It was actually the very same animation style the used in the Valley of End, you could really see the resemblances. But Naruto so it seems, has 2 or 3 teams that work on it. The normal team, which just draws every normal episode, good quality drawings, not really motion based. The fast animation team, which does this funky **** and while it looked good in the Naruto vs. Sasuke match, it looked crap here. And then there is that movie team (though, it might just as well be the normal team, drawing with higher quality), like we saw an episode ago, last week. Man, seriously, if you don't watch Naruto anymore, I definitely suggest you check last weeks episode. Best. Drawings. Ever.
