Really awful episode.

I felt like this episode was the exact opposite of the Curry of Life final episode. That arc was horrible, animation and story wise, all the way until its last episode. This arc was pretty good as far as animation and story goes, right up until this episode.

Anko got owned. Naruto is an absolute worthless piece of trash. Shino isn't doing well.

I guess I just can't get over Konoha ninjas doing well at one time in the series and then getting their asses whooped a minute later.
