Well, Gaara’s a literal monster. Anyway, it finally gets somewhere and the real fight starts. I was really getting bored for awhile, and if I had to watch more of Gaara on his siblings shoulders or Naruto and the others jumping through the tree, I would have been pissed. Anyway, you get the fight with Shino, and Gaara’s transformation forming. In the end it works, and right when I was feeling really sick of how slow it was all going. But the fight with Shino worked, and even though the even more extra scenes with Konohamaru (although the cracked Hokage fight was a nice touch) and just the usual unnecessary parts that is with all big three, it was a nice episode again. I’ll give another seven out of ten, and I really hope things get going faster. Shino got a nice boost, and even though I feel it could have possibly helped Kankuro while they were at it, I feel maybe Shino although a creep, deserved a little. We know his character, and so if he does something one day good for him. But until then he’s just another character, and isn’t exactly necessary. This easily could have been Shikamaru going on ahead to take his place, but I get it. Good job for Shino, also Gaara and his half monster face is scary.
