OK! Let's get this long weekend started (well, if you're in Canada anyways, you Americans have to wait a whole week before you get to lounge around in bed on what would otherwise be a school / work day)! The 263rd episode of the Japanese Naruto: Shippuuden anime series has arrived! Entitled: Sai and Shin - this is the episode you'll be wanting if you're a Naruto fan, and really for no other particular reason. As usual you'll find it over on our Naruto BitTorrent page. Of course, torrenting is a ton of work, and who wants to have to do all that downloading and program opening on days such as this. Luckily, if you happen to be one of our amazing animePLUS! Members, who get UNLIMITED access to Naruto and 1400 other anime series, you can head over to our Naruto: Shippuuden Anime Downloads page, where you'll find this episode for a convenient, fast, direct HTTP download or new INSTANT streaming!
