| Overall, I think the fight between Shikamaru and that girl was pretty nice. It's kind of I guess odd that he keeps on getting paired up against women, and particularly women who are kind of more of more of the animosity kind of type where they're angry and I don't know. It seems to be a pattern at this point for Shakamar's fights to end up this way, but that's neither here nor there. The issue and the strength of this episode is in the way that there is tension is built up frequently and then released every couple seconds there's this feeling that the tides change in who's winning the fight, but then gets revealed to actually be the other way around and I think that this episode expertly does that. I think there's actually something in animation or just media in general about the rule of the wreath. Maybe it's a rule of fiction that I've heard of, and I think this episode actually incorporates that because it has that that little trick of oh you thought that Shikamaru was losing. Well, it's actually the other way around. I think it does that trickly three times if I'm a nom mistaken. I think that's I don't mind that there's three different fights going on at the same time it's that's whatever it doesn't distract from my enjoyments. I think Shikamara's fight so far is just the most interesting given that it's something that's, like, creative. I mean, the way they usees the shadow Jitsu is very cool, and I think, you know, the animation is ads, whatever. I think the choreography is actually something to note and respect a lot. It's a strength of this anime. But I think a better thing is actually paying attention to those strategy battles that are happening. I think it's really creative and enjoyable and I'm just impressed by all of it. I think. this billillain is actually really cute, the woman, I would imagine she's, like, 18 or 19 or something. And it's kind of interesting seeing the themes of, like, child children or young adults being thrust into war and forced to fight, and I think this whole anime is just rife with that kind of theme, and it'spertly done, I think of is probably the reason why our do is so influential and has been a cornerstone of the anime media for decades now. The felon that Naruto's facing seems veryexpressive and I think it's due time to really get into the weeds of fitness motivations and we've already started going down the path. I think we need a backstory at this point. I think perhaps in the coming episode we'll get that anyways I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. |
