This Week's episode:

Description:

Episode 154:

The interrogation and autopsy on the captured Rain Ninja and Pain's dead body begins, as Naruto helps Shikamaru and Shiho on decoding Jiraiya's message. They are able to figure out that each number, following the "Ta" katakana, references a character in Jiraiya's Make-Out Tactics book, which Kakashi is forced to read out loud. They inform Tsunade and Fukasaku of the message, which reads "The Real One Is Not There", and Fukasaku offers to take Naruto back to Mt. Myoboku for training in Sage Jutsu, which Naruto accepts.
Quote:
Episode 155:

Naruto continues his training to gather in Natural Energy to learn Sage Jutsu, however, the risk in doing so is that, if too much Natural Energy enters the body, the recipient might turn into a frog. Fukasaku helps Naruto prevent this, and later gives Naruto the first book that Jiraiya wrote, which makes Naruto remember Jiraiya bequeathing his mission for world peace to him. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki learn that the Killer Bee Sasuke brought back was only a clone as the Six Paths of Pain and Konan head out to Konoha.

Another double episode? Its kind of weird that there would be two in a row, but I guess they are trying to do this right after making everyone sit through the fillers.

The anime also took that break last week. A double episode makes sense. Looking forward to it.

This was a good episode. I actually didn't flick past any parts at all which is a surprise.. and I laughed too

The new opening is spoiler mad so don't watch it if you don't wanna see what happens in the future

I don't think it's too spoilerish.

I didnt realized the episode end.. I thought my stream died on me .. Awesome awesome episode.. I knew from reading.. but it really gives me goosebump when the sage frog invites Naruto to train at the mountain under his guidance.

And look! Tako Luka

The new opening is really disappointing. I was hoping for something rougher and heavier for such an epic arc. Instead we got something that's nearly a lullaby.

I kind of agree. I like some of the fighting scenes, and finally seeing Naruto in sage mode animated (and not done by a fan with Flash) was exciting. But I personally like the actual music from the previous OP a lot better.

The ED is even less appealing. The song and images feel like they don't even belong to this show. Is that supposed to be Hinata? If so she certainly looks different. Oh well, maybe it will change before this arc's done... but considering the content I doubt it.

I know what you mean. I hate having to choose my words so carefully when discussing a new OP/ED

What? I think the music of the OP was good, but of course the previous OP's better. Come to think of it the OP didn't spoil much and gave some wrong impressions The ED however is bad and it really doesn't fit Naruto

I've been waiting for that moment...ahahahah a tentacle!

A good OP but has quiet some spoilers... but then again it also has some random scenes so without reading manga you can't really tel. But one scene there really shouldn't be included...
And I actually would wish that some parts of that OP would actually be included in real show...


And WTF with Hinata based ending? 0_o
What has she forgotten there? And it completely doesn't suit the mood...

What's with all the whining about some small spoilers. It's just a little foreshadowing and it's in fact very normal for anime openings to do this.

Yeah, what else besides Pain attacking Konoha could they have shown in the OP? Would anyone want an OP about Naruto training?

But one specific scene really shouldn't be there.
