I thought it was funny at the start of the preview when they said there's gonna be a "Thank you" special show.

It's like, "Thank you for sitting through all these fillers for over a year with less than half-baked ideas and stories week after week after week."

They claim to get all their viewers back with the showing of a "guest," which i thought was funny too for some reason.

On the episode itself, it was neat how they all had teamwork and all but I don't get how Naruto missed the bird the first time and then all of a sudden float in the air a little bit higher and got its foot. I think it would have been neat to have the rock Sakura threw at the bird to head towards Naruto instead so he can maybe jump off of it to get an extra boost to catch the bird or something. At least that would better explain how Naruto got that extra mysterious altitude.
