Heh, 26 episodes, I wish..... (it was actually handled in 32, btw  ) And even then, it was about as long as the hidden mist village arc, wansn't it? And that was 19.... So yeah, not handled very well at all if you ask me.  Although I will give it to you that there were some episodes in not only that arc but the Sasuke/Sai arc as well that were handled quite Excellently, I'll give you at least that. It's just the rest that were handled horribly is all......
But yeah, I think you're right, it should get back to pretty good pacing after the filler arc is over. In fact I'm starting to believe that was the initial purpose of the filler in the first place, to make it so it won't have to keep going at this glacial pace any more.

I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it should surprise anyone AT ALL that this movie preview depicts Naruto and Sasuke as "close" on any level, except be it as a "hey, this movie is about Naruto and Sasuke! That's unexpected for a Naruto movie....." type of reaction. I mean, it's been made VERY obviously clear all the way up to this point in the series just how close a bond they have. But then again I couldn't see the video for some reason, so I wouldn't know.

No, no, I meant the 26th episode FTW. You know, the one where the final 7 minutes suddenly raised the animation budget and went completely "massive war" style with Chiyo's 10 puppets and Sakura taking on Sasori's 100 puppet army. Easily one of the best Naruto fights ever.

Does the text that says April 19th mean that's when it goes on DVD?

This movie is just being made in order to attract all of the fan boys and girls that drool over Sasuke. It's a filler film, and totally irrelevant to the essential story of Shippuden.

You realize Sasuke has only appeared in 2 of the 5 Naruto movies so far (counting this one), and has only appeared in 4 or so episodes of the entirety of Naruto Shippuden so far? Not to mention was absent for the majority of the last two arcs of Part 1.
For the 2nd main character, Sasuke is actually pretty under-used. But now they're focusing more on him in the manga, and the fanbase is in an uproar. Sheesh.

Oh heh heh, forgive my misunderstanding then. Yeah, that was indeed an awesome episode.

Well I don't know if I'd say he's that underused, but yeah, no kidding.........  I still to this day and probably never will understand why people actually think Sasuke's more of a main character than Naruto. I mean yeah, pretty much the only reason why he got so much focus in that last arc is because he's barely had any focus at all in part 2 up until that point. Nothing more, nothing less.
