Heavy flashbacks were to be expected, this is the beginning of a new story arc involving characters that havent been really seen for years so they had to show the background for Sasuke, Itachi and Orochimaru for the new watchers.

The flashbacks, omg the flashbacks, with a bunch of crap talk mixing in the way. It's as if we didn't watch Naruto so they had to explain what happened earlier, yeah, EXPLAIN. I don't think that theres people who watched naruto shippuuden straight away.The Tsunade part was also a huge waste of time. So overall i forwarded like, maybe 5 times.
Though the animation was great, but heck, its just less than 15 minutes of it. I do expect flashbacks for this epi but seriously it's too much, so i'm hoping that next episode won't be a let down.

Well too bad there were so many flashbacks. But at least they got those done and can hopefully just focus on the fight now. Should be a good one with both Sasuke and Orochimaru ready to go at it. With it time to transfer Orochimaru is not in a great condition yet if Sasuke is sloppy he loses his body.
Oh well either way one of those guys will go down which isn't a bad thing.

I don't think we'll ever be done with fillers...but for the moment it looks like its back on track.
Still oring though...this isn't my fav arc either.... But thats only cause I'm not a Sasuke fan.

Slow, and not my favorite subjects. But I think they did a good job of contrasting Sasuke and Orochimaru, and they used quite a bit of symbolism to. (Not so much the too-obvious snake and hawk, I was impressed by the butterfly that flies into the flame)

lol'd at animal deaths. First burning moth my instant comment "dumbshit." Then the rat "pwnt." Then the snake "lolz." Then there's the 'hawk > snake' comment to which I reply "but the snake made the hawk..."

I enjoyed this episode. Despite all the flashbacks, I felt like a lot went on. Also, some of the flashbacks were technically new and somewhat informative. For example, I enjoyed some of the flashbacks which depicted in detail the various kinds of experiments Orochimaru was doing. But seeing how many of you so far seem to disprove of this episode almost makes me wonder if all the fillers might've just lowered my own standards *that* much.
