Ok.. It's another one of those filler arcs again, but g-damn ITACHI SHINDEN IS ACTUALLY GOOD TT_TT

You might appreciate the uchiha's more (?)--- hahahhaaa depends on you :p

Although the uchiha massacre has already been shown in the anime a BILLION of times, i think the filler was able to expand the "watcher's experience". Instead of retelling the massacre in sasuke's or in a third person's pov, you'll finally get to watch and experience the same event with itachi's eyes.

itachi :(( he's been through a lot - I CANNOT EVEN TT_TT

Currently watching the Itachi series.. I think it's really good, especially since he is my favourite character from Naruto. I'm glad they didn't show the Itachi-killing-his-parents part (yet) because I think that scene has been recycled too many times in Naruto. Can't wait for the next episode of Itachi's Story.

For what purpose?

Because the 5 million filler episodes on him were not enough (/^^)/

i'm not interested in anything about naruto, as much as i love the series but i had enough from it, i'm just gonna watch 'the last' and 'boruto the movie'.

Oh yes finally I was searching for this novel for a while so hearing that this novel is getting an anime adaptation makes me really happy... :D

I'd be down for this, the antagonists and side characters in this anime were always more intriguing to me, so naturally Itachi is a favourite of mine.

Dec 21, 2015 2:45 AM by Bird

Itachi is my favorite villain, so I'll watch this, but please! Let this be after Shippuden! No more stalling.

Lets hope for a good and serious story, not random filler-like crap.

I don't know if I'm emotionally ready for this
