I haven't been watching the show at all, but I did do some checking on wikipedia. Looks like we're in filler town until the end of the year at least. I do believe it will pick up again once the new year starts, but there is no definite answer yet.

Today's episode is worth watching solely for the white fluffy cat ears that Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto and Itachi wear to speak to the cats.

Also Sasuke was a little brat back then. PI would have a field day with him.

:swoon: So many kitties!

Skipped the last episode with the bird, and this is reason enough to skip watching this episode too.

I hate to say it gang, but it looks like the filler is going to continue into january. Going by the latest wikipedia episode titles, it might come back at the end of that month, but who knows.

:siren:Something interesting!:siren:

edit: *Link removed for spoilers I didn't catch before; sorry guys! Search Sage Naruto vs Sasuke (Naruto Shippuden OVA) on youtube if you really want to see it*

Quote/Spoilers within: This Naruto Shippuden OVA (Original Video Animation) was given to the first 5,000 people who bought a newly released Naruto T-Shirt. The OVA, which is 6 minutes in total, shows glimpses of Naruto and Sasuke having what could be their final fight (however, if you read the manga, this is not very likely) whilst showing flashbacks of everything they have been through. This is all set to the music track that's going to be the new ending theme of Naruto Shippuden.

I love the animation in this, I have to say.

Christ, that OAV. That animation. That touch!

No idea what that creepy rear end ending was all about, though.

Shame about the series, too. Popped in to see if the filler hell was over yet and... yeah, at least I got to see the OAV stuff. Which is a total shame, because I think Diver's an amazing fuckin' OP. It deserves better episodes being put behind it.

The preview for that episode suggests an animation budget that should be saved for canon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Yf-lliWlw

No spoiler tags because it's freaking filler. It also looks like an attempt to shill Sasuke if the smirking from Naruto is anything to go by - look guys they learned teamwork so they were totally best friends :downs: (even though they were only on the same team for what, three months before Sasuke left?)

193 is a waste of time; moreso, at least. Even if you like filler, skip it.

Sadly, this show has sort of become a weekly tradition of sorts for me such that I'd probably still continue watching it even if every episode from here on out was a pee rainbow episode. It's kind of weird being nostalgic for something that you never really got away from, but there you go. At least they're using some of the old school music again that I've missed.

This, and also because while I'm not a fan of Sasuke, I DO love his voice actor so that gets me through the fillers. Noriaki Sugiyama :swoon: (apparently voted best male tsundere voice in anime - don't know what that says about Sasuke but whatever.)

It looks like it might go up to the end of this month. That would make it about 20 episodes of filler. God willing that will be the end of it.

I have to admit, if all of Sasuke attacks from this point onward were all "Sasuke Punch" or "Sasuke Kick" or "Sasuke Fireball," I'd forgive the character for a lot of poo poo. Because that's hilarious.

Quick question:

I've taken a few years off of Naruto, and things look like they've gotten quite better from Narutopedia (I got bored with the show in the middle of the Sasuke and Sai arc, pacing was too slow). I'm just wondering, should I start with the Hidan and Kakuzu Arc, or should I skip to the Itachi Pusuit Arc?

Definitely watch the Hidan and Kakuzu arc. All the arcs from the Sai arc on are good to great.

Every arc but the filler right? I was planning on skipping all the filler, but is any of it actually worth a drat? (reading the last couple pages of this thread, I'm guessing no)

Watch everything but the filler aye. You've put me in the mood to watch team Shikimaru VS Hidan/Kakazu again. I think that's easily one of the best fight sequences in the entire series with bonus awesome music.
