That didn't take long.

Delicious.

Corpse Madara and mask wearing douche Madara aren't even the same person. How the hell was I supposed to know this bad ass was going to come in and just start roflstomping fools.

Told ya 322 was great. This Madara is the one bright spot of the war arc.

Madara in 322 is good but Kakashi vs
Obito
is masterful as well. All the added visual cues and scenes really flesh out these chapters beyond the manga.

Madara's was the dude is Kabuto's mystery coffin right or does he bring Jiraya back to life or something dumber?

That's short changing the war arc a bit. There's still
Eighth Gate Gai, Obito VS Kakashi, Team 7 VS Kaguya on an inter dimensional battlefield, and Naruto VS Sasuke
left to go. Honestly the worst parts of the war arc were in the beginning before Naruto arrived and it was scrubs fighting scrubs.
 
War arc would've been a lot better if they paced it better up to this point.

Like One Piece, a lot of agonizingly long arcs are made much more bearable when your can binge watch them. When you're being drip-fed almost nothing on a week by week basis, arcs that might have been okay becomes unwatchable at this pace. The trouble is that you'll eventually catch up and need to wait for the final third of the arc to wrap up with the rest of us :p

I'll just be watching other shows again. I have Fate Stay Night and a lot of Gundam to catch up with in the mean time.
 
Crazy to think Jaded has nearly caught up to us ;____;

Yeah. As soon as Madara arrives and then Sasuke things pick up for the better. I really liked the final arc as well and hope the anime can do it justice.
 
I can't wait for more Sasuke. The repeat corpse villain shit was getting tired till Itachi came in. Madara kicked that shit up another notch as well. I was actually feeling sorry for the first crop of guys cause they had a noble death, then Kabuto has to be a cock and bring them back. I even caught up with and surpassed people in Berserk Gaf. I can marathon.
 
You know there will be plot progression when Sasuke turns up. Honestly, you should just switch to the manga at some point.

Yeah, alot of pointless reunions and revisits while they skipped some important people. Made 1000x times as worse if you followed this week to week and had some of the series worse block of filler thrown in.

Yeah thank god I'm late to the show. The wait had to be painful cause some of those mediocre ass episodes were painful. They couldn't even hold my attention.

New info there. New Itachi OP for the new arc next week.

Key Visual(Shisui!!)

And there seems to be the remaining timeline for the series. Counting part 1, episode 652 from last week ended Jiraya arc obviously. They talk about the end of the series with the first 670 episodes and Itachi arc is rumored for about 9 epsidodes because of the poll in WSJ. With only 20 or so chapters of canon left we can be finished in 10 or fewer episodes. The end is coming :*)
 
I have no idea why Naruto and Bee thought they'd be able to take on Fakeara and all those Jin whatever the fuck cause they're getting their ass' kicked.

Weird to be watching Naruto again. First episode of this Itachi thing was alright. I just watched the Power arc for the first time to get back into Naruto, so it was jarring going from that to this lol. That arc looked really great.

is the beginning of the episode canon? They showed a bunch of dreams and they went by pretty quick and they weren't 20 episode arcs so I assume they were canon. The super robot puppet scene got a chuckle out of me.
 
These last two episodes have been hitting Gundam Seed Destiny levels of reused footage. My god even Kurama has faith in Naruto now. A few seasons ago he wouldn't even piss on the poor kid even if he was on fire.

Was it a new OP and ED?

No new ending. The current one is for this arc. They switched itachi in the OP like they have been doing.

New Arc looks pretty good so far.

You might be watching the filler special, which is also good. Now you can finally see Naruto use his power.
 
326, 327 and 328 are said to be canon, they're just very flashback heavy and just use Kurama's perspective in regards to some of the events. Not what I wanted to waste my morning anime watching time on to tell you the truth. Sasuke popped up again, but only briefly. I want more of Madara fighting the Five Kage's and Sasuke being a badass, not flashbacks.

326 is mostly canon. 327/328 are like the last arc where they took a few pages of a single chapter and stretch it to whole episodes. The anime usally animates 2-3 chapters at a time for context.

Kuramas little monologue is alot shorter in canon but I liked the anime version and it was a nice double episode when it released. And Sasuke is about to become little brother again lol. You really have caught up now.
 
Good since I don't even hate Sasuke. He hasn't really had a chance to even talk to Itachi since their fight and you could tell by the end of it he had some words to say to him, I hope he gets to say them now, can't wait, especially since Itachi is nice as hell now, he might even hug Sasuke.

Itachi doing the head thingy to Sasuke and Sasuke looking al happy about it as a kid is the best thing. I never understood how people can hate Sasuke. Just look

Those moments usually make me question Sasuke's ability to learn, but the dude loves his bro so it makes sense. All he ever wanted to do as a kid was train with Itachi and learn some jutsu. The good moments are just for some odd reason never shown too much in the show, which lead me to question if Itachi even liked Sasuke, but I know the truth now. Itachi would do anything for Sasuke and Sasuke would pretty much scorch a village, women, children and all cause they don't know about his noble sacrifice for them. In some ways it's a bit backwards, but the plan is coming from the logic of a 16 year old so it makes sense a little bit.

Is proper Madara kicking ass?

Kid Itachi in this new episode >>>>

He's somehow cuter than Sasuke and already offing chuunin/jonin. He's like kid Madara. I never read the novels but that was a good opening.

God damn it I hate that one. He's just a douche bag with a giant fan on his back. Does he even use that thing at some point or is it just decorative?

Soon, you'll want him back to that persona. And yes he uses that fairly soon, if it wasn't for the fact that Madara&Sasuke are about to hijack the show for +11 episodes IIRC.

Wait so Masked Madara gets even worse as a character? Cause I never really enjoyed his screen presence. So if he just gets worse I'd just hope they kill him really quickly or something. Can't wait for the Madara and Sasuke show then as long as they don't bring Karin back.

Gaara's dream was the best. The others were silly, Kankuro's mecha?! Sai's smile? Rock Lee defeating Naruto and Neji (oddly that he didnt have Sasuke).

Sasuke telling Kakashi that he is being just like Sakura made me chuckle a lot.
