Favorite director Toshiyuki Tsuru takes the helm for a movie that... we didn't like at all. Uh oh.
Rock Lee needs to recover from his injuries, or maybe he doesn't, or maybe thats not a real thing that anybody needs to worry about, or maybe it is. Unrelatedly, there's a ghost castle.
That silly Rock Lee episode is innocent. The rest of this stuff? Well...Covered this week: Naruto episodes 191-193
It's a disorienting recording session as we struggle to find the balance between recognizing that most of our episodes this week basically mostly work and trying to avoid getting overly astonished at the fact that, at long last, some episodes b
This week we're blessed with a short recording on account of being cursed by two episodes where nothing of note or interest happens at all. But then there's a third one, a brief shining ray of hope that maybe- just maybe- this show will be good
This week our time in the Land of Stars come to a close as the arc hurries to rush us out before its entire narrative collapses, and we return to the Leaf for a one off episode that is just close enough to what we've been asking for to make us
The mission to the Village Hidden in the Stars continues, as we try to puzzle through our feelings on a peculiar mixture of classic anime original problems, the weirdly absent particulars of this arc's setting, and glimpses of a surprising thou
We return from an unplanned illness based hiatus, diving headfirst, with gusto, into some pretty bad episodes of Naruto. Its time to learn just how little a fake teamwork test mission can matter, encounter the ninja world's allegedly very impor
The conclusion to an arc we enjoyed gives us just enough cause to reflect on how it fell short that we worry we're a little too mean, but fortunately the next two episodes come along to remind us what REALLY complaining about Naruto is all abou
The mission in the Land of Sea continues, as fleeting glimpses of the actual antagonist of Naruto so far give way to a real fuckin dweeb who stands proudly and shortsightedly in his shadow. Listen as we talk about fish guy armies, try to root t
We're all over the place this time! Our ghost adventure skids to a halt, we head back to the Hidden Leaf for a truly worthless gag episode, and then move on to the introduction of a brand new arc which charms us largely through the virtue of so
The goofy ghost mystery arc hits a rocky stretch as we slam head-first into variably avoidable problems. Can enthusiasm for lighthearted genre sendups hold up our engagement in the face of increasingly severe structural issues? Probably not, bu
Folks. Sometimes there is just no way around it and you have some Scooby-Doo bullshit going on. But is that such a bad thing? After a truly disposable first episode, we head to the Land of Birds for a ghost-based mystery and talk about taking o
We step back from six episode arcs to finish everything we start in the span of a week. Join us as we take on a weird and aimless attempt at standard kids show "everybody learns a lesson by the end of the episode" and a breezy two episode adven
We are back, and stronger than ever! The same can unfortunately not be said of the show. We do our best to chart the conclusion of the tale of Raiga, Ranmarua, and Karashi which somehow covers three more episodes in spite of basically being
A new arc pits Naruto and an unsupervised Team Guy against a new and dangerous sicko, and gives us cause to think about just how hard it must be to balance anime-original stories that ultimately can't matter but still need to have in the moment
Hinata's bug quest comes to an end! Can they cash the checks they wrote at the beginning of the arc? Can they wrap things up without undercutting her ability to do anything? Can they justify Naruto's presence in the arc? Listen for the answers
We settle in for the first of a duo of comparatively light episodes as we step forth into a new (shorter than usual) arc. All seems promising as the show takes a strong step towards incorporating its supporting cast in a meaningful way, but a n
Naruto is back in his second movie, with ambitious ideas like gesturing at parts of the world beyond ninjas, more involved arcs for the movie only cast than last time, and trying to make Shikamaru cool! After 60 minutes of truly bad Naruto last
Our landmark 50th episode sees us through to the conclusion of the Mizuki arc! These may be a bad three episodes but with new revelations about Mizuki's past that adamantly refuse to complicate his character, further elaborations on the arcs th
Putting all that Fuma clan business behind us, we head back to the leave for a brand new adventure much closer to the Hidden Leaf, with a different assortment of guys and the return of an old foe - that one guy from the first episode of Naruto!
The back half of our first arc in this new era comes with a surprising uptick in production quality, but can the story cohere to match? Don't trouble yourself with that. Instead, join us in celebrating Orochimaru's ability to be the funniest ch
After two lonely, Naruto-less months, the Konoha Crush duo returns for a bold new era of anime original Naruto action! Marvel as we pore over the few details we get about the land the Hidden Sound is (ostensibly) located in! Thrill at this week
It all comes to a head in the valley of the end, as Atsushi Wakabayashi’s best episode yet sets the stage for the conclusion of the first part of Naruto. We’ve got everything you need this week: hard hitting commentary like “Norio Matsumoto is
Sasuke buckles down to get sad and angry about a few more things and then this time, for real, for sure, the boys are fighting! Meanwhile, we lodge a few more complaints about Sasuke’s dad before he dies on screen again, try to discern how soli
