yay - animation!!

we're here to watch movement - it's called ANIME for a reason - not ART-ime.

if you want to see pretty pictures read the manga. people that read the manga already know the story, and they're just watching to see the action visualized.

and yes, art quality and movement quality are inversely proportional. it always has been in naruto. (except in naruto vs kiba - i dunno wtf happened there)

everyone agrees ep 30's great. and it is because it had the best ANIMATION (i.e. movement). There was a plump sakura in it, and there's a plump orochimaru in this one. I think it's their hidden trademark they're putting in the episodes.

can't wait to get home and d/l this sucka =D
