THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

God damn, talk bout Nostalgia!! I really loved this closing episode to the arc. We got to see everything play out from kakashi's personal point of view. Everything that transpired during those first moments of this incredible series. Awesome. The studio really outdid them selfs with this arc. It was just fantastic all around. If only the original series has such awesome pacing like this.


In any case, THUMBS UP for canon returning! :D Finally.

I really really love this filler! the backstory from Kakashi's side!

It really blends well with the war theme, even though the pace slowed down a lot.
Those who read the manga too, will understand! :)

This episode felt really good, especially for the ones who read the recent manga chapter.

Can't wait for next week! It is all back to being canon again!!!!

Finally getting my Shippuden dosage after waiting for two weeks.

That was beautiful, so much feels.

Nostalgia.

Sasuke and Naruto were purposely put in the same team so Sasuke could use his Sharingan to stop Naruto's Nine Tails from going berserk, neat.

Gotta love J-Man.

This episode really tied in well with this week's manga chapter.

Wow, never realized how symbolic Naruto's little prank was at the start of the series, this showed it was more than just comic relief, and it highlighted each member's personality/flaws perfectly. Great observation skills on Kakashi's behalf.

Canon!

Next episode looks like it might have a lot of flashbacks, though there have been a lot of previews in the past that have looked like that and ended up being 99% action, guess we'll have to wait and see.

A good final episode for a great arc. Best fillers ever.

5/5

The Obito arc was something I had a lot of mixed feelings about, interested to see how Pierrot will handle it.

I have read the latest manga chapter and to be honest it doesn't make this better. This is really good on it's own, awesome final episode for this arc, feels for Kakashi when his teammates push him forward. Almost wish it wouldn't get back to the canon.

So that's why those three were put together. Lol, poor Iruka is totally wrong. I'm also surprised with how the Hokage knew about the Naruto > Sakura > Sasuke love triangle. He used Sakura as a way to get Naruto more motivated.

Aww, the ending of the episode was real sweet. They really upped the drama with that heart-warming OST. I loved it, and now back to waiting for the next episode.

True. It's just something I didn't expect the Hokage to care about since it seemed so trivial. But this episode proves that he was keeping an eye on them for a long time. Seems like this love triangle wasn't so insignificant after all.

Hiruzen is awesome. He knows all that's happening in the village. That's his job of being the Hokage after all. It's kinda sad for Kakashi when you don't know that one of your comrades is still alive. Kakashi managing and meeting Team 7. Memories I'll never forget.

The fillers have reached it's end. Next episode will be at the 4th Great Shinobi War again.

I don't think I watched the very first three episodes when it was airing at the time but this was quite nostalgic. I think I started watching Naruto around 2006 though.

Looks like this filler arc is finished. Not bad I'd say, a lot better than I had expected. Next week looks like it will be the canon. Shame, I kinda wanted to see Asuma and Kurenai's team get their bells though. And what kinda of jutus was that, Jiraya? LOL.

Omg, the part when Kakashi sees them feeding Naruto gave me goosebumps. Starting to like Kakashi more and more, hell.. He might even be my favorite character now!

I'm really excited for the next episode, how come we only had 2 in the last 4 weeks instead of 4 though?

Wow this week's chapter and this filler episode both emphasized on team 7.

To think that we'd have Kakashi reminiscing on the latest chapter as well as this week's episode is just... damn!

great episode, though they should have transitioned back to canon at the end of the episode so the whole filler arc was kakashi's thoughts instead it felt very cut off with the beginning of the next episode just being canon again

so much nostalgia in this episode

Is it me or has some of the dialogues from original Naruto episodes been rewritten for this episode?
Of course. For one thing, Sasuke definitely did not feed Naruto. And, Kakashi messed with them a bit more before telling them they passed. The part where they leave Naruto tied up there remains the same though ^^

Sasuke' room is pretty cool. That view from the window and balcony is nice, and the room is really big and neat.

So Sasuke and Naruto was put into the same team so Sasuke's Sharingan can control Naruto's Kyuubi if it goes berserk. Thats nice...too bad it didn't happen as team mates but rather as enemy haha.

What a beautiful Naruto episode this was. This was a great ending to the Kakashi Anbu arc which has been very good in my opinion but for a filler, it's amazing in my opinion this has been the best filler of Naruto + Naruto Shippuden. The ending of the episode almost gave me "the feels" but I'm a big macho tough guy who never sheds a tear. I love Kakashi and I love Team 7. I'm very glad that we're going back to canon Naruto next week though! Thanks Kakashi Anbu arc, you were good and I loved this episode a lot it was very beautiful but I'm excited to go back to canon Naruto 5/5.

I had stopped watching Naruto:Shippuden while fillers were airing, and today I finished it in one go. I am enraged they did not give Kyuubi attack better animation, and instead used old one, and I am furious they didn't animate Orochimaru vs Jiraiya. I am seriously glad we got through fillers.

Sakura's parents inviting Kakashi and Hiruzen was quite funny!

Conversation between Hiruzen and Kakashi was nice.
Loved that little recollection of Hiruzen's squad. Tsunade admiring Orochimaru and Jiraiya trying to get her attention too. XD

Kakashi's initial observation after the duster prank was impressive!
Last part was a nice nostalgic scene.

As filler episodes; these were not so bad for the past few weeks.

Main story resumes next week! Looking forward to it. :)

Ahh the nostalgia! What an epic episode, in fact this is definitely the best filler arc of Naruto! I absolutely loved this episode! It is so awesome that Kakashi actually saw through the prank and did a Sherlock, lol. And I love how we got to see these extra little bits that tie things together from the first few episodes of Naruto. WOW, just amazing!

And as much as I loved this filler arc, I cannot wait for next week's episode, we are finally going back to canon! This is going to be EPIC!

5/5.

wow....every time they talked i paused the video and thought about it..... to hiruzen sarutobi sensei team > minatos team > kakashis team... so much background information .... i was feeling sad happy i i i... just cant tell what i felt it was beautiful ..i understand kakashi sensei perfectly now.

everything kakashi sensei did up until now make sense even everyone around him= 4th hokage kushina,3rd hokage, itachi, kakashis class mates and there students. ..

specially i got to see the way kakashi cared for naruto (naruto always thought kakashi favors sasuke) he checking the milk .. he didn't even check anything on sasuke and he was all alone too.. i think that was great because i think naruto and kakashi sensei as student and teacher is fantastic they have very cute but strong bond !! every moment when it shines like this i love :3

i love this episode and every episode in this ARC it was pure bliss to watch nice end ..anything on naruto,kakashi,jiraya i watch with full heart.. next week its the WAR oh...my...god... cant wait... well done naruto team awesome timing :3
