truly a disappointing episode. The entire "Did you hear that sound?" "Yeah" "Yeah" "Wonder what it was?" "Neji, check!" etc. etc. sequence was terrible. Gai and Lee looked like some kind of retarded kung-fu ballet and it took the entire first half of the episode to establish that, yes, the cave is collapsing.
Massive chunks of iron sand don't really seem to be a good idea, especially if the opponent deflects them all the time without much difficulty. The second form in this episode was cool. Kudos to Sakura for using her head. Other than that, I wasn't very happy with this episode.
I'm gonna really start reading the manga now. I prefer watching just the animes, as the two mediums and fluid animation offer alot more potential to wow, but Shippuuden really hasn't done that for me, only in a few places.
@Yuki- I figured updating the top post in a thread wouldn't be that big a deal, especially to add link to the version most people are used to. And we can do what we want with the OP if we feel it makes the discussions flow better or provide essential information of interest to the thread.
