Pyrotoad posted:This means the dub is almost at the Three Tails arc! Hooray! I much preferred the previous filler arc about the elemental ninja right after the canon story introduced the rules of elements to Naruto (it seemed like the writers wanted to explore and flesh out that idea). That blossomed to a full-on assault of the Leaf Village and a freakin' zombie attack! The bubble jinchuriki arc was okay too because it was much shorter and to the point. Even the Konoha tales arc was fine because they were disposable short stories and some of them were pretty funny (and they used the old music!). No excuse for the Three Tails, though. Throw that in the garbage.

As usual episode 218 followed the pattern and was 10% canon 90% padding. And it looks like the next one will probably be that way too. At least they're trying with stuff actually happening that's relevant to the story and not "Naruto and Kakashi chase after Dederia for the 6th episode in a row using the same 10 or so frames of animation" or "a series of slow pans on Saskue after he reveals himself that lasts for 5 minutes".

This was an amazing episode. The animation quality was great, and it was completely ridiculous. It helps when Kakashi and Guy are the subject matter.

I would have rather had 15 episodes of this straight and have the canon at a good pace than all the stretching they did the last few episodes.

For those who have seen 219 regardomg Kakashi/Gai rivalary. Isn't Kakashi known to be plagued for his low chakra/stamina. Gai just seems to be the naturally more athletic one. Gai should be the faster runner .

In the latest episode, when they flashed back to the fight with Pain and Hinata, I actually felt some excitement. Then it went back to the regularly scheduled show. WHEN WILL THIS SHOW PICK UP THE PACE AGAIN?

Looks like we'll be dealt a slight stretch of filler coming up, though I can't say if it'll have canon material mixed in or not.

Juding by the episode titles, it's a filler arc about their adventures at sea. I'm hoping they won't mix in any main story so that I can skip it completely.

Hmmm if both seriously injured and under my care at the same time, do I save my best friend and hero who saved our people and holder of our tailed beast or the guy who is actively trying to kill us all and just tried to kill me? What a bizarrely specific and not-foreshadowing-at-all dilemma for our heroine to ponder! I really want to know what was in that last coffin. My brother suggested it might be the sage of the six paths or his sharingan son because what else could make Madara react like that

What a bizarrely specific and not-foreshadowing-at-all dilemma for our heroine to ponder! It's filler. Technically proper triage would be to heal the guy who doesn't have a regeneration factor due to being a demon container. But mostly it's just anime made up filler, so It's not really foreshadowing anything

uG posted:Why would Madara think Kabuto is a mad man for resurrecting The Sage? At this point the sage is just another guy with a rinnegan, so what if he was the first? The Sage was definitely a hell of a lot more powerful. Pain's chibaku tensei was a pretty big chunk of rock but the Sage made one this size of the moon (I'm gonna go ahead and assume he did make the moon). He was also strong enough to be the jinchuuriki for the juubi and that's what Madara so desperately wants to resurrect.

I get the distinct impression that it isn't the powerfulness of the person Kabuto resurrected, but rather the fact that it's someone that has a specific ability that fucks over Madara. I.e. Madara's secret weakness. Who knows what that could be...

People have been guessing that it was the real Madara and that Tobi isn't the real Madara and/or Tobi doesn't have Madara's body anymore and the real body got rezzed.

I kinda think Kabuto sacrificed himself to summon himself back with edo tensei. It would at least explain why he can summon so many zombies (because of unlimited Edo Tensei stamina), and gives a good reason for Madara being freaked out by the mystery casket.

-Blackadder- posted:Just out of curiosity has the last coffin member been revealed in the manga yet? Not yet. In fact, it's barely been mentioned since then, I think. Airdates to August 25th: 223 "The Young Man and the Sea" 224 "The Merchant Ninja of Venice" 225 "The Cursed Ghost Ship" 226 "Battleship Island" Set sail for filler! As for the dub, Yukimaru's voice isn't too bad; he sounds a little less cute, a little more ... eerie though. Certainly nails the 'home is where someone thinks of you ' schtik to a tee. Guren's VA is also really good.
