I hope this episode will be interesting... even if the filler hasn't be too good so far.

[Mists]

Don't these fillers make it seem like the '3 years before Oro gets a new body' seem ridiculous? Wasn't it like 2 weeks left when they found Sasuke or something? I remember they mentioned the timelimit somewhere...

And now they're stuck handling fodder for a while, although I wonder if they'll mention Sasuke and the time limit at all.

This episode was ok, even if quite slow paced.
Naruto and friends fell into the filler villains' trap, but the fights will start next episode. And that's a shame, because the animation quality in this episode was really good.

[cloak_and_dagger]

^ i agree..nosebleed and fight next episode

[Jerseykid]

very entertaining episode although the level of power seemed rather high for people who don't have epic monsters living inside them.

Naruto was gone for 2.5 years, meaning 6 months before the 3 year mark. I doubt its been 6 months since the beginning of the time skip to where it is now.

::nit pick::

early on their were four trails for the coffins, not that long later there's three trails.

[Frenchie]

Loved it once again. I found these fillers to be more entertaining than 80% of Shippuuden episodes so far.

Loved the Doton techniques, and looking forward to the fights. Wondering when Ino-Shika-Chou is gonna get some screentime though.

Hope they don't use them as a cliffhanger for the fight that's about to start

[filthydani]

ANyone knows when the fillers are going to finish?

[Frenchie]

Fillers = non-manga. So how in the world do you expect anyone to be able to tell you when the fillers finish? It's pretty doubtful any animators or high-ups in the production studio are visiting these forums AND would give you a truthful answer.

Make the maths yourself.

An arc is typically 20-30 episodes... so think around at least that much, or maybe less if they don't want to mess with the storyflow too much. Keep in mind there's two teams on two different missions (Team Kakashi, team Asuma) and they might want to cover both.

[Rahan]

Well, the tea country fillers lasted only 4 episodes. 5 with the Kakashi mask episode that was aired just before.

I have yet to see the episode but apparently, the arc is far from being finished right ?
From the titles of the upcoming episodes, I thought 61 and 62 had a decent chance of being canon.

[Ichimaru]

sora lacks hatred

[KholdStare]

It was enjoyable at the very least, but it's good if it's all building up for the next episode.

[Kenu]

How good are these real fillers.

New techniques, new refreshing enemies. Unfortunately same boring "avenger" around. Give the Sasuke look-a-like or Sasuke emo-a-like a break.

In any case an enjoyable episode and much better than the bore fest that was before

Well it's definitely better than Lee and Gai racing through the country asleep.

[Freya]

It has been asked and answered a thousand times already. Even in this thread.
