Excellent episode! I love that the other genin teams are not just some featureless nobodies who are simply there to provide the scrolls for the main characters. And even though Shira is probably just Sunagakure's Rock Lee, I like his team very much. I am surprised, but this is a filler arc I really am eager to watch, even when the next episode is going to be flashback-loaded.

The only thing I don't like that much is that until now, the whole arc is a little bit too much centred on Team 9, which is understandable since Neji became a jonin, he he must've done some pretty tough moves during the exam (and well, he's dead, so fans want to see more of him...). I just hope the other teams (especially Team 8) get the same amount of attention later on.
