Naruto ~ Shippuden: Episodes 8 & 9

Rating: 8.2/10

Impressions:

Even though Naruto at this point is still tedious and dragged out, this episode does have a slightly faster pace, covering some three chapters of the manga (though this is again a double episode). Also this is quite irrelevant, but I have to mention that I really like the scene of when Sakura was small, hiding behind someone’s legs. Knowing how Sakura usually looks like a man or worse, this nice little scene could well have been accidental, only an accident which turned out cute. xD Ah, if Sakura was actually cute, I might mike Naruto a lot more…hmm that does go to say my lack of interest in Naruto as well.

Since Shippuden started, Naruto has been quite boring for me, so I’m glad to see the pace picking up, and the story getting to a rather interesting part. There will be some pretty major fights to come, and I’m pretty keen on seeing the Sakura and old granny Chiyo combo. Speaking of Chiyo, I really like the two siblings. Their old habits are quite amusing, while it is also quite touching to see siblings together after who knows how many years. Naruto making his new jutsu will be very entertaining as well, but that won’t happen until way later. For now though, I just hope the pace picks up even more.

    Bah. I don’t think I’m going to enjoy watching Naruto develop his advanced technique. It was boring in the manga. It’ll be even worse with these super slow episodes. :(

    I saw till the last episode(12), and the pace defiantly gets better. it’s still doesn’t have the feel of the non-filer episodes of the past, but I think it’s getting better.
    I still don’t quite understand why the budged of the show is so low. naruto, is probably the most popular anime show in the world right now. they could have spend easily ten times the budge, and they would still have a lot of money left. maybe the saved the budged for the battles to come, but that’s not an excuse. the only reason why I think long running jump shows are inferior to 13-26 episodes shows, is because they are not consistent. you could have one week an awesome big budged episode, and a week later crappy low budge episode. I heard Kekkaishi is consistent, but I didn’t quite get to watch that show. I just want to see the battles ahead at least with the quality of episodes 133-134. anything other than that will be a disappointment.

    I for one Think Naruto shippuden is Awsome! … as for the people that think its slow and boring it my be true on the slow part but the fun is still to come if the Naruto was the same all the time then the Important parts would not stand out. And as for the manga it takes less effort to produce a manga then it does to produce a 200+ eps anime. The first 5 min of eps 1 (Shippuden) was prety good and i cant w8 to see when it has caught up to that point because the animation is realy good…dattebayo

    ps.. ill take Sakura, You can Take Erro-sennin in sexy no jutsu

    the anime is certainly getting to some exciting parts in the story, but unless the pace picks up and the quality improved, i would rather read the manga
