Suzuki, Hirofumi

Reksho already said it, but the quality that was put into ep82 of Shippuden just stands so far out from most of the series to this point. There's no action or anything, but it really stands out as being a great episode. It's almost as though it's from a different series entirely. Really shows how much the director can effect a series.

And there he goes again. Episode 166 of Naruto Shippuden. Hinata's coolness factor just went THROUGH THE ROOF!

This guy has unbelievable animation skills. Episode 82 of Naruto Shippuden was so perfectly done, he nailed those sad moments. And then, there was episode 84. Man, I never knew that animation of this quality was possible. Great guy.
