Naruto Shippuden Episode 306 "The Heart's Eye" – Discussion

[IKSOKRIPS]

4/5

+ Overall a good episode, and funny too.
+ Neji gave Hinata quite a beating.
+ Guy's move was awesome. Too bad it was to clear out the mist and not to hit the enemies. :yeah:

- It was a pretty damn, big accident Naruto and Sakura coming upon Neji and the doctors, and Kakashi and Guy finding them. hmm
- The whole, Valley of Judgement thing, was. . . . . . . . . you know, dumb. :erm:
- The Gentle Fist action was little. . . . . . . . . not as it should be.

Next episode we'll see Hayate, and we might see the Dance of the Crescent Moon technique.

PS: Why isn't this thread a Sticky? :'(

I liked the episode, it made me think that I used to like some fillers in Naruto (part 1). It had some funny moments which I kinda miss in Naruto. I'm really not that mad that there are so much fillers to come. But still I will be glad when it's May though, mostly because of Madara of course .

 

[yep]

I liked the part when Neji roflraped Hinata

 

[Hyuga Prodigy]

NEJI WAS AWSOME!!!! IM Gonna miss him =(

You know, I'm surprised how many people have seen saying stuff like "Fillers suck, go to hell Kishi" despite Kishi having nothing to do with the anime. I guess that shows how many people will complain about fillers despite not knowing what they actually are.

And you know, without fillers they would have to pace the anime as 1 chapter per episode, and in the end we would get something like One Piece (one of my favorite mangas ruined because of Toei's horrible pacing). I would rather have a 50:50 cannon-filler ratio then 100% dragged out garbage. Also, they only lose about 20-30% of their viewers during fillers, if they went on hiatus like a lot of you want them to then they would lose a lot of money.

I rated it 5 out of 5 simply because this filler rocks (this comes from a person who HATES fillers). The episode once again showed Neji's change in perspective of destiny - how he thought everything was decided before birth but then realises that you can change fate "with your own hands." It was so heartwarming to see Neji trying to help Hinata after he totally messed her up; it just conveyed his soft side. There were plenty of funny parts in this filler, such as the rope that tied Sakura and Naruto together. Too bad Neji chopped it off lol. Ohh and lets not forget when Gai gave head bumps to the three genins because he was impressed with their friendship! Makes me want to watch the old episodes of Naruto again!

Also this episode strengthened my view that Naruto should be with Hinata. I was always a NaruSaku fan, but recently I realised that Sakura is a total ***** because she doesn't recognise the values Naruto has. Naruto deserves a woman who always follow and support him, and that woman is Hinata.

Overall this filler was AWESOME! Next episode looks quite good as well.

Don't let it get to you, NB are full of ass Cheeks!

Fufufufufu, it wasn't that bad guys!!!

I give it a 3.95/5

I liked that episode a lot! It really made me see Neji in quite a different light on part 1 'cuz I never really saw his warm side much, which makes me miss that side of his. Showing silent love, not letting his sister know is really quite a distinctive feature of his. So, I'd really rate this episode and it's interesting story a 4 outta 5! Well done for the filler this time!

 

[hamer34]

hinata was abused

 

[GiantShuriken]

Awesome, the next episode will have Hayate and the hot purple haired anbu girl! woohoo!

 

[Thorium]

After a whole arc of fillers we get 7 plot related episodes but apparently we're back to filler episodes. You'd think they'd be focusing more on the plot since Naruto is coming to an end but I guess they're trying to squeeze out as much money/time as they can from the anime.

 

[AnimeTube7]

I'm tired of these fillers

 

[Hyuga Prodigy]

I wanna see more Neji =/

Do you realize it costs thousands of dollars to produce a single episode yet you're whining over something you get to watch for free? People ought to be more grateful. You're lucky at all you get to see a new episode each week rather than having to wait for them to translate it years later for american tv.

Very true. I don't know about the money part.

The movies make up for it.. plus, the manga makes good money.

Fillers? No, thanks.

I looked up this info and I will share it with you all:

According to an investigation by Media Development Research Institute Inc., a 30 minute episode of a TV anime in 2010 that totaled 11,000,000 yen (about US $145,214 at the current exchange rate) consisted of the following expenses:

(Note: All US dollar conversions are approximate based on current exchange rate.)

Original work - 50,000 yen ($660)
Script - 200,000 yen ($2,640)
Direction - 500,000 yen ($6,600)
Production - 2 million yen ($26,402)
Animation Supervision - 250,000 yen ($3,300)
Original Art - 1.5 million yen ($19,801)
Animation - 1.1 million yen ($14,521)
Post-production - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Art (backgrounds) - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Photography - 700,000 yen ($9,240)
Sound - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Materials - 400,000 yen ($5,280)
Editing - 200,000 yen ($2,640)
Printing - 500,000 yen ($6,600)

So even if they made money off fillers, they very well deserve it. For 4 episodes a month that costs nearly $600,000 to make. You can't depreciate that fact just because they make money off the manga and movies because producing those isn't dirt cheap either.

It wasn't a bad episode, and the next one looks interesting. I am okay with fillers, especially sense this war arc needs them to feel like a war.
