Naruto ~ Shippuden: Episode 27

Rating: 6/10 (when the last five episode screenshots look like they’re from the same episode, you know something’s wrong)

Impressions:

There are far too many flashback references to Sasori’s parents, and his separation from them. It makes the episode extremely ‘drudge-y’ and slow. If the excessive flashbacking are supposed to increase sympathy for the puppet master, it fails pretty badly. At least they portray Sakura and Chiyo with little or no remorse. Sasori’s end is pretty anti-climatic. The trouble with shounen series is, a seemingly impossibly powerful character will appear to be merciless and overwhelming in the beginning, but go down stupidly, as there would be no other possible way for the protagonists to defeat him. Sasori’s demise makes him almost seem weak.
