So yeah...

Spoiler for SasuNaru:

Next week is a Team 10 episode so I'm there no matter how horrible it is. Looks interesting from the previews. But you know filler.

miroku2192 · 2011-01-13, 10:48

So how good was this episode? Are these fillers all stand alone episodes or tied in together? Worth watching at all??

Pretty good actually. High quality animation, a lot of action, and pretty fun overall. Also kind of gay at times, but whatever.

Stand alone mostly. Not all are good but there are some that I think are worth watching, specifically the pre part 1 Naruto/Iruka mini arc (176-178), 179, 180, 186, 191, 192 and today's episode.

**monir** · 2011-01-13, 13:12

What's with the ridiculously good effort at animating the ED song? I don't I think I ever remember watching an ending theme as good as this in any shounen series I've watched. I've always said it and will said it as many times as it requires that Neji would be wise to get it on with Ten Ten. She looks absolutely gorgeous in spat and I also hope Neji was paying attention.

Episode itself?... meh.. not bad, but nothing to get excited over either. I was blown away by the ending though considering this was the first time I've seen it. Props to the animator for not settling for the usual static images to gloss over the visual in the ED themes.

neshru · 2011-01-13, 13:52

You sure you didn't watch the wrong episode? Because you are definitely talking about the old ED.

kitten320 · 2011-01-13, 14:40

You sure are behind monir, that ED is long time replaced already 0_o

I sure am!

Ooops.. it's episode 191.

Opinion on Episode 194 is still pending. Opinion on that gorgeous ending stands.

Well I never though the anime would give fan service to NaruSasu but that pic is a bit much

Wargumm1i · 2011-01-13, 23:39

Hehehehehe first it was the kiss with Sasuke and now you Yaoi NarutoxSasuke fans are going to get wild over this...... Naruto and Sasuke kiss each other again in a hilarious comedy style. Looks like Masashi Kishimoto has bin reading comments about yaoi mix ups.

Spectacular_Insanity · 2011-01-14, 00:39

I made the decision 2 weeks ago not to watch the fillers... does anyone know what episode number they are going to stop so I can know when to pick up the series again? Thanks.

the last filler episode will be 196, it's been confirmed now.

milan kyuubi · 2011-01-14, 12:47

I liked this episode

Trough it's mostly because I couldn't stop laughing watching Naruto and Sasuke

Finally, this is good news indeed

Fran~ · 2011-01-14, 13:59

I laughed HARD... the style of this week's episode is really good, i think is the best style for Naruto, i would love to see this style for the next arcs.

But in the end, i felt really bad about Kakashi's neverending sadness about Rin and Obito's episode.

Everytime i see Naruto and Sasuke working together i think how awesome it will be THEIR final fight against the final boss... Kishi is a DBtard, so i'm pretty sure that we will see Naruto and Sasuke playing Goku and Vegeta.

Good episode.
PS: Next week's episode it will be great. Asuma and Kakashi's teams are always win.

Kallen4life · 2011-01-14, 18:07

this was alright, I guess I ain't going anywhere from naruto

certainly naruto, bleach, one piece each have their uniqueness and it's good

Ulquiorra · 2011-01-15, 01:22

With the filler being over soon I might as well watch the last two fillers. Next week looks like the anime's take on the Seven Samurai. It's good to dust off Asuma. Maybe Shikamaru and Sasuke have a little competition with their teams.

Kafriel · 2011-01-15, 04:44

Why is most of Naruto's stand-alone filler bandit-based? It's good to make one or two, but it's gotten old...bad guys steal something->noob team after them because the village is ALWAYS short on chuunin+ ninja, power of friendship/teamwork wins.

neshru · 2011-01-15, 06:38

I'll take bandits over the weird, lame shit that happened in the part 1 fillers.
