The episode of what hopefully the last nightmare we ever watch in anime history >.< Maybe I should download it for keep sake :p

Just how close are we to filler ends? im pretty much out of date with this because it has been going in for so long.

This is the last filler episode for now, you're really out of the loop I guess.

... deleted by request ...

just wondering how does the end of this ep connects to the main story....

...
 

-Because it's the last episode of the God-awful fillers and that means the anime is going back to the original storyline. It's like a dream come true.

I wouldn't say it's a dream come true. This episode was terrible...

And it seems like the anime team is just bad. There's like no feeling in the anime anymore...and because the ratings drop it seems like they were like "Fine...bring on PT2, NOW!"

The manga has a more nostalgic feeling. It ended after a failure to grab Sasuke...AND...AND...AND!!!!!!!!! There was that very long-ass pause between the end of PT1 and the start of PT2 (because Kishi took like 1 month and a half vacation and the Gaiden took like 2.5 months).

We actually felt like we wanted more Naruto and actually wondered how PT2 would come, and then it finally came!


Now with this...we actually didn't want anymore Naruto and though we wondered how PT2 would come.......the feeling of that long absence is just not there, no nostalgia...it feels like........crap..................I really think they ruined it with the fillers and ruined it especially when they didn't't do the Gaiden.

I bet there was a long pause between Dragonball and Z especially in the anime...correct me if I am wrong.

hmm.. i think there was a long pause.. i remember waititng for it when i was just 8 yrs old ... xD

It depends on your perspective. I haven't read the manga and haven't watched the fillers- except for this last arc. I just got the first couple of uncut sets in the mail and have been watching old eps. I'm chomping at the bit for some new Naruto.

I agree. The fillers have ruined what should have just been a long and mysterious gap. However, what’s done is done; there is no point in complaining about that now. I mean, shit...We have been complaining non-stop for the past like 2 years.

Let us just enjoy the Shippuden!

Well the best thing in this ep was .... preview for 1 hour special ! I am really looking forward for this, but i was somehow disapointed in how sakura looks, but i will wait 1 week to see her in ep.

The last one!! Oh finally it comes to an end! It's like seeing your youngest, brattiest, most spoiled child finally leave the house! Or having green lights driving back all the way home! It's the last one!! I'll have to see it just for closure. It's a good day in narutardland.

So was any of this ep non-filler? I had heard there were a few things from last things from before the time-skip that hadn't yet been animated.

I don't give a friggin damn about these fillers, I'm just happy it's over.

YAY GUYS, NARUTO IS BACK!!! :D

I wished they would have animated the Hinata tea scene. :(

But NaruHina fans got their long-awaited Hinata goodbye to Naruto.

Since the filler team didn't forget about Tenten, I guess leaving her out was a nod to Shino having been left out in the Bring Back Sasuke Arc. Cute little fight she had with Lee.

The Shippuden preview was great. But Sakura doesn't quite look the way I thought she would. Temari looks too skinny in the face. Still can't wait.

You know, I haven't watched Naruto since something like ep 160, and then I got excited about the end of the fillers that I sneaked a peak at ep 219... Immediately, I feel like I lost millions of brain cells and my brain deteoriated. The animators should win an anti-Nobel prize for dumbing down people's IQ.

lol I don't think I've seen a Naruto episode since like November 05. Maybe I'll check out this last filler ep just to see the original series one last time. I'm so psyched for the 1 hour special next week. Can't wait!

finally...last filler sucked but who cares.........7 days for 1 hour special!

i agree that the best part abt this ep is it's the last filler...


...the CLOSELY second-best part is ino admitting that she's TOTALLY USELESS
