5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise, November 25, 2009

This review is from: Naruto: Shippuden, Vol. 3 (DVD)

Before I begin this review, I will just comment and say that this Volume 3 offers Shippuden DVD buyers a pleasant surprise; the volume features 125 minutes of content, 5 episodes at 2 hours! The previous two sets only offered 4 episodes, but this one has five.

Now Shippuden fans will enjoy this set because it kicks off right on the high note that the last sets left us.

Episodes are as follows (I will avoid major spoilers again).

Episode 9: The Jinchuriki's Tears (scenes from Manga Vol 28, Chapters 251, 252)
Episode 10: Sealing Jutsu: Nine Phantom Dragons (scenes from Manga Vol 28, Chapters 253, Vol 29, Chapters 254 & 255)
Episode 11: The Medical Ninja's Student (scenes from Manga Vol 28, Chapters 253, Vol 29. Chapters 254 & 255)
Episode 12: The Retired Granny's Determination (Manga Vol 29, Chapters 254, 255, 256, and 257)
Episode 13: A Meeting With Destiny (Manga Vol 29. Chapters 256, 257, 258)

The opening song ("Hero's Come Back by Nobody Knows) remains as well as the ending song ("Shooting Star" by Home Made Kazoku)still remain perfect matches and actually dont feel old at all.

I will say that the episodes give the chapters justice and even helps with getting the personality of Granny Chiyo across in the first and second episodes of this set. Another bonus is that we get to see and hear more of the members of the Akatsuki, see the influence that Naruto had on Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari, and see nice fights in the final episode of this set.

Extra's include: Trailers (Naruto Shippuden (arent we already watching Naruto Shippuden, why do we need a trailer for it on the DVD?, lol), Naruto Shippuden the Movie (an awesome movie!), Naruto Shippuden Ninja Council 4 (DS), Bleach Movie 2: Diamond Dust Rebellion trailer (nice movie)), New From Viz Media (images of Shonen Jump manga offerings), Online Features (images of where you can download episodes (Playstation Network Video front, Amazon on Demand, iTunes, Xbox Live), and places streaming the latest episodes from Japan for free (hulu, joost)). Lastly, it is bilingual (Japanese audio, English audio, English subtitles)

This is a great set to get for those interested in the next set of episodes, and for newcomers, it is possible to jump into the Naruto Shippuden series with episode 9 since it concludes the Gaara fighting incident and moves on to the arrival of Naruto and others in the Sand Village. Finally, the episodes are original and uncut, so you will get the full versions of the opening and ending without it being cut off like on tv, and the extra scenes at the end of the episode.

As usual, the final episode leaves us on a cliffhanger, making us beg for the release of the 4th DVD, which should come out soon.
