I'm going with Chunin Exam and Invasion of Konoha, though I'm hoping for entire Part I. The cast also kinda sorta look like their characters - just wish they weren't all Japanese, but what can you do?

Well this is a Japanese production from a Japanese manga so I don't see why there is a problem that the whole cast is Japanese? American entertainment are notorious for 'whitewashing' casts (The Last Airbender, Exodus etc) so there really shouldn't be any complaints.
