I think I should download the first episode...

Those that don't read the manga scanlations, wouldn't it confuse them by putting the sasuke scene right on the first episode...oh well, at least Naruto non-filler is back.
Btw, the game for Wii was also released, Famitsu didn't give it a nice score, below 30 I think.

I loved the little interstitials where they showed how the characters have grown and changed. It's amazing how tall Naruto is now!
I also loved when Konohamaru showed Naruto the sexy jutsu then Naruto's like "I'm a grown up now, I don't do such techniques anymore...BECAUSE I HAVE MORE PERVERTED TRICKS!". Sakura's reaction was priceless.
It was also great seeing Jiraiya again. I don't know why but he's one of my favorite characters in the series.
So yeah, I hope this is a great continuation to an awesome series. The first episode shows a lot of promise and can't wait to see what happens next, although I feel like calling this Naruto Z, since this is basically a second version of the series (at least to me it is...).

I'm sure you've all realized that the new Sannin's are going to be the old Team 7, and they're all training, or have trained under the person they are going to be like. Jiraiya even made mention of it again, when Sakura punched Naruto, "That strength, and that temper, she's just like Tsunade."
Anyway, it was a good start again to the main story, I really can't wait for the anime to be where the manga is, Ransengan Shuriken!!! there are some good things happening in between the two points, like meeting some other fav characters like Neji, and Hinata.

I think it was a great episode, even though I didn't like the Sasuke scene being shown so early it was still pretty cool to watch it.
If they don't use too many filler episodes we are in for a treat, I'm talking about the fights of course.

The worse part about it is that it's necessary to keep the anime and manga seperated since often times an episode of anime covers 2 - 2.5 chapters of manga.

but since I read the manga, I'll wait until they get to the interesting parts Akatsuki fights

I assumed the Sasuke scene was placed in the intro because according to the most recent character poll in Japan he is the most popular character and he has been absent from the program for so long. It was a dramatic start and really pumped up the tempo of an episode which otherwise was pretty suspense free.

That was hinted in one of the old Naruto artwork pieces, the one where they show team 7 holding an animal (Naruto a frog, Sakura a slug and Sasuke a snake).
I noticed that during the Tsunade story arc.

Did you guys catch the third episode? I just watched it and it was great. I loved how the whole episode was like a set back to the beginning of the series. Sakura kicks ass now! And Naruto has gotten smart too!
Now this is the progression I've been dying for!

Fuuton Rasengan Shuiriken , seriously.
But anyway, the part in the first episode with Sasuke talking to the Kyubi was definately un-necessary. It could've stopped there. That's basically the end of their confrontation anyway.
There needs to be a manga thread.

Overall though I wish the filler would have gone through some of that training the 2.5 years was suppose to had happened. Also There all still doing pretty much the same moves they did before. At the beginning of the series there was some basic Ninjutsu that everyone could do. Later on though everyone was hyper specialized and seem to have totally forgot those other moves or moves from a different school.
Though in the end I still vastly prefer the Hinata episodes and the light-hearted episodes. The serious episodes that have been the start of this "series" are better then the previous filler ones and the one towards the end of the non-filler material before.

Good episode, I liked how they were able to defeat Kakashi at the end :p .

You know what the Bad thing is about these though. I've read though at least this much of the Manga and in my mind I don't remember Manga I remember Anime, color the whole bit. So while I never actually "saw" these episodes before I get a true sense of Deja Vu because I'm remembering the Manga which I remember like an Anime.
Post by: Caliban on March 04, 2007, 12:33:03 PM
I would wish they would animate the Kakashi gaiden, but alas it might become a special filler when they need to fill in with filler.
