Nice thread as always, Kirin-san....

Honestly, I wouldn't get my hypes up for this fight in the anime. As known that Studio Pierrot plans to do their Naruto episode by in-house production episodes followed with outsourced ones like the latest episode and the next episode for example. However, Date claimed before that they have done with pre-production stage till episode #410 before two weeks ago. And now it should be done more than that. This fillers proves to us that the studio could stretch the anime as much as they please all for the best business. So by the updating the main page of Naruto anime in TV-Tokyo's website, we could estimate that it's an indication that this filler arc won't end so soon (July to be optimistic ;)). Also, it's good opportunity for the studio to do their best to adapt the remaining canon events with better animations. Frankly, the upcoming Boruto movie is now in the storyboarding stage according to Date's tweets and we have a lot of time for the animators to do their work on the movie for production stage. So perhaps, the anime may be getting to worse for the next two/three months until the movie done.
