Okay, the review thread is a little bit earlier this week, because Canada gets Naru-Spoiled tonight! YTV is airing the new episode 25 hours earlier than Toonami, and as long as YTV doesn't delay their progress for 1 week, in the next few weeks we'll have episodes 23 hours and 30 minutes before you do permamently!

But you have to wait through an entire marathon to get to see this one, so if you have any New Years partying you want to do, make it a Naruto themed party, or just watch Dick Clark at 10.

So let's just get on with the show, shall we?

YTV Airdate: December 30th 2005, 9:30
Toonami Airdate: December 31st 2005, 10:30
Title: "White Past: Hidden Ambition"

You wanted more Demon Fox Naruto? This is your specifically lucky week! So, will the battle finally end tonight, or will we have to wait through more origen from Mr. "I'm a Boy"? Whatever happens, you'll have to find this out right before you take a dip in the pool (if you know what I mean), or watch more new years specials, and prepare for the final countdown!

Happy New Year, and discuss when ready!

Cut and Paste from ToonZone, I am so lucky that from now on, we get world dub premieres!

FINALLY! HE BROKE THEM!!! Okay, with his Demon Fox Finesse he was able to break those crystal ice mirrors in only a grand total of... 5 episodes. Some of the best anime animation I had ever saw was in this episode, and here I will also list my top 3 best animated anime episodes of 2005:

1. Naruto #17
2. Zatch Bell - The Dark Mamodo
3. Pokemon - Once in a Mawille

All the visuals of him in Demon Fox form (espically the fuzzy greyscale ones) were simply amazing! But still, this episode just needed a bit more demon fox in it ([spoil]when does his demonic fox form appear again?[/spoil])!

But after all that, this was simply another origin episode, and you didn't realize that the "girlyboy" you thought was prettier than Sakura is who you were fighting until now! Now, she wants to be killed? Wow, Viz is really shaky, and they kept blood! I thought they'd only keep Naruto's stabing and his blood! So, if you really want a good leadup to the final hour of 2005, "White Past: Hidden Ambition" is a very great episode!

10/10

Next Week: The Weapons Known as Shinobi
So, my take on his decision, you shouldn't give Haku the last laugh! Being alive is the best thing in the world, and she should keep her life! Come on, why don't you just become a regular person in the Land of Waves!!!??? The decision comes next week, but until next time:

Happy New Year 2006 from the Land of Waves!!!

-Kakashi gets cooler with each episode.:D Electricity usage gets the okay from me.^_^

-Aw, Haku was so cute as a kid!<3 I thought the silence right before Haku tells Naruto to kill him was very creepy.:eek:

-Check out what was on the shirts of the dogs! ...The only reason I was able to recognize it was because of the Digimon Nohemon.:p The question is, why?:confused:

-Meh, the start was cool while it lasted.

Damn, I think they spent the rest of their animation budget on the Haku/Naruto 'fight.'

"When sketching faces, Japanese will often put the letters no, mo, and he to represent the eyes, nose, and mouth. Nohemon's eyes are the letter no, his nose is the letter mo, and his mouth is the letter he."

I will continue to ignore whatever the creator, anime and manga say about Haku's gender. >_> He looks WAY too feminine to be male, especially from what we see when he's only a kid. Plus it feels weird to look at a pretty guy. :(

Seriously, just by the anime alone, it looks like they were confused themselves as to what Haku's gender is.

I think they made Haku so feminine to make the VIEWERS confused as to who he is. He was covered by a mask and then when he was unvealed he still looked feminine. And also, his voice was also a mixture of both genders, it can be a high pitched male or low pitched female. And at the end Hakus gender is finally revealed. Why they made this a mystery I have no clue.

Anyway great episode. No more annoying mirrors. Great fights and flashbacks.

I know that, but I want to know why the faces were on the back of the dogs' shirts.

Because it's a Japanese thing? >_> Similar to all the ongoing American gags in cartoons.
