Section 2: Tweets from the Anime Director
The following are posts taken from Hayato Date's twitter (the director of the Naruto anime)

Hayato Date
もうすぐ巻ノ六十三も終了だな。
We're almost done with Volume 63. (note - 63 is chapter 598-607)

Twitter follower
もうそんなに進んだんですか!?
You're already that far!?

Hayato Date
絵コンテ打ちがね、後一人で六十三が終わる・・・(怖)。
With the storyboard meetings, yes. Only one more (meeting) and Vol 63 will be done (scary)
Note: What he means by "scary" is they are getting too close to catching up to the manga

Twitter Follower
あと残り2冊……恐ろしいですね……;
Only two volumes left... That's scary isn't it...

Hayato Date
と、言っても他作品よりシナリオ進んでるので絵コンテを撒いたので皆様が目にするのは当分先よ。
*says something about the scripts and storyboards I don't really understand, but it says it will be a while before we see these episodes*


Hayato Date
63~65巻の間にオリジナルってなにが挟めるのだろう?どんな話が見たい?
What kind of filler should we put in the space between volume 63~65? What kind of story would you like to see?


In a separate tweet he also mentions that they have planned to add stuff (filler) material that will be complementary to manga material (I think he's still talking about after volume 63)

What this means is future fillers should be related to canon, or just mixed in to extend canon episodes.


Update: A new post
Hayato Date: みなさ~~~ん、暫くの間ナルトの声が聞こえなくなりますよ、来週の放送が終わると暫くはサスケ(イタチ)疾風伝かよ!!と突っ込み入れたくなる状況が現段階でも7週以上続きます。来週もお見逃しなく。

In this post he says Naruto will be off screen for 7 weeks(or more?) after this weeks episode (330). He joked that it will be "Sasuke/Itachi Shippuden" for 7 weeks(+?). It is not clear if he means Sasuke/Itachi stuff will last exactly 7 weeks, or longer.

Section 3: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When will there be a new Opening/Ending?
A: The openings and endings go by the following schedule
  • First week of January: New Ending
  • First week of April: New Opening and Ending
  • First week of July: New Ending
  • First week of October: New Opening and Ending

Q: When are new episode titles released?
A: There are two specific time frames
  • One new title is released between the 7th-10th every month. Animation info for upcoming episodes is also released with this title.
  • Three new titles are released around the 22nd-23rd every month

Q: Where can I learn more about the animation staff?
A: This page has some nice info:
You can usually know how good an episode will be by learning the names of the animation supervisors. For example, if you see "Hiroyuki Yamashita" or "Masayuki Kouda" listed, it will always be a great episode.

Q: Why did all of the Chikara episodes have such great animation?
A: It seems that Chikara was originally being produced as a movie. However it was scrapped, and Road to Ninja took its place as the yearly film for 2012. The studio has not directly confirmed this, but there is mountains of evidence to support this explanation.

They're only going about 2 chapters per episode for 332-334, that's not really rushing.

Hopefully they move some of the Madara fight into 332, people probably won't like it if those parts are in 333

They finally said who is doing the new ending, "Akihisa Kondo"

So the OP/ED are both by people that I've never heard of :(

Some random info about episode 330, they said there will be a part in the episode to remind everyone of the 18 names (for the 9 bijuu/9 jinchuriki).

I'm guessing it will be a 1-2 minute long segment at the beginning, separate from whats actually going on

New titles for 335-338 should be up by some time tomorrow. There could be a break on October 17th, but not for sure
