EDIT: WTF masa? I can add releases to my own post you know...or is this the common thing to do in Naruto ep threads?

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

Wow. the Gai on Gai scene is probably the lamest thing I have ever seen.
They are going all out with this new movie advertising.

Edit...Actually, I will go with DB on this one. Thanks though....

ahhh so it's the movie they're advertising. i thought it was an upcoming filler arc, and became a little worried.

anyway, episode was alright, i guess. sakura's fight is still the only interesting thing going on.

[Yukimura]

Okay episode, though as usual the clone fights take a large bite out of the enjoyability of the whole. At least with Naruto and Kakashi they start talking about doing something instead of just doing the same thing over and over and rambling about nothing.

Sakura pwning the Hokage puppet was pretty pimp, but from the next ep it looks like Sasori's got even more with him so the fight drags on...

Lol @ the movie girl in the ED. She reminds me a lot of Inuyasha. She dresses and looks like Inuyasha and is carried around everywhere like Kagome.

[DarthEnderX]

Whoever animated Gai and Lee in this episode seriously needs to be fucking shot. I mean, they just need to die right now.


Aside from that, this episode was great. Sakura not sucking. Awsome.

Although, I knew right away she was faking being poisoned. Seriously, Sasori is retarded for using the puppet for the killing blow. Er, she's surrounded in giant metal blades you have control of. WHY couldn't you have used one of those? But no, your a dipshit, and now your badass toy is busted.

The Sasori fight got interesting at the very end, but everything leading up to that was a bit strange from a strategic point of view. The whole point of iron sand is that you can shape it to whatever you want, and manipulate each individual piece to your will. When you have a weapon like that, quantity is far more valuable than quality (i.e. size). He should use it like Kuchiki's flower petal zanpakutou instead of shaping them into two massive blocks.

And as already mentioned, the Team Gai stuff has reached new levels of absurdity. Now they don't even bother making new scenes. Each fight is just 3 second sequences played over and over...

Sakura usually underwhelms me, even when she has the upper hand in a battle.

But that last strategy of hers was probably the smartest thing I've seen Sakura manage in the whole series. When she first pocketed the antidote, I figured she'd just predictably use it to revive herself after battle, not employ it as her trump card.

[itadakimasu]

going with DB.... not that teh other 2 are bad but.... DB. Anyhow.. im dead tired and if this dl's in the next 10 minutes im going to stay up and watch it tonight.

[darkmetal505]

Episode was made of fail. LOL at Sakura getting punched in the stomach by Tsunade. Priceless. I just realized that Hiruko's tail sounds like a Zerg egg.

[DDBen]

I'm pretty sure this episode has the worst animation of any episode of Naruto EVER. That aside the oh 3 or so minutes of plot that took place were pretty decent but they might as well have just had children running around with paper cutouts of the characters.

[RyougaZell]

Good episode most of the time.
Team Gai's battles were bad because they over used frames this time.

Oh...I'd actually completely forgotten that she had an antidote for his poison.

I just thought she cut herself to make it look like Sasori had got her, but she wasn't really poisoned at all.

But that thing you just said makes even more sense.

It rather seems to me it's because he's lacking that kind of control that he forms big objects out of it and flings them at his opponents. The man sized metal spikes were the smallest effective forms, I suppose. This would suggest his control over the movements is pretty limited and he can't give them more than a limited speed either. So, anything small would just tickle the opponent (or jam puppets). Still, I'm not saying his battle tactics with the iron sand were anywhere near optimal.

Other than that, Sasori probably owns the largest medicine consortium in the Naruto universe if he indeed was able to produce highly efficient toxins so much that he was able to coat all the particles of that impressive amount of sand (tons of it) with it. You don't cook up that much poisons in your kitchen.

I can't do anything else but to agree with all previous posters on the majority of things mentioned.
Though I wondered why Sakura has long hair in the learning-flashback?

[HokageSama]

I also thought it was strange that Sakura had long hair in the flashback. Considering she started training with Tsunade when Sasuke left. Maybe she grew her hair back to chop it off again? Or something equally retarded.

But the clone fighting scene...5 mins of repeated movement and Neji's "insight" just really killed it. I should edit all the previous 5 episodes to take out those unnecessary scenes and create a super-mega-hyper-global-lameless episode(s) that should have been done.

I agree with DarthEnder that the animators should be shot, but why stop there? The directors should also be shot for allowing this to happen and the way that they edited these past few episodes have seriously undermined the quality of the show before the time jump.

There....that felt better.

Or someone can do the opposite - remove all the crap from the last 10 episodes and make remaining scenes into a single episode packed with real content.

Maybe to show us that time had passed since Naruto left and finally she was too busy training to cut her hair! -dg-

[HachimonTonkou]

i like to compare the manga with the animation and I like how they add little things here and there to make the scenes more exciting. it's not surprise that the team gai fight scenes are boring, but I think the sakura fight is always worth watching because of the new jutsu's. i like it.

[Kuncoss]

All right, convinced!

On a different note, one of us mentioned Team Guy's clones may have all been genjitsu. I took that seriously for a while, until I saw them radio each other again. They haven't really shown us what those clones are at the moment, have they? I'm thinking they're like the itach/kisame zero technique, and somehow gain your stats when you touch the seal. But they why didn't Kakashi have a clone too? If the idea was to make sure two teams had to be there to dispel the seal, then why not hold up the team at the entrance as well?

Maybe Akatsuki thought that if they could take on anyone who removed the seal on the boulder and didn't bother to make a trap there?

[Idealistic]

If time has passed and her hair grew back, we should've seen some growth as well. All we saw was little 12 year old Sakura from the first arc.

I'm just going to take it in as the animators screwed up.
