The animation style in Naruto Shippuden starts to notably change around Episode 167 during the Pain arc. Brace yourself for some epic fights!
Honestly, the animation quality improves gradually over the series, but Episode 167 is definitely a turning point for many fans.
Hot take: The animation changes aren't always that noticeable. It's the storytelling that keeps you hooked!
Episode 167 is when a lot of fans noticed the animation difference. The Pain vs. Naruto fight is lit!
