Edit: In case you are late to the party, here's what's up: We're getting a filler before the Hidan/Kakuzu Arc that will have bits & pieces of cannon material.

Original post:

The hour-long special this week will officially start the third part of the series with a new opening, and [hopefully] the introduction of Hidan & Kakuzu. That said, the Sasuke & Sai Arc is now over (to all you anime-only watchers, the last hour-long special was pretty much the end). Hard to believe this is the arc that ended when Shippuden first started.

Again, here's hoping for fast pacing this arc (or at least through half of it).
 
Minato just used those kunai to teleport to each enemy and quickly stab them, killing the whole enemy army in a "flash" hence his nickname. I do wish we could have seen it though.
 
Since I didn't get around to posting it in the last talkback: I actually enjoyed 51-52 overall. I don't mind flasrabroadacks to the original series for the most part - but I'm also biased because the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight is one of my favorite parts of the series - but it was the continual flasrabroadacks to things Sai said that really drove me nuts. But besides those, I actually thought the special was good. But I'm the uber Sasuke fangirl, so take that as you will

As for the new arc, let's hope things pick up (but we seem to say that a lot). I'm looking forward to a new opening since I really dislike "Distance" >
 
I think they're just saving it for another time unexpected

But for now, it's Filler-time!™

A little Sesshomaru and Rin moment there between Sasuke and Crazy Flower Girl (with acting skills so horrible I can see it, even with the language barrier)...
 
I've read the recent rumors about Kakashi Gaiden coming to anime form in July/August, I started to half believe in them to.

I think I just switched to fully believing in them now with these t-shirts here and here. U.S. t-shirts mind you.

they sure do like to plan ahead with the merchandise.
 
Minato was sort of like a basterd in this pair of episodes. He got to Major Kusanagi levels of ruthless. But that's what warriors do in a time of war.
 
As an hour-long special it was ok, but if you divide it into episodes, 51 was horrible. It took a whole episode from Sai sneaking up on Sasuke, to Sasuke's full appearance (quite a waste). However 52 is one of the best episodes we've had yet IMO.
 
Actually I felt that was fairly amusing, especially considering I kept wondering why Naruto didn't do the same thing in the manga.

That said we'll see how episode 56 turns out this week.
 
I'll agree with that. 52 was the episode that really blew me away (but Sasuke being around always makes me fangirl ). 51 wasn't horrible, IMO, but it was still meh. 52 being paired with it made it seem better in hinRABight, I suppose, since they get lumped together through the airing.
 
It was explicitly mentioned that she was very similar to Naruto in personality. So I kind of expect her to sound like a female version of him.
 
Well, it looks like we're going into more fillers. But it looks like this filler season is going to have a coherent storyline! I'm excited, but at the same time, I really hope they changed writers.

On a side note, the opening looks ridiculously awesome. The animation is just dopetastic. Also, apparently Shippuuden is being broadcast in widescreen now. Killer.

Which means Shikimaru loses the badass moment that's coming up.
That's it. Pierrot has screwed this series over. I really am enjoying just reading the manga, and Bleach is about to fall into this category.

I don't know who's in charge, but Pierrot has just been manhandeling the big series too much for my liking.

And yes, the constant 15-minute flasrabroadacks just watered down Asuma's death horribly. I know he had a few quick flasrabroadacks to when he first met the team originally, but damn, this series has a flasrabroadack obsession.
 
When we see Kushina in the manga though, she's pregnant and she's very nice, thoughtful, and pleasant . . . not at all like Naruto usually is. One imagines that Kushina matured with marriage and motherhood .

I still don't believe Kushina is dead either unless they explicitly say so.
 
Apparently, Kakashi’s Gaiden is going to be episode 119-120. Next up is ep 114. So it won't be long to our long awaited wish comes true at least.
