Really? the animation has become so lazy that I've all but given up on it. Heck they've already animated the fight I wanted to see and it sucked horribly...though still not as bad as the Naruto vs Pein fight.

did they switch studios or something?

The animation at the beginning of part 2 was great and at one point (can't recall when exactly, the Pein fight is where it becomes really obvious), the animation changed.

but yeah, i watch it because it's still a better way of determining what happens in some of the more poorly drawn manga scenes.

It reached its apex during the Kakashi and team Shika vs. Kakuzu and Deidera fight, and then descended in quality a little bit up to Sasuke/Killer Bee fight. Past that point, the animation took a massive nose-dive in quality, to what we have today.

I was watching one of the newer fights, and I noticed that some of the more graphics-heavy scenes had a lot of CGI in it. That signifies to me that they probably changed to a cheaper studio.

edit- I would probably still watch the anime just for the fact that they make the fights longer and more exciting than the manga, if it wasn't for the shit animation.

I would look past the shitty artwork (gawd, that Naruto-Pein fight), if only because I like some of the music they use for their battle scenes.

He already cursed us...by him speaking those unholy words, we are all doomed to 100+ non-cannon episodes of Naruto that leave us with a strong desire for something better.

Sooooo the unholy of all words were spoken and we dread the future, that this will come true! Ooh God help us..

Stoopid anime. Well they're on Gaara vs Trollkage now so I might check that out but, I've been disappointed twice already. Madara's future don't look to bright.

hurrrghhh

The last one gets me every time.

God, they really ****ed up that fight.

You know the meteor that hit Russia? Sooooo, apparently there's a rumor about the U.S. and how we have a new weapon like meteor, which we shot at Russia.. We all know the truth don't we? Madara really works for the U.S.!

chapter's out

Spoiler:
meh.

hashi appears to be a sage, though

The chapter in a nutshell.

Spoiler:
Madara's Biju/Susanoo bomb reminded me of Naruto's rasenshuriken.

Hashi's hand tech reminded me of tech Asuma's bald buddy used against Hidan and Kakuzu.

because of the markings on his face?

I thought it was just him using rebirth like Tsunade.

Yea, seems similar.

This battle of gods is pretty fun to read admittedly. There are some narmy moments though and some of the action can get a bit confusing. Need to wait for Mangastream so I can see it better.

Spoiler:
Kid Hashi and Madara were adorable.

Yay, flashbacks to make the villain look sympathetic!

Well yeah. It's Naruto. That's pretty much what Kishi does.

Except for Hidan and Deidara. Kakuzu's backstory became sympathetic since in hindsight it seems downright cruel to expect him to be able to kill Hashirama.

I liked the chapter, if only because the action was good. Just wish Kishi hadn't put a flashback within another flashback, without resolving it.
Really wanted to see what that huge-ass construct of Hashirama's could do, especially since it dwarfed Kurama w. Susano'o.
