Well, the episode itself just felt somewhat... strange or weird, as for me. Personally, I'd rather wait for the novels getting animated, especially since I'm not a fan of such flashback stories. And yeah, the different artstyle and lack of music in the proper moments also confuse my mind. It can even be considered a little creepy.

But the thing that I really got interested in is the new opening. Of course, it's not the best opening I've seen, yet it's one of the best compared to some of the recent ones (as for me, the openings' quality became a bit diluted after the 16-th one). And yeah, I also noticed a glimpse of Sai-Ino moment which could indicate that their relationship would be explained more in the future episodes (I'd say, it's going to be in Shikamaru Hiden adaptation, since there, Ino saved him from the genjutsu control). And nice to see the Last characters' designs in action once more.

Besides, am I the only one who finds Sasuke's hairstyle in the final moments of opening very similar to Madara's hair as a kid?
