THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So, just finished watching this and I thought it was preaty good. At first I really didnt know what it was, I just saw this torrent on nyaa and thought I would download. The story was preaty good dating back to the Team 7 days and revolves somewhat around Sasuke. Overall it was decent but the whole thing being in CG was alittle weird.

Yeah CG was a little weird.. But it looked really good in some parts. I liked it. It was refreshing to see something new. Based mainly on Sasuke. I love him so I had no problem with it. :)

Sasuke and
at the end.. Kinda seems like a spoiler for those who haven read the manga.. Or arent caught up..

have to agree with that, it did come out of nowhere, so it was a flashback?
and we got to see the harem jutsu again, and it worked!

Quite an unusual little episode there. I quite enjoyed the nostalgic aspects of it in 3D.

The end scene was a little "wooahh, what's going on here?!" kind of moment. I can only speculate that it kind of relates to the stuff in Shippuuden atm.

Harem jutsu FTW!

That was a nice trip down memory lane. It was cool to hear the old soundtrack again, and the CG was pretty good too. I also thought the designs on the Fish/Koi shinobi were well done.

Yeah, ten years is loooong. When I told my other friends who also like Naruto, they didn't believe me. And, yeah, the harem jutsu made me laugh. Especially when it worked for a change XD

Nice to see the characters the way they were at the beginning. Brings back memories. And the music and ending song as well. Though it seemed that the bit after the credits was kind of out of place. I mean, looking at when it was aired, it made a pretty big giveaway, didn't it? I mean, for the people who haven't read the manga. And it kind of spoiled it a bit for me after that nostalgic episode (seen all the eps and read all the manga so far).

They could've made somthing a bit more enjoyable for Naruto's 10th anniversary. This just felt like a random filler mission with ugly CG animation.

In fact, the only reason for me to watch this special was the fact that the filler persons seiyuu is the same as Takasugi in Gintama xD (which i like to listen very much) :P

Story was set between Haku arc and Chuunin exams arc, but it didnt feel like it. Random action showed in 3D.
Yeah, the fact of watching Naruto in 3D made me laugh by the time i watched it. I've watched it with my sister and our comments was like "Look, Naruto in 3D" and every other thing that appeared on the screen was "Look, thats 3D". Yeah, we had fun xD

But it felt as a game, rly.

Lol, a thousand years of death and still the best when Naruto or Kakashi use it.
The battle isnt that "woah" thing, but the graphics is like playing a console.

I dont remember Sasuke and Ouch together even in the manga..??

Aside from the facial expressions being a bit stiff, this was most excellent. A trip down memory lane; a flashback to when Naruto and Sasuke fought together, Sakura needed protecting and Orochimaru was the main villain. Did the 10th anniversary justice.

Orochimaru re-entering his body as a small snake was just a tiny bit spoilerish, mind. Even without reading further, I can now guess the shot of the snake slithering away from the Sasuke vs. Itachi fight meaning Orochimaru lives.

Same here. ^^ I don't like this kind of animation, it feels really "unnatural"...especially moving scenes.

An average OVA. The usual Ninja mission with the same hostage and rescue scenario.. a rare team up combo with Naruto and Sasuke fighting on the same side. The 3D-ish animation wasn't to my liking.. They were a bit stiff and sorta felt like a computer game.. I still would pick the normal hand drawn original type of animation any day!
A sidenote.. watch till the end of the credits.. i nearly missed it myself haha.. somehow it connects the OVA to the present storyline in Shippuuden.

That is wrong :p That little white snake coming out after Itachi seals Orochimaru away is later on caught into the black flames of Amaterasu and dies. Which kinda makes the whole little snake scene pretty useless, aside for giving you the chill of thinking Itachi might have sacrificed himself in vain if he couldn't even seal the snakes. But... Itachi totally owned Oro there. Moar love for this awesome character plz :X

So, Naruto in 3d. Why not ? It's nice to see the team 7 once again. The scene takes place after the event of the Land of Waves but it's actually a flashback of Sasuke after he joins Akatsuki. The principal point of this OAV is the 3d, the scenario doesn't matter after all. And I think it's successful.

Why, just why. I wasn't expecting a CG. Well, it's not that bad. CG Harem no Jutsu isn't that bad :3
Of course, Orochimaru is behind it. The dude is everywhere.
Yeah, why the hell did they show that at the end?? That's a spoiler!! Good thing is that I already know that.
Well, on to the next special/OVA.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. This special was released when the fight between
was happening, that is, much earlier than the fight between
and certainly much earlier than

That's so weird....

Anyway, this special was actually very fun to watch, as it showed some of the most hillarious jutsus (like Oiroke no Jutsu, Harem no Jutsu and that Katashi jutsu which consists of thrusting your finger in your foe's ass LOL) and some nice 3D action
