@Terra: Her name is Isaribi.

The only thing that striked me as badly animated in this episode was when Naruto shat himself after hearing that his team was back the way he came.

I thought that Shino's voice was a little different in this ep. It was a little darker than usual. Anyone else hear this?

I tried to find the ending song, but to no avail.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] 'tis my favourite as well. I'm hoping that the new endings will follow the format that the Bleach endings had for Houki Boushi. A new character every episode, that would be great. This ending was the first time I didn't get annoyed by seeing Sakura, she was in fact sort of cute.
