Naruto Shippuuden Episode 51-52

[redcat]

pretty good ep if you ignore all the flash backs and key word nonsense

ZOMG! Damn you flaskback hell why do you Haunt me so!!!!

Why do you make me go surf the net while the damn flashback is on and wait till you hear something different new and then have to be slammed back to watching the episode!

Damn you flackback twice over!

That first movie-quality episode was a great jumpstart for the series, but man. Really kills the suspense for a duplicate episode. That was the coolest sword extraction ever, though. I don't think Yamato has to worry too much about splinters.

I disagree with it all. Pathetic. The past half of Shippuuden have been a disgrace to the series really. Flashbacks, Naruto calling out "Sasuke" and crying, endless staredowns, and instant growth spurt of "stronger than the me of 5 second ago" after watching the same 5 seconds of fighting for 5 hours... oh and lets not forget the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Rasengan, oh **** I missed combo that plagues almost every fight scene.
Next episode in two weeks is supposed to be an hour long special too. What was it, Leaf Sprouts? For all the time I spend watching months of Naruto that could be cut into 2 or 3 episodes without losing any storyline, I could see a leaf actually sprout from my plant outside...
The Naruto producers should be banned from life.

Yeah. The first half of this special seriously made me want to kill myself. And I wasn't bothered by the last "staring contest special". I think this one was made worse by the fact that I'd already seen it. I really didn't need that 1cm/second camera crawl up Sasuke's body when they finally revealed him.

That said, once Sasuke started actually, you know, moving, it was awesome. Fucking Chidori sword, seriously pimp. And the stuff with Kyuubi was badass even though it was old.


Preview Spoiler:


I actually watched the preview this week on a whim and the goddamn PREVIEW was shots of Naruto and Sasuke staring back and forth. I'm starting to hate Naruto specials because they easily fit into a normal episode if you cut out the staring. And its like BECAUSE is a special they add 15 more minutes of stares.
