Shippuden

>>147439897
There's not much to discuss now since the episode airs next week. Anyway, it should be really well-animated.

>>147439897
>they're using english

Look at what you've done, America. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

>>147440077
This

will it make up for the two years of nonstop filler?

>>147439897
Why is Japan still obsessed with Naruto?

>>147440325
Because of the west.

But will it be better than Naruto Storm 4's version of the final battle?

Boruto did really well because it was very reminiscent of Naruto Part 1 (minus the last battle)

Is it really going to be black & white like the preview suggests?

>Boruto did really well because it was very reminiscent of Naruto Part 1
Nope, it was the last canon story in the Naruto series. It was nothing like Part I.

>>147443703
As in the kids weren't super-powered, Chunin exams, etc

>>147440539
The fight in the same was lame as fuck

Why the fuck is the anime still ongoing? Didn't the manga end about a year ago?

I get that they're trying to milk this shit as much as possible, but how can they get away with months of unneeded stalling while the source material is already finished and ready to be adapted?

>>147444494
>a year

Two

When the manga ended, the anime was still around the Madara Arc. The penultimate arc...or pen-penultimate arc.

They also:
> Animated the Itachi Hiden novel
> Infinite Tsukuyomi dream filler (which were generally good except for Tsunade's)
> Some backstory for Kaguya...as she desperately needed some

>>147445532
>backstory for Kaguya
what was her backstory anyway?

>>147445729
Came to Earth, some human king got her pregnant, became an evil dictator, got sealed by her son

Do japs even understand what "Last Battle" means?

>>147445980
Well it is the last battle in Shippuden and in the manga

>>147440077
More like the rest of the world should be ashamed for being so shit that none of them are capable of doing a goddamn thing about it. Get fucked world, don't complain just because you're all losing.

>>147441098
More like because it was a well done homage to everything about the series:

kids going on adventures, promotion exams, showing off ninja skills in battle, rasengan training, homolust, smug villain with swirly eyes, chakrazord fights with the bonus of seeing the old characters as adults that have accomplished their dreams.

>>147439897
i watched the latest episode on a whim after not having been into it since i was a kid pre-Shippuden, and actually found myself enjoying it. Is it worth going back and reading/watching at least the shinobi world war arcs?

>>147447522
>watching at least the shinobi world war arcs?

Only the parts with Madara, Hashirama and Tobirama

>>147445855
So naurto and sauce are strong because AYY lamos ancestry? nice.

>>147447522
The world war was the end of a pretty substantial downward slide that started two arcs before. If you do pick it up again, I wouldn't really recommend that be where you start (and don't watch the anime of a long running battle shonen what are you crazy? Some of the early Shippuden is literally offensively bad, it offends me that people not only thought people would watch that garbage, they were actually right).

>>147447766
shit, at that rate maybe i'll just rewatch part 1 and skip the filler. all i saw when i originally watched it was the shitty cartoon network edits

>>147447697
Well, more like because they are the reincarnations of butthurt homo ninja God brothers. But yeah, the ancestry has something to do with it.

>>147440077
How is this our fault?

It's pretty good.

It goes downhill after the Pain arc (during the War), but it picks itself up again...

Unless you get annoyed with super-powered ninjas.

>>147439897
People are still going to shitpost about it years to come and say its full of Q U A L I T Y just like every other sakuga episode of naruto directed by yamashita and crew

Hell, I would've been okay if only Sasuke died.

Or if both Naruto and Sasuke at least lost their arms permanently. But only Sasuke was left without one.

>>147453993
They were gonna die but Pinkshit saved them.

Poor Sakura...

Sasuke probably couldn't please her with one arm, and exiled himself out of the village from shame

Since they announced that the Naruto Hiden novels will be animated, the rest of Shippuden will likely go like this:

> Final Battle
> Manga chapter 699
> Time-skip
> Naruto Hiden novels
> Manga epilogue Ch 700

That is unless Naruto Hiden will be series of OVAs

>>147454802
Or Uzumaki levels of stamina

>>147455312
God i hope not. I read the Shippuden Director doesn't want the Anime Naruto+Shippuden to surspassed the Manga in number of episodes so thats why they will end it without fillers. After this one hour special there will be two episodes left. 699 which its confirm to have god tier animation and 700. The Novels will come later

Who needs two arms when you got eyehax

LORD SASUKE SOLOS

>>147456342
Sasuke really is dbz level.

Will naruto get ever close to Sasuke in strength? The series is called naruto but in boruto the movie it was clear Sasuke was stronger hell even those 5 sec in the last showed Sasuke's chidori > a meteor

>>147456342
that explosion visible from space at the end was paying homage to the budokai tenkaichi games

>>147456740
I only watched part 1, but I thought the point was that Sasuke would always be stronger. Naruto's FIGHTING SPIRITO just levels it out.

>>147453993
They almost died but they were brought back by old man Sage of the Six Paths, right?

>>147454312
How come Naruto gets his arm back after this but Sauce doesn't?

>>147439897
Everywhere?

not really, Idolmaster and Pokemon are everywhere right now Naruto never gets much promotion

>>147459945
>Idolmaster
Do you mean Love Live? Idolmaster's dead except for the mobile game.

>>147458382
The fight has got great staff working on it. As mediocre as the show normally is, it does deliver on the special episodes.

>>147458326
They offered to reconstruct Naruto's and Sasuke's arm, but Sasuke refused and also exiled himself from the village

part of his "redemption"

>>147462819
They also apparently got ex- Bleach workers, so the quality has been getting better

>>147463243
Not really, the in-house animation supervisor that came over from Bleach actually hasn't been doing as good of a job on Naruto despite being one of the better supervisors on Bleach. Teruaki Tokumaru, who was one of the regular good Bleach animators did contribute to some good animation on Naruto though. Still, Naruto's best in-house animators never came from Bleach.

Being the best has its merits

I haven't taken the line in a while, but the advertisement in OP's pic is likely in Shinjuku station, and has a different game/manga/anime ad every week. Most are.. quite more spectacular than this one.

It's a bit sensationalist to say it's being promoted almost everywhere in Japan. This is the first I've even heard of it desu.

>>147462336
yeah and the mobile game is massive right now, posters, commercials and premium event spaces in tokyo are idolmaster or pokemon with a few other random mobile games like shadowverse.

console games are dead and PC gaming was never a thing here
