The first two episodes of the Naruto Shippuden came out last night. Julie, Pat and I went to another ASICer's room to download and watch it. We saw an episode of MST3K while we waited, and the ep actually didn't take that long to DL. Finished right as MST was over.
And to reiterate...
Holy. Poop.
There are no words to describe how incred-fucking-bly awesome it was. First of all the first like eight minutes are the MOST AMAZING ANIME SEQUENCE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. The animation is utterly to die for. The new character designs are amazing. It follows canon while managing to squeeze in some bits and pieces here and there, but in a good way. The soundtrack QUITE LITERALLY gives Cowboy Bebop a run for it's money (you should all know by now that CB is the candle I hold all anime to). There were parts where I actually squealed. At 2AM.
It's like the creators sat down and were like, "Okay, how much Awesome can we pack into only one hour?" The first eight minutes could stand alone, despite the fact that there's no context. You kind of forget about context somewhere amidst the squee-ing.
In short, this first installment of the new Naruto reaffirms why Naruto is my favorite anime of all time.
