End of the fillers/Anime Schedule

[totalNightmare]

Just to clear that the information on ANN (AnimeNewsNetwork) is false. ^^ Here's the real schedule.

No episode on March 18th.
152-153. Naruto's Tears! A Oath to Recover (March 25th)

ホタル護衛の任務から帰還したナルトは、イタチとの遭遇を回想していた。
そんな折、彼は火影邸に呼び出され、衝撃的な事実を耳にする。
一方、捕らえた八尾をトビに引き渡したサスケは、傷をいやした後、木ノ葉に向かうと告げる。

Naruto remembers his encounter with Itachi and, as he returns to Konoha, he hears about the shocking news of Jiraiya's death. Sasuke delivers the Eight-Tails to Tobi and heads out to Konoha.

No episode on April 1st.

154-155. Walking the Teacher's Path! Senjutsu Training Begins! (April 8th)

自来也の遺した暗号を解読したナルトたちは、ペインの謎を解くべく
フカサクを呼び出すが、その情報だけでは解明が困難だとわかる。
自来也の敵を討とうと焦るばかりのナルトに、フカサクは妙木山で仙術の修業を行なうことを提案 する。

Naruto deciphers the code about Pain, but can't exactly figure what it means. Since Pain will most likely attack soon, Fukasaku meets with him and asks him to undergo the training Jiraiya did a long ago... To learn Senjutsu, a technique based on the use of Nature.

So yea, there's 2 specials coming with 2 breaks inbetween.

Animation Directors for the next episodes:

152: Aohachi Yoshinobu (New)
153: Kawai Shigeki (Good)
154: Kobayashi Yukari (Bad)
155: Tokura Eiichi (Bad)

So, enjoy. `!:)

[Hidden Ninja45]

Two specials in a row? It's great that we will be ending the filler, but since it's a special, we'll have to wait longer for it to start.

[Kuroda Taishi]

source?

[brunz]

i'd like to see the source as well =/

[Sasuke]

Source please, for both the episode listing and the artists. Also this might be a stupid question, but do the animators of Naruto hand draw, or use a program on the computer?

[kokojojo]

lol i like how you put whether the director was good or not in brackets. im afraid im also gonna have to ask for source too

[totalNightmare]

The information was obtained directly from Japanese guides.

TVガイド買ってきた
3/11 371話「師弟」
3/18 ポケモンSPで休止
3/25 ナルト1時間SP

ナルト1時間SPのキャストに杉山(サスケの声優)と近藤(水月の声優)があるから
やっぱ371話で六尾編終わりっぽい
1時間SPは自来也の死~雷影登場までかな

No episode on the 18 of March due to a Pokemon special. There's also a Pokemon special on the 1st of April according to TVTokyo.

I know it is hard to believe since I'm new here, but I can tell you I'm saying no lies. ^^ The info on ANN is the one without sources and that can be added by almost everyone.

And it's easy to judge most of the animators, since most of them already did a ton of episodes on Shippuuden. The difference is we're getting 3 new animation directors this time. If you wanna know who did what, just ask. ^^

But for the info, Shigeki Kawai has done key animation in a ton of episodes, including 120, 125, 133, 137, 143, and 144.

Eiichi Tokura worked on 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 89, 98, 106, 114, 122, 130, 139, 146.

Yukari Kobayashi worked on 78, 87, 96p1, 104, 112, 119, 128, 136, 145.

[kokojojo]

so we're missing a week of naruto shippuden because of pokemon?

[totalNightmare]

so we're missing a week of naruto shippuden because of pokemon?

It's not the first time it happens. lol Pokemon airs before Naruto on Japan so, when one of them has a special, the other gets a break.

[flamie_chan]

Finally, we can go back to watching the real story soon.

[Cyberman]

Does anyone know the names of the next 152,153,154, episodes?

[totalNightmare]

Does anyone know the names of the next 152,153,154, episodes?

Not known yet, but I'll post them when they're out. `:)

[kokojojo]

is this from a jap forum?

[brunz]

probs from the TVTokyo site i assume

[totalNightmare]

is this from a jap forum?

Yes, info from reliable japanese viewers. They've never fooled us before so, most people believe in those sources.

And yeah, I knew from TVTokyo that there's going to be a special on April 1st with Pokemon, thus not airing Naruto on that day.

[totalNightmare]

[totalNightmare]

definitley fake the next ep is somber news, in the preview there's no special announced but they do everytime when a special comes.

So, the official information from Japanese magazines is now fake? Seriously.

And again, THERE'S NO EPISODE THIS WEEK!

There's wasn't a preview for the special since you probably watched the streaming version and not the TV one.

[kokojojo]

doesnt every ep have a next ep preview?

[naruto88]

sweet can't wait now people
