I just done watching the episode and I feel like I get where everyone is saying it's rushed, but I still think it can be called a good episode. Yeah, the animation seems pretty off. And honestly? The new ending is... Almost unappealing, even to me. I only like the end of that and I usually love most endings. The animation for that, while I understand the style they were trying to go for, was just unappealing. And some of Naruto's actions... Like his running and stuff? I found myself thinking, "Are you really panicking like that?" and "Are you really running like that, Naruto?" Even when he stopped to take that quick breather I was just thinking, "Really?" because the animation was just so... Yeah.
But the episode I liked. Yeah, it was rushed, but I personally want to get to Kushina's appearance, so I'm hardly about to complain. I just loved Bee's appearance, especially the music. He's just so freaking cool! And that music had to have played in all his scenes, more or less. It's a shame they'll have to lose that factor in the next few episodes, if not the very next. You know they won't use that track so often from here on out. Oh, and Naruto's darker half: almost made me laugh. Just because he, strangely, reminded me of Dark Link. I guess because I've seen some fanart of him over the years that really is similiar to Naruto's darker half. Ha.
I'd give the episode a 5/5, for the sake of the content - rushed or not. I'm looking forward to seeing Bee as a kid in the next episode~! Motoi... Not so much. Not saying I don't like him; he just doesn't make a cute kid. Or adult, it would seem... Not the point.
