Its all about gettin the viewers to tune in every time. It does that on purpose.
they haven't put out a decent episode in a while. I'd recommend you read the manga as its by far better than the last few episodes of the anime....but you might end up hating episodes like this even more when you realize how they are butchering some of the great moments.
Having said that I believe it should start getting better really soon. Atleast I hope. It'd be awful if naruto turned into DBZ:/
Agree in lots of ways. I first saw 68 raw, but after watching it dubbed my view of it has kind of changed. I like it a little bit better now, the time wasting part pisses me off to. just have to get used to it.
They're called filler episodes, and yeah, they do piss me off too.
But all great animes do it, i.e. Dragon Ball Z. God knows how much time was wasted in that series. But still, you just gotta have patience to put up with it. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

yeah this is true...but you can do fillers in a good way. Eg naruto riding gamabunta's back or being chased by the bulls enroute to the chunin exam. They were atleast funny and contribute to character building.
Guess the last few have been dragged out just too much:/ Atleast Naruto is back soon he usually provides comic relief to make episodes like this bearable http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Um, the reason why they made such a big deal with it with Sasuke is because he was such a newbie ninja at the time.
Those guys probaly have had years of training.

ok, its almost 2 am here, so i could b wrong....but this isn't the open discussion.
and as far as i know, we dont talk about eps until 24 hours after the A/A release.
rock lees sticky was posted at 11:59 am.....almost 12 pm, on the 30th......so we must wait till 10 pm on the 31st.....thats still about 12 hours away.
now i suggest u delete ur entire post and fast cuz u've given away the whole episode basically. u better hope no one reads that and spoils the ep for themselves........
mm i agree but yes do read the rules
i'd be more than happy to discuss it if it was moved to the open forum though
Don't watch the series if you think its that gay what they do.
Ok, i hope that butts will be liberally kicked for the thread, and they all feel the backhand of Justice, Minsc style.
#1, quit your bitching
#2, follow the rules http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif im not a mod, but the rules are there for a reason.
#3, when you call everything "gay", it's hard for people to take you seriously.
#4, quit your bitching. do you seriously want naruto to be one, constant, neverending battle sequence?
Maybe we could add robots, and give them laser cannons! and then the ninjas (who used new and exciting jutsus every episode) could have huge battles with the robots! and then Hitler, with guns for arms, would come, and then he'd just start killing the robots AND the ninjas at once! Then the robots with lasers could team UP with the ninjas, and have a huge robo-nin army. They could fight Hitler with guns-for-arms, who would look totally kickass, would start fighting the badass robo-nin army to the death!
sound good?
edit: naruto is awesome
Exactly! I'm sick and tired of people comparing Naruto with the worst parts of DBZ. I say "worst parts" because overall DBZ was an excellent series. And so is Naruto!
The only time your complaints will be taken seirously if the following examples happened:
1) They stand still for a long time after a battles begun( this has happen only once in Naruto so far and I see no problem bitching about that)
2) Furious screaming for half of the episode. (Has not happen yet)
3) Crappy animation during important battles(has only happen once, but I wish it didn't happen since it seems to create a sense of peril for some fans)
Drag out too much, but the beginning started off to a good start and then its started to suck after the snakes attacked.. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif well thats just not wanted here, stop dragging the episodes.. but maybe the Naruto creaters did this on purpose to fool us! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em...mf_dribble.gif so just wait and be patient.. even my sister started spazzing at me because i wouldnt let her watch it wheni was doing my hw, then after the ep, she started saying, "you made me wait for that?!?!!" meh, sisters.. who needs em? haha http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif
ima wait for the next ep!

that's a pretty cool story line!
The show is a current base storyline, as in happens in real time, day by day. It'll be slow to some because of that but the story does progress.
The manga is much faster since it's still drawings and not animation, but a lot is happening in the show....

filer ep yea you can call it that the only thingr wrong is that it isnt a filler ep. its not a very good ep but it set things up for the 10 episodes coming.
I can't believe your saying the hokage vs Orochimaru fight is going to be gay.FYI
hokage=strongest person in the village
Orochimaru=Senin and student of the strongest hokage.
rickytan, you have earned yourself your first official warning for discussing an episode without waiting the 24 hours after its release, and you have also proven to everyone on these forums that you are a major homophobe by calling everything 'gay' in a negative way. Feel good?
Follow Assassin's time frame people, and wait a bit.... I'm not sure what time exactly, but I think he got it right.
So, I watched Anbu-aone's naruto ep 68. (it's the only one i could watch without it playing extremely slow).
Anyways, episode was awesome http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Screwed up thing was everyone was using that fire-breathing technique everywhere. I recall when Sasuke used it in the past, they all made a huge deal out of it like OMG! HE CAN DO THAT?!?!!
Then they wasted a few episodes about his abilities and crap. And now, it's the most common thing around because everyone friggin ninja in konoha knows it. (except anythign below chuunin, then again, they don't show anyone below chuunin fighting sand ninjas or big snakes).
So in a way, those programmars or animators or whoever are the ones who decide on what happens in episodes are pissing me off for wasting weeks just on 1 small thing that becomes so common later on. I used to think that fire-breathing jutsu was special because he was the only 1 i saw using it till now. How gay.
Another gay thing is how they make a big deal out of a problem, and then close it up with some gayass excuse and it ends like that. kinda like Gaara. Like, damn man, we don't even get to see anything special from him. then it's omg, he used all his chakra, now, run away, we'll get sasuke to chase him for 10 episodes, then have 1 minute of fighting between gaara and sasuke, and that'll end it. (I bet they're going to do this too... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sleep.gif) Now watch, they're probably going to make the next 5 episodes gay because of the preview, you can jsut tell. I'm mean, all they showed was naruto waking up, and chasing a dog. Now, that's going to take up the whole 20 minutes to tell naruto what's going on and chase a dog. Then, they're going to end it with something gay like meeting up with konohamaru. Well, that's my guess, it's going to be something gay like that, won't be exactly that, and if they DO do it, it proves they're just gay (not the happy way either...)
But in a way, it's beneficial for them, and kinda bad for them as well. Since they make the episodes cover less of the story, they get to air more, which gets them more money with the commercials. Then again, people get annoyed, don't bother watching it, and just wait for a few months to watch a few episodes, that people who record or save it on something, in 1 day. So in that case, they're commercials don't get watched. (I hope they don't get watched either... bastards...)
Damn you time wasters!
