I'm dissapointed with this episode. The water looks weird and so did Neji's new move.

I did love the preview though. Judging from the scenes, next episode looks to be great! The commentaries given during the preview felt kind of ominous thanks to the watery background sound and the scenes shown (that part where the woman says "You will get wet" was both funny and creepy).

DS HOW LONGBDO YOU THINK WE HAVE TILL THEN (considering the PACE of it atm)

well, it was around chapter 290 and right now the anime is around chapter 260 but there's one long fight coming and assuming anime has even a bit faster pace for that, maybe around 20 episodes, give or take.

I would hope 20 episodes be the MAXIMUM, but sadly it may take that long to get to those juicy scenes.

The upcoming fight, I just know they'll drag it out to the maaaax. It isn't that bad though, I still want too see it animated and it's definitely something to look forward to.

P.S:

Itachi is sooo lame too.

"I will use my eyes to simulate me actually attacking you when I'm not.

"Your mind will simulate the pain and make it feel like it's reality."

"Now that I used this technique I am out of chakra."

"GET HIM AKATSUKI!"

He is so over-rated in my opinion. And the fact that both Sasuke and Kakashi learned that Mageyko makes him look even more shit.

Two of my favourite bad guys have not appeared yet (they are obviously in the Akatsuki)... Won't say anything though.

You should give a warning if you are going to post manga spoilers. And about that, Sasuke hasn't learned Mangekyou Sharingan.

If they drag on the upcoming fight with the episode per chapter pace, it's going to be really bad. Having a fight last for ten episodes is just too much.

Yeah, I already knew the title for this episode would be stupid.

And the animation wasn't any better than last week. Kisame looked really weird in some shots and the animation quality wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, although it was still cool to see Gai opening 6 gates. What was up with those water pillars though? And yeah, the nunchaku part with water flying around was just so badly made.

I don't understand why the animation is so... Incosistent.

I know the animators have been switch a few times in the past but this is just retarded. The last two episodes battle scenes were really crappy. Even the general animation of the show was poor overall. I hope things shape up better later.

Oh btw, I really, REALLY laughed out loud at the part where Gai swung his nunchuks at the Kisame's water clone while running.

I really want to see an episode of shippuden animated like the gaara and lee fight! Hope Morning Peacock isn't messed up!

So far the battle with Itachi and Kisame is moving really slow. That's pretty annoying. I didn't read the manga at this point but, when are they gonna do the Sasori fight I've been waiting to see that because he is my favorite character. I hate it when in the anime they make the fights so long. So far in the Itachi fight I'm not seeing much happening at all. Even though I haven't read the manga you know that Itachi is just gonna be like "We'll meet again!" I hate it when they do that in fights.

I think this week's episode is one of the best ones so far (which isn't saying that much at this point), though I was a bit disappointed with how Oodama Rasengan was done. I was expecting it to be a bit more dramatic and see it from close range, like when Rasengan was introduced against Kabuto. It was still very well animated though and the animation in this episode was mostly really nice. Another thing I didn't like was how the Morning Peacock part didn't have any music and therefore didn't feel very important. It still looked awesome though. The filler scenes were pretty well done too except for the Kabuto flashbacks which didn't fit at all.

'twas fine. I didn't find it that great an episode though, but it was definitely better than the previous few eps.
