I agree. Some sad moments hit like a truck and nobody can deny that. I don't have a problem with the show itself but with the fillers and the people who don't consider watching the fillers and giving it a 10. I'm sure if these naruto fans had to watch 200 episodes of filler they would reconsider if the say can be called a 10 after that. The same goes for Boruto. People hate it for its inconsistency and fillers but nobody says this about Naruto cause of the nostalgic factor I presume?
I think it's more because of the general world building. For the most part of Naruto, the world was a cool and dangerous place, with countries conflicting, with criminals and mercenaries etc. Meanwhile, in Boruto, it's a happy life of pretending to be ninja. It's just goofy for the most part, because half of Boruto's storylines just treat the legacy of old characters and places badly


Oh yeah, I get it. Even I wouldn't want my fav. anime to get a sequel just for the sake of it. They are pretty much saying whatever Naruto did in the show was in vain since the villains/antagonists in Boruto haven't made it possible to achieve peace.

bruh since when a shounen can be a 10/10 anyway.
and also skipping the fillers isn't the same as skipping the bad parts, the former (fillers) don't add anything to the story they are there just to "fill" the time but the latter (bad parts) are cannon but something is wrong with'em
and beside all of this, who TF said shippuden is a 10/10 ? life-lesson: if you see a wrong opinion to this extent either you fight with the person or ignore him. but dont quote him!

Skipping fillers and skipping the bad parts is absolutely not comparable. Due to the nature of a filler it's not only going to suffer in writing due to basically being outsourced since they're never written by the original author, but also will have absolutely no bearing on the show as a whole. The bad parts on the other hand are still part of the show and due have bearing on the plot, so unlike fillers, the bad parts aren't optional. I won't say the show doesn't deserve criticism for it, but the statements aren't comparable.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. But like when it was airing people had to watch the fillers right? 1 ep a week and that too filler would have sucked hard imo.

The only people that consider Naruto Shippuden a 10/10 are those who only have watched mainstream anime or those who rate only on the basis of their enjoyment. For example, I am someone who had given Shippuden a 10 as it was the first anime I have seen but as I watched more anime I realized that there are quite a bit of anime that are better than Naruto (still have given Shippuden a 9 as it was my first anime).

Shipudden is total shit in terms of writting
The only characters which were great in whole Naruto were pain and jiraya
But pain arc's shit ending even ruined them
It got its moments, but I will find animes with similar or even higher peaks in less episodes
Or even animes whose every episode is good

I don't wanna waste my time on 400 ep to just get 1 great ep(that also when I ignore all the f*king plotholes for that single damn scene)

Fillers are not an original material. Comparing it with "skip the bad parts" is not apple to apple. Anyways, I rarely see people say Shippuden was perfect, and there's no perfect anime series either.

Not everyone hate fillers, I personally love fillers (whatever they are) because those make me see more of the character, world, or even the anime itself (even if they are not canon). Because I love anime.


So you're saying you've seen every filler the Naruto series has to offer? Damn you're a masochist if you love them all. Also, more than half of the filler arc has new filler characters for a span of a few episodes which have literally no role in the storyline so I don't see how it helps. Also, filler/movies in fact ruin the world-building since it's not canon. You can easily see how some filler antagonists are so overpowered that they are literally on par (if not stronger) than the actual canon antagonists.

I don't understand how can you endure those god-awful fillers but not the ending of the AOT manga lol. You see what I'm saying?


every naruto filler? yes i watched them. i've no problem being called masochist.

no role in the storyline? why should i care i just love seeing more naruto story that's why i love it. and no it didn't ruin world building because it is not canon... and with filler antagonists overpowered, that makes it even better bruh, i like overpowered character.

endure it? not precisely. I can't endure something that i don't need to endure.

Yes i know what you said about AoT because you might see my list. But the thing is i don't like the ending because lack of explanation. And if the anime explain that with filler then I love it. You know what I mean?

to be honest i quoted you by accident (sorry).
but since we're having this conversation, it depends on how you rate shows that you watch, to my knowledge there are 3 main ways:
1-rating things according to their tags. which i think is the most correct way but also the hardest cuz anime serious have a tendency to be miscategorized (don't ask why please)
2-rate things in comparison to everything else (like i do).
and 3- rating it however the hell you want (like on enjoyment only). which is in fact the most garbage way of rating anything. this is the way i think the people you're talking about rate stuff

so that's why i said shounens can never be rated 10/10 cuz no matter how good they are, the childishness of it simply prevents it from being as good as something like ping pong the animation or mushishi (tried my hardest to come up with things that get better the older you are)

Is any series a masterpiece? I find the whole idea of flawless anime to be a pretty unrealistic concept. All it comes down to is people having their own criteria for what they believe to be good or bad anime. And if you choose to watch filler, that's your own choice. But it doesn't really have any relevance to the story. It doesn't really serve any purpose other than filling up the airtime of an anime when it's airing.

Not to spoil anything, but even the basic plot has problems towards the end, which is just HUH factor. Naruto as a show is a 6-7/10 show with 10/10 moments, that's how I see it.

Sure, I was actually one of those people, but this is no longer the case. If you had to deal with waiting till all these filler were over, then yeah I would say that's a bit more comparable. It makes sense for people to say skip the fillers now compared to back then when you not only couldn't skip them, but also most of us barely even knew what a filler was at that point. Waiting week to week hoping the next episode is actually worth watching and being disappointed over and over is not something people can replicate anymore since the episodes have already aired, so it's fine for people to recommend skipping them.

Nah it's ok lol I'm pretty much towards the end and I know there are a lot of wtf moments that don't make sense. Plot-wise I'd give it a 7 without the fillers. Including the fillers, I'm giving it a 6. I do agree with the moments. Some moments do hit you like a truck.

It's definitely not "the same". By definition a filler won't have impact on the plot and isn't required to watch it to understand the development of the story. A "bad part", on the other hand, does have impact and you have to watch it in order to achieve the same. The filler is skippable with no cost at all, the "bad part" is not, unless you are willing to incur a cost.

It's for this reason that yes, if fillers are entirely skippable, you do no wrong in not letting them influence your score of the show as a whole.

If you wanna review Naruto, review based on the manga I guess. The anime is obviously not adapted perfectly since it introduces a bunch of problems which are not there in the manga.

I mean, fillers were done to excuse the time it would take for the manga to go ahead in the first place. That's why people say review the show without the fillers.

Since obviously fillers are not part of the canon show, how is it existing gonna affect the story and stuff? I don't understand when people say include the fillers when rating the series Naruto. For the show, makes sense - the series, no.

There also seem to be a wild misconception with Naruto having lots of plot holes. First of all, people exaggerate without knowing the meaning when saying that. If we go by the actual definition.

There is only some that are completely not explainable at all. And some of it is from the war arc, I mean the author literally was forced by shonen jump to write the otsutsuki things in to leave something for a sequel(boruto). That's the reason why the second half of that is fucked.

But the internet's theory of the reincarantion, child of prophecy, hardwork, talk no jutsu just being straight up magic, neji's thing, ninja world - dbz powering up, Naruto's character being shit, are all false.

In fact, it's ironic considering Naruto is painted as the "friendship anime", when Naruto only wanted to become friends with a few people in the entire story. Everything else is him calling out people on their bs.

If you skip everything that is bad surely what's left is only good .
So with that flawless execution of logic it's a 10/10

Pretty sure whoever told you it's a 10 is just a bit fanboying .
People do that all the time for all sorts of anime. No big deal

10/10 obviously doesnt mean no flaws. There is no in between of 9/10 and 10/10.. sometimes u give something thats near perfect a 10/10.


People dont include filler into their consideration for their rating like some people tend to forget the awful chimera arc of hxh. Sometimes u just try to see it in a more positive light

Shippuden was really good up until the end of the pain arc after that it goes downhill.
10/10 doesn't mean anime is perfect it means that you enjoyed it the most.

I love Naruto series and i also gave Naruto a 10/10. but Shippuden was like meh for me. it started off quite well with the akatsuki arc and stuff, but things started to went bad when the great war began. if your consider Shippuden uptil the war, it was a definite 10/10. considering the war it was a 6 or 7/10 though.

All these comments and no one talked about the placement of the filler episodes. Even the ANBU Kakashi arc is lessened by being placed in the middle of of life and death story plot points. Fillers get a lot of hate for basically being extended commercials to make you wait for the show to come back on.

I never got basing the quality of a show off of other peoples opinions. It's such a strange idea to base your expectations on what the masses think. I give the Dragonball anime a 10/10. I love what Akira Toriyama and the anime team did with the story. I could argue for it's quality or refer you to youtube to do that on my behalf.

But it doesn't matter. If you think Dragonball is a horrible show, feel free to think that way. A person who thinks Shippuden is 10/10 feels questionable because that person likely refuses to watch certain anime based on nonsense. But that person can enjoy Shippuden as a 10/10 show. They just won't find everyone else putting it up there like they do.
