| More slow paced nonsense and crap about Sai. But yeah, looks like next week will be good. |
| but i guess it was alright although i wan it to speed things faster >< but im glad sai straighten his thoughts out :D |
| I'm totally enjoying this new episode. It's getting close to battle time! |
 |
| Sasuke next episode. That is all. |
| this episode didnt suck quite as much as i thought it would. knew we'd only get a glimpse of sasuke this episode, and next week is an hour special. Normally hour specials are something to be celebrated in anime, but for NS that just means they can throw in even more time fillers and flashbacks and nobody will mind cause its an hour long episode, SOMETHING has to get accomplished. |
| An alright episode. Next week's 1 hour special seems good, though. |
| still ok to me. Sasuke in next week! |
    |
| The best thing about the entire episode was DB's title message. Oh well, looking forward to the "emotional special", lol |
 |
| Finally, Sasuke vs Naruto (i hope so) |

| Well, it was all rather predictable. As Sai was 'finishing' his childhood book, I muttered to myself: "It's probably them holding hands." And later, when they were flipping through the Bingo Book, I said: "Sasuke is probably in there." At any rate, I was expecting this episode to be absolutely dreadful. It certainly was not a good episode...extremely dull and boring. But it was tolerable unlike the last few episodes. |
 |
| Who would have guessed it would have taken 51 episodes to reach the Sasuke/Naruto reunion shown at the beginning of Shitpuuden? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| a little too slow, but Sai was adorable <3 At least there weren't annoying flashbacks this time, other than made-up ones of Sai and the Sui-chan lookalike ^^ Can't wait for Sasuke next week, whee~ |
 |
| Boring. That's pretty much the bottom line. Next week will probably be the same too actually. It always seems like "oh yeah, next week looks like it'll get better," but it never does. |

| Not as bad of an episode as I expected, but still poorly paced. Did Sakura REALLY need to ask what the black X's in Sai's assasination book meant? Honestly... Well, Sasuke's almost back, naturally everyone is gleeful. I'm sure everyone who's been complaining about how crappy this show has been will forget it once Sasuke shows off his emo-ness for all of us to enjoy again. Pierrot definitely will be, there may be consistent effort in the animation again. Whee... I'll stick with the show because it's not awful (although I do intend to start reading the manga again soon). I'm stubborn that way, I guess. |

| Looks like things are FINALLY starting to get more interesting. We get to see Sasuke and Naruto meet after 50 eps, and even the Ninja Academy Special Lecture wasn't a flashback of something we've already seen from before the 2 year jump.

     |
| Since when did they become able to sense eachother's chakra? Or is that something I just forgot? But seriously, *cough*bleach*cough*. The episode was crap like any other Shippuuden episode. But it wasnt as horrible as the last episode though. It seems I underestimated the character of Sai a little bit, but he's still shallow. |
 |

 |
| That was some good episode in some time. FINALLY next week we're gonna see what we first saw like a year ago in EP01.... :) |
| The only thing that is good is the last clip of Kakashi in ANBU cosplay. Hahah! Cosplay? LOL! ;p I'm looking forward to the manga now, not the anime. This is really light paced, how can they meet up with the manga with this pacing. I think I'm gonna drop this show. I can't stand watching a whole episode of just pure conversation. I think I'll just watch only the fighting episodes. But, that's not it. I'm not going to archive this show now. I'll watch and delete it after. This is crappy. Ouch! Also, I think I shouldn't download the original quality, but the encoded version since it will just be a waste of bandwidth if I'm just going to watch crappy episodes like this in a 170mb AVI file. |

Naruto, Sakura, and Sai had swallowed those seed things Yamato gave them. It was explained in a lame 10 minute explanation a few episodes back. How Orochimaru sensed Sai though was beyond me. It's about damn time they got to the reunion too. I'm starting to think Sakura is as dumb as Naruto, if not dumber, lately. |
 |
| gah it took 50 episodes to get to this point...man they drag things. well after the next epp it will slow down again, but it should be good... |
| I want all this to speed up already. I dislike how they stretch things so far as to add a whole minute of just nothing and air passing by rather than moving the story along. I can't blame them though, I'm still watching the episodes for some reason. At least finally we'll get to see some fighting ensue. |
| Typical Shipuuden yawnfest. |
| I don't know if i fell asleep while watching this episode...ah well i guess ill see it in the next episode. |
 |
| holy god finally we'll get an episode with some decent animation in it next week...these episodes fluctuate so infuriatingly much.. |
 |
| When Orochimaru attacked Naruto I knew he would use Kage Bunshin Jutsu- really this is grotesque- after 2 year training with Jiraya- still Kage Bunshin...He should have tried Sexy Jutsu as well... And I didnt get why they let Kabuto live... |
 |
CCZilla said: Well, Sasuke's almost back, naturally everyone is gleeful. Noooo, dump the selfabsorbed little prick in a pit, seal it for all time and all can live happily ever after. I'd so prefer to see Sai or ANY one in the team over having "Mr Revenge" as the central theme in the show. Riles me all the time tbh. |
 |
CCZilla said: Did Sakura REALLY need to ask what the black X's in Sai's assasination book meant? Honestly... How about the "Why is Sasuke on Sai's assassination list?" I also love it how Orochimaru goes off the kill Sai, naruto immediately says they have to do something to help, and then they sit around and talk about his book and his smile... Oh well, at least Sasuke is going to be back, maybe make things more interesting. |
| I wanna see 51&52!!! Sasuke!!! =D~~~ |
 |
| Is the new type of Rasengan is all that Naruto learnt from Ero Sennin? O.o His tactics on fight with Kabuto - kage bunshin - that tactic screw, and he did it again even with orochimaru who appears to be much more stronger than Kabuto O.o. |
| it was good i wuv the ending suspense!!!!! cant wait! |

radiantfire said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dang, that wasn't as enjoyable as I expected it to be. I'm definitely eager to watch next week's episode though. Looks like we'll finally get the confrontation. It was just too slow |
| Am I the only one who was reminded of Mizuki while looking at Sai's brother. It seems that character template has been recycled many times. =p FenixAiur (cross quoting from epiosde 49) said: Judging by the previews on this episode, it seems I was right! =DAsako said: Since the next episode is obviously going to be full with flashbacks about Sai, my guess is 51 or 52. If we actually get to see Sasuke on episode 50, it will be a last 10 seconds scene.Better than last episode, but still rather slow. Next ep sounds like it's going to be dialogue driven, too. Though I did guess right when Shippuuden started, take ~50 eps for them to get to Sasuke. We'll probably see him (properly) next episode, or in 51. |
 |
| The episodes are getting slightly faster and enjoyable. I can't wait to see the battle...the first NS episode got me so hyped and finally the moment is about to come :D! |
 |
| I am waaaay late on getting to this episode lol...but it was decent. I liked the back story for sai and I am glad that he finally has his memories back. I figured the picturein Sai's book was going to be them holding hands since he was drawn with his arm outstretched...but I never thought he would have a bingo book. Also, didn't think that it would have been Sasuke in the book...although I guess it makes more sense...but I thought they might find their own pictures. Oh well. Can't wait for the next episode either way. |

strik-9 said: I am waaaay late on getting to this episode lol...but it was decent. I liked the back story for sai and I am glad that he finally has his memories back. Yes, I agree with you~ I though this episode was okay, not great, but not that horrible. Jeez, I just want Sai to pieirce snakes into Sasuke... T___T |
| I liked it and I think the next episode will be great. |
 |
| Decent episode... a million times better than last week's snooze fest. The end kinda shocked me when Sasuke was in Sai's bingo book. I am super excited for the next episode. It is going to be one of those double episode shows, so a lot will probably happen. Sasuke and Naruto reunite...yahoo!! It has been a 3 years wait for them and a 150 episode wait for us. ^^ |
| HAHA, loved DB's message. x] |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| sai and his picture book |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Sai >< |
