Episode 163 kicks off the Naruto vs. Pain fight, if I'm quite correct.

Yeah, going by the pacing of this episode it would seem that would be correct.

I haven't seen 161 yet, but we're only a few episodes away from some awesome sage mode smack down from Naruto.

Like: Animation was flawless! 
(and the omake 
Karin is so damn silly -and sexy... look at that body... 
Thank god you ditched Sasuke later on...-)
Dislike: The animators/writers messed up the transition of the flashbacks of Naruto for both Konohamaru and Ebisu. First off, wasn't Part 1 Naruto taught Konohamaru the Rasengan... and where's the progress of accepting Naruto from Ebisu and the villagers? It brought it down too quickly, instead, showing right off the bat after Episode 2 and right after Chunin Exams that Ebisu accept Naruto for who he is.

Looks like the animators were feeling lazy who knows if they mess up with the famous N/S "sibling hug
" from chapter 450?

Wow! :L The animation is absolutely fabulous! And the quality too! And the music! Dang, I loved it, though the Akatsuki symbol was a bit off, they forgot the swirl in the clouds, but whatever! Ebisu - er, was great, protecting Konohamaru. Though, I really wanted to see Ebisu's view on Naruto's background like in the Manga. And poor Konohamaru, always running into walls xP... Though, the Rasengan was epic! Woo! Can't wait till the next one.

omg, who saw the omake? I completely *facepalm*-ed for real, like..."oooohmyyygoddddd" - first I was like, TEAM HEBI OMAKE, YESH. then I was reduced to.. *sigh* well, that was embarrassing. I hate when Karin is reduced to flubbering fangirl *scowl*
I will never un-see the Sasuke nudity, seriously. Where's the brain bleach? plzthnxbai.
my teenage girlishness is showing
As for the rest of the episode, the animation was LOOOADS better from last week, and I really liked the soundtrack. I got all slighly teary when the music was playing while Ebisu talked about Naruto and stuff...
and oh man, I didn't realize Konohamaru in pt.2 was voiced by a girl til' now. I am so behiiind XD

I really liked this episode. The animation was not as crappy as the one that I've seen so far since the start of Pein attack. While the animator change the Ebizu speech and his memories of Naruto, I still liked it and found it very beautiful.
Anyway, this episode really show well Konohamaru true potential
PS : The Omake was OK, I don't really like seeing Karin on fangirl mode again ( I really can't wait to hear her saying that she has enough of Sasuke...hope that THIS part won't be skip
)

Man, they are really dragging this arc out. I understand that they most likely don't want to have to do too many fillers, but seriously, write better, guys. You get paid for it, you should do it better than this.
The episode was alright. The changes to Konohamaru's thoughts about the jutsu were rather... impressive, I think. Adult Naruko is insanely hot. But wasn't Konohamaru's Rasengan a lot smaller in the manga? And where's the thoughts of the villagers on Naruto's changes, and their changing opinions of him? They were supposed to have been shown already, weren't they?
To me, as a manga reader, that omake was very uncomfortable. I really hate the way the anime only shows the women in this series in such one dimensional portrayals. Every time they have a step forward, the animators and writers change it so they take two giant leaps backwards. It's frustrating, to say the least.

Don't worry Gravenimage, I'm sure they'll do the NaruSaku hug, I know they wouldn't rob us fans of that now or would they?

I will never un-see the Sasuke nudity,I was like: yawn, Sasuke without his shirt again- like we haven't seen that a hundred times already in part 2/Shippuden. I mean his first shirt in this part was open to his waist. It's not like Naruto in part 2/Shippuden where bare chested Naruto only occurs in a few chapters (element training arc, sage training arc) I think Sasuke has been seen with his chest visible more than covered in part 2/Shippuden.

Ha! Ha! That's a good find Catsi and I wouldn't worry about Hinata's confession Gravenimage, just treat it as part of the story and nothing more, I've also paid a visit to the forums on Naruto.com and all they're talking about is Hinata's confession, like it's the biggest thing in the world.
