for every 100 epsidoe of naruto there will always be 1 or 2 episodes that has cheap ass animation… stifling on the budget

dangreg Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 12:54 pm

This is a very BAD Joke. Its seems like Dragon Ball and why could make Pain water? He could do only Shinra Tensei etc. He dont have elemental chakra. The entiry ep totally mess.

jeez that was the worst episode of naruto I’ve ever watched, the animation looks like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon or a homemade flash video. What with all this extra crap they’re adding in. Hinata’s episode was 20 minutes too long!

plainlazy Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 1:22 pm

nah they do it in this style of animation when theres a huge fight scene….rememeber when naruto and sasuke first fought….it was done like this :)

WoW so EPIC!

ooserginhoo Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 2:08 pm

I thought it was a pretty good episode. Yeah the animation needed some time getting used to. But teh animation was something to be expected. Because Naruto budget is just not that big. The have to choose between fast paced action or ”detailed artwork”. And in this instant they choose for fast past action.That’s why we get the the round twsited forms without a lot of detail, so they can concentrate the budget on the action.

lasleels Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 2:16 pm

I just read this episode’s chapter in the manga, and NONE of this battle is there, the manga goes like this: naruto transformes, crushed the necklace, pain does the first jutsu, then it explodes, then they go out of konoha, then pain does this last jutsu that put naruto under the rocks, that’s all, this battle most of it was a filler to extend the episode to get more money, i guess that’s why the animation was so bad, but anyway i saw in the preview the animation is better again :)

Snyser Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 2:16 pm

It’s funny cuz Pain’s head is banged lyk 4 tyms wid solid piece of ground, his eyes up “up” lyk a zombie’s N then imagine…. the most funny dialogue,
“Do u Hate Me?”
Ahaahaahaha! CLASSIC! (the bangin kinda reminded me of tom n jerry tho hehe! )

i think seriosly they should stick 2 something like this….i not highbudget but if u make ur own style…like this ep…u dont foucus and details just how fast and how well animated it is…somehow like soul eater no great details but one of the best animated animes for me

btw since i dont know when i doenload a ep from naruto…LOL

Xenepholes Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:31 pm

I felt like in DBZ. Sorry this is not what i want to see.
Same as Naruto vs Orochimaru very bad ep!
I hope the following will be better!

FlamingDogs Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:40 pm

@Xene
If you didn’t like the Naruto vs Oro fight that’s one thing but it was exactly like the manga, so that’s not the animators fault.

Volture Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:43 pm

What.. the fuck did I just watch? Did they try to do some sort of comedic act? What the hell was with 4-Tailed Naruto smashing Pain into the ground with a piece of rock like in the old cartoons?

Volture Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:47 pm

By the way guys, the animation itself was great. It’s just the very different style of animating that looks ‘weird’. Very psychadelic indeed.

gohasuke Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:51 pm

it’s the worst thing i saw in my life
i saw bleach – one piece – naruto
all of them has their bad days
but naruto take the lead
i was waiting for the new form of naruto after i saw ichigo new form
it’s the worst thing in all anime world
what the hell with this movments
the characters faces are watery
the fight sucks
the sixth tails look like a squirrel
the eight tails look like a rotten dog
i waste my life in this episode
i rather see someone SHIT than see this stupied episode

xxxxsharpie Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:55 pm

wtf… so apparently there’s no lag time in between Pain’s techniques. He’s a world class speed skater and a flying squirrel… if they wanted to tweak the animation style, they should of saved it for a filler battle and not something that along the main plot line. Super disappointed

xxxxsharpie Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 4:56 pm

Oh, and wtf is him getting turning into a whack-a-mole?!?!?!

Evosaurus Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 5:05 pm

Actually this is probably one of the best episodes for animation in awhile, it doesnt have any of those shots where the camera just pans in onto a completely static screen. There is constant action… I dont know whats worse, narutards thinking this is shitty quality or that you were expecting good quality. This also reminds me of birdy.. which is a good thing. Be grateful for what you have.

Volture Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 5:10 pm

Seriously, people. Like I said: just the style is very different, but this is actually great animation. The sky looked fucking great. The meteor rain looked fucking great. Almost all was in constant motion. You shouldn’t complain just because some heads look ‘watery’..

lovehane Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 5:29 pm

orinxephon Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 6:54 pm

that episode could have been great, but cheap animation and inconstancy in setting/perspective ruined it. you can tell the entire episode was done by a completely different studio, possible one from Korea.

orinxephon Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 7:02 pm

as for
“lovehane Says:

*speechless* it looks like watching Guren Langan….”

they mimicked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann animation style but didn’t have the quality control to get it right. for example some of the face shots within a few frames they go from normal to a salvador dali distortion where the eyes are draw awkwardly and mispositioned .

Volture Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 8:14 pm

@Pirate Skull: lol. Please get out, you 10-year old. You’re not even old enough to watch this show, fucktard. You’re probably too fucking blind to see and appreciate good art and animation. You’re completely retarded if you think this animation was bad. Like I said: it’s just way different than usual.

Danne89 Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 8:15 pm

Fucking whiners. This was a really well made episode.

“the eight tails look like a rotten dog”

That’s because foxes looks abit like dogs… And the ninetails was not complete so he had no fur yet.

AnewReturner Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 8:21 pm

I dont know whats so bad about the animation. It looks alittle different but it looks good to me.

HentaiKamen Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 8:33 pm

What a piece of shit episode…
Naruto quality keeps going downhill… Why can’t it be like Bleach? Naruto > Shitpooden.

It’s as if the animators all shoved their pencils up their buttholes and drew with their asses.

Awful filler fight. The rock chunks from the ground don’t look like rock OR ground. I don’t know what the fuck they look like. Rectangular (diarrhea coloured) shit maybe.

Pain getting nailed in the ground with a piece of fucking shit… facepalm
As if that wasn’t enough, all these retarded faces. Shitastic.

And years ago we thought the Sasuke X Naruto (valley of the end) fight was retarded because of the stupid faces Sasuke made… Now we long for the good old days.

Naruto anime is officially dead.

Visharr Says:

tracker233 Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 9:00 pm

just because they switched styles doesnt mean its bad, i havent seen an anime ep with more fast paced combat for ~16minutes than this naruto ep, ofc they have to switch the style for that

manos1234 Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 9:01 pm

it looks like if the filler parts were made in a rush

Nang Nghia An Tinh Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 9:05 pm

Some intense action for a real long while now, lets just enjoy it. Although there’s just a little change in jumping into a different “airspace” dinmension with shooting laser and meteors with Pain lying flat on the ground protecting himself with invisible shield. :)

Nang Nghia An Tinh Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 9:07 pm

I mean invisible air force shield

FlamingDogs Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 10:04 pm

@tracker233
Claymore, a 2007 anime, was able to make fast paced fight scenes beautifully fluid. The animators here were just lazy and inexperienced.

Zaturn Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 10:11 pm

wow….just wow, such bad animation. I stop to consider if this was a troll when I was watching this.

Skittle Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 10:49 pm

I like the animation. It’s refreshing. I don’t think it’s cheap at all, it’s just a different art style; ever since the Hinata ep anyway. I for one completely dig it. I also don’t think it’s as much a force field as it is just him keeping the repel-jutsu up. I hope they keep this style cause that was hella epic.

Volture Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 10:59 pm

I fucking laugh at the people thinking they’re cool by ranting about the AWESOME animation this week.

Wachrno Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 11:01 pm

hmmm from what i’ve read to make this kind of scenes they have to hire animators just for this episode because there just isn’t time enough.
what i think is that they should have waited at least one more weak to release this epi or maybe more so it could have a decent animation… just my opinion

alfredonm Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 11:36 pm

THIS EP WAS SO COOL, I REALLY LIKE IT.

biohazard96 Says:

I liked this episode, the extreme faces really made me lol :D

Zatch Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 11:46 pm

Oh no! Their faces look different when faced a ton of force! Time to rant on the internet about how much I hate it!

Seriously, a little realism is applied and you guys fly off the handle. It’s similar to how YouTube changed it’s layout and a majority of people (including myself) hated it. But now that time has passed, I got over it, and so will everybody else.

Nox Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 11:46 pm

Looks like they hired the initial animators from Birdy the Mighty. A candidate for re-release once the dvd comes out.

siahVasch Says:
July 1st, 2010 at 11:59 pm

dude this ep was totally weak,
like 100% pc-made, the characters looked funny, specially lord Pein.
n it didnt follow the manga exactly!
what the heck!?

MagicianOfFlame Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:23 am

OH~ MY GOD!
After I saw the animation on this I got a little disappointed but I could watch it.
then things kept getting worse and worse; flying kyuubi heads and giant hands along with Pein’s Water jutsu.
But after I saw Pein getting nailed like that ( Tom n Jerry?) I closed it and came here to see if this was a troll, I am 100% not joking I REALLY wish it is just a joke!

lasleels Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:43 am

i am not disappointed in the animation at all, i am disappointed at the filler shit they have to put in the episode to make it longer so that we have to wait longer so that they get more fucking money, i am tired of these buisness assholes, if they followed the manga exactly, the kyuubi didn’t fight pain like this, cuz this doesn’t makes sense, they keep convincing us that the kyuubi is that weak, actually if a kyuubi just touches you, your skin burns, it’s ridiculous, that;s why in the manga pain performed this last justsu when he realized he doesn’t stand a chance,..SIGH

lasleels Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:46 am

but dont worry, next episode, we all saw the preview right, the animation is back again thank goodness :)

ZeroLegacy0 Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 3:26 am

@ every narutard here
WTF is wrong with you? Do you really think that this animation is bad? You all obvoiusly need to learn something about animation production. The animation is broken up into different teams and most of them ARE in korea read the fucking credits dipshits. The team that did this episode is the animation team A, the highest quality team, they do the OP and ED also. This is not a change in style. Every time something important happens in the storyline they do the animation production. The characters are simplified for ultra fluid movement during fight scenes.
Go back and watch episode 131 when Jaraiya fights Pein as an example of high quality animation.
Then go back to episode 114 for an example poor quality low budget animation. Watch closly at the 10 minute mark You’ll even see Itachi disappear from view.
If you still don’t get it after that theres no hope for you.

I’m glad to see a few comments from people who actually relize the quality of this Episode.

Rashomon Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 4:13 am

@ZeroLegacy0
Seriously I couldn’t care less about animation production. I care about good episodes and this wasn’t one of those. Starting on a ridiculous filler fight where the animators didn’t consider important facts such as pain’s 5 sec delay between tecnics or added some realy awkward things such as a “kyubi’s lazer gun” or pain’s water jutsu. You can come up with any arguments you have to prove the episode had a good animation. But the truth is that it isn’t relevant, because from the negative feedback you can tell that the majority of this serie’s fans didn’t enjoy this important episode.
I admit this episode is original and highly more “artistic” than the other ones, but that doesn´t mean people will actually enjoy it more.

Zatch Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 5:45 am

@Rashoman
So, you to see scenes that you have already seen in the manga? If they only animated the scenes in the manga, then they would blow through the arc, and then guess what? Another Filler Arc will happen! So what would you rather have? A little step away from the manga to extend the arc, or a completely new arc that has nothing to do with the original story?

Zatch Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 5:47 am

Excuse my spelling on the first sentence, that was two ideas that didn’t match up. If I had to correct it, it would be “So, you only want to see scenes you’ve already seen before?”

@cao cao
You do realize that without manga naruto, bleach, one piece, and many other great animes wouldn’t exist right? You just lack the imaginative mind to enjoy manga, and what’s with the complaint about the animation. I mean, this is the animation team that did the sasuke & killer bee fight, pain & jiraiya fight, and all the naruto movies. Sure their style changed a little, but the quality is still the same.

Money1088 Says:

As for the animation, i love when they let this animator produce, to bad the next ep will have the animator from 164 and down

totally utterly disappointed what shitty animation all they are doing is skating with shitty faces. i thought its gonna be serious blast since its one of the main episodes i think they took a great hit of last recession thats y they compromised on animation & the hell is kyuubi actually hit the pain’s head with rock like hammer on screw

Yamashita Ren Etsuko Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 9:50 am

I think the animation is the best, I also like Naruto Vs Orochimaru episode ^_^

Remember, The Kyuubi has special power and so unbelieveable, human cant imagine their level like Naruto with his sage mode,then another Ninja dont seem to approach Him, So I think this a reason why the animation has changed.Good Working :D

The style of this episode showed about superbly fast of Kyubi and Pein. What a spectaculer Motion^^

Its Unique,not ugly animation,and every special episode like this,the mangaka/creator make a special scene too :)

I saw it with Notebook with FULL HD LCD n Maximum Volume. I fell astonishment,very proud about the quality :)

Remember the animation of this episode is unique not ugly(I remember about anime Katanagakari,
Some people said it has bad graphic n style,but I think its not bad but Unique n Cool Animation)

holy crap. i just saw some of the comments here and was i surprised! DO SOME OF YOU FUCKSHITS EVEN KNOW WHAT GOOD ANIMATION IS??? this is like, the best episode ever, yet some assclowns here think its crap??? seriously read the fucking credits, for fuck’s sake. for all of you thought this episode is absolutely epic: cheers! you guys have good taste in animation x)

even though I read the manga I just cannot stop watching the part where the fox comes ouf of the globe with only skin missing and roars, the music there is so epic too.
If you do not like the filler parts of the fight just skip them and see the juicy parts only.

I’m not much of a Naruto fan and I don’t care if you’re a die-hard fan of this series, but htis episode is the worse! I know the animation gets disorted when there is a fight scene, but the animation sucked ass even when they were standing still! I also know that they wanted to make it different from the manga, but that fight was utterly useless. I enjoyed this part quite a lot while reading the manga, but this episode was total crap. The fight didn’t impress me either. I think Jirajya’s (whatever the hell you spell his name)fight against pain seemed better even though they didn’t show that much stuff.

Yamashita Ren Etsuko Says:

Make a picture especially anime is difficult, so I really appreciate it dan honestly the animation is very good not crap or ugly, but its depend on you people to look this anime,

And for me,this anime its absolutely one of the best anime that i have ever seen in my life.

So Congratulation Naruto team^_^

I have my taste,other people have a different taste too,

I like anime,I like Japanese Culture,and I think there are truly bad animation out there,not Naruto,not because incidentally I love this anime,

And I saw a lot anime with Unique style,I love Katanagatari and Crayon Shincan,its not bad idea.

I love Japanese anime,so it would be good to see them in the future.

In essentials, The style of this anime episode is unique one and have somewhat unusual art^^ I still Love it untill Die :)

Please repair your language,its better to always appreciate masterpiece of all anime artist.

Because I also learn picturing,and i know its not easy :)

this episode is a masterpiece !!! constantly fighting throuhout the episode !!! i will surely wach this episode in large screen picture with my whole family !!! haters donot know the meaning of good fight !!!

i watch this episode 8 times !!! waiting for TAKA !!!!!!

Yamashita Ren Etsuko Says:
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:27 am

@imran_k12

Yup. its true, I agree with you Mr.Imran.

Naruto is the one of three shonen anime Jump Magazine from Japanese

Someday,this anime wil get legendary title like Dragon Ball.

I Like this anime, beside Bleach n One Piece. The firt time i see this anime its all about Legend of Ninja,

Surely,the atmosphere of fighting scene of this anime is absolutely in Critical Best Level^^

I always have a shock attack(amazed) in this storyline and fighting management, See Naruto defeat One of Akatsuki Member make me proud,cry,happy about Naruto,

This is grandeur of this anime^^

Then I think they make spesial edition for this episode with a special unique effect art.

But I surprised some people dont like it, they think if this volume looks like a cheap cartoon n crap.

I dont understand what are they thingking about, and all of my friend enjoyed this episode too.

I hope We all could appreciate and positive thingking in the future^^

Naruto is one of My Favourite Anime

yeah !!! only one thing i also donot understand is that why they hate this episode this much as they are the real naruto enemies !!! ok some secene at the start are not as good as they should be but they are blaming the whole episode !!!

i started watching naruto in 2008 and due to this anime i watch lots of other animes !!! its my top no.1 anime..
2nd is DBZ…

budi Says:
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:33 am

just because they switched styles doesnt mean its bad, i havent seen an anime ep with more fast paced combat for ~16minutes than this naruto ep, ofc they have to switch the style for that

gohasuke Says:
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:06 am

@imran_k12
ok let’s leave the “style” for a moment
even though like you said bleach they talk while the fight but utless when he show a fight to his main character he don’t mess it like that
when ichigo fight with the new hollow he was like a demon
ripping arm – slashing the chest – when he put his leg over the face
that’s SOMEONE become a nun-human fight
but naruto…….. hammer attack – battle field sutgun – water skiing – meteros
the fox inside him not a demon
he’s some guy how done alot of job
if that’s what you CALL a fight
i would rather watch someone talk and fight a minte than see someone making perviews for a jobs

@ gohasuke:
man they both are monster and they fight like monsters. Kyuubi is not a guy he is a demon !!! i prefer constantly fighting rather than talking and fight !!! its just that every himan being in the world are different from one another so they like different things !!! how good a episode will be someone will like it and someone will not !!! thats the answer of the questions guys !!! for me this episode is as epic as previous ones.

Damn, some of you guys really hate the animation for this episode.

If you don’t like the animation, then make one up yourself, since it seems your so confidence that you can do better.

Even if the animation looks watery or messed up, it really looks realistic, since “gravity” is in effect.

Drive a vehicle that travels almost at the speed of sound, and people will notice how your face will turn watery or start contouring.

The option that the animator could have made would be like DBZ, since that is how fast Naruto and Pain went in this episode.

Always remember that “haters will hate”, and have a nice day. :)

BuzaBardock Says:

READ THIS QUOTE!

ZeroLegacy0 Says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 3:26 am

@ every narutard here
WTF is wrong with you? Do you really think that this animation is bad? You all obvoiusly need to learn something about animation production. The animation is broken up into different teams and most of them ARE in korea read the fucking credits dipshits. The team that did this episode is the animation team A, the highest quality team, they do the OP and ED also. This is not a change in style. Every time something important happens in the storyline they do the animation production. The characters are simplified for ultra fluid movement during fight scenes.
Go back and watch episode 131 when Jaraiya fights Pein as an example of high quality animation.
Then go back to episode 114 for an example poor quality low budget animation. Watch closly at the 10 minute mark You’ll even see Itachi disappear from view.
If you still don’t get it after that theres no hope for you.

I’m glad to see a few comments from people who actually relize the quality of this Episode.

imran_k12 Says:
July 4th, 2010 at 3:59 pm

haha yo !! gohasuke remember well those animes which donot have action/adventure/comedy are the wrost animes ever. its good that after so much battle people laugh in the 167 episode !!! so this anime is a complete action,comedy and adventure anime !!!

and your welcome and i will hope u will follow my advice !!!

i too want to know the epic soundtrack that plays at the start & at the end of the scence !!!

imran_k12 Says:
July 4th, 2010 at 4:08 pm

you know that most people changed their mind after watching this episode many times like him !!!

someone said couple pages back that the fight in this episode wasn’t anything like a ninja fight, well duhh kyuubi ain’t no ninja, he’s a beast
it would be utterly ridiculous if naruto went kyuubi mode due to rage and just sat down and said “ok i’ll just calm down, count to 10, do a couple of kage-bunshins and beat him with rasengan”, the fight couldn’t possibly be anything like battle between ninjas and animators tried to present that

ok the tendo face going pudding-mode was a bit off according to me, and animation is different compared to previous all episodes but i still have no objection against it at all, episode was pure action without flashbacks (like gaara and naruto fight) and i liked it

nagato practically controls life and death so tendo receiving all that punishment and being braught back isn’t surprising, he did braught back to life those two bodies that were pierced by jiraiya with those pretty darn big @$$ blades
i think you all who complaint about endurance of pain bodies underestimate rinnegan

and pein bodies are dead already, they don’t feel pain and even if they did nagato still wouldn’t feel it, so their neck and all being broken doesn’t mean anything ‘cos they don’t move on their own they’re moved by those black rods which nagato can freely create, and rasengan is on a completely different lvl from physical attacks it f****s up you inside
Spoiler:
and naruto removed piercings from yahiko after he mash potatoed him up with rasengan

all in all i love this ep. all the rampaging and stuff and i agree even when i was first watching i thought “dragon ball style fight”
and i don’t mind cubicle shaped rocks ‘cos their shape isn’t relevant for fight at all, plus it would take a hell of a lot of effort drawing and animating all different types of rocks so complaining ’bout that is making a big deal out of nothing,
if you wan’t perfection go and pay some animators to make it that way

the fight was superb and i enjoyed it You’re no warrior, you’re just a mindless freak of nature, a big wod of spit out chewing gum. Is this what you want? Well, is it ?…

imran_k12 Says:
July 4th, 2010 at 4:16 pm

hahaha what i see non naruto anime fans also started to like this episode !!! like this…

Oh, people who knows shit about animation should STFU.

I don’t like Naruto either, but this is some good animation, although it looks weird. It’s probably something experimental. It’s not because it looks different and weird that it’s bad. Deformation in animation is quite charming, in fact, my teachers would prefer this over normal Naruto animation (not that they’re the standard for animation, but just stating the opinion of some professionals).

In the studios of Naruto, it is common that they hire other animators for fighting scenes. Probably because animating in a normal sense would take too much time (for shading and stuff), the second factor (the most important one) is because the animation would come off as much looser, meaning they move more dynamically. Which is a good thing for an action scene.

JohnNamikaze Says:
July 4th, 2010 at 4:40 pm

Probably some of you guys don’t realize that the animators put physics in the fighting scenes, and it usually it doesn’t happen much.

The reason why the animation looked so wacky or cartoon is because of GRAVITY or aka going at G-FORCE speed which makes the face look jelly.

Pein’s bodies are dead, so the face should have always been jelly, so this time around the animation did a better job.

If you don’t like this animation, then don’t watch Naruto, since your tainting the show with your illogical negative remarks of this series.

July 5th, 2010 at 2:42 am

I joined only for the purpose to comment on this episode. Here I go.

-Wasn’t Pain on the verge a death the last episode? Now he can perform his most powerful attack.

-When did pain get so buff?

-Why does Pain’s face keep contorted to look like a completely different person.

-Water skating? Really?

-They changed the animation style to keep up the fast paced fight? Are fucking serious? They didn’t feel the need to change the animation style the other 30+ fights.

-They tried something experimental. On the most important since shippuden started? Fucking really?

-Did you just bring up physics into an anime? Are you dumb as fuck?

-looney toons pounding pain into the ground.

-Why the fuck is pain acting like Orochimaru and not like himself?

-http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/07/03/naruto-achieves-legendary-quality/
That’s not fucking quality. That’s shit.

-Watch an episode of colorful. It will completely change your point of view of how awesome the style is.

-But

2HOT4U Says:
July 5th, 2010 at 3:00 am

Continued because I accidentally hit submit:

-But it was following the style of the manga. It has proven over and over, you can’t do an exact copy from paper to digital. It will look fucking retarded.

-I actually stopped and googled around to see if this a troll/fan created episode.

-Why does it look like pain’s faced is smashed up against a sheet of glass

-Their faces look exactly like the pervy guys in colorful when they are about to jizz in their pants.

To sum it up. Do I think this episode it total shit. No. I just think they made a very bad choice. when I came to very fast motion and their facial expressions/contortions.

Squalor Says:
July 5th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

I didn’t like when the Kyuubi hammered Pain as if he were a nail, and I didn’t like when Pain got stuck head first in the crevice, but you are absolutely wrong on all other accounts 2HOT4U.

The animation for this episode was amazing. Sure, they skimped out on some detail when a lot of rubble was falling and flying around, but the still shots of the terrain was amazing.

The water scenes were extremely well done–all of them.

The transmogrification of Pain’s face worked really well to show the intensity of the battle.

Chibaku Tensei, aside from being one of the most awesome attacks ever, looked fantastic.

When the Kyuubi broke free and the rocks caught fire and fell as if they were meteors, I nearly lost it because it was one of the best scenes I’ve seen anywhere.

The sky was brilliant.

I’m glad they experimented with this. I hope they do it more often. I was more than impressed with the content and quality of this episode.

MagicianOfFlame Says:
July 5th, 2010 at 7:12 pm

I don’t know what you see in this animation, alot of comments said that it was amazing. well I won’t argue with that but i still think that these are what ruined the episode:
1 – when the kyuubi hummered Pein like a comedy cartoon.
2 – Pein using water Jutsu…
3 – Hinata should have drawn in that water, too.
4 – Pein using Shinra Tensai with no cooldown on those fire bullets from Jyuubi.

these are the main stuff that made me hate this episode. which made no sense to me at all.

4442771 Says:
July 5th, 2010 at 9:20 pm

i think you are all wrong because pain doesn’t use water jutsu but he hit the ground and the water came out from under ground and that’s really make me laugh.
one another thing that really annoying is where the hell are coming that trees…Is under the ground of konoha that much water and trees…maybe there is another world under konoha…
what the hell!!! Are you kidding me?!
