I think at times the Manga was too succinct and it occasionally felt rushed. I liked temari vs tenten being shown, even if it was not a particularly spectacular or memorable battle. I liked the Three Tails arc because i hated the idea that a Biju was out there, and nobody was trying to control it. I liked that it showed more scenes with the K11.

But where occasionally the Anime provided a richer experience, i also feel that it tried to drag things way too much. Many battles were dragged out endlessly by entire flashbacks, whereas most Manga flashbacks imply true "flash" backs in stead of several minutes of rewatching entire parts. I mean, Naruto walking by the waterside? Sasuke's clan being murdered? We've seen it, but the Anime showed it more than a dozen times. There's a point where a flashback works for emphasis, and a point where a flashback is just getting ridiculous.
