Well i've just seen the episode, and i think it was great.The original story line has come back, so unlike the filler episodes, there will actually be some development, and this is noticeable right from the beginning, as the episode jumps into the deep end, and shows a confrontation between the three main characters Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, but as the scene ends the opening credits run and thats the last time we see of that confrontation in this episode.
I'm guessing they're leaving this scene for a later episode, because it is such a big part of the anime, this annoyed me a little, as i wanted to know what happens, but i can see why they did it, as they want to bring back viewers who may have stopped watching naruto over the past year, and creating a bit of tension between the main characters will help to do that.
After the opening credits the episode seems to jump back a
period, which sees naruto return to the village after a 2 and a half year absence, where he was training with Jiraiya, And the rest of the episode naruto just reminises about how times use to be, and visit areas which brings back nostalgic memories to them, (and they say nostalgic a lot in this episode) so there are quite a few flashbacks, and you get to see some other characters all grown up.
Another part of the story sees a couple of the Akatsuki organisation, go to the sand village, this shows more development as it has something more relevant to the main story, which i liked. We aren't intoduced to these characters yet but i'm sure they will be introduced soon, possible the next episode.The episode ends with Sakura and Naruto begin a duel with kakashi, like before Naruto and Sakura have to try and get the bells off Kakashi (like they did oh so long ago, but without sasuke) to prove they have improve their skills over the past 2 years.
There have been other changes like the music, there is more opera style music used in this episode which makes those scenes more epic, the beginning and end credits have new music as well, which i'm sure will grow on, at the moment though i think it is OK. can't wait for the next episode.
