Loved it.

From Naruto playing whack-a-mole with Pain, to his silly expressions throughout.

Didin't like the new style. It's like it was made by the creators of FLCL. Very grotesque and not-Narutoish. The filler part of the fight was also too much overboard.

What was up with this weird animation of pain's face and him running around like a cartoon character in the water ? XD Otherwise, naruto going 8 tails was epic Oo Looks like the animation will be back to normal next week ( thank goodness )

The last part of this episode was one of the best so far! (except itachi's and sasuke's fight and last moments)
Anyway, next episode is last of the season? hopefully a double episode?

i didnt like the animation and the fight either :S

This episode reminded me of the fight between Naruto and Sasuke when Sasuke went to Ochimaru.
Past few episodes where all amazing and now the 4th hokage appears in front of him.
Can't wait till next week!

i really appreciate the idea that they've added stuff which wasn't in manga..it made the atmosphere more epic... and yeah to all shit-talkers out here..the animation was super nice...it just seemed blur cause they've wanted to show the speed of the battle..)

Man, that was horrible. First part of it...look at these two moments: 4:17 and 14:20 and try to figure out what I think about it
But scenes with inner Naruto where awesome, this music and Yondaime...gorgeous.

Aversa: there is no episode next week

cmon dont see everything with the "judgemental eyes" of yours! Theyre finally trying sth new and different, cant you just let it be?
Or do you like watching the same art and animations for 5-6 years?

I loved it. Tho the animation style was really wierd for the first time in naruto. Never seen anything close to this. I loved some of the pain/nagato facial expresions but some where kinda bad. Even with the barely decent filler fight im gonna give it 5/5

After watching this episode it kinda reminded me of improved version of Shoka

Oh my god! Why do they allways f** up the best moments from the manga and give them shitty animation? First thing i thought when I saw this episode was: "this made someone up, its not the real episode..." They did the same thing with the episode where naruto got 4 tails on the bridge but even that was better than this. God spoke.

Really they could do in many ways, no wonder I am dissapointed if they choosed the worst way to animate this...Pain looks for me as a doll in this episode, his face expression are strange, his movement is terrible... They were making detailed fillers, but episodes connected to main line of story were made so bad...

I don't mind as long as they try to make sth new that looks nice... ahh and i don't have "judgemental eyes", i just couldn't help but to express my dissapointment

well at least no more "jitensha ending"

The thing is, new and different isn't always good (like in this case) and besides that, they shouldn't try something new in an important episode like this.

This episode was so terrible, the manga was way better. short and sweet.

this episode made pain look like a ragdoll on crack

ninetails laser beams=star wars

and huge lake from underneath konoha? wtf!? bad bad bad decision by the production company. forcing new enviroments out of fucking no where.

and then minato coming to see naruto, after the star wars parody...its begging for "Naruto, im your father."... "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

just so bad. especially pain on the wack a mole and head stuck out of ground "do you feel pain". jesus, gd moment ruined.

only redeeming part was minato saving naruto. but even that was downplayed by the parody which i couldn't forget, during one of the most epic scenes.

What the hell?!?! Fair enough they want to try out different styles but they clearly haven't got this style down, and this point in the story is not the place to practice.

Rodreth said:

Actually, yes I do, Naruto has it's own style of animation & character design and they should keep to that, it's one thing to develop the style gradually but this!?!?!?

This isn't a Tatami Galaxy kind of show or a SHAFT anime or anything like that, it's a pretty standard (occasionally great) shounen and it would be nice to be able to actually see the characters fighting.
You're right that it's interesting when shows mix up the visual style but this isn't really that kind of show and this definitely isn't the way.

I was thinking that this didn't really seem like what you'd expect from the Kyuubi's power - now I know why.

Yes!!! I hated that too, it's like they don't have any understanding of the Kyuubi at all!

Loved it when Yondaime showed up! Just when I was beginning to lose hope!!!! Man this show really knows how to annoy me, it pushes me to the brink of dropping it & then brings me right back, time after time.

It's my place to return to!

Complaining aside is it me or have the recent episodes of Shippuuden have been a mashup of the following:

Looney toons/Tex Avery
The Pain wack a mole stuff

Dragonball
The giant monkey that Goku turns into until his tail is removed.

Dragonball Z
Powerups... endless powerups.

And lack of detail in fights. Oh, and the location of the fight (why are they always in the desert in DBZ?)

Star Wars

Well yeah.
It kinda breaks my sense of logic. It's ok in the manga tho.

Damn, I waited for this episode so fired up and they gave me "this". I feel really disappointed :(. The ending is good but it does not cover up for the rest of the bad ep.

I agree... I was like... uh.... wtf he nailed him to the ground and yet he still lives... wtf? i mean naruto killed the first pain just by smashing him to the ground... and that pain easily died from that hit...

WHAT. THE. FUCK!?

I've allways disliked the wierdly animated episode in the Naruto vs Sasuke fight. But this is on a whole other level. How fucking hard can it be to just animate it normally, and not some crappy random cartoonstyle <(-.-')>

Also, where the fuck did all that water come from?! A little filler is fine, but completely remaking the entire fight and change the geography is something I have very serious problems with.

Most dissapointing episode of any anime I've seen for the last 2 years...
