lol at all the Sai bashing, seriously. His fairly weak looking jutsu aside (although the upside of being able to draw shit that comes to life offers absurd possibilities), people are seriously complaining about his character design and how he dresses?"oh my god i'm gonna catch teh ghey from N@Rooto!11"
I don't remember Shikamaru's fish-net undershirt, Haku's cross-dressing, or any of the other fugly character outfits getting flack like this.
Sounds like a bunch of queens at Fire Island gossipping about "the new boy's" lack of conformity... "Oh my god, can you believe what he's wearing?" "You can't just let your clothes do the talking for you, girlfriend"
also, lol to see the people who read the manga voice their strong opinions and then half the other people go "oh yeah, i agree, i feel the same way"
/rant over
In all seriousness though, this episode stands out for the comedy. I thought Shino was weird as hell in it, like Darth said, "an invisibility complex". He never struck me as the kind of guy who'd get all dejected because retarded Naruto didn't remember his name. Seriously, outside of filler episodes, they've exchanged all of ten words maybe, when Shino was fighting Kankuro at the end of the Invasion of Konoha? Honestly, that was the gayest thing in this episode. Funny though.
The bit with Kakashi's face was humorous too. Also, watching that extremely bad video on the website added to the comedy, as the typos and errors just gave it that B-grade flavor.
