A lot of things in this ep felt like they were going in slow motion. I didn't feel much excitement when the characters took action (even the actions I wasn't expecting like Sakura punching through trees and Naruto rasenganing through trees...poor trees). The sand stuff was somewhat more interesting, but still it felt like the ep was running through molasses.
It's because of the flashbacks of their first bell training. That totally ruined it.
What happend to the sexy animation? I'm not going to complain, after all, it can't be perfect. Did Deidara and Sasori walk through the slit in the outer barrier in the manga? I think Deidara made the bird before he entered.
Even if this ep was running through molasses, its better than anything we've watched for the past 2 years of Naruto. Would you rather have everything go fast paced with lots of excitement for a short while or would you rather have everything go at a slow pace with a little excitement here and there for a long time to come. I'd rather have a slow-moving, good storyline than a fast-moving story with a script that I would find in a kindergartener's imagination.

did anyone else notice the inconsistancy at the very begining? you see kakashi standing with his protector over his eye and then 2 secs later he has it off.. n the animation wasnt as good as others have said.. but as stated i prefer it to go slow and keep a good distance from the fillers as much as possible
Surprised there's so much bitching about it. I guess the cock tease of what's to come outweighed the expected results of the current execution.
Honestly I didn't think it was that bad. Again I'll take stretched-out manga content over filler any day.
I guess the sheer badassiddy of the Sauske reappearance/cocktease got peoples expectations up to astronomical levels. I'm sure they'll be able to deliver when the times comes (especially in the next episode).
Did anyone else anticipate the light sabre sound when Sasori and Deidara were walking through the wall with Star Wars music? Not to mention when Kakashi starts doing is taijutsu.
Then there's the Lord of the Rings music when Sakura shows her strength.
I actually liked the music... Though it doesn't beat the old music it's still there....Originally Posted by JaySee
Wow...so many flashbacks. And yeah, I agree that everything felt like it was going in slow motion. There was absolutely no tension in the episode, stuff just kinda...happened. On the other hand, I saw no problems with the animation. None of it was particularly lazy animation, and the actual fight scenes were pretty fluid. I don't get it. Why are people complaining?
Anyway, as for the content itself: I loved it regardless of pacing. The new Akatsuki guy Deidara is great, creating clay spider-bomb things and ranting about art. And Gaara, finally doing something after spending 2 episodes sitting quietly, shifting his eyes around...
I'm not sure I like how Sakura and Tsunade's strength really isn't physical strength at all. Basically anyone with good enough chakra control can become super strong now. That kinda makes it less amazing in my opinion. I do like how she's improved, however. Both her and Naruto have definitely gotten stronger, and that's promising.
I assumed they were made out of gunpowder until I remembered that guns don't exist in the Naruto universe. Funny that they have this substance with explosive properties, but have never actually used it.Deidara's Art Jutsus seem to be made from that mouth on his hand, and whatever is in the bag. I wonder what the actual properties of those forms are.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
