ep was reasonable good. kinda different from the manga but good. Lee will probably live, unless theres like some wacky plot where he dies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Yay! Finally watched the ep. I'd have to agree with thundrakkon that as an anime-only person, it doesn't feel too much like filler. When there's no action or fighting, we get to see a lot of decent character development. It's especially good to see Tsunade starting to think about her responsiblities to the village, and to see that she also cares for Lee and genuinely wants to help him.

Naruto, although he is good at empathizing with the pain of people who have been isolated like him, doesn't have experience with losing someone as close as a family member. It was kind of exasperating to see him trying to coax out Konohamaru, because he just didn't get it. The kid doesn't want ramen, he wants someone to care about him. Although, I'd have to give Naruto credit for finally getting this by the end of the episode.

And I know that everyone has already said this but....yay, Sakura did something worthwhile and brought flowers for Lee!

Assertn: I don't think Jiraiya would mind dying at the hot springs town if it was by drowning in a pool full of beautiful women [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] He'd die with his eyes open, and a smile on his face

But the women left, so He would really die alone without friends

I didn't really like the episode as a whole. Granted, it did show some character development in Konohamaru. I was slightly impressed that he felt... well... better for a lack of a better word. He accepted what happend and is ready to move on... to me, it's the little things such as that which makes a good character and helps build on a good anime series.
