Naruto - 197 - Let’s take a closer look!
It’s another filler but I’ve watched through and made some obversations!
Naruto is widescreen like whoa! Just kidding! This week’s opening and ending consist of screenshots from the newest Naruto movie that looks like a “Jungle Book” ripoff. Anyway I have this budding feeling the fillers will conclude on or before episode 200. I feel this will be the last arc and we fill finally see the glorious part 2!! Anyway here are some observations I made throughout this episode!

From the opening sequence is another screenshot of Sakura fighting some chick and punching a wall and CRUMBLING IT. HELLO Sakura cannot crumble walls until PART 2. DO I SMELL A PART 2 HINT???
Hisashiburi Naruto & Sakura scenes. Another HINT at part 2??
:D

Ramen! I haven’t seen any ramen eating scenes in a while like this. I mean they may have showed the shop or like Naruto saying he wants some but I haven’t seen this in such a long time. This episode reminds me of the filler episode they made where Sakura took Naruto on a date and told him about Sasuke’s and Oro’s love affair.

Naruto in his sleeping gear. I missed this seriously. The only problem is in the shot before this it looked like his nose grew 2 times bigger. The best part is right after this screenshot when he falls on the floor. Naruto love!

Tsunade’s hair is DOWN! Seriously I’ve never seen her hair fully down. It’s always tied in those 2 pony tails. I’ve never actually seen Tsunade in her bed either. She’s always in that Hokage office (like she LIVES there).
Oh this is my favorite part. I like how in the first shot you see all the Chuunins, including Shikamaru off on the mission, and in the next scene Shikamaru is there because he says “he was left back to lead the Gennins”. Right. You think we wouldn’t notice! Foolish little animation staff!
INNER SAKURA! Hell Sakura period. I’ve seen more Hinata in these fillers than I can take! God where is the Sakura, she’s finally back and her seiyuu appears to be on track this time too. Brings back memories of when Sasuke said Sakura’s jutsu is worse than Naruto’s.
Here’s more screenshots from the movie:
Upcoming Attractions: Naruto gets questioned by ANBU. Oh yea I never did go into detail what this filler was about, oh well who cares. Some moron stole some scrolls, and some old man comitted suicide, yea.
And according to Manga Helpers the fillers are supposed to be ending!! Is it really true??
No tag for this post.

SAAAAAANCTUARYYYYY!
God I hope this stuff about the fillers ending is true. I have gone a year without my delicious shounen crap, and if this drought continues I may very well die.
Wow. I can’t believe that Naruto is three eps shy of two-oh-oh. I stopped watching at 107 but I somewhat kept an eye on the manga. To be honest, I’m actually anticipating the slightly grown-up Naruto. Or has it been already animated?
Ash> LMao if the fillers continue past 200 I may have to find their address and send hate mail
Ten> Nope, not animated, time skip naruto = HOTTTT D: so yea I’m anxiously awaiting myself and of course I have also been reading the manga =)
Lol, didn’t noticed Shikamaru over there while watching it
Now let’s wait how this ends and when thé real thing begins.
It could have been Shika’s dad in the first shot there. Thanks to the shitty quality it’s hard to tell.
It looks like Shikamaru like if you look @ the shirt under his vest.
I think before that scene there was another shot of Shikamaru even closer and it was totally him XD
lol, Yeah, thats Shika alright.. Anways, I’m going to take my chances and say that the fillers end at 200, and we’ll get to see the ALMIGHTY YONDAIME! Heh, hopefully they’ll make the aged Naruto look even better then he does in the manga.
oookay about the sakura crumbling the wall that was a scene from the movie >.
[...] So I finally got a chance to see the 3rd Naruto movie, and just like with the previous 2 Naruto movies, the “theme” and “plot” of the story is generally the same. Our heroes meet some random people they have to protect for a mission, it turns out more than they bargained for, they get beaten, then they fight back and in the end everybody learns some sort of valuable lesson. Never the less I enjoyed the movie and seeing the Naruto gang wearing some summer outfits for once was a perk for me. As mentioned in my previous post, a lot of things in this movie gave hints to the Shippuuden series (such as attacks/similar oufits) so it’s great to look back on this and go “THANK GOD THE FILLERS ARE OVER.” [...]
Cool web page i really like it!
i hope to see more of the pics later if i can lol well u can IM me if u want ttyl Ta for now!
isn’t that the dad of shikamaru? i think it’s not him on that scence with all the chuunins and stuff..
that sakura crumbling walls thing is not true. sakura has epic strength because of tsunade, because she ripped out the mass in the boat in one of there episodes
