Not like the 90s, but around it. More episodes to expand the story, but not fillerish episodes that don't really add anything worthwhile and become Naruto filler. Would help to get rid of the usual format of MOTD and try new ideas.
Wanted them to be close to the manga while fleshing things out here and there. So its kind of there, but not quite as there are things changed a bit too much or cutting things out still.
Don't like the idea that just because it was on TV that they don't fix home releases. If they had time to improve the season, they can have time to fix it on blu-ray.
More real time and like the idea of hand-to-hand combat. Felt like they did stock footage to hide the budget at times in certain episodes. At the very least, have a mix of both types.
Depends on expectations. If its too low, I can see Toei going for a lower staff or going back to ONA. Trading extras away for a bigger episode count might not have been worth it.
