Yeah next week looks like it has some smooth animation in it. This week was a good episode, moving the plot right along. God I am really annoyed with that ED. Also, just read the plot for the next shippuden movie, coming out in July. It sounds kind of awesome, actually. Assigned on a mission to capture Mukade, a missing-nin, Naruto Uzumaki sets out for the once glorious historic ruins of "Ouran", where he pursues and corners the rogue ninja. Mizukade’s goal is revealed to be a dormant leyline within the ruins; he unleashes the power of the leyline, causing a light to envelop Naruto, sending him into the past, 20 years before the series began. When Naruto awakens, he comes into contact with his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

If you've read ahead in the manga, don't even hint about what is coming next. This is where poo poo gets really nuts.

I felt they padded today's episode a little too much, (next episode spoiler)I was hoping hinata would show up by the end of this episode, now it looks like after she shows up won't happen until the very end of next week's episode

On the other hand, looks like they spent a bit more of the animation budget on the next ep, so hopefully there will be some good fight-padding. Odd timing for it though, with all that's going on.

Oh jesus christ. I didn't think it would be this sad. The animation was awesome, it especially fits Hinata's fighting style and made it look amazing. God I'm just going to weep in a corner now. Even the after credits part made me baww

Way to make an extremely sad chapter even sadder, anime team. I'm glad she wasn't made to look quite so weak as in the manga, still doesn't stop it from being a huge bummer.

Wow, the extra little bits added to this episode were perfect and the animation of the twin lion fist was every bit as awesome as I was hoping it would be.

There were some nice bits of animation, but does the bulk of the fight really have to look like this.

If you want really fluid animation a lot of the times that is how it's going to look. At least with anime. When shows go for the fast paced fluid action, they use a lot less linework in their frames because they're drawing more overall frames. It used to bug the hell out of me when I first saw it but now I like it with a couple exceptions.

I thought the animation as fine and don't know what you're all complaining about. The bigger crime here was the dialogue. It felt even more mindnumbingly bad than in the manga for some reason.

I was referring more to Pain going on and on and on about peace. It was really lovely in the manga and even shittier in the anime.

Alright so I'm up to date with the anime and I'm torn on whether or not to read ahead in the manga. I like being surprised but the anime sometimes drags thing on like that ridiculous 100 episodes of filler from the first series. Just wondering if anyone has done so or would care to give advice about spoiling the anime by reading ahead in the manga.

See this is the high point for a while. Then it gets bad. Then it starts to get good again. Wait until it's bad to read ahead.

That ep handled things far better than the manga, I wonder if they will think to (manga spoiler)remove the indications that Hinata is still alive, since it's moot anyway.

The part where the audio goes out and Pain pulls Hinata up into the air, then down with a boom, then without audio again and stabs her all to a shocked faced Naruto was the best part. Probably one of the most intense scenes in the entire show.

That was loving amazing. I don't guess next episode is going to be done with that animation style as well? Big fights are pretty much wasted if they aren't animated fluidly like that.

Her death was so quick and padded out with flash backs and back story that her fight scene felt really underwhelming. I was hoping to see how her fighting style has developed. That won't be happening now.

Seriously, this is making it very hard for me not to jump ahead via the manga - I've never actually found myself anticipating a new Naruto episode as much as this arc has made me.

I always thought this was some silly cartoon for nine-year-olds, but then my old roommate who was actually a pretty cool/normal person said he watches this regularly. So now I'm curious. Which do I start watching? Naruto or Naruto Shippuuden? What's the difference? Or is the manga better?

Naruto comes before Naruto Shippuuden, so if you watch the anime, start there up until around episode 135 when it turns into a big long run of filler, which is material not covered in the manga. Come back for the last episode of Naruto then jump over to Shippuuden. After watching the first Wave Country arc of Naruto, jump over and read the corresponding manga. If you like how the anime portrayed those events more, stick with the anime. Just note that Kishimoto gets better as an artist over time. Feel free to use the Naruto wiki or Leafninja.com (my site, which I tend to neglect updating) if you have any questions or want to read more. I try to spoiler flag things on my site, so you can read info without getting wrecked.

Safe and Secure! posted:I always thought this was some silly cartoon for nine-year-olds, but then my old roommate who was actually a pretty cool/normal person said he watches this regularly. This is not a straightforward question, I'm afraid. Off the bat, don't start with Shippuuden, you won't know what's going on or who anyone is. I would probably read the manga in it's entirety and watch the anime selectively. The anime has lots of filler material (I think about half the second episode is filler) which is pretty dire much of the time, though maybe there are some watchable arcs out there. At the same time, it has some superbly animated fights, and occasionally embellishes well on the source material, extending fights or showing ones that occurred "off screen" in the manga. Perhaps watch the anime of as long as you wish, if you feel it's slowing down, switch to the manga. Maybe just start both and get a feel for how you wish to proceed. Sorry if any of this seems patronising, I'm assuming you have no prior knowledge of ongoing anime. Edit: ^^^ that's pretty sound advice, though I would say you should probably be good to watch the first year's worth of anime. You don't want to miss the fight at around 48 (not sure about the number, folks will know what I mean)

Just read the manga unless you hate reading manga or something. The only really good parts of the anime are the most important fights, because they have actual animation budgets.
