I almost had an heart-attack from this episode's greatness. I wasn't prepared at all for this kind of quality. I mean we had just lowered our expectations to near zero, then BAM! they hit us with this.

The animation was truly splendid. It almost made me gasp when Anko did the fire breath and the fire hit the water, beautiful.

I really hope they don't end this they way they ended the bug arc. I don't think I would be able to handle the emotional trauma.
