I thought the fight was epic the anime really brought it to life, I didn't see any flaws, deva path vs kyubi was very entertaining also, he was the first character to really hold his own against kyubi. the fight also had a lot of meaning, about how ones hate can drive them to unthinkable heights of good and evil. The fight made naruto realised that nagato was just an ordinary man seeking revenge under the banner of justice (destruction of kohana) , and to rid the world of war through infinite pain (ultimate destruction). Through the whole ordeal naruto over came his hate for nagato in the end, realising that revenge only brings more pain, hate then more revenge, and the only way to bring peace to the world, is through forgiveness, understanding and love.

The fight was kinda faulty in the sense that nagato wasn't really fighting to kill naruto but to capture him alive in order to seal kyubi. As as a result nagato didn't go all out on him but he didn't have no mercy for anybody else, the fight was good in the sense that it had more meaning rather than just skills, techniques and the victor of the fight. Through hate, pain and the zeal to get revenge, the fight also revealed to us why a character like saskue would betray his village and go over to the dark side.

Sorry if I strayed off topic, the animation of the fight was excellent to me.

I liked the whole arc, but when the Deva Path fought the Kyuubi it got weird, it seems like they animated it that way on purpose, because they could've done it like all the other battles but chose to do it the bad cartoon-ish way.

From the opening theme I had a feeling this arc would fail and I was right. I stopped watching the anime after the 4th Hokage left.

Pain arc was epic in manga, but poor in anime. I dont even talk about Kyuubi-Naruto vs Pain part, just compare this:


Its clear which battle was made better. Animation in Naruto vs. Pain fight was as dynamic as 90 year old grandma, at least for the most of it. There were moments when it was better, like:


Still, those were only moments. Overall, that fight was made poorly. Shame, becuase it was first real battle for Naruto after TS and it was important for the plot.
