New opening an ending tonight!

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

So hey, I'm not doing a Shippuuden report tonight (I do plan to do them again, but I've been really busy since I moved), I thought I'd let y'all know about the new OP and ED.

So, some mild spoilers for what's going on in the anime.



The new op is really cute, I like the song. :3 It is very Team Asuma focused, and the beginning even makes Shikamaru pretty central. Of course, he is rather central to the rest of the plot. :D

So there is a lot of good footage of all the teams, Team Gai, Team Kurenai, Team Asuma. . . . What's really fun is seeing the credits roll with Sakura thinking of Tsunade, Team Asuma with the background of Sandaime's head from Hokage mountain, and then Naruto thinking of Sasuke naked.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

This opening is a lot less "HEY GUYS, THIS SHOW IS ABOUT NARUTO'S UNDYING LOVE FOR SASUKE" then the last one (YAY!), and we also get to see OMG Pein's lower face and Tobi and Deidara get good headshots as well. (YAYAYAYA TOBI!!!)

A lot of the shots are recycled from the last OP, not that I blame them entirely, but boo. I always look forward to new op animations!


random spoiler from the episode: Konoha thinks Deidara is dead. XDDDD Well, I guess by the time they'd have seen him again, he will be. . . .



Will update this post with ED endings when it airs!



This gets so edited, and rather lamely. They never show directly that Hidan's head is severed, though it is QUITE OBVIOUSLY seperate from his body.

Also: Shikamaru talks wayyyy too freaking much. And Hidan? Is hot and hilarious. XDDDD










The end theme is pretty sweet and sad guys. While the episode was pretty drawn out and I spent a lot of it ignoring Shikamnaru's blahblahblah, this was good.

It starts out with a pinwheel, and Kurenai looking emo. There is one shot of Naruto and Shikamaru (and another guy it looks, but I couldn't see who), and then shots of Ino, Sakura and Kurenai looking out windows looking emo. Well, imo, Kurenai has a reason. D:

Asuma and Kurenai are holding hands, and he disappeares, and is walkign away over a bridge. Really symbolic and sweet, and she watched him walk away while holding a pinwheel.

Guys, this was my ship. Bless, it has the best end theme ever.





Thanks to raisel for pointing out links she's found via Eccalaed. :D

PICS PLEASE.

Or I can wait an hour. I had the stream up, refreshed after a long day, put my feet on a cushion to watch the live stream- only to find that my internet connection died after the shot of the flowers near the beginning. Love the OP.

Cause Joe Inoue and his fashion sense is pure win.

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

XDDDD I am sorry, I watched it on tv so I have no pics. *fails* Will go and find videos asap though?

[raisel.livejournal.com]

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

:DDDDD!!!!

Thanks!

EEEEE, NEW OP/ED. I LOVE OPs/EDs! =D OMGYAY.

Please, internet, go back to full speed so I can once again get my anime fix. T-T

Thanks for sharing! =D Good luck with your move; I know it's a PAIN. I moved three years ago and my house still has, um, boxes. Stacked in the garage. Lots of boxes. So good luck! =D I know it sucks.

But I eagerly await your commentry again! =D And the ED endings. Are you... watching them live now? [/stupid question ^^;;]

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

Yes! Sorry. XDDD I originally stopped cause I was REALLY bored of making fun of Sora et all, and then I moved and ahaha. My new school actually makes me work, which is GREAT, but it leaves me tired and bahhh, I always feel so busy. /o/ I am moved, but my house still has boxes in every room, the only place fully unpacked is my kitchen.

Thanks, I will get to the summaries again, and yeah. Was totally watching them live, ahahahaha. :3

[jasmine-signet.livejournal.com]

-brain melts at mention of Sora- OH GOD THE PAIN THE MEMORIES BRING. -shudder-

Well, hope it goes well for you. =D

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA I know. D: I mean, for filler the story was pretty good (and was waaaayyyy more sensical then the Bleach filler where even Ichigo was like "WTF HAPPENED TO MEXICO AND THE ESPADA? WHY AM I IN JAPAN? WHAT? AHHHH!!" >> Yeeeeaaaahhhh. . . Naruto's wierd ass filler, while hilarious, was at least logical. In that ninja go on missions. \(*_*)/

[rhole.livejournal.com]

was at least logical. In that ninja go on missions. \(*_*)/

AHAHAHAHA THAT IS WHERE THE LOGIC ENDS.

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

YES WELL THERE IS THAT TOO.

[youkofox.livejournal.com]

*cries* Team Gai! <3333333
Ogod, even if it's TWO SECONDS, I'm totally happy to see them <33333

[vescas.livejournal.com]

you forgot to mention the hot Kotetsu and Izumo action we get to see!! Woohoo!

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Jeez Naruto, way to run REALLY SLOW at the end there. :B

Still, HOMG, super awesome opening! So much Shikamaru! And more than two seconds worth of Ino and Chouji, fuck yeah!

Ending on youtube now too :D

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

I've seen the episode, the opening is nice but standard! ^^
But the ending is really beautiful, finally it shows some het and Kurenai and Asuma clips were really touching. The song is so sad too ;__;

[jasmine-signet.livejournal.com]

"...finally it shows some het."

AHAHAHAHAHAHA TRUFAX.

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

Ok the ending makes me hate Kishimoto ;___; wryyyy

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

Aww, don't hate him. Just enjoy the bittersweet love story.


*offers you some Gai to make it better*

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

*is pacified*

[sanee-ftw.livejournal.com]

I LIKE SHIKAMARU'S "BLAH BLAH".

-emocut-

[ligtness.livejournal.com]

I had to watch the ED on mute.

Also, the title of the OP's song made me think of NIN.

[renai-spirit.livejournal.com]

I love the ED. I've been replaying it for a while now <3 It's really sad, though ]:
