Finally something awesome again on this series.
All the episode was great for me, even the stupid keyword sections (the first one was based on a manga poster btw, I don't believe this is a spoiler btw)
Konohamaru's section at the beginning was good, it was nice to see something well planned, unlike several 80+ previous eps.
Akatsuki! w00t!
Too much to discuss... like Bleach once again.
I hope they keep the Shinigami Gold... errr... the section at the end.
it's about time. i thought the opening was confusing since i don't read the manga but i guess it's safe to assume that they find sasuke. the animation in this episode was way better than the filler crap, hopefully they can keep it up. the akatsuki guy reminded me of vampire hunter d in the way that they have the mouth in the palm of their hand that they have to feed. it looks like it's going to be three on one for gaara unless kankuro or temari can make it back to the sand village in time to help. i was always a bit curious as to what would happen with naruto and becoming a chuunin. i guess i thought they would just magically have him be a chuunin when he came back. i know someone mentioned that it was odd that shikamaru is still a chuunin while others have moved past him. shika is probably just too lazy to move up a rank. or it's possible that the skills required to become a juunin are skills that shika lacks and the others excel at. naruto is going to be like billy madison going through all these exams and crap.
uh...is that what i think it is?

Your using a mac, thats what it looks like :P
Anyways, I guess this is what I get for posting this many pages in, but what ever one has said so far. The keyword thing I didn't mind as my eyes were still glossed over at rest of the ep. It was so awesome to see it in fine shape again. Seriously this was so needed to bring me back to naruto (even like no action ever really happened...yet)
On the note of future EPs it will be bad ass to see garaa fight again.I'm sure this is going to happen as I know the 400 other odd ninja aren't main characters :P
image fail!
What's with the Konohamaru hate? IIRC that was in the manga. It's not filler crap. It's playing homage to Team 7 and also adding to the "nostalgia."
Why hasn't anyone complained that they replayed 30 seconds verbatim of what happened before Sakura's keyword interruption? That's worse than all the flashbacks they threw in. This "1 hour special" was full of filler crap. 30 seconds replayed, lots of flashbacks, keyword nonsense. Without all that filler and the unnecesary teaser at the beginning, this would've been a good regular 30 minute episode.
I also didn't care for all the computer animation. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
After a year and half I can finally start getting a weekly dosage of Naruto again. That in itself is quite nostalgic.
Everyone has said what needs to be said, for or otherwise to certain aspects of the Shippuden, but all in all we all agree that it was an awesome welcome back. So I dont have much to add on... Other than, Definitely the DB version's translation is more accurate than the SD translation. I watched both and in listening and following along I found that DB's translation was pretty much correct. However SD's version had quite a number of totally incorrect translations. Eg when Iruka is talking about how its being quite a long time since Naruto went off to train with Jiraiya (which is what he says), however in SD's version, they translate the "it has been quite some time" as "He was really serious too", and what Tsunade said afterwards is somewhat incorrectly translated.
But dont get me wrong, I still am glad that they at least subbed it and put it out to be dled. I'd rather have that, than have nothing at all.
My favorite part of this episode was when Naruto realized how goddamn annoying he was!
i saved a unicorn
