Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 40-41
This one-hour special had a, not so good, first half and an awesome second one.
The first episode was really lacking in animation quality. It was also stretched to the maximum, not with added dialog but with a lot of face staring that lasted a lot more than it should. There were also some added flashback scenes with Naruto and Jiraya. Still , I don’t know if it’s because of the music or because the situation at this point is really awesome, but this episode still made me feel a lot of tension.
The second half, or episode 41, was a lot better than the first. You could really notice the difference in the drawings. Some scenes like the one where Kabuto got blasted away were really cool. The scene of Naruto being overtaken by the Kyubbi, that only took about 5 panels in less than two pages in the manga, added a lot of footage, but it helped improve the dramatic feel of Naruto going berserk.
Sai’s original mission is also put into play. It seems like he really doesn’t care for his teamates.
This special didn’t progress very much with the fight between Naruto and Orochimaru. The anime seems to be waiting for the next episode to deliver the complete awesome fight. Judging from the preview, it seems the next episode will be nicely animated, if enough to be as good as episode 26, I don’t know, but let’s hope :)
Looking forward to next one!
that’s great
