It was fun, it reminds me about what initially drew me to Naruto: fun characters, having fun with weird ninja stuff and magic mixed in.

It's quite funny that after Lee and Guy bristled with confidence, Metal knows he's under pressure. Also, Shikadai knows the best tactic when faced with superior firepower: run (the series got real there for a second).

Also, the series remembered that Shuriken throwing was a thing!

I'm enjoying this. Hell, even the flashbacks are actual flashbacks and not "20 minutes of what i already saw 20 times-backs". Just a brief few seconds to stress the point in stead of a montage. Although the pink girl still stands out like a sore thumb.

Also, Shikamaru doesn't care that his son gets in trouble, but Tamari shows who's the real boss. UltimaDude wrote: When will this filler arc end? Judging by the setting and the setting of the Manga, in about 2-3 years.
