I didn't actually mind the ramen comments. They were so stupid they were actually quite funny. And somehow I like the interaction between Naruto and Hinata during those scenes; like Hinata has a never ending patience for Naruto's lack of wits. They'd make such a good couple.

The only weakness in this episode was the ending battle. Though the technique wasn't bad, the scene before that was quite miserable; the three dudes basically just stood there, and then suddenly Naruto and the Nano ninja were punched a little, and they were down. Too bad they couldn't anime a decent, ferocious fight scene that would have ended with the piranha bubble.
