Naruto Shippuden SNvS OVA - Entertaining

As what is essentially a simple 6 minute long music video, the OVA itself is actually quite entertaining. As the fast paced scenes detailing their lives flash past, a sense of character is implied quite well, their fighting styles detailed and brought across with clarity. Naruto with his over-zealous passion and limitless energy, Sasuke with his cold, calculated strikes.

Most of the scenes used in the animation range from 5 - 15 seconds in length, and this works well with the pace of the song, which is quite a catchy tune even though I can't understand a word of it, enjoying music isn't limited to your own language.

I've seen a few reviews describing the animation in this OVA as "fan-made", or below the standards of Shippuden. If anything, I find the animation, textures and colour styles of this OVA to be of better quality. However, that is simply because a different studio created it and a different studio has different results.

In all, an entertaining 6 minutes, with a good re-watch value thanks to the music, clipds from major events in the shows history and well animated fight scenes. This is a recommended watch for any fan of the series.
