Just finished watching this on January 31, 2022 after hearing a lot about it as well as seeing clips of it every now and then - and all I have to say is what an amazing series this was. Even though its Rock Lee, I've always wanted to see another character from Naruto have his own show, and what an amazing series this was. Especially since they made it into a comedy show, which was extremely funny especially TenTen who at least got more screentime in this than in Naruto altogether. I really liked how they even joked about there own show, characters and even more. Honestly can't believe they cut it short with the episodes, they should honestly have continued making more since it's possible especially with all the characters like Orchimaru, Kakashi, Naruto, etc but by far I'd have to say the moment that got me surprised and hyped up was when they switched to animated design of Rock Lee fighting against Sasuke and the fact that they even joked about the meaning of Karin with the giraffe. Like each episode progressively, got funnier and funnier. Not only that but the fact that they made Neji do the same, as usually he's just this mature, serious, humble, kindful, caring guy while also having a humorous side which is something you've never expected. Same thing with Orchimaru, who is just hilarous despite him plotting things, and being who he is. I even liked how every character had its own funny side/part of themselves, and how they all cheered for Rock Lee as well as Naruto when they fought against Sasuke. Like they hype was so much, glad that it finally lead up to here to the fight against Sasuke. Not just that but the amount of drip they had as well especially Shikimaru when he showed up in a white suit and sunglasses. Oh and of course Guy Sensei and Kakashi with there drip, iconic moments and the amount of funny moments they've had. Such an underrated show, truly legendary, iconic, comedic, funny, amazing and much more. Like I literally could just go on and on about how amazing this show was especially the last episode like I've been talking about, but if I were to continue I wouldn't even have enough space to finish what I have to say. Like that's how amazing and funny it was.
