You know what I love about Full Metal Alchemist that sets it apart from Naruto? -- it's animation is consistant. I swear, it never deviates or abruptly changes. I love Naruto like I love nothing else right now, but the inconsistancy of their animation breaks my heart. Take a lesson from FMA.

Unfortunately that's the fault of the animation studio who is notoriously known for being inconsistant--Pierrot.

Yeah. That's too bad. I still think the best animation ever was in the last three episodes of the fight against Haku.

Which episode numbers were those? I've been wanting to see those eps of the anime, 'cause they have some of my favorite scenes from the manga (when Sasuke sacrifices himself for Naruto & Naruto goes fox-demonic and when Naruto goes off on Zabuza about how much Haku loved him).

I don't remember exactly... I'd say from 18-23 is the range you want, just to be sure.

Naruto's first transformation is fantastically animated. And the fight that follows is so swift and brutal. And at one point the camera does this really amazing pull-back shot that gos backward from the fallen characters to the rest of the characters to the bridge as a whole until finally you see the crowd of villagers at the end. Fascinating work with perspectives.
