Naruto Shippuuden Episode 123

Seems like some of your are clumping "art" and "animation" as the same thing. If you don't like the art style that's fine, but anyone saying the actual *animation* was bad needs to have their eyes examined asap.

Well what I meant by this episodes animation being kick ass and the art being lame is that even though the characters looked flat and weren't very detailed, the actual animation itself was really well done. It's quick and simple. Although if you're comparing it to episode 85 which I also think is very similar, then I agree that the art was better in 85 than in this one. However, personally, I like this episodes overall look. Animation and art. Episode 85 had too much detail in everyone's faces and fighting. It doesn't come off as the animators working hard so much as it just not going well. You don't need details in the characters if the animation is top notch. You can't play with the animation and make things fast and bouncy like 123 was. Sasuke's fighting was much faster than when kakashi and hidan were flying around fighting each other.

You obviously never watched the Birdy season 2 aired episodes...

When I watched this episode I surely noticed the studio was cutting corners extra deep with shadows and other details, but to be entirely frank this is Naruto so I'm more or less used to vast differences between episodes.

I'm glad you say that you're used to it because I watched some of the episodes that you're talking about and he's just great at anything. I saw no problems. I'll watch a little more, but his style is instantly noticeable. I want to see him even animate Luffy in some Op to see how that would look. I really don't know what problem you guys have with his animation style. It's better than 90% of the other Naruto crap we have to bear through.

Maybe it's just me, but I can clearly see the still frames, and the stuttering and fake looking motion blur. There was better animation in the original Naruto.
