........why do I feel like they are on planet Namek?
The hit Naruto did was awesome, but after that it was a really drawn out "setup" special for the really GOOD stuff to come.
At least now we know exactly who Yamato really is. That was nice, as I was thinking something slightly different.![]()

Well I'm not getting my hopes up. I thought this episode was gonna be good and look at what I get. T.T. It was a double too. Doubles my frustration. It's interesting now, knowing what the First can do, and why Yamato is assigned as their squad leader.Originally Posted by Maverick-DBZ-
Yes, it sucks that the wait for the next one will be so long.
There was a lot of buildup here, but they managed to actually make the 4 tails transformation a little more interesting than it was in the manga. I don't recall the water-treading hallucinations or floating through the Kyuubi rot-iron gate, I thought it was done well. The flashbacks I could have done without, of course. I'll agree that there was too little action for a special-especially at this point in the story. But man, of the action we got, it was awesome to see Orochimaru get his face messed up and lose an arm to Naruto. An arm! Don't start with the "But Oro haxx0red and got them back," the last time it happened was a last ditch effort by a hokage level and Naruto hasn't even put effort into this yet. Aside from his diaphragm I mean.
The Sakura KO due to heat-seeking Kabuto forced a lol outta me.
Yeah, there was a 20 minute block in there where I was about to punch my monitor if Naruto didn't make a move. SO FRUSTRATING AAUUAHHAHS
That stuff was in the manga. Trust me, anything that was cool in this episode came from the manga.Originally Posted by DayoftheDante
The crazy skin shedding trick of Oro's is great....especially since it reminds you of how badass he used to be before his arms were sealed.

I thought that someone might call me on the manga material. I wasn't 100% about that stuff, and I think it's because I focused on what happened afterwards and forgot about the buildup. I'm just saying that it's cool to see the animation create something that I'll remember over the manga. I love how sometimes it makes things clear to you that you didn't understand fully from the manga cells. Like how it clarified Sasori's relationship with his "parent's" for me, as an example.
They seriously have no excuse for these long ass episodes of nothing, the first 20 min after the slap or ownage was just staring each other down. They have so much manga material why do they drag out each episode with flash backs, like 1-2 min of staring at each other mulitple times and making 1 chapter of 16 pages of manga = 1hour of naruto anime? There was't enough in that episode to even equal a regular 30 minute show >.<. Then to top it all off, no naruto until january 10th lol just awesome.
Funny how bleach is going to fast with the anime while it didn't have a huge gap between anime/manga, and naruto is going to slow with theres when they have alot of manga to use. They should switch writers.
At least they had a hilarious part with sakura literally getting hit with kabuto, an oro getting the biggest bitch slap in history.
I think that was the first time we actually had to wait for Naruto to attack someone.
Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!
watching this was painful. Someone warn me the next time Naruto transforms like that, because I could use the sleep.
