Glad to see Konoha is finally starting to realizesome of the things most of us had figured out over an arc ago.

It is nice that they're making Pain out to be such a real threat. Someone that has to be analyzed and such.

I'm actually kind of relieved that the frog sage couldn't merge with Naruto since I really didn't want all of Naruto's cool fight scene having a frog on his shoulder. Especially since we all know he's got a much better method of standing still and attacking at the same time.

It's always like that. I guess they figures its worth spending more money on something they are going to show 20+ than on something they are only going to show once.
