Naruto Shippuuden Episode 5 is now out by Dattebayo. A very decent episode and probably a series I might consider following and reviewing as it goes along. The Naruto filler ended a month ago and we’re finally at a point where the good stuff starts, manga wise… I think. Anyway, the episode was rather decent.
Kazekage Gara vs. the Akatsuki member was an entertaining fight and the ending left a lot to be seen soon. We’re close to where I quit reading the manga, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen soon - I’m just thankful the filler was non-canon.
I’m hoping that the anime does shape up and this is a good sign that it will. I recently went back and watched until the end of the canon material (before the filler) and found some of the fights decent but the plot lacking. None of the characters really, really, really train for their power. It’s all given or inherit with them - which ruins the plot for me.
Episodes like this with lots of fighting and some good dialogue show some promise, although I’m not holding my breath. I’m hoping the series stays strong with the massive amount of fans EVEN during the filler.
Ah well, overall good episode. The last one was a little better if memory serves. Next episode in two weeks running two hours.
