well the animation looks terrible. if that's what this "sakuga" is, then it sucks. and they should never use it again.

Seriously? Lol

Every single major fight since Sasuke vs. Orochimaru in the forest of death has been animated with sakuga. Naruto vs. Sasuke in the final valley was animated this way, among lots of others, and you can find ridiculous images from all of them, but it doesn't mean the animation sucks.

Sure, Pain makes faces that he would never make in the manga... Sasuke and Naruto have been making those kinds of faces since part 1, but people only complain about Pain vs Naruto..

People are free to dislike that style, but calling it bad is just ignorant. It's a fact that the episode was done by some of the best freelance animators in Japan. They animated it like that on purpose, not because they aren't skilled enough to do it the way you like.

It's the same as saying all Jazz music is shit just because you don't like the genre.

Kakuzu vs Team ten by far

Sasuke vs Itachi and Minato vs Obito without a doubt
