seconded. animation was shoddy throughout the episode and rife with repeats. Watching Deidara's bird constantly fly around with that shitty ass half-hearted flapping and no dynamic movement at all was horrible. Oddly, the best animation comes with the final anti-air spear firing from the Sand's side, at 23:24. There's great detail on Deidara's face and his movement is so fluid. The arrow and dodge are so quick, and then the zoom into his eye and the explosion and debris flying is without a doubt the best animation in the entire episode. But why just use it there?Originally Posted by Assassin
edit - ah, i see, thanks assertn. animeaniax, i obvsiously was just using that one thing because it struck me as looking so awful. and i don't care if it is in the manga or not. if it looks stupid, it looks stupid.
sums up my feelings quite nicely.Originally Posted by StillAlive
also think Kank's attacking them was a stupid move.
