//Summary
Okay i just watched this episode and it is utter crap once again. I was so bored through it especially the last half of it. At this rate the anime is failing pretty damn hard while the manga is excelling in everyway possible. Anyways to the summary.
So Orochimaru has vomited a sword up and its flying at Sai. It hits Sai and he has a surprised emotion on his face. And shock it was a clone. Haha its not like we haven't seen this trick before. As Sai's clone is falling to the ground it has some really fuked up expression, that made me lol, i will get a screenshot of this. Orochimaru the creep is still licking things, like omg as if he hasnt got AIDS or anything yet, the amount of things he has licked from episode 1 of the original Naruto series to the lastest Shippuuden episode is like wtf.
Anyways his sword turns into a snake and returns to Orochimaru. Sai just pops out of the ground haha like wtf. Naruto is still on that damn rock getting the Kyuubi chakra's surpressed. He is roaring in pain. Haha and this is classic. From 1:11 to 1:14 and 1:18 to 1:21 Naruto is dancing on the rock. Haha i shit you not go and watch the episode he is friggen dancing on the rock while getting the Kyuubi chakra sucked out of him, it looks so funny and ridiculous how the hell are you spose to take that seriously. Then Sakura states 'He's inured so badly', what? Now way is he? I wonder what all the screaming in pain was for the last 1 mintue then Sakura you dumb B-itch. And all this screaming reminds me of Dragonball Z >.> it deos seems Naruto is following the DragonBall Z style, and if it does im not going to watch it anymore.
And then Yamato finishes up and damn Naruto is so like sunburnt, he could get skin cancer from that shit. Put some sunscreen on you idiot. Sakura runs towards Naruto screaming again, but dissapointling she didnt get b-i-t-c-h slapped this time. Sai and Orochimaru are chatting, Yamato's clone is still watching, Narutos is still so damn sunburnt. Naruto is making weird noises as Sakura rubs his nipples O.O the same flashback where there talking about Naruto and the Kuuybi happens again. Sakura and Yamato are chatting some more. Naruto wakes up, Sakura cries....again. Naruto has has amensia and doesnt remember anything, starts yelling about Sai, Sakura punches him.
Sai and Orochimaru are still just staring at each other, Kabuto crash tackles Sa from behind I guess he wants some too......Sai gives Orochimaru the all-mighty secret documents that contains naked photos of Sasuke for Orochimaru and Kabuto to masterbate about. Then Orochiamru decideds 'more the merrier' and lets Sai come with them. Naruto dosnt know it was him that caused all that destruction. They get Sai's picture book thingo and just talk about Sai the whole time. And thats the end of the episode. Pretty gay wasn't it? Yeah i thought so.
//Review
Okay well i decided to do one anyways.
Pros:
- Really awesome character interactions and development. Sakura really shows her emotions for Naruto(unfortunately, they don't seem romantic...) and again expresses her feelings of inadequacy. Sai finally exposes his secret mission and quite possibly the reason he and Naruto never got along(Naruto seems to have a skill for sniffing out badguys). Yamato does some team bonding with Sakura and Naruto. Even Orochimaru and Kabuto had a moment there.
- Good animation. Reminded me alot of the first part of the Gaara vs Deidara fight. Which I liked. So, good looking episode.
- Great sound, voices, music, etc.
- Pacing was alright could have been paced abit more, I was worried when I saw the episode titles that things were going to move painfully slow... and they have been moving slowly, but the anime team has done a great job of making it feel natural. Thumbs up.
- Sai with sword in his chest = cool. Too bad it wasn't real. Sai's ink clone, also = cool.
- Get some insight into Yamato. Essentially, he is just a science experiment. Hopefully will get some more development centered around that. I assume it wasn't easy growing up for him.
Cons:
- Yamato's wood clone telling Yamato that despite his appearances, he is a good tracker. Wtf?
- Seems a little unrealistic that Sai would forget ALL HIS STUFF, although as Yamato said, he was nervous so I guess it makes a little more sense.
- Got some oldschool whiny Sakura action. She was so badass against Sasori and now she is useless all over again. Meh.
- Some choppy character animations(pretty minuscule complaint)
General:
- This was a alright episode. Not a lot happened, but it had some good character development, and what did happen was important.
- Noticing that the overall quality of the anime has started to improve. Getting back to the old-style Naruto again. Now the just need to tighten up their soundtrack and we are 100% back on track.
- Next week should be a good episode, looks like the teams are on the move again.
- WHY DID THE CLONE TELL YAMATO HE WAS A GOOD TRACKER.
Picture of the week
Clone: "Just in case you had forgot, despite my appearances, I am a good tracker"
Yamato: "Thanks clone. I know. You are a copy of me"

*sigh*

Sai looking good

And this picture, when sai got stabbed it was actaully his clone that got stabbed but why is there blood at the end of the sword. Heres the picture.

Dont mind my MS paint skills :p
