NARUTO: Shippuuden - Episode 48

Oh god, I don’t know what to laugh more about– the constipated look Yamato had, the cheesy music at the height of Naruto’s little speech, or the extra after the episode. To be fair, I actually really liked Naruto’s speech, and I LOL’ed so hard at the scene with Naruto sitting on the toilet in the extra, with that angel chorus in the background xDDDD There’s no saving that look, though– that’s just plain bad art.

I can also go on and on about the pointless flashbacks, and there honestly has to be a rule about using a particular flashback every other freaking week, or the way they slowed things down (Kabuto took forever to get there, ne?), but I do that every week. Oh, damn, I did it again here. Ah, well. Me saying it constantly is as old as them doing it every week. The Tsubasa OVAs go through an entire volume in a single episode for crying out loud.

(And yes, I know it’s because it is an OVA that they can do that, but still @_@)

But, all in all, it was an okay NARUTO episode after the one week break it took last week. That extra really saved it for me. It looks like we’ll finally catch up with episode 1 next week, if all things go well. I keep on thinking they get to know Sai’s real mission, but it’s not happening yet~!!

And I think Sai’s wrong– Sasuke cares a lot about Naruto. The fact that he got so pissed that Sai kept on mentioning Naruto last episode meant it was a very touchy subject for him…and it wouldn’t be touchy unless Naruto still meant something to him. And my god, they’re really trying to show Oro-freak’s a pedo. But now that Sai knows why his picture book is so important, he’ll want to protect bonds, and…I’ll stop talking least I spoil manga non-readers.

    OMG, the music during Naruto’s speech was so cheesy. I was watching it with my brother, and when that scene started, we looked at each other and broke out laughing simultaneously.
    Yeah, they’re getting very suggestive with regards to Oro. The scene with naked Sasuke in the OP doesn’t help…

    Really? I didn’t think the music was so cheesy … actually, I think I was sleeping when they played that part.

    Julia: Haha, glad I’m not the only one. Maybe I’m not young enough to feel so enpowered by such music anymore xDD Haha, seriously, Sasuke naked is great and all, but not with Oro-freak xDD Really, what are they thinking?

    ShadowFang: ROFL. I’m not surprised you fell asleep. Actually, I think I’m more surprised more people don’t just fastforward the episode. But I admire your attempt to watch it! xP
