Another solid season volume of Naruto!
Hello there, it's me again. It looks like they are now upping the price of these volume sets (...greedy capitalists...grrr...), but I still say buying these sets is a better deal than buying the single volume dvds. Anyway, on to the review!
Like the other volumes, this one contains both English and Japanese versions with subtitles. As this is the uncut version there is more blood, violence and swearing than originally aired on television. This set covers episodes 79-100 (28 episodes). The first two episodes finish up the Naruto Vs. Gaara match from the last volume as well as the Orochimaru Vs. The Third Hokage fight.
The next arc features the return of Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother and the one that Sasuke has sworn to kill for murdering their entire clan. Meanwhile, Naruto and Jiraiya head out to find Tsunade, who is to become the next Hokage of the village, which is the main goal of the next arc.
In the next arc, Naruto begins his training to...
Official Naruto for Cheap
Like the previous box set volumes, this one is Naruto for a cheaper price. This volume has 26 episodes (Episodes 53-78) in both English and Japanese (with subtitles). As this is the uncut version, there is mild swearing and more blood than originally shown when this show aired on television. And again, the special features/extras aren't anything to rave about.
This particular volume covers many different arcs because so many different things are happening at the same time.
The first arc is the introduction of Jiraiya and his training Naruto in summoning a toad. I will admit, as wonderful as Jiraiya's character is, this part is a little slow at first but it does pick up speed towards the end.
The next arc is the Third Part of the Chunin Exams: The Final Rounds. We have Naruto vs. Neji, and Shikamaru vs. Temari, two excellent matches. And then the beginning of the long waited Sasuke vs. Gaara match up...
...which carries over into the...
Great Arc
I'm a huge Naruto fan. I've read all the manga and watched all of the English dubbed episodes that are out so far. This arc especially is one of my favorites. We meet Jiraya and we get to see the Chunin Exam tournament unfold. I was very satisfied with this box set. Plus you get double the amount of episodes for the same price as the original box set! I also love the uncut versions. It is very obvious that this show was not meant for kids because of the blood and the swearing. All in all great set. The only thing I don't like about it is there's a lot of filler and some episodes can drag on.
