This was a nice episode. Funny as hell, freakin Tsunade xD. You know she wasn't taking any shit, real or perceived. God, and Shikamaru catching it in the mouth lol! "I'm not fat!". I really don't mind some of the canon being mixed in with the filler. Gives them grounding to try and deliver a product that doesn't suck. While this isn't like hxh filler, they've still managed a good level of success thus far. Furthermore, it progresses the story, so that by the time this half filler is done, we may get to actually see some of the cooler stuff that's to come, sooner. But seriously...get off the wind chakra dick, kthx.
