Legitimately seethe at the mouth against it. This episode is way more popular on Toonami-Gaf than I thought it'd be.

Cause this episode is incredibly well animated

 

[Moaradin]

Seriously, this fight is awesome

 

[B-Dubs]

Legitimately seethe at the mouth against it. This episode is way more popular on Toonami-Gaf than I thought it'd be.

It looks fantastic in motion, even if it is off-model.

 

[ckohler]

This animation is part hype, part amazing and part hilarious looking.

 

[MetatronM]

Man, this is bananas.

 

[Man God]

Amita Drive

 

[zedreamcast]

Fuck your sealing jutsu. And fuck that's such a fucking hype shot.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Wow Naruto. Fucked up. That was a priceless family heirloom.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Aww... Granny Tsnade's necklace...

 

[cntr]

Some of the off-modelness is hilarious, but this animation and direction is really good. Miles above what we got for most of this arc.

 

[Morlas]

don't worry hinata only got stabbed next to her heart

 

[Xe4]

Cause this episode is incredibly well animated

Agreed 110%. This is far and away my favorite Naruto Shippuden episode. Those people are crazy.

 

[Man God]

Wow Naruto. Fucked up. That was a priceless family heirloom.

An heirloom from a douchebag.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

This animation is great. Just some of these fucked faces are hilarious.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Oh this is too good.

Oh good. She's alive.

 

[Grexeno]

"Don't worry I'm somehow fine."

 

[B-Dubs]

The whole Naruto vs Pain arc should have been this well animated, it'd have been so much better.

 

[Morlas]

straight up using godzilla noises around here...yep still alive

 

[Man God]

Nani?!?

 

[Schadenfreude]

An heirloom from a douchebag.

Boy, I will reach out and smack you from behind the computer.

 

[foxuzamaki]

The whole Naruto vs Pain arc should have been this well animated, it'd have been so much better.

You must not care for animators health
This is movie quality animation

 

[BBboy20]

Gravity and combustion.

 

[Hidden One]

Shippuden should have ended with this arc.

 

[Man God]

Boy, I will reach out and smack you from behind the computer.

Think about where Tsunade got it from.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Since a lot of you guys don't seem to have known about this episode, it's infamous as one of the most hated episodes of Naruto Shippuden, because people thought the animation was bad.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Pain: Do you hate me now?

 

[Schadenfreude]

You must not care for animators health
This is movie quality animation

Sad part is they probably got paid super bad for all this.

 

[cntr]

I like that stylized smoke.

lol have they watched any other episode of shippuden

 

[Morlas]

at least they don't have to worry about the curse anymore

 

[RagnarokX]

This filler fight is so dumb. Pain should not be surviving all this shit.

 

[Crocodile]

Well so far this episode has been an audio-visual treat

I was kind of losing energy and on the verge of falling asleep but this woke me up something good <3

 

[B-Dubs]

You must not care for animators health

I'm talking about three other episodes max. I know it's hard, but this was supposed to be a pivotal fight in the series and half of it was legit badly directed.

lol have they watched any other episode of shippuden

For real, this is god-tier compared to what we usually get.

 

[MetatronM]

Since a lot of you guys don't seem to have known about this episode, it's infamous as one of the most hated episodes of Naruto Shippuden, because people thought the animation was bad.

These are people who think Shippuden is good, therefore their opinions can be wholly disregarded.

 

[Crocodile]

lol have they watched any other episode of shippuden

Anime fans are the worst and can't spot good animation to save their lives

 

[Schadenfreude]

Good ep so far.

 

[Man God]

These are people who think Shippuden is good, therefore their opinions can be wholly disregarded.

YEP.

 

[cntr]

This filler fight is so dumb. Pain should not be surviving all this shit.

It's actually mostly not filler.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I wouldn't say the most hated, the most controversial absolutely


There is a thread on gaf of people going back and forth on this episode

 

[Xe4]

Since a lot of you guys don't seem to have known about this episode, it's infamous as one of the most hated episodes of Naruto Shippuden, because people thought the animation was bad.

Yeah, some were saying it completely ruined this arc and shit, using like three images/gifs to prove their point too.

It's pretty nuts, and I could never agree with them. This fight is amazing.

It's not. It does have brief moments that make me laugh but overall, it's been phenomenal.

That people would complain about this episode's animation and not the other 100+ episodes of shit, banal, phoned in garbage is telling.

 

[Man God]

This filler fight is so dumb. Pain should not be surviving all this shit.

Pein is a drone.

 

[cntr]

Pain's faces get really dumb sometimes, but this episode's animation is otherwise incredible.

edit: This Sakura and Other Guy shot does look a bit naff, though.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Their faces are all fucked but the animation is great.

 

[SigmasonicX]

These are people who think Shippuden is good, therefore their opinions can be wholly disregarded.

It also gets brought up a lot in general threads about bad animation and such.

What it comes down to is that not all of it is on model and people don't like that cartoon is given the freedom to do things a normal show wouldnt

 

[Morlas]

kyubi naruto is super powerful

 

[BBboy20]

Well, that clone sure is in for a ride.

 

[Man God]

What a squad.

 

[SAB CA]

I feel like this episode is a vehicle for a certain animator / group to get more work, piggybacking off their one chance at Naruto to display themselves before the right people.

Spoiler

Also, all the beating to Pain was obviously scripted by a Hinata fan! ;-)

A whole series that looked like this would probably be very popular. But it is very jarring in the middle of Naruto.
