Naruto Shippuden Season/Arc 3 Talkback (spoilers)

I don't know if I would call it the best Naruto opening but it's defintley a whole lot better then the last one. Lots of interesting action scenes, nice transitions between the past to the present, and even well done group shots. I still haven't been sold on the song yet but it's defintley not one I'd turn away from either unlike some of the other Shippuden intros.

As for the actual 130 episode itself, pretty good. I was hoping they would of extended the Konan battle and show more of what she can do then just Jiraya soaking her in oil.

I mean Konan's going to get shorted out of enough battles and you still can't make her opening one more dramatic?

But the animation was defintley nice and this defintley fit the manga's pacing well between Jiraya finding out more about Pain, the conversation he had with the toad on Naruto, discovering Konan and Nagato were still alive and the ending with the giant Toad facing Nagato's summon. Defintley some good stuff since as stated the only downside to me is the whole Konan battle being so short. Then again that's the manga's fault, not the anime's.
 
Wow, FLOW does it again, and between the music and the animation, it more than makes up for the fail that was the last opening. I may just start watching Naruto Shippuden again just for that. Well, it's more likely that I'll just watch that every week.
 
Wow...I know very well I made a big deal of how awesome Blue bird v2 was but... really my response for this opening was "The awesome part of Naruto...IS THAT YOU!!?!?!? HOLY!!!!"

Jiraya gets the awesome opening end fight scene and the opening was so awesome yet so dang sad.

Looks like Naruto is going straight forward with no filler in sight, or not at least until
The end of Naruto vs Pain
but filler can't even be placed after that so, no more filler in Naruto?
 
I highly doubt that. They could get later filler episodes to focus on characters who aren't around or don't show up very often around the time the major battles get started.

Filler free Shippuden the rest of the way would be nice but it's probably impossible. Episodes cover 2-3 chapters at a time and they're bound to catch up to the manga once more.
 
It could be close. The end is in sight for the manga so if they plow full steam ahead the manga may juuust be done by the time they catch up.

I'd guess like one more Sanbi-length filler arc will do them for the rest of the series though.
 
Naruto looks like it's going to end soon as the final battle's being set up as we speak, so filler may not be necessary. But Kishimoto's found ways to keep the story going before so you never know. Lengthening a couple of the battles at the end of the current anime arc might be an easier way to do it than to add filler.

The OP's been uploaded to YouTube, but it's some mash-up of visuals from the ED sequence along with OP visuals. Quite frustrating. Why do the trolls do this to FLOW and not to whatstheirnames who did OP 5?
 
So uh...shouldn't we retitle this thread by now? It's a little out of date, and it'd probably be best to declare this is for the Japanese broadcast.
