Well I'm out.

I love the fact that I'm done at 11:30pm. 30 minutes after Toonami would have started if I was still in CST.

 

[zedreamcast]

I still go back to this episode every so often

da bes

Its sad how the best naruto episodes arent canon.

 

[BatDan]

Right then, time for more world building!

He was probably a guest director, like how Mamoru Hosoda was a guest director on that One Piece G8 episode.

He also directed one of the best OP movies

Like what the hell happened here? That had to be one of the best Nartuo episodes EVER. Like holy shit imagine if the entire show was this quality? It would be like the best shonen anime ever. Holy shit. I'm so used to you guys say "it gets good" without it amounting to much but it fucking delivered here. Goddamn O_O

It'd still be tied to Kishi's god awful writing and there's only so much directing, framing, etc can do to fix shitty story telling. Considering the best written parts of this episode WEREN'T in the manga says a lot.

 

[Black-Wind]

It's weird that Kakashi would be the one to come to be honest.

He never seemed particularly close to Asuma.

It's Naruto, the women can't do anything but pop out babies for the most part so the person he should be closest to can't do shit.

 

[Htown]

That would require the 1-2? people here who haven't already read the manga/watched the anime to understand what kage level means

Actually I don't think there's anyone left who hasn't already seen this animated or read the manga

Sup.

 

[Raxus]

It is kind of a shame we didn't cut out most of the stuff after Asuma died because this episode covers so much on that front. It was a great eulogy episode and character building for Shikamaru.

 

[Soulflarz]

Back to the show I like :3

The original episode.

 

[BassForever]

Sup.

I bow to your patience it must be hard to watch Shippuden weekly

 

[foxuzamaki]

Damn good episode of Naruto. One of the best. Part of the reason why this arc is probably my favorite arc in Naruto. The other reason comes later

I forgot how good the main fight of this arc looked until I saw snippets of it when checking out a animator's work.
you guys are really in for a treat for that if you havent seen it.

 

[UltraGunner]

Can't believe we're still doing the whole Savage tribal trope in 2015.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Tsunade.

Shikamaru is the smartest mother on the planet.

Just let him do his thing.

Except his dad.

Crazy Crazy Rainbow Pie

 

[Imperial Bishop]

One Piece time.

 

[ckohler]

Crazy Crazy Rainbow Stah

 

[Amikami]

This is legit one of my favorite episodes.

 

[Raxus]

Time to finish off strong.

 

[Zonic]

I am so freakin' ready for a new OP for OP.

 

[Man God]

I saw my boy Shanks in the credits!

 

[Soulflarz]

Crazy

Crazy

Rainbow

Which is worse, the shitty Butt Rock of Akame Ga Kill or the shitty Ska of One Piece?

Butt rock anyday

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This party's going hard all night long.

not a spoiler, a tease

Spoiler

#85 might be my favorite 'action' Naruto episode, period.

True but if they are at least given as much leeway as they were here, I think it has a chance at being salvaged. I think we all agree that there are kernels of goodness within the Naruto core - it just takes talent to extract it amongst all the nonsense.

 

[redmetal86]

Wealth, fame, power.

Gol.D Roger has none of these, because he's dead.

AGK since Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star isn't bad :3

 

[MetatronM]

PREVIOUSLY, ON ONE PIECE

 

[Regiruler]

Enjoy your pirates, ARRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Man God]

DERESHI

 

[Grexeno]

And now these fucks

 

[zedreamcast]

Who???

 

[Moaradin]

REMEMBER THESE FUCKS?

 

[Zonic]

& then all the thieves made out because everyone was away from their homes.

 

[BatDan]

Oh jeez, these two.

 

[Seda]

 

[UltraGunner]

Who the hell are these guys?

 

[MetatronM]

Wasting time with these fucks again.

 

[Htown]

I bow to your patience it must be hard to watch Shippuden weekly

the show is ass.

I cope by not caring

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Isn't the former just an unofficial intro?

 

[Schadenfreude]

I ship it.

True, CC2 has done a fairly good job of that in their Ultimate Storm games

 

[GaimeGuy]

These guys STILL have the wrong idea

 

[Korigama]

Can't believe we're still doing the whole Savage tribal trope in 2015.

The guy near the end of that commercial looked vaguely like Captain Jack Sparrow.

Random commentary aside, I have a rather low opinion of Eli Roth's work, so I expect nothing from it.

 

[lazybones18]

Paulie is a lucky man

 

[Soulflarz]

?_?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The Abbott and Costello of Water 7?

 

[Man God]

Might have to gif this.
