[nightwolf888]

i hope this is the last do to with mecha naruto ,wethewr it be games , anime or whatever, at least we don't have to worry about it making it into the manga

Probably because the divisions of the studio swap jobs for every episode. Guess they have to keep the budget circleing between the expensive and the cheap ones. Not sure really.

It takes nearly 2 months to animate an episode, therefore to get an episode out every week they need to use around 6-8 different teams working on epiosdes.

By the way Mecha Naruto Special isn't the official title of those episodes, 366/367 will both have individual/different titles

Yeah I know, I'll edit it with the real titles when I see them. Also, are both episodes on the same day?

 

[123fire]

Omg!!! I feel like the episode titled"Kakashi Vs Obito" will have filler extented action plus the animator hiroyuki yamashita is used sometimes for long fights! Can't wait!!!! Kakashi Vs Obito GO!!!!
Edit: It turns out its saiko asai not takanagi artondriiis but he's good too

 

[crysis04]

Episode #379 has Atsushi Nigorikawa as director&storyboard, he is usually good with action episodes, but it is unknown who the animation director is

Thanks for the update, the anime is getting amazing again. This year had been great for the anime.

I can't wait for Kakashi VS Obito, that episode is gonna be sick. Hopefully the episode ends by Obito getting slashed by Minato, and a Obito begins to transform into the juubi Jin.
