There's nothing particularlly bad about this episode just nothing particularlly good or interesting. Me and my roommate had to force ourselfves to watch this but after we finished watching it we washed the bad taste from our mouths by digging into a our quickly dwindling samurai champloo stache (dammit have to ration it out to have any hopes of enduring more of the fillers). Yesh it's almost like if an american animation studio was allowed to produce naruto. This crap is so fricking generic, I swear if the whole series was filled with nothing but this I would have never bothered watching it. God even with semi interesting elements like a bounty hunter it was still tedious and boring. WHY IS IT SO FRICKING HARD TO MAKE A HALF DECENT STORYLINE WHY DOES THE STUDIO HIRE MONKEYS TO WRITE THE SCRIPS! I hope kishimoto sees this crap and does something about it. sigh 5 more months to go.
