Pros
- canon... nuff said
- nice action-packed episode (there wasn't that much compared to other episodes but at least there was enough to keep you satisfied)
- pacing was quite good, good enough to keep you entertained throughout the episode
- dat Obito (I swear the god I love every quote that comes out from his mouth)
- glad they didn't extend the flashbacks or added too many
Cons:
- animation & artwork was below par sometimes
- very disappointed to see the scene of Gai's Hirudora going by too quickly and the impact was off-panel
- I feel that the animators shouldn't copy the exact same scenes from other episode and add it into other episodes (like the scene of Kyuubi attacking Konoha); felt the animators were quite lazy and they should have reanimated those scenes (though it's not much of a con because as I said before, the flashbacks were very short)
- Juubi looked a bit weird and I also didn't like the choice of colouring of its skin
Gets a 3.5/5 from me, but I will rate it 5/5 just because canon returned. The next few episode will have good animation so be prepared, guys.
