Yotsubato! 79, Yotsuba & V: While in principle I think this is a nice, neat idea for a chapter, and it was pretty cute, I have to say after the long waits for each new slice of adorable Yotsuba comedy, I wanted a fair bit more. It will be nice to look back on as part of a larger work, but here and now I was disappointed.  

Naruto 584: The trouble with these lengthy flashbacks is that their purpose ought either to be to get the audience sympathising with a villain and see their nobility, or to ease tension because it makes it very likely that once their story is told, the hero will kill them. Neither is a good thing for Naruto to be doing this late in the arc. It’s just not easy to care.
