Worth it, lots of fillers though

Naruto uncut box set 8 is well worth the money, it has a lot of fillers and the battles seem to drag on for a while, but all in all it's worth it and there's some good action in it! August 11, 2008

Conclusion of the Tsunade/Sannin arc

The Naruto Uncut Box Sets are THE best anime box sets ever done! I used to hate on Viz for the way they strung out InuYasha, but this makes up for that in spades. Vol. 8 has the same excellent design and 3 discs with the included sketch book pertaining to an episode in the box set. To make things clear I'm talking about the regular box set, not the one with the figures.
The first disc deals with the conclusion of the Sannin arc, where we get pure shonen fighting action almost along the lines of the Third Hokage versus Orochimaru. Despite the much weaker, though still somewhat entertaining other episodes in this set, the first disc should be enough of a reason to buy this disc. Naruto is much less prominently featured in this set, but the trade off is that you get to see three legendary characters have at each other for the first and only time. If you've watched Naruto up to this point and are buying these box sets instead of the single volumes that they are putting out, then you are pretty informed and probably just need a nudge in the right direction. So I say buy this despite the filler episodes, because the conclusion of this arc is necessary thing. For newer lovers of Naruto, I highly suggest starting off with the first two volumes of the Uncut boxes and working your way up to this point, where the story is still very good and entertaining.

A must-have...

This boxset is a "Must-have" for all Naruto fans, as it contains the Earth-trembling battle between the three legendary Sannin. It has the perfect balance between storyline construction and action sequences. I highly recommend this boxset and can't wait for #9 to be available!
Cheers

spotlight

on Lady Tsunade who is in line to become the 5th Hokage, if she can get over her well known losers streak when it comes to gambling and skipping out on her debts. She's one heck of a fighter but has a slight issue with the sight of blood and this in explained and all other things about her dark and storied past. It makes for a great addition to this series along with her and Master Jiraiya's battle with the ever evil and seriously wacked out Orochimaru who's still got an issue or two with a few people.

Its heck of a battle as she fights to save Naruto who's had his own battle with Orochimaru's flunkee Kabuto (talks 2 much for me). Excellent volume and leaves off on a good note for the start of the next volume, well worth your money and minus an episode or two that could've been left out. It's very entertaining as well.
