If you all have the time to ridicule people’s work instead of enjoying it for what it repesents, your seriously out of reality’s touch. Naruto’s main idea is to be able to conquer your problems in life (3D) seen through a 2D lens. For all your ridicule, i’ll bet that none of you have the guts to create a story like Naruto or leave such a legacy that Kishimoto will be remembered for, unlike those who critize and are quickly forgotten.

At least the new widescreen format (and somewhat better animation quality, or so it seems on the surface) may be an indication that they’re trying to improve things rather than dive into endless fillers that irritate everyone. ‘Benefit of the doubt’ mode complete. Ep 53 (minus flashbacks) had at least some relevance in Sai character building, and 54 a nice comedic ’short-fuse Sakura’ transition.

The video at the begnning of 54 was a bit too much for my poor old machine to render, so NOW I guess I need to get a dual core.

(sabrina) “new fillers are a way of giving time to reformat the show and hope that future episodes move at a faster pace”

ack on that - My impression from the new format and better animation suggests maybe BETTER director/direction as well? One can only hope!

As for ‘FFC’ - I didn’t see very many Konoha ninja in there.. just Asuma’s team… and the “team Orochimaru” cameo if you count them. FFCs indeed. Opening music isn’t as good either. Ah, well. Not all change is for the better.

“alternative mangas of them at school” ?? details please!

Fillers incoming! I had to rewatch the new OP three times because I was so shocked to see FFCs (nice acronym) I had to convince myself I wasn’t imagining it. Not only are they doing a huge filler arc that will probably last until fall (or why put it in the OP), but they never even animated the Kakashi Gaiden manga chapters where Kakashi gets the Sharingan! They were already barely animating 1 manga chapter per episode… vs Part 1 where it was a good 2.5 chapters per episode and even there they had tons and tons of flashbacks. If they start adding filler arcs and do *not* speed up the official storyline … *brain explodes*

I have to admit I enjoyed this episode. It’s the first time I’ve laughed while watching Naruto since that onbaa filler episode (#185, it was dumb, but made me laugh). The preview suggests they are going to have some Naruto training… followed by filler?

It’s almost like I only watch it to ridicule it. If next week’s Naruto manga is about how Itachi was really a good guy, it’s over.

I feel you’re pain.

Hopefully something good with start to happen; but honestly I’m not holding my breath.

My inner fangirl wants to think that the new fillers are a way of giving time to reformat the show and hope that future episodes move at a faster pace; but my common sense says that there would be no need for fillers at all; they could just cut the crap.

I hate common sense some times.

May be because some people like seeing themeven if its in the o.p…

The same people who did kamichama karin should have been doing this… seeing SD type naruto characters would be amusing..

Sigh. Well at least thanks for your patience Hinano! It would’ve been super easy just to drop the whole thing…hopefully we don’t have to wait too long to see “something worth blogging about.”

Damn you Narutoooooooo…..I’m still recovering from the LAST filler arc (series?)

dick> thats what I’m saying!! Why is it the filler chars are always stupid and ugly. They have so much better things they can work with but instead they pull this crap again
