Naruto Shippuden Episode 298 "Contact! Naruto vs. Itachi" – Discussion

[The Hidden Shinobi]

4/5 for today's episode, the only reason it didn't get 5/5 was because of the animation of the episode. It wasn't completely horribly terrible but for an episode like this with itachi nagato bee and naruto all in one battle it should have been better, it seems to be slightly improved for next week but nothing special.

We do have to understand that it takes a lot of effort to animate battles in naruto and right now there is going to be 24/7 battle in the series so its a lot on the animators plate. But even so I would prefer more time being spent on animation in this and less in the kages and then more time when madara comes as well but we will see.

If it wasn't for the people being nagato and itachi I would have gave this episode a 3/5 but just seeing them boost this episode up to 4/5.

It was a good episode, nothing more nothing less.

There was some new music when Itachi broke free that was kind of cool had an epic feeling to it.

Myeah... I liked it, but still, my opinion on the animation stays the same. It is horrendous!
Hell, in the 90's when they didn't had so much technology and were drawing by hand, they were doing it better.
So 4/5 because of the animation.

 

[JiraiyaTheGreat]

Story, music and character > animation for me so I give this 5 stars. Top episode!

Edit: btw, Naruto animation still is better then One Piece or Bleach!

Need to wait for NB to upload and then download and watch it in phone ♥♥♥

 

[Lilvic92]

Meh, I will hold my complaints about the animation once Madara shows up, they better go all out or I'ma have smack somebody. I hope next episode animation is better, should be a good fight.

 

[JiraiyaTheGreat]

The animation team for episode 300 til 304 is Hyako-team, they are the best. Good news!

Shisui didnt die?? he just disappeared?? hmmm interesting

No I when they said faked his death it was either how he got away from Danzo but that doesn't make sense or it was how he died which they faked. Shisui is definitely dead and died after he last spoke to itachi.

They also faked him having his eye at death but he secretly gave it to itachi before he died.

Yh that knocked off the 5/5 rating for me as well.

Yh though the animation wasn't great the other aspects of the episode overcame that

I'm waiting to download the episode as well the quality is soo much better

Meh, I will hold my complaints about the animation once Madara shows up, they better go all out or I'ma have smack somebody. I hope next episode animation is better, should be a good fight.

I've already got my plans for a sniper rifle and how to smuggle it into japan if they **** up the animation for that. If it goes wrong, I'm ending the anime

 

[choft]

I didn't like it. It was awesome in the manga, but in the anime, it's just ... meh.

Better than Bleach's animation? Hell no. And at least One Piece's animation is consistent. I really wish another company could animate Naruto, it seems like Pierrot has really lost the skill that they once had.

 

[Ero sennin jiraiya]

A majority 5 stars for both the manga and anime this week. Very good week for Naruto. Next week is probably going to be good too. Expect lots of flashbacks in the next manga chapter though.

 

[Meee]

YEAH!!

itachi kicking some octopus ass lol

it was hardcore man I liked his little fight with Naruto though those kicks were badass

I would have rather them give this fight good animation and give Gaara vs Former Kage the bad animation. But no... apparently all the average/mediocre fights deserve better animation than the overhyped/amazing fights. This was one of the four fights in the war that I didn't want them to screw up with bad animation, oh and look what happened. These animators are really doing Kishi a disservice.

I feel the exact same way I don't mind if the battle against the kages animation is not great but I wanted this one to be. Imo they just need to focus on this battle, madara's arrival and his battle against the kages, sasuke and itachi vs kabuto and naruto vs tobi that whole battle.

They can take a break with all the kages **** I'm not to bothered.

 

[Chatte]

Well I want the battle against the Kages to be animated properly. My Tsunade is there! :T_T:
Lol

 

[Bogard]

I waited to see what the anime would do concerning this episode, and it's **** in my opinion. A lot of things they have done were BS. Not that it was that bad for a normal episode, but for a episode of this importance, it was really bad man

 

[Chatte]

Really now I wonder, what's the thing with them. Why this bad animation? In part one was way better!

So true, at some point it even reminded me the Pain episode against kyubi :rofl:
