Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 132
Meeting The Six Paths Of Pain
Even though the first shots show the low production quality, giving me the immediate feeling this episode is going to be bad, the script quickly turns funny. After that, the fight proceeds nicely. It’s one of the rare Naruto episodes that manages to be really good without a huge budget.
And anyway, the animation does look nice in some scenes. The manga is portrayed nicely with Pa and Ma’s conversation being improved and really funny. The fight and Pain’s secrets are also well done and suspenseful as Jiraya uncovers more stuff.
The fight isn’t one of the most frenetic but, it’s well paced and intelligent. It ends with a nice cliffhanger, which doesn’t mean much to me but, still nice lol.
Also important, in this whole arc, it’s doing good in capturing the weird/bad feeling that Pain and his strange summons and techniques created in the manga.
Really liked this episode. It’s probably the first Shippuuden episode without a super budget that I’m rating 5. The next one seems really good too, can’t wait.
- Next Episode: The Gallant Tale of Jiraiya
yay!
