There's a new opening and ending song. No more Bachcoi!!

Man, what a lazy OP... it has practically no motion and is flat out uninteresting.
I can only hope that they'll change some stuff after this arc is over.

At least the episodes were okay. I liked the Team 8 omake, Tobi scenes, and last couple scenes.

end of the opening seems to have the animators pairing preferences. read into it what you will.

narutos unfortuantely useless in these two episodes he doesnt even make a good distraction and his attitude towrds shino smacks of the director not being a naruto fan.

Shino is fairly awesome throughout both episodes.

more sakura ino interaction.

How do you mean? At the end of the opening, they're all just standing in a v formation with Naruto at the tip, next to their team mates. How does this show pairing preference? Or are you talking about a different part?

I agree. I was waiting for Naruto to do something the entire episode, I mean wth? Kakashi said last arc that Naruto was stronger than him now, and yet Naruto's the one lying on the floor - er - lake surface watching Kakashi fight this lady. I can see Kakashi having an advantage because of his elemental affinity seems strong against crystal style, but seriously? What a lame plot hole.

As for the Shino thing, I think they were trying to exaggerate the fact that Naruto didn't even recognize Shino when they first met again after 3 years. Unfortunately, the filler arcs over exaggerate everything to the point where it twists the characters and makes them flat and two dimensional. I don't think this is anything directly against Naruto's character. *shrugs* But I could be wrong.

I swear, Tobi cracked me up! Especially when he was giggling like a girl when talking about Deidara.

I already mentioned my opinion about the new opening and ending. Good songs but average to bad animation.

I agree 100% Tobi was hilarious and the animation for the ending was a bit odd. I thinked the new opening as well.

Really? I thought the animation was one of the awesome things about the opening and endings. The only weird part was the whole teeth thing in the ending, but they're both nice songs. Especially that ending, one of the best Shippuden ones.

Actually I really liked the ending animation. That one par better than the opening.

I'm still boycotting the anime until the fillers end but I watched the new OP and ED and they were both awful imo, you know an ED is awful when it makes you want Bachcoi back.

Animation was meh/so/so. The filler failed. But I do like the OP and ED songs. Although, the opening animation was the Sasuke Naruto thing.

All I have to say is this:
Studio Pierrot should NEVER make up technique names.

Hmm, the episodes were okay, I'm liking the way Sakura was portrayed when they were working on the sealing technique.

I'm not really a fan of the opening but I liked the new ending they had.
