Talking Naruto Shippuden

Happy July 4th! As a special treat, we're releasing the Maile Flanagan interview we did to Patreon. We go over Maile's career, her origins in improv, voice acting and Naruto! Believe it! 

Oh where did my fishy went? Where did my fishy go? Oh fishy fish fish fish. Oh fishy oh. What I mean is, Benel and Lawson talk about the Demon of the Sea arc of Naruto and we go off the rails as we try to wrap our minds around the Village hidden in the sea, Ako's flashback, what's Shino doing, and the mysterious diver girl that the team meets. Splish-Splash guy! Get in the pool, the water is wet!

What is up with the Leaf Village and it's weird anti-refugee stance? Benel and Lawson investigates this episode as they wrap up the Cursed Warrior arc! Plus, they make some noodles with Ramen Guy at Ichiraku in the Chogi/Naruto one-off! 

Yes, we're surprised as you are by this title. This next set of fillers are actually well done and pretty interesting plotted episodes revolving around the Land of Birds and the mystery of the Cursed Warrior, a ghostly specter that haunts the leaders of the village. There's a lot of cool intrigue and mystery in these set and we hope you enjoy them with us!

Lawson and Benel battle through more fillers, with episode 161 being a ridiculous "Rock Lee"/"Mighty Guy" gag episode and episode 162 setting up a pretty interesting intrigue arc involving a ghostly warrior. 

He's Gatsu! And there's a lot that happens in three quick fillers. We have a good for nothing Naruto taking Konohamaru's team for a training exercise and we meet the bounty hunter Sazanami, who is chased by Gatsu! The World's Most Boisterous Bounty Hunter! 

Welcome to another episode and another filler arc. This week, we couldn't wait to get through with it, so we watched four episodes instead of three, wrapping up the Raiga arc. Neji Byakugan is fucking useless. Rock Lee eats a lot of curry. Ten-Ten hates the disabled. What the hell is with this Ramenru? And what does anyone wants? Who knows! These are a bad series of episodes and they just keep going! Enjoy

This week, Lawson and Benel wrap up the Bikochu arc with some insights about the really good animation style, talk about how bees make sticky wax (they do) and Naruto's gas ruined everything. Nothing gets accomplished in these fillers! 

Shino is back and he's helping Naruto look for the Bikochu! Maybe he can help benel with the bed of bees he sleeps on, but probabaly not! This is the best filler arc so far which doesn't say much but hey, at least Shino is there.

We wrap up the Prison Break arch in style with Lawson and Benel trying to figure out what Mizuki wants, thoughts on Fuijin/Raijin, Tsunade's home care and Mizuki becomes a fucking tiger and Benel does not deal with it well.
