It's too bad that this arc is suffering from the same old filler cliches, (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU etc) because otherwise it would be top-notch material. I guess I have to ignore them though because this is about as good as it gets. Nothing much to complain about, but damn, the princess needs to star in a hentai doujin soon where she gets what she deserves (and she does look good enough for me to download it other than to just watch her receive great pain).

Oh and that wasn't Hinata in this episode. It was Shinata. Hinata could never EVER hope to make me go "wow, that was nice".

Filler Hinata > Real Hinata

Seriously.

So, let's see what Renga-sama can do. Probably not very much in any case, since the last episode is the arc finisher.

one of the best filler episodes i've ever seen. Animation was impressive in spots and Hinata's fight was pretty wicked to watch.

Naruto getting trapped under those rocks was sorta BS, along with some other parts where it looked like they cut corners with the animation (at least to me), but i guess it wouldn't be a filler if it didn't have something in it that sucked.

And the 3rd villain's power... wtf? That thing looks like one of the sickest jutsus ever! Almost improbable for such an unknown ninja to have such a great ability but I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

The animation in this "filler episode" was much improved over previous episodes, but it looks like that's only in parts, like they have more than one animation house doing different scenes of the same episode?

I still enjoy these "filler episodes" because like I said before, it adds to the Naruto story. They could run through and finish the Naruto\Sasuke\Itachi\Orochimaru story in about 100 episodes, but we'd hear plenty of complaints about that from this community instead of the filler complaints.

I'm glad they're showing these side missions to develop other characters, like with Hinata in this episode. A previous poster said this wasn't the real Hinata, and that pre-filler Hinata sucked. Well, without this "filler episode", we wouldn't get to see Hinata evolve this way. I think they should have shown these "filler episodes" more interspersed with the main storyline, but I guess this all has to do with the change to 15 years old for the characters.
