    So... i need to be psichologically ready, will this team animate any other episode soon?

    Y, if these guys honestly prefer the shitty animation in each regular episode, then just let them.

    This animation is what shaky cam is to live action films.

    Not that the normal animation is good by any stretch, but one I tolerate, the other actively annoys me.

    This is, kind of, an apt analogy. Both are completely valid stylistic choices, both are controversial, the impact of both on the coherence of the shot is overblown, and in both cases the detractors are largely being philistines about deviations from the norm instead of having legitimate directoral criticism.

    None of the gifmakers fixated on things that I thought needed to get caught, like Pain sitting up from out of the ground without actually pushing himself up off it, so he looked like the Undertaker doing a stunt on a pro-wrestling show. The choreography at points was pretty lazily similar to the director's previous effort, with Pain even generating an ocean so he can do similar stunts that Sasuke did, and what the hell is he trying to accomplish exactly in the infamous roadrunner legs shot? It looks like he is getting ready to bum rush the Kyuubi but in the next few seconds he is running away.

    None of this, though, really detracts from the insane energy of the fight, which is really exactly what it needed (this arc is really long and boring and Pain is a dipshit of a villain).

    Hey, I got negative repped with a reply to my last post. Gotta keep your shitty rebuttals anonymous, pussy?

    That I just found annoying. Oro vs. the 3rd, Sasuke vs. Naruto 2, now this, it's like these animators are incapable of animating a fight unless it takes place on water.

    Not that I blame them entirely, high speed skating over the water just looks badass.

    Nope, not at all, I neg'ed you. Not worried about being anonymous at all, but negative rep means a long term (if tiny) effect on your rep score, rather then a post here, which only impacts this specific thread. I disagree with the folks who like this episode's animation, but everyone is allowed an opinion and while I may disagree with them, I'm perfectly willing to limit my comments to replies there. But you are coming across as a rude, arrogant troll who is mostly out to pick a fight. And that, in my book, did deserve a negative rep rather then a simple reply.

    This is some kind of post all right.

    For putting rep to the purpose for which its intended? Well, then sure, call me a bundle of sticks.

    Dude! There's like way too many posts in this thread. This is like two episodes ago, too. Someone needs to wrap this up. A completely different style was used, some liked it, some didn't. The pace was intense, but at the cost of crisp animation. Anything else?

    Of course the anime was just as shitty, in the next two episodes. Just in a different way.

    Pain getting hammered into the ground is still the most lollable scene in Naruto, imo.

    See, the hammering of pain by kyubi naruto is symbollic. Kyubi represents the collective hatred of the Naruto fanbase by frustratingly hammering Pain, who represents the potential awesomeness of the story's setup, in a pre-emptive measure against Kishimoto inevitably ruining yet another arc like he has with so many others as he continuously writes himself into corners.

    Found this on another site and thought it was funny. I have to admit though, the animation for this episode was awful.

    This is news to me. Which other arcs have been collectively hated by the community?

    I haven't disliked any of the canon arcs so far.

    Some say every arc except the Zabuza Arc, others say every arc after the chuunin exam. I myself am a bit more generous, though, and would probably say everything after Gaara vs Kimimaro excluding Shikamaru vs Hidan.

    Don't be mistaken, I'm not saying there's nothing good in those arcs. In order to "ruin" an arc, it has to start out with promise. Most of the shippudden arcs manage that, but something dissappointing always seems to happen near the end to ruin it.
