additionally, this is a great place to introduce lots of filler without necessarily interfering with the story. |

The end of the next arc is the perfect spot for a long filler arc. Because there is all the space to fit a long filler arc in the current storyline, and because it would happen during the production of the next movie, so no canon arc would get ruined by bad animation like it happened to the current arc. |

Spoiler for minor manga spoilers...:
Whatever the case, I do think a little more time is needed before the start of the next canon arc... |
