----------------------------------------
A lot of talk and we finally see pain's true face.

I still feel like it's dragged on for too long, but it wasn't so bad this time around compared to last ep. Why didn't naruto take in more nature energy before breaking out of frog statue pain so he could fight in sage mode? =O

Yoda is stabbed to death
I was actually expect it to die of old age...anyway

Pain's justice is
Pain is trying to become God,
gathering all the beast to create a world peace ....
with such beast in his hand,I guess any rebellion will smash into piece before even it is started.Like always,this plan has a weakness it in.........
Pain is the next generation of Laplace LOL

I don't feel Naruto involve in politic ,I suppose Tsunade should be the one to hear the lecture.I feel kinda weird when Pain bring Naruto as a comparison.....the lecture is much appreciated though and its kinda sad that Naruto say nothing to say this time.

Why exactly is it going to be sad? If you know what's going to happen (i.e if you have read the manga) you know that it won't matter anyway.


lol why wouldnt it matter? and i find it funny that you only quoted me what one other person mentioned the sadness of the next episode lol xD

edit: you should know why it'll be sad.....you are caught up on the manga ><

I think I can give a theory as to why Naruto Shippuden tends to change from time-to-time between animations. But bear in mind, it's only a theory.

I think part of it, if not much of it, is about not having a enough of a quantity of animators to do the job. Now, I assume that not every person who's recruited to do the animations for Shippuden doesn't do every episode and that they are divided into different teams/groups. There might be a team with a set of animators depending on number of people or skill that do the well-animated episodes and other teams that do the "not so well," but acceptable episodes.

And according to the Anime News Network encyclopedia, by looking at the number of animation directors, assistant animation directors, key animators, 2nd key animators, animation checkers and in-betweeners involved in Shippuden, I counted roughly over 200 people. If you compare Naruto Shippuden to shows where the animations seem consistently good like Code Geass of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, the number of people involved in those shows seem much higher. With Code Geass, I counted roughly near 400 people involved with the animations (if you count the same tasks I mentioned above) and 500+ people with Brotherhood.

Another possibility is because there might be different teams doing different episodes, certain animation directors end up doing episodes. And what I noticed is that the animation director for the next episode, number 166 is done by Hirofumi Suzuki, who also was the animation director for episodes 82, 85, and 123, and openings 1-3, and 5-7 and is one of the 2 character designers of the show. Not only that but in the first series, Suzuki was the animation director for episodes 17, 19, 48, and 151 and key animated in episodes 47, 133, and 151.

I hope what I said makes sense, because I was merely speculating. On a separate note, that was a good epsiode. I actually also noticed there was much talking, but that's probably because I knew what Pain said all before anyway. Basically he was talking about "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." That pretty much felt like the short end of it.

And did anyone else aside from me find it hilarious that Hinata's hair was ridiculously much more shinier than before in the next episode preview? It felt so over-the-top, that it felt a little silly to make her hair so good.

I just realised something... isn't it ironic that a japonese author think that using some kind of "nuke" (combination of all tailed creatures) will bring peace in the world ?

anyway, this episode was emotional but everything pain said was already said before this episode so they wasted a lot of time in this dialogue, they could have skipped the whole "pain speech" and went directly to naruto's answer.

Well I'm awaiting a chance of scenery, i.e. Hinata's confession (which I though would happen today).

Ino's Dad is a genious, I really want Ino to follow in his footsteps; I was dissapointed at Kishimoto making her a medic too.:(

The end was funny; Sakura's tantrum "I'm the Heroein!", prove it then!:p

The episode where we find out Pain's reasons for attacking Konoha and we see the real him. Would've been fine if I didn't already know I guess.

Also surely it's obvious to everyone this "tailed beast weapon" is just a glorified nuke?

Indeed.Pain/Nagato talks about a not lasting peace brought by the use of such a terrible weapon: Kishimoto is criticising that.
