    I can't do anything else but to agree with all previous posters on the majority of things mentioned.
    Though I wondered why Sakura has long hair in the learning-flashback?

    I also thought it was strange that Sakura had long hair in the flashback. Considering she started training with Tsunade when Sasuke left. Maybe she grew her hair back to chop it off again? Or something equally retarded.

    But the clone fighting scene...5 mins of repeated movement and Neji's "insight" just really killed it. I should edit all the previous 5 episodes to take out those unnecessary scenes and create a super-mega-hyper-global-lameless episode(s) that should have been done.

    I agree with DarthEnder that the animators should be shot, but why stop there? The directors should also be shot for allowing this to happen and the way that they edited these past few episodes have seriously undermined the quality of the show before the time jump.

    There....that felt better.

    Or someone can do the opposite - remove all the crap from the last 10 episodes and make remaining scenes into a single episode packed with real content.

    truly a disappointing episode. The entire "Did you hear that sound?" "Yeah" "Yeah" "Wonder what it was?" "Neji, check!" etc. etc. sequence was terrible. Gai and Lee looked like some kind of retarded kung-fu ballet and it took the entire first half of the episode to establish that, yes, the cave is collapsing.

    Massive chunks of iron sand don't really seem to be a good idea, especially if the opponent deflects them all the time without much difficulty. The second form in this episode was cool. Kudos to Sakura for using her head. Other than that, I wasn't very happy with this episode.

    I'm gonna really start reading the manga now. I prefer watching just the animes, as the two mediums and fluid animation offer alot more potential to wow, but Shippuuden really hasn't done that for me, only in a few places.

    @Yuki- I figured updating the top post in a thread wouldn't be that big a deal, especially to add link to the version most people are used to. And we can do what we want with the OP if we feel it makes the discussions flow better or provide essential information of interest to the thread.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Bad ep....as everyone said before, the Gai scene was so bad i thought my eyes were gonna bleed...
    I really didnt enjoy the 1st half of the episode, I think they dragged out the Sakura punching iron sand chunk scene way too long. I thought the opening was a upcoming filler so I was about to have a heart attack until I learned that it was for a movie

    AND holy shit they made the iron sand "law" move looked so lame!! In the manga, it actually gave me the "omfg holy shit" feeling and made me feel like it was one of Sasori's trump cards but in the anime, they made it seem like a small technique that Sasori has...

    Maybe to show us that time had passed since Naruto left and finally she was too busy training to cut her hair! -dg-

    i like to compare the manga with the animation and I like how they add little things here and there to make the scenes more exciting. it's not surprise that the team gai fight scenes are boring, but I think the sakura fight is always worth watching because of the new jutsu's. i like it.

    On a different note, one of us mentioned Team Guy's clones may have all been genjitsu. I took that seriously for a while, until I saw them radio each other again. They haven't really shown us what those clones are at the moment, have they? I'm thinking they're like the itach/kisame zero technique, and somehow gain your stats when you touch the seal. But they why didn't Kakashi have a clone too? If the idea was to make sure two teams had to be there to dispel the seal, then why not hold up the team at the entrance as well?

    And I don't know what the Third Kazekage's/Sasori's limitations on the control of Iron Sand are, but I would have done a Gaara and used Desert Coffin on Sakura, but I guess that would just add to the repetition.

    Neji's byakugan should be able to see through the genjutsu though.

    i thought byakugan was only for physical material? and its zooming ability?

    No...that's the reason kage bunshin worked on Neji, because it wasn't a genjutsu.

    What do you mean by physical material anyway? Genjutsu isn't physical material, so that would be all the more reason why he'd be able to differentiate.

    Heh, all that made me think what it would be like if Akatsuki put Shukaku inside Sasori. One-tails unlimited chakra powering the iron sand? Sweeeeeeet.

    Maybe Akatsuki thought that if they could take on anyone who removed the seal on the boulder and didn't bother to make a trap there?

    If time has passed and her hair grew back, we should've seen some growth as well. All we saw was little 12 year old Sakura from the first arc.

    I'm just going to take it in as the animators screwed up.

    She has long hair in the manga flashback as well.

    Or she was only working on Healing Jutsu's for the first part of the training and the second part was more battle training. So I dont think that the animators screwed up, I just think that they were showing exactly what I said, which was training on medical jutsu's and then got her ass beat by Tsundae! -dg-

    She cut her hair in the Chuunin Exam arc, well before she met Tsunade. Though it's possible she let it grow during her time with Tsunade, it doesn't seem likely since cutting it was such a big deal for her in the first place. It was supposed to show her committment to becoming a better ninja.
