ep 71 was EXCELLENT, ep 48-50 (w/ rock lee and gaara) and ep 30, 66-67 were my favorites otherwise...because Sasuke owns in 30 and 66-67, and rock lee owns in 48-50...if i had to pick an absolute favorite, though, it would be 71 because(hopefully isnt anything bad, but...) the music was F*CKING AWESOME during the fights...
