See that's what I thought was the problem as well. The timing of the music seemed off. Even the sound effects aren't used properly. When the kyuubi is powering up his rasengan, the liquid sound doesnt work. I always envisioned the chakra as a "flame", where its slowly deteriorating his body, not boiled water. The animation was good, but the sound effects and music should have been used better, and the episode would have worked faster.
