[Spoilers] Naruto Shippuden Episode 364 :"The ties that bind" - Discussion

[LUMOS ULTIMATUM]

The animators were in the rush to cover three chapters and that's the reason they destroyed the whole moment of Deaths of some important people.
Neji's death should have become the main focus of this episode but was completely ruined.
The animation quality was perfect but the things which needed to be stuffed in there was too much and not properly managed.
Until Hinata's placing her hand on Naruto's cheeks, the background music was absent for most of the scenes where it was really needed.
After that the episode was good and touching because of the OSTs.
There should have be the WOW moments like
When Obito was warning madara.
When the Juubi came out of the pit. The scene should have done more quick than in a slow motion. Also the key developments in the Juubi could have been focused but it was ruined.
Also the blasts could have had focused as well.
The sad moments for Ino and Shikamaru was ruined (even if it was for few seconds)
Neji's death was horrible. The whole scene of getting pierced by the Mokuton Sashiki jutsu was ruined. What the hell are the animators thinking censoring all that stuff? They think we are 5 years kid who can't see blood? They are airing this kind of anime in Japan and still doubt the mentality of the viewers? It's too bad.

I would give it 2/5
(1 for animation quality)
(1 for Episode part everything after Neji's death)

Naruto shippuden anime is meant for 10-14 year olds, not for adults while the manga is meant for 12+.

Does that mean others shouldn't have the right to enjoy the anime?
The episodes which are aired on television are mostly edited and censored for the kids. But the animators are trying to avoid the "editing work" and making the original episodes more censored.

Wow, you're wrong.

Agreed

Wow, you're wrong.

Why am I wrong? Read ahhimane's post.

 

[A Leaf in The Wind]

This was a sad episode I almost cried by I was expecting the deaths since I also follow the manga. Totally loved how Obito was trying to convince Naruto and I'm sure if Hinata wasn't there he'd have fell for it.

I have a question: What's the name of the OST that was playing in the first few minutes of the episode before the Ten-Tails transformed?

Off screen are the worst, Neji should get all the attention he needs in this war to get this necessary buildup and some extra fighting scene before delivering his death which I expected to implement some filler padding but instead they screwed neji so badly along with the HQ deaths in one fricken episode.

They should've split the deaths into 2 episode so that way they don't rush leaving almost no emotional impact.

I really liked the episode. I was disappointed at Neji's death, he is one of my favorite characters. On the otjer hand my brother was practically cheering. But, Kishi pulled somethinf a lot of people don't do a killed off a main character.

My favorite part was Naruto holding Hinata's hand and funneling chakra to her. I'm a huge NaruHina shipper.

There are certain panels in the manga that I expect to see in the anime. I suppose Neji's death had to be censored to be less visually gruesome. There was an intimacy in the manga that didn't make it to the animated version. In the manga, it seemed that Neji jumped right above Hinata/Naruto when he blocked the attack.
On the other hand, I thought the silence during the destruction of HQ was perfect. 3/5
