[Anime-Only] Shippuden Episode 26 Discussion / Poll

[Blaine]

Good episode only took 26.

[Meloria]

As already mentioned by a majority of people here, one of the best episodes of this series thus far. Hopefully similar quality can be done for the other fights I look forward to.

10000/10 for me. Animation was the best I have seen so far for shippuden, save the 1st episode. I love how there wasn't that much super-detailed shading in the animation in this episode (except during the cinematic part when she knocked Sasori out or threw the chakra eating thing), it fits perfectly with the Naruto series IMO. The techniques that each individual puppet of Chiyo-baa sama used were awesome. I got chills during the whole 10 Puppets + Sakura vs 100 Puppets. Seeing this episode, I can only hope that they make future episodes on par or better.~

beutiful.. animation, art.. everything.. I really wish every episode could be this quality. Sakura's really improving a lot.. man, starting to make me like her more than the hot-headed Naruto.

10 / 10

Then why did you give it a 1? I mean i dont care what you rate but justify your reason. Did you just want to be different.

That's why I said I don't embarrass easily. Normally it wouldn't bother me in the least, but that was just so goofy it crossed a line not easily crossed.

Anyway, gonna sign off now before I begin casting any aspersions on the general level of intelligence in this thread. That wouldn't do at all!

O_O;;;;; Oh, wow~ after reading what people says about this episode. I decided to watch it!

Speechless! Such a big changed, lol, I'm hyped up about Naruto again. Man I really hope this keep going. Good animation, music, and pace! GO GO GO! XD

Wait wait... what about the poison thats in sakura already? shouldnt that kind of amount of poison knock her out.. unconscious..or is that anti-venum is more effective then she thought?

[Kankel]

This is truly what Naruto should be, finally!! 10/10

[Mr. sickVisionz]

I've been disapointed with the animation in Shippuden. Epesically fights. I felt like alot of stuff (Neji vs Neji, Rock Lee vs Rock Lee, Gai vs Fish Guy) should have looked alot better. None of the puppet fighting so far was interesting at all and I wasn't looking forward to this episode at all.

But damn, this was easily the best episode yet. Animation quality went back to the Naruto vs Sasuke fight. I didn't like this fight in the comic but oh my god, it was amazing when well animated. [censored]...[/censored] If this is the end result, i'll happily sit through 25 episodes that have mediocre fight animation if every 26 we get one thats just mindblowingly amazing like this.

This episode is like a week without food and then somone serves you a 7 course meal including filet mignon and artic lobster tail in a butter sauce imported from Italy.

[kirose]

omg....i feel spoiled, FINNALY a good episode in shippuden. not to mention they actually covered more manga chapters than usual (i think 2 chapters in 1 episode, as opposed to 1 page in 3 episodes)

[bmoredragon]

I must agree this was definetly a 10/10 I hope to see more episodes like this in the near future. I have to give it to sakura she was handling her business in the fight its about time we seen her do some damage.

[dijiko]

QUICK MODS! Mr. sickVisionz JUST MENTIONED A MANAG SPOILER.

[Hir0]

Pure OMG!!! This episode is Epic XD

10 for me as well, Nicely animated, Nicely done, So much clearer than the manga, this episode is perfect. If all the shippuuden episodes are like this from now on it would be so good

To time how long I'd get questioned on it. The poll is serious business.

Quoted for truth. Although, eating too much after starvation actually kills you. I'm sure that doesn't apply for anime, but I don't wanna get my hopes up for an episode of this quality any time in the near future.

I mean, the fight animation was so fluid that for about 10 seconds, my favorite Naruto character was Chiyo's blue spike headed puppet.

Any poison she received before and during the three minute after she takes the antidote is neutralized no matter how much of it is in her body.

The first half of the episode was just embarrassing, especially with Sasori drawing himself back together again. That was extremely lame. I would be embarrassed if someone saw me watching that, and I don't get embarrassed by anime easily.

Plus of course before the fast action kicked in, the necessarily sub-par colouring really showed.

When things started moving, there were some pretty good moments, with some pretty nice animation direction. But Chiyo's puppets floating in mid-air and pinging about between Sasori's utterly useless ones? The excesses of having conquered nations? Sasori having 100 puppets at his disposal and only a handful at a time doing anything? Bunshins would've been more useful...

Better, but this is how I expect OKAY episodes of Shippuden to be, not the best ones.

I don't think you understood that Chiyo/Sakura only took out about half his puppets and Chiyo's puppets all lost. Only reason Sasori's puppets were outta commission was cause Sakura used the chakra seal on him.

[Cyz]

Man, a Royal Rumble! This is one heck of a fight scene. The best I've seen so far.

[ichii]

i rly wanted to see naruto's new and advanced sexy no jutsu (on the end of the episode) lol
