31 is a really, REALLY boring episode. To me it felt like a waste of good 25 mins like it often has since shippuuden began. I dunno maybe you can enjoy it if you like overdramatic anime talk. Talk that goes on for 90% of the episode that it. It just goes on and on and on and fuck you could've put all that shit in 10 minutes and have the rest of the episode display something even remotely interesting. There's also the event that everyone has guessed to happen since 5 episodes ago.

Also the new opening is a really big spoilerfest if you can do some 1 + 1. It has a really gay jpop song too. At least the animation was decent, not that anything really moved.

Haha my thoughts exactly... But since all the action just finished (With the whole battling Deidra and Sasori), there's gonna be quite a long period of talking the entire episode and dragging shit out for way too long... It'll be a span of maybe 4-5 episodes, if not more..

i thought the new OP was pretty cool, the song too

at least we're finally moving into Sai! I can't wait to see how they do him in the anime. That's what I liked about the new OP, it showed that some shit is FINALLY HAPPENING.

Plus, what, is 32 out? Or are people hypothesizing about what's going to happen? (pretty easy, based on the preview).

EDIT: You know what I really don't like about the Shippuuden openings? The bloody white bars on top and bottom. I dunno, it's nothing major, it's just annoying.

the latest episode was quite a tear jerker, and im wondering now that gaara is back, but without his one tail demon, how powerful is he still? And was anyone else miffed that he lost without releasing his demon during the fight over the village of the sand?

32 was ok i guess, although they could've just had all/most of this in 31 already. Absolutely nothing happens but it's a LOT better than 31, which isn't very hard to achieve. The 'humour' part in the desert feels really forced to me.

I was expecting a lot manlier/better voice for Tobi tho, now he sounds like a some gay fat kid. I like how his suit looks like it belongs to the Shredder.

I'm not even going to mention Sai since his appearance just speaks for itself.

dont think so, but raw is.

God damn it. Keeping up with Naruto and Bleach on a 64 kb/s connection = not cool.

Well, I managed to find some enjoyment in 31, so I suppose I'll grab 32 overnight or something.

Another slow ep but its a transition episode into the next arc so they couldn't help it.. I noticed Sai but who's Tobi?

The manga is only getting better and better. I really just wish it was done a little better. I'm having problems understanding what's going on in the panels.

Umm are you like ignoring how the plot is just sucking in EVERY fantasy cliche possible in just like 3 chapters? It's like they tried to go with something even semi-original at first but now they're all like 'fuck it, back to the tried and true'.
