Kakashi Gaiden Releasing in August!

[Steven]

The much anticipated anime adaptation of Naruto chapters 239 - 244 is set to be released in August on the American Naruto official website as part of their Japanese episode stream!!!

It was hinted by Shonen Jump on the SJ MySpace Website as their mood, here.

Refresh my memory.

Kakashi Gaiden has never been given an anime adaptation, right?

Correct =)

I'd be excited, but I'm just so disillusioned by Naruto as a whole by now that I simply can't bring myself to actually give a damn. They should've animated and released that thing a year ago, then I would've been the most excited of them all.

I'm sure the masses would agree ^_^;

I, for one, am thankful that something like this is showing. You know, revolving around an actually interesting character in Naruto.

Fans have been waiting, and will finally be served.

If anyone needs further proof, the latest news announcement posted by Bulbabot finishes with a statement about Pokemon not airing in Japan on July 30 because of a Naruto special. This is it.

I wonder why they decided to animate it now?

Perhaps a future plot revelation........

I doubt it. But anyways, it did turn out great; I thought the animation is better than had it been done with the same animation as the Naruto Part 1 series.

Actually I wish they add a bit of Minato in it.
