^^NOTE: Don't get overexcited for 444 Yamashita is only serving as a regular animaton director for a regular team Nothing spectacular. However the good news is that Hiroyuki Yamashita and Masayuki Kouda have returned to work on the anime after so long. Hopefully they stick around for canon episodes.

^^NOTE: Don't get overexcited for 444 Yamashita is only serving as a regular animaton director on a regular team, so 444 may have nice visuals, but tnohing crazy. However the good news is that Yamashita and Kouda have finally appeared again. So perhaps they will be working on future canon or Itachi episodes.
What about episode #448?

still fillers i see
Fillers are practically confirmed up until March, where the anime will then cut to an unknown length Itachi filler arc, and then after the Itachi filler arc it was confirmed that there will be a "Kaguya arc". What isn't know is if this Kaguya arc is also a filler arc, or if its the actual Kaguya arc. What also isn't know is if this Kaguya arc will take place immediately after the Itachi arc, or if the fillers will continue in-between.

In other words, depending on the length of both the Itachi and Kaguya arcs [they could easily be 8-12 episode long arcs each] there is about a %70 chance that there will be no canon episodes in 2016 at all.

Do you think episode 446 have potential to be good since its basically a naruto vs sasuke episode?

Yamashita did work on 440 as well. They've had some good animators this arc. I think there is some kind of fight with sasuke and lee/kakashi next episode.

Edit: there are two teams listed for 444. We might get a yamashita fight. The rest is Yamaguchi supposedly?

Didn't Yamaguchi do night guy?? If so this will be the best episode in the arc so far

I wouldn't mind if they released the filler arcs as a batch and got them over and done with, but they just spoon feed them to us.

You can tell that Yamashita's working on the next ep just by looking at the preview.
