Can't wait to see what will happen next.
I'll agree that the actual battle in this episode isn't quite as interesting as the episode before it...but it was nice to get a glimpse at Orochimaru's thought process and his past with the 3rd Hokage..
"Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job."
Yeah, this episode is really good when it comes to explaining some things. So, the Second was the Third's sensei; the Third was Orochimaru and Jiraiya's sensei; Jiraiya was the Forth's sensei; Orochimaru was Anko's sensei (well, that we already knew); and the Forth was Kakashi's sensei. Eheh
Orochimaru is one sick bastard, but I agree with him at some points.

Agreed.
What I love about Naruto is how they are all connected~
“I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy
orochimaru reminds me dante in fma03 only in naruto style xD
and the third hokage is totally badass, can't wait to see what's that jutsu going to do.
but as people here says, the battle dragging to long, kishimoto have the same format of battle for too long now as it's stand: fight, reaching some point when the other is the underdog, remembering his past, power up, end of the fight xD
I was getting a bit emotional at the end, I can't lie. I love how it flashed through all the teams and senseis from children to adults to the current teams and the hokage's words are very heartwarming
third hokage's effort and care for the village was making me emotional as well. he knows he has to win this because no one else in the village can compare to orochimaru's power. stakes are so high in this arc i love it.
