That music right am I right? The Zoldyck family theme everyone.

Also bout the needles Illumi was able to do that by utilizing the type of magic/powers this series has. Everyone has their own utilization of it & Illumi's style revolves around the use of needles to like fuck with biology.

Ah shit Naruto is entering the Jiraya's origin stuff.

You usually don't go into origin flashbacks like this so long after a character was introduced unless they're about to die.

I actually liked the idea of summoning badass critters in this show. It's a shame they became mostly irrelevant at some point.

The juxtaposition of watching Hx H and then Naruto. Like, I don't want to be a hater, especially since the first 2/3rds of Naruto had a lot of high points. It desperately needs a "Kai-recut" or re-adaptation though.

Become a great ninja to get some tail.

... Well, at least Jiraiya is honest about his goals.

[up] If you cut out most of the filler, the anime, while still plodding, would definitely be a lot more manageable.

Holy fuck Jiraiya is strong even at that age & Tsunade called him a pussy back then.

Like the fuck man?

Also the animals were really wasted, ya think Naruto would have used them more like against Neji.

[up][up][up]Honestly I think the Naruto anime (at least the pre-shippuden parts, which I actually watched) has a lot of problems. It's plagued with Off-Model shots, filler, flashback padding, etc. My brother actually ragequit the anime during the Sasuke vs Gaara fight when one of the episodes was almost entirely recapping the previous one without much of any progress being made.

Hunter x Hunter is more or less a masterclass adaptation in comparison. Whatever criticisms can be made of it, it very rarely wastes the viewer's time like that and has an extremely consistent visual quality matched by few anime.

Lionheart, I agree about a Kai-esque recut of Naruto.

"Singularly pervy." That is... quite the apt description for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's gonna "meet other people." (*wink* *wink*)

Jiraiya really was a cool guy. Its honestly amazing how much he matured as a person really.

Also as I recall every person Jiraiya meets in this episode will become one of Pains corpses.

@ Alpha: G'night! smile

@ slim: Yeah, it's a shame that, when he's interacting with Naruto, the scenes tend to emphasize his pervy qualities more due to Naruto's perspective. Take that away, and Jiraiya is a really mellow and philosophical dude who'd be cool to hang out with.
