Dissapointments galore for the actual fight. Too much like dragon ball, needlessly large explosions, but I guess you don't have to worry about stealth as a ninja if you blow up everyone that could possibly see you.

That aside, I liked the dialog and the translation of it was well done (at least on MS). It was made perfectly clear finally by both parties where they stood and how they felt. Overall, I got a sense that they entire story would have been better if there were less characters that were given more indepth story than all the watered down and sometimes unanswered/unfinished plotlines/holes/bits that we ended up with.

I mean are we really naive enough to believe that when the MT is undone that EVERYONE is just going to get along? That Orochimaru will just be like "meh, that was fun, guess I'll go further mankind with my science now".

It wasn't bad, but as others have said, it felt rushed. Maybe like Kishi just doesn't care anymore and wants to be done with it. One thing I can say is this ending is NOTHING like I would have suspected back in 2002 when I started reading this.
