Talking Naruto Shippuden

Shino is the absolute man in these next four episodes! Benel and Lawson review the Shino Vs. Konkurro fight, put over Shino huge and we go back and forth on the Hokage battle! There's a lot in just four short episodes and we cover it all! 

This episode is pretty...nice...as we watch episode 69 to episode 71. It's the great Hokage fight as Orochimaru and the Third Hokage go at it! And go at it they do. There's zombies, giant snakes, a talking monkey that does kung-fu and a pre-school fire drill! So much and the Anbu are fucking useless! 

It's an invasion angle! All the chickens have come home to roost in these three episodes as Sasuke (fucking Sasuke) and Gaara do battle before it all goes to hell. There are giant snakes and overconfident dudes with knives, and the Kazekage is so bitchy! All this and more on this episode! 

We're continuing the tournament arc part deux: electric boogaloo right off the heels of the Neji/Naruto bout with the Temari/Shikamaru match. Shikamaru proves that he's the Tetsuya Naito of this whole division while we get some sweet Chogi mouth-noise and then the show grounds to a halt while we literally sit around and wait for Sasuke to show up. So exciting! 

It's the first round of the second round of the Tournament arc and break time is over! It's Neji versus Naruto and we dig down deep at Neji's complicated relationship with the Hyuga clan, wonder what Kabuto is up to, and seriously the Onbu Black Ops are stupid. All this and more on Talking Naruto! 

It's Episode 57 - 59 of the Tournament arc filler episodes. We meet a giant toad and Momento the shit of Jiraiya. Yeah, he totally murdered those women! 

Goddammit, this show! Benel and Lawson slog through some filler episodes where Naruto repeats a lot of the same beats. Also, Jiraiya is still problematic af. 

Man, wasn't that Boko No Hero draft something?! Oh man, good times. Now, we're gonna watch the episodes that introduce Jiraiya and they're problematic AF. We also check in on Orochimaru and Kabuto as they figure out what they're going to do with Sasuke and Onbu Black Ops are still jobbers. 

It's Episode 50 of Naruto, so you know what that means! That's right, we're going to talk about another anime! Lawson and Benel speed-talk through the final stretch of the Lee-Gaara fight so they can draft characters from class 1-A of Boko No Hero. It's the best episode because it's a different podcast entirely! 

The show is cooking now, as Benel and Lawson talk about episode 46 through 49 and breakdown the Hinata vs. Neji fight and the beginning of the Rock Lee vs. Gaara. They also talk about how much better Boko No Hero Academia is! 

This week, Benel and Lawson talk about the next wave of tournament prelim matches including Shika/Girl Sound Ninja and Naruto/Kiba! There's a lot of tangents on this one! 

Out of the forest, into the fistfight! This episode, we start the Tournament Prelims (a.k.a the good part) and we're so excited for it that we have to stop dead to see what Sasuke is up to! We talk Sasuke vs. Dark Glasses Ninja, Shino vs. Jobber Ninja #2, Kankuro vs. Glasses Ninja and the main event, Sakura vs. Ino! Who will come out on top?! You already know, because it's a ten year old show and...

Super-sized episode this week as Lawdawg and The Problem finish up the second half of the Forest of Death arc. The boys talk about the various problems with Sakura in this episode, breakdown the effectiveness in Team Inoshikacho and mourn another jobber ninja as he is viciously murdered by a 13 year old. All this and more, believe it! 

Everyone is dying for this weekend! This week, Benel and Lawson go thorough the forest of death. Honestly? A lot of snakes are gonna get killed. We also find out what hidden secret Ako has and if she's fucks m8. Spoilers: Yeah, probably. 

You know what a high-action, magical ninja anime needs? A protract series of episodes about standardized testing! And that's exactly what you get. Lawson and Benel discuss the written portion of the Chunin exams? What do they learn from all this? Do they learn anything at all? What is up with the ninjas from the Hidden Sound village? How did Tenten get mirrors on the ceiling? All these questions a...

This week, Benel and Lawson talk about the Chunin Exam, we're introduced to a host of new characters including Gaara, Kokoro and the woman (she's Temari, but we never learn her name in the episode). Lawson and Benel also talk about how fucking great Rock Lee is (spoilers: He should be the main character) 

This week, Lawson and Benel talk about episode 10-15 of Naruto. 

From the hidden mist, Benel and Lawson emerge to talk about episode 6 through 9: The Hidden Mist arc. They discuss Naruto having character, rudiment over the coolness of Sabuza, lament Sakura's uselessness and expound upon Haku's non-binary status. Throw your wind shurikens at the same time on 3! 1...2...

It's a Thousand Years of Death as we learn about Naruto's episode 4 thorough 7, where we are introduced to Kakashi and the formation of Team 7! In this episode, Benel and Lawson go over why Kakashi is a child abusing sociopath, we discuss why Sakura is utterly useless and we shit on Sasuke some more! Join us, or we'll tie you up to a pole and tell people not to feed you.

On the first official episode of Talking Naruto, Benel and Lawson talk about the first episodes introducing Naruto, the village of Konoha and the lore of the world. They also discuss why everyone in Konoha hates the fuck out of orphans (seriously, it's weird) and we start burying Sasuke. 

Welcome to episode zero of Talking Naruto, an indepth look back at the simultaneously greatest and worst anime of all time. You're introduced to our host, Benel Germosen and Lawson Leong, and they give your background on what makes them such anime expert. It's the jumping on point for the new series. Don't miss it.
