For those who missed it.

Just in case you didn't notice how much QUALITY was in that fight scene, this video kindly breaks it down.

The thing is, the fight is pretty exciting and fast-paced in a way that I wish the rest of the series would match, but I just can't with these faces.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Yeah, the execution leaves something to be desired. If the faces and limbs weren't so... blegh while in action, this episode wouldn't be so infamous.

Feels almost like the Ultimate Ninja Storm games at times. In a more zanier, over-the-top series like say, One Piece or Dragon Ball, this sort of exaggerated models would work fine, but in something more "serious" like Naruto it just results in Narm.

The animation's also fucked too.

That moment where he crashed headfirst into the wall, too much crashing & tumbling around so it really does feel like a Looney Tune's episode.

Conceptually, the fight scenes are epic. In execution, there is plenty Q U A L I T Y to go around.

This episode is beyond my expectations. XD

Yes, Sakura, six is greater than four. Glad your counting skills are still sharp.

All this talk about Ninetales being dangerous; Pokeballs exist for a reason, people!

Oh no! The quality animation is getting to her, too! tongue

We're gonna need a bigger Pokéball. Maybe even a Master Ball.

"Naruto and Pain. They're moving away from the village!"

"Wait, what do you mean?"

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM AND THE VILLAGE IS INCREASING WITH TIME, SAKURA.

Was Pain having a stroke just now? What was that face?

[up][up] It's a very advanced concept, Sakura!

[up] The strain of the jutsu is killing the controller of the Pain bodies, but they're showing Pain as opposed to Nagato coughing up more blood.

Fun fact: Both Yamato and Pain are Troy Baker. So the guy trying to seal the Nine-Tails inside of Naruto is also the guy that caused it to go out of control in the first place. Very counterproductive.

And then suddenly, the Yellow Flash!

I'm going to pack it up here. Hope you enjoyed the QUALITY tonight, everyone. [lol]

[down] Indeed. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by, well, you know.

Naruto nearly giving himself over to the Nine-Tailed Fox is a pretty chilling scene.

Goodnight!

Well, I certainly understand what the episode was trying to do, so I give them points for that. But I just can't get past that Q U A L I T Y.
