>Skipping this much canon ever
terrible advice
Eh, the Pain arc is unrelated to a good bit of canon and holds up on its own pretty well. If you watch the very beginning of Shippuden, you'll know why they'd be after Naruto (and hell, I think it was at least partly mentioned in the original series), and the only new Jutsu he develops in those 150 episodes (that don't all include him) is the wind shuriken. I would revise my statement to recommend watching Jiraiya's episodes before the Invasion of the Hidden Leaf, though. Should give him plenty of background to understand what happens.

Whether or not Pain's arc stands on it or not isn't the issue. Even so, that doesn't necessarily mean all the canon material before it is worthless and worth skipping.

It looks like you are making two points here but I can only see one. >.>

Anyways, there are arcs before it that I enjoyed (such as Shikamaru and Hidan), and I'm sure another person might enjoy some of the other arcs. But since the OP expressed boredom with the first few arcs and the Pain arc can stand on its own, I think it'd be best for him to just skip all the nonsense (because, really, there's a good bit of nonsense along the way).

If the OP were enjoying it so far, though, it'd admittedly be a different story.

I find Yorknew to be just as good, but it is definitely better than everything else.

Edit: to OP, if you haven't reached it yet, you never will.

Everyone is saying Hunter X Hunter yet I am wondering when Hunter X Hunter gets really good. Part 1 Naruto got interesting for me quickly when I had first watched it, Hunter X Hunter not so much.

Naruto has a couple of amazing highs but it drags through so much of it, filler or not. That plus I never could like any of the characters much means it'll never be one of my favorites. I think you have to be somewhat of a masochist to really love the show.

You only watched 40 episodes so i don't think you should give up yet. Just skip the fillers,dude I've seen them all and they're horrible,the best thing about not watching weekly is that you can do that.
You could give up after pain's arc or after episode 262-ish? it just goes downhill from that point.

Episode 1 for me. The timeskip made all the annoying characters from the first show bearable and the main plot finally started the **** up again after all that filler in the first show. Then there was the better music to top it off.

Just drop it if you don't find it interesting, I've dropped it and picked it back up myself about 3 times, myself, usually when there is a long flashback/filler arc. Naruto's quality control is very questionable.

By the final stages of HF it was a relief when the SOL music kicked up but at the beginning of the story it was really annoying. Honestly, I didn't think there was that much cooking in HF.

If you asked me it some years ago I would say: "Watch it" right away, but right now I don't know if I can tell you that, thing is, it is dragging for so long, and there's so many fillers episodes that really annoys anyone, I keep going coz you know, I watched 390 episodes, and there's some parts that I want to see animated, but still, it's tiring...it's like Bleach manga, should have been over years ago!

When fillers come in and you have to either watch them or skip them(aka wait weeks sometimes months) that is annoying and messes with the experience especially if it comes in during a bad time.

Only problem I had with the beginning (at my re-watch) was that it was noticeably slower, than usual, Team 7 going to the sand village, and from there to the Akatsuki hideout, was really slow, and Team Guy fighting against themselves (which I skipped in my re-watch), other than those two things, the Kazekage arc was amazing for me.

The pacing gets good again, from the Hidan and Kakzu arc, and onward.

THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL!

I, for a long time, believe that naruto was overrated and over-hyped. But boy was I wrong. Naruto:shippuden starts getting good around episode 50-60. And from them on it only gets better. The pain arc in naurto is an absolute masterpiece and directed very well.
