haha the comedy between suigetsu and karin is good stuff. cool new intro and ending.

[Frenchie]

Ahh, my dear Juugo. Finally you're here so people may bask in your eternal glory.

Good ep', and I somewhat like the filler they've made to introduce the new characters. I seem to have heard Karin's voice before, but I can't seem to recall who the seiyuu played.

[Sinn]

Shit quality animation, is all i can say. Well this epi is a so-so, but i loled hard when Sasuke looked at Suigetsu to wait for him to slice the door, lmao

You know, the new ed for naruto is... We have Sakura fanservice, Tsunade fanservice, whatever fanservice for girls and boys, though gaara's swimming suit is an eyescream, he looks gay in that. Rofl

The Omake was weird, because Kakashi doesn't sound right for some reason.

Her name is Kanako Tojo and as far as I can tell she has voiced Ivy (Soul Calibur), Pit (SSMB), and Lucas (SSMB)
I can't find any anime voice acting though...

[elite-dreams]

LOL wow karin's change in personality after locking the door xD "i'm coming" sounded so wrong rofl.
sigh i guess they're really gana drag each new member by each episode ToT
oh well, more sasuke then :3

[AuroraFlash]

The filler parts are awesome, dudes.
It's finally revealed. Karin is a redhead with red eyes. quite a hot-cold-contrast to suigetsu (blue/purple/white)....

Jugo seems to be a nice guy. =)

I love Karin in the anime. She is one of those characters who works better animated.

The animation was pretty crap. I remember one part where Sui's face looked like an alien's.

The new ending reminded me of the one back in Part 1 where all the girls were playing on the bleach.

Did it seem like we stared at Sakura's little arse for like 5 minutes? Didn't do anything for me. Well at least I got semi-naked Shikamaru to make up for it. Gaara did look weird in that wetsuit.

I use to skip the endings.
Karin was nice. I totally liked the animation, but she is just as I imagined her to be. Guess I would not take her either. She's too easy to get. Who can tell how many men she already had? Could be countless....

[Fran~]

Well, it was fun, yes, but the extra part when Karin meet Sasuke was way, WAY too much

About the ending, what names wrote Sakura under the umbrella?.
You know, in Japan the names of a pair is written under a umbrella like in occident you put the names inside a heart.

So please, can you read what names wrote Sakura?.

Interesting question now that you mention it

[Zabu_san]

Meh, pretty mediocre episode for me...I couldn't really care for Karin in the manga so an episode devoted to her was pretty uneventful for me...The animation was horrendous...A majority of their budget must have went to the film...Which looks gorgeous, pointless story, but gorgeous animation nonetheless...

I liked the ED, it'll take a lil' while to grow on me...Loved the new OP animation as well...I'm curious when the new OP song will happen...I HATE the current OP song...

All I care about now is the fact that @ the end of this month Kakashi Gaiden will be animated!!

Really? Amazing!

[Fran~]

Teh intarweps is an amazing place, you can have an answer for everything. I found the answer for the "umbrella question". Innera from Narutofan.com wrote this:

and there's sakuraxsasuke written and sasuke's name crossed out.
no doubt now :3 i think sakura crossed it out and started running. and she is drinking narutonic XD well, it may be nothing but it looks like a hint about sakura's feelings changing?

you know it's funny what says the song at that moment:

"kimi no doryoku ga jishin ni kawaru toki made oitudukereba ii"
君の努力が自信に変わる時まで追い続ければいい

>>"go on untill your efforts turn into selfconfidence "
(sorry if the english sound wrong XD)

so, there...

[Luminion Lancer]

^Well we know that the animators love Sakura much more than the fans of the series. Guess this is just their way of saying *insert sing-song voice* "We know something you don't". *Sigh* If only their input was considered canon...

Remember now, the American ViZ site shows the "new" episodes a week later, so do the math!!

Huzzah!!

[~Destiny~]

Oh wow, little Kakashi looks absolutely adorable there

[Fran~]

I would watch that only to see Minato in action...

[zaxthezax]

I liked the episode overall. And I like all this Sasuke fangirl stuff! xD
Not because it's Sasu fangirls but because it's so loveley fangirlish!! Ouh yea!

But i think Karin as well as Suigetsu (Sui a bit more) look kinda off.. regarding colors of hair and cloth.

[Forever]

The animation really sux for this one. Furthermore, the slow moving pace really tempts me to fast forward the ep.
