New and current FS anime Topic

[C']

...and it was worth every second that I had to wait for it.

Absolutely fantastic episode. Colouring was noticeably lower quality than a regular episode but this was clearly due to the animation team seemingly pulling out all the stops for the animation which was some of the best the series has seen so far. From the first combo that Naruto performed to some of the more explosive moments in the battle, everything felt that much better due to the HQ animation.

Battle was incredibly satisfying to watch, moreso after the lengthy flashbacks that have preceded it.

Top class.

Now I have to wait for 134 :_;

[Wild_Cat]

The DB version of 134 has been out for a couple of days -- and honestly, their subs are quite good.

[Tobal]

indeed 133 had me gasping and smiling through out the entire fight it's that f'in good, i think don't anything else comes close to it, so,so,so much more action was added to the fight over the manga its unbelievable, its shame they could stretch the bugdet for the final attacks in ep134 going by the preview, unless some that has watched db's 134 can say that its pulled off well?

[Tobal]

Reread the naruto/sasuke fight after ep133, pretty much the only things that happen in the manga ?like for like? is Sasuke fireball getting blown away by Naruto?s raw Chakra and Naruto taking Sasuke?s predicted punch to the face(which is explained better in the manga). Every form the opening punch/kick combo, to the water gliding, to the piledriver was made up.

Ichigo100%, caught up episodes I had downloaded(up to ep5), nothing that strikes me as brilliant, just very average and predictable, but strangely still a fun watch much like Negima.

looks like we'll be watching more filler eps:

Narutofan
As the Naruto anime series is only one episode away from being extremely close to the arc the current Naruto manga series is on, what we all knew will happen, is happening. In the month of June we will see the second set of Naruto filler stories come to life as Naruto heads to Rice Field Country on a Super-S Class mission. Apart from all the complaining you will hear from people you have to recognize that this is a good thing for the series, regardless what the storyline is like. It is much better then Naruto going off air for months, losing its audience and being cancelled, after the anime caught up with the manga. We definately wouldn't want that to happen, so this could very well be a blessing.

Upcoming episode titles: Episode 135: The Promise That I Could Not Keep. Episode 136: Infiltration Investigation!? The Super-S Class Mission Which Has Finally Come! Episode 137: Town of Outlaws. Shadow of the Fuumaa Group. Episode 138: The Promise Betrayed, The Fleeting Request. - it is unclear how long this arc will last, however one could speculate they will try and stretch it out to let the manga series progress farther.


dunno if that's good or bad, I wanna see the new Akatsuki members!

[Tobal]

there's 2 story arc not animated at the moment, kakashi Gaiden and the current Story arc, so i expect them to have filler 6-10 eps and then straight back to the main story with Kakashi gaiden, they could always provide a opening episode for the 2nd naruto movie to.

[C']

can someone tell me which of the previous anime episodes were filler and not from the manga?

[Tobal]

just the tea country arc.

[C']

Is that the one with the race?

If so I'm actually surprised that wasn't 'proper' (if you get what I mean). They added a brother for one of Konoha's Jounins and I got the impression that it was events that took place there that finally pushed

->Open Spoiler<-

Sasuke

over the edge.

[Tobal]

it felt out of place to me, specially Naruto/Sasuke at there respective levels taking on Jounin, and the story was pants outside of the brothers connection, so was the piss poor 'save the budget' animation.

Spoilers for the manga timeline

->Open Spoiler<-

Of course the jounin fight where sasuke get knocked out never happened, instead he was still knocked out completely from Itachi's mind attack on him, and stayed completely out till Naruto came back with Tsuande and healed him and Kakashi

[C']

AonE 134 is out.

Nice turnaround. Didn't even notice the gap this time

[Tobal]

Not to much surprising recently, Negima/Ichigo plodding on there way, bleach/naruto/one piec/eye shield still enjoyable.

Though to find shocwave had 195-200ch translated over the week after months of nothing was a delight, shame some of likable secondary cast are starting to die again ;_; I thought for sure that

->Open Spoiler<-

the older psychic guy was going to die in that boss fight but the kid took the hit instead giving him a chance to defeat the boss, I?m surprised that coward survived 1st and 2nd bosses (the 2nd boss which his sick, sick ability) and we still have the 3rd and big boss to go yet and I feel for sure that not many are going to survive this fight specially vamp?s looking on.

Also been re watching Ikkitousen this week after large stints on Dynasty warriors 5, found myself a English->Romaji name translation so I could make out how the fighters are, I remember at first thinking the eyepatch girl was Xiahou Dun and not Lu Meng, shame it ended after 13eps? anyone remember why and/or which team is currently doing the manga?

[Taka]

I believe Ikkitousen's manga has been licensed by Tokyopop, and renamed to "Battle Vixens", eugh...

that sounds really bad, so i can expect the whole 3 Kingdom's connection to be thrown out the window then ;_;

well there must be a teamout there doing it, time ot get my searching goggles on.

Finished watching GSD 31, and WoW! now that's a sodding super weapon, i have feeling both Legged Ships are going to have to help each to other.
