Naruto Shippuuden episode 310

Yay! It’s Naruto Shippuuden time! Who’ll join me in my jump off a very high bridge? It’s fillers like these that turn people into murderers. I, too, got the urge to pick up an axe, put on working gloves and find the nearest police station for a good ol’ killing spree.

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 310 [720p].mkv_snapshot_11.08_[2013.04.25_23.28.24]I’m not going to let myself get aggravated by this any further. I am therefor stopping my Naruto Shippuuden reviews until the main story picks up again, which should be in about five to six weeks from now. Eight to nine weeks of fillers, even though we endured quite a few already this year… Why? Why must thy torment us so.

Also, I’m skipping the fillers because the stories are dropping in quality. I actually skipped through this episode after watching three minutes of it. I get really bored and I simply couldn’t take much more of this. Too bad…

Naruto Shippuuden episode 309

Great, another series of fillers… Just what I’ve been waiting for. Obvious sarcasm aside, what about the rest? Are we going to get more of these worthless side stories? It’s bad enough that they’re trying to squeeze in more comedy than usual during times of war…

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 309 [720p].mkv_snapshot_01.03_[2013.04.18_23.33.43]I know I’m badmouthing Naruto Shippuuden a lot lately (because they deserve it right now), but even I must admit that this episode was a bit better than the last few. It had a new, interesting character that kept us entertained for a few minutes. Sure, we went back to the past again, but at least we’ve met an interesting character.

I don’t know how many more fillers we will have to endure, but it’s almost guaranteed that the next two or three episodes are going to be fillers. Watch, we have to endure quite a few fillers right now, after which the main story picks up again for about six to nine weeks, until a new batch of fillers air. You’ll see…

Naruto Shippuuden episode 308

Why? Why do you give us more fillers at this point? Why are we forced to watch this crap when we’ve just had to watch a few months’ worth of fillers? The manga is so far ahead, yet next week it’s going to be another filler. The week after that probably too.

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 308 [720p].mkv_snapshot_13.08_[2013.04.11_21.40.44]At least this week’s battle ended. That undead proctor and his two henchmen got sealed pretty quickly. That means that Kabuto will have to look elsewhere for strong pawns. Not that it matters, that guy needs to be taken care of soon. His Justsu complicates things for the Allied Shinobi Force. It makes their job, which is already impossible to begin with, even harder.

There’s only one thing that keeps my spirit up at this point; I want to see the confrontation between Itachi and Sasuke. A warm deadly brotherly moment where the one tells the other about what happened. I’m not a huge fan of looking back at the past, but I’m definitely interesting in seeing that.

Naruto Shippuuden episode 307

This is going to be a tough one. Not because I’m having trouble deciding if it was good or not, because I already came to the conclusion that it wasn’t, but because I’m having a hard time deciding if I’m supposed to call this episode yet another filler or if it contained some value.

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 307 [720p].mkv_snapshot_08.36_[2013.04.04_23.02.06]I’m slightly feverish and I feel as though I’m about to crap my awesome username in full, so I’m going to keep this short and simple; I am not satisfied. I’m a big fan of watching a few scenes of a character’s past, but they have to have value, they must have something to do with the future. Why would I care about how that nameless proctor died during the early Naruto episodes?

It’s not that it didn’t have any value, it just seems like more of a side story. Having an undead proctor and a few other puppets steal elite Shinobi’s dead bodies would be okay for a regular filler, because we all know what Kabuto is going to do with those bodies, but it seems kind of lame right now. We only recently endured quite a few fillers, so what the hell? I’m very doubtful about next week’s episode…

Naruto Shippuuden episode 306

Naruto Shippuuden time… Oh wait, not it’s not. It’s filler time! Sure, why not get a kick in the family jewels. It happens to all of us every now and then. Too bad it happens too much in Naruto Shippuuden. It really lowers the overall standard.

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 306 [720p].mkv_snapshot_09.44_[2013.03.28_22.36.04]Forget about watching a good, action-filled episode. Why not watch a crappy flashback episode instead? Why not watch as the once super-shy Hinata made her way through a world of violence? Yeah… Boring! I couldn’t even stay focussed. I actually had to skip a few minutes so that it would end sooner.

This was a kick in the balls because we had to endure many fillers until a few weeks ago. Having them air another batch of them this soon is just unacceptable, so I hope that next week’s episode will be focussed on the war once more.
