and apparently this is a thing Naruto Shippuden Filler List | The Ultimate Anime Filler Guide

can't **** around with this

Actually been enjoying Naruto from the beginning this time. It helps that I'm not in my mid-20s "hate shonen anime" phase. I got real tired of anime in my 20s and was probably looking for a reason to hate Naruto. So maybe I'm in the right frame of mind this time. It's fun at least.

I don't know, man, you might be off base. The pacing is kind of horrendous tbh. The bridge building arc just won't end. Eight ****ing episodes with one fight at the very beginning that was cool, a bunch of mildly interesting training, endless sitting around a house talking about some kid nobody cares about and his dead step-dad nobody cares about either, at least two long flashbacks, and of course you already know that nothing is going to happen for a long while because the two guys who fought at the beginning are recuperating after their fight and are unable to do anything but be in bed or hobble around on crutches.

This show is quickly draining my enthusiasm. One Piece is vastly superior.

Any anime show where they stand still in the middle of fights and talk at length, Dragon Ball style = no thanks.

My rule of thumb. It's so tedious and unrealistic. Kills absolutely all momentum and dramatic weight the fight could have had.

That's why Fist of the North Star is still the greatest Shonen series of all time.

Bad Guy: Yo, watch this, I'm gonna do the secret technique of-

Kenshiro, after pushing one of his pressure points and making his head explode: Next.

Finished episode 14, said "Naruto can suck my ass", and ****ed off to finally watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Some good ****.



****in' gnarly.

that's kinda cute I guess, it's not my fault you're missing out on the some of the unquestionably sickest stuff that there has ever been









how about I just go ahead and say don't watch the original series then

I'm probably just going to take that suggestion then. Cause watching 14 episodes of Naruto pissed me off until I had to switch to another show because I was so sick of Naruto that I didn't understand how anybody else could have soldiered on. The Zabuza arc simply sapped the life out of me.
