Now, anyone comparing this animation to Dragon Ball Super is way off base. Super's animation is so terrible it is almost enough to make me cry. The earlier episodes were obviously worse, but, to be fair, it hasn't gotten much better. And when you're used to how terrible the animation is for Super, it's easy to excuse episodes like this one.

The episode was fine. The only thing that annoyed me was the flashback at the beginning. Obito's past-flashbacks (as much as I love Obito) are beginning to get as frustrating as the damn Uchiha Massacre flashbacks. Like, stop showing them already, we've got those scenes memorized by now. At the very least they gave me something to listen to on my playlist.

I'll agree, no recent anime has crappier animation from Super who only as of late have pulled their socks up at last or at least started to.

I know, the over usage of flashbacks is going to make the Naruto anime crash harder than the Bleach Manga if they do this in the Naruto vs Sasuke fight i.e. no new fight choreography, just straight out of a manga panel with stiff looking animation and flashbacks of anything with even the vaguest of connection to current events...and then maybe some filler half way through (last one was a joke.)
