I, uh... I don't even know what to say. Anybody defending the anime please step in and prove me wrong, or at least explain it because I don't get how this is quality storytelling.

'Cause I just watched 22 minutes of Sasuke and Sai discovering Kara exists. I... that's the ONLY thing we got out of this episode. Proving the organization exists.

Like, I get that they're buying time, but this is just ridiculous.

If the argument is: "well now we get more depth to Kara, we see something we hadn't seen before, new additions to the world-building"... what additions? The friggin' ANBU changes? THAT throwaway line?

Sasuke & Sai go to Ame, meet a dude, the guy reveals he works for Kara, then he dies, they go back to the Leaf.

That's it. That's the episode. And they stretched it out for 22 minutes.

Like, the largest threat in this episode was a crumbling ceiling, as if Sasuke couldn't use Susanoo to literally stop the rocks from falling and take a closer look at the experimentation equipment.

How is this not basically the same as filler except for the technicality that it's canon?
